Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.


I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.

I met the bionic man's brother. He's J, our neighbour.

J remarked how well R was walking and then shared that his brother has had his 2 knees replaced, his 2 hips replaced, his 2 shoulders replaced and a metal plate in his upper spine. Wow, that's the most replacement I have every heard of. Can't imagine going through all of that.

cwille,

I am going to buy a bell pepper plant this weekend. You have inspired me to try my hand at growing some!

I know that you planted seeds but I feel more comfortable with starting off with a small plant.

How soon does it produce peppers 🫑?

I can believe the bridge supports didn’t include rubber bumpers or mandatory tug boating into the port!,,

Llamalover,
That is tragic, the loss of lives and a historical bridge.

Our beloved Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD is NO MORE as it collapsed when a large cargo ship struck it. This is tragic as workers were on the bridge at time of impact @ 1;30 A.M. Prayers are needed.

Geaton,

It’s the same way in my state . By me the rules are different for grocery stores than true liquor stores . The grocery stores have to card everyone for anything bought in that area of the store , even if you bought just a wine stopper and no drinks. They have to scan a drivers license for every purchase .

Please someone explain to me why my local grocery stores need to card me whenever I buy Busch NA (NO ALCOHOL) beer??? If I go to Total Wine no one ever cards me when I buy it there...or anything else in that store that does contain alcohol...

Anxiety,

Dye it if you like.

My mom’s friend never stopped dying hers and she was in her 90’s.

Mom’s generation were part of that Hollywood era. My mom didn’t even go get her mail without her makeup on!

They were glamour girls. I loved the 1940’s fashion.

Geeeez, my autocorrect is hexed! You know that my post below should read card HIM not HER. I know that I typed HIM and not HER! LOL 😆

Anxiety,

One time my husband got carded by the cashier when he was buying a bottle of wine. He was in his 40’s at the time! I asked him if he felt like hugging her for carding her. 😝 LOL

He laughed and said that she sold booze to a teenage girl and got into trouble so from then on she was going to card everyone!

I always looked younger than my years but when I stopped dying my hair I looked older. I got sick of coloring my hair and it’s just about all silver now.

That’s funny about the app with you looking like Kevin Bacon. He doesn’t look his age either.

My son years ago had an app, you take a pic and it tells you what actor you look like,

Well apparently I look like Kevin Beacon.

Well I'm a girl but at least I look like a hot guy. 😂

I'm 60, I don't feel old at all! I mean I'm shocked at how not old I feel.
At least until I look close up in a mirror. 😆, then its like oh yeah your 60.

During covid, I had a face mask on. I was buying cigarettes for my husband, I and I got carded. So I pulled my face mask down, young girl, said oh ok. She was a bit embarrassed after.

I think at 50 I felt older but that was menopause time.

I am wondering what age is old, or will I feel old

Thank you, Golden.

You’re every bit as cool as Kevin Bacon! Young at heart! I want to stay young at heart forever, or at least as long as I can! 😝

I watched the documentary on Martha Stuart. She does not strike me as the typical 82 year old! Some people remain incredibly involved in life.

Need So glad for you and dh that the results are within normal range.

Love Kevin Bacon!!! Old? Who's old??? 😉

Is anyone a Kevin Bacon fan?

He’s 65 years old now. In my opinion, he is still very good looking and very cool!

His hit movie, ‘Footloose’ was released in 1984.

The students at the high school where it was filmed asked him to visit for their prom. They started a campaign to get him there. They even had their own production of Footloose! So cute!

Anyway, I think it’s great that he announced on television to a gym full of students that he would attend their prom.

I am 68. I don’t feel ‘old.’ Just curious, what age do you consider to be old?

I wonder when most people start to feel old. I think our mental outlook plays a huge part in how we feel. There are people in their 40’s and 50’s who act like someone in their 80’s!

Thinking of Golden 😊. Whenever I see her post her age I always have a hard time believing it, because she has such a young vibe!

My husband got his lab results back today. He had his follow up appointment (prostate cancer.)

There was a slight increase in numbers but they were within normal range. They will continue to monitor.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it.

I am so sorry. She looks like she was a sweetheart! Our beloved pets become part of our family.

Thank you Need. Sadly, she wore the bandana to cover an ugly incision. She was very old, already diagnosed with cancers when surrendered, and an emotional wreck. We only had a year together. She was special to me.
