A very good friend of mine's birthday is on Monday, and this year will be the first year that I get to wish her a happy birthday on Facebook Messenger instead of emailing her.

Well yesterday I had to go to an appt, my gf was taking me and my dear neighbor Jeff helped fold my walker and put it in her backseat and when she started up her car, it would not start, so Jeff came to rescue again, went and got his battery charger and charged what appears to be a run down battery. With less driving in the last year, some cars are losing battery charges...so Jeff helped 2 dames in distress...This is my recent good feeling.

I was outside enjoying some sunshine, from where I was standing, I could see one of our local mountains (Laguna) covered in snow; it was such a pretty sight.

I agree; here I am in San Diego, where is it sunny and warm, meanwhile I have a friend who is in *Baker, California (coming back from Las Vegas), and it is snowing.

*Baker is located in the high desert region of San Bernardino County, where Southern California borders Nevada.

Yep! Baker is that really small town halfway between LA and Vegas where there are fast food restaurants for a food break and a rest ! My ex hubby and I used to drive to Vegas a lot, such a long boring drive, I couldn't wait to hit Baker ! :D:cool:

It is a boring, long, and arduous drive.

Baker is famous for the world's tallest thermometer:lol:

As they say about So. Cal., one can go to the beach and to the mountains on the same day, and if one is hearty, swim and ski in winter the same day. The Pacific Ocean is just too cold for me, the sun and sand are nice and warm.

Oral or rectal?

Never mind. Either way, ouch.

I went for a nice walk for the first time this year today! It was really beautiful out too.

I brought 2 new pairs of Shoes over the weekend. 1 at Walmart this past Friday & 1 at Marshall’s this past Saturday

I might be getting my haircut at a salon on Friday!

I did a shopping favor for an older guy on my block and he handed me a wad of $20's that I declined to take. I didn't really look, but it had to be $60.00 or $80.00

He told me that he had to give me something and if I drink alcohol, and I said "Now that I'll take." He gave me this neat Carolans Irish Cream box set that he told me he got as a gift years ago, but has no need for it.

God bless you Jimmy :)

I am expecting to be in Chicago for my birthday week
This August

Got a big "feel good hug" from one of my neighbor guy s who shops for me. When he dropped off the hot chicken we hugged as he left. He's been on the fence with the covid issue and I think maybe he's off the fence now. CA is finally opening up and maybe he has too. No mask on him either.

My birthday is in a week from tomorrow!

I did another shopping trip for a neighbor and he gave me a bottle of Patrón XO Cafe. I won't take his money, so he gives me liquor.

For my birthday, I got gift cards to Burger King and Chili’s along with a new wireless keyboard for my laptop.

My latest "Thank You" gift from the neighbor I shop for was a Cheese, Cracker, and Sausage food basket.

Latest "Thank You" gift from the neighbor I shop for was a box of Mark Twain cigars.

I'm going away for a weekend in July at Bellport, Long Island for a friend's wedding.

Happy to finally be going away somewhere.

I know I'm the only one who feels good when a supplement works for the arthritis I deal with so here goes: Just found a great ointment for my arthritic right foot, whole right side of my body is a mess from hip replacement over 10 yrs ago, I know you don't care but I'm mentioning it. This great ointment is Badger Foot Balm and last night was the first night in a long long time, with no wake ups from foot pain..

So this feels Good.

One of my neighbors invited me over for Cantonese-style BBQ earlier today. It was great. :drool:

That's cool. Will you be driving or taking the train? I spent a good deal of time on Long Island between March of 2017 and March of 2019.

Friend of mine is driving me. He’s taking 3 of us up there and back.

This Past Friday was first time riding on the Metro STL Train in over 3-4 years

I was wracking my mind for a few days trying to remember the name of one of handsome movie stars and it came to me yesterday: Andy Garcia and Patrick Dempsey. A couple of hunks in Hollywood. I'm not hollywood starstruck and for a lot of years I had a thing for Gene Hackman.

Wife and I had an awesome weekend. A couple who we're friends with invited us over for the weekend, partly to celebrate the 4th, and also so we could see their new old house in person. (They are remodeling an 1892 Queen Anne). On the 4th we went with them to a neighbor's for barbecue.

My father and I smoked cigars outside today and had a nice chat. I loved the weather outside as it was moist and damp.

He gave me one of his more rare ones from his collection, a 2000/2001 CAO Odyssey. These were made in limited quantities in 2 batches, one in 2000 and the other in 2001. I'm hanging on to the band.

Im glad ya had fun Jimmy,what kinda cigs do ya like??

Im glad ya had fun Jimmy,what kinda cigs do ya like??

I don't smoke cigarettes (cigs), but I love cigars.


I usually go for:

Macanudo (Bourbon)
Partagas (Black)
Victor Sinclair (Connecticut)
Camacho (Connecticut)
BrickHouse
Graycliff
Drew Estate (ACID, Java)

There's a guy who sells out of his truck who travels around NY state around the summer so I try to go to him when I can. I love his Vanilla Cognac and Jack Daniel's infused cigars.


I don't care for fruit flavors like cherry, banana, mango...

I dont blame ya there.......... My neighbour likes Brickhouse,he says the flavour is probably the best.....

I tried on a Family Reunion(in which I'll be attending next month) shirt just yesterday and it fits

Wife and I had a blast on our road trip down the Oregon coast. We had originally planned on only staying at a hotel on our anniversary night, but ended up staying at a few more hotel/motels as our tent was giving us problems. I swear the one motel we spent the night at was right out of Vacancy...fortunately didn't find any weird video tapes.

Smoked one of my Cubans earlier today.

Friend of mine brought it back from Cuba back when Obama loosened the travel restrictions.

Yesterday was my friend's 41st wedding anniversary.

Went for a cup of coffee at a corner store this morning and they charge $0.75 for a small cup.

I gave the cashier $1.00 and he handed me a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin instead of a quarter. I didn't realize it until I got home - free coffee!!

For 3 weeks in a Row, I worked earlier on a Tuesday shift at my work station.

I went in the condo pool for a couple of days which was a nice break from the beach.

I decided to purchase a $10.00 scratch-off on a whim when I went to a corner store for a bottle of water - ticket won $50!!

Sunday my daughter and I went on a road trip to Poulsbo, Washington (across the bay from Seattle). Cool little town, went sight seeing, hiking, a little fishing. Got back last night (Wednesday)

Wife and daughter are out of town for a few days, so it's bachelor life for me, plus 2 dogs and a basement cat. Been lazy today, reading, and playing the video game No Man's Sky.

Just viewing the rally today in santa monica on our health freedoms being taken away. My grandkids were there....makes me feel good as many are "trying".

Well, I never thought it would come to this, eating watermelon chucks is bringing me a good feeling, fun. Talking to my 94 yr old friend and she says we gotta find fun, well I have right now.

I hop on the St Louis Metro Bus earlier this morning on my way to work because Call-A-Ride was a no show due to high capacity

A feel good happened yesterday when my 22 yr old grandson and his friend came to visit for a while and we talked and talked and he's so wise and into questioning everything and into alternative healing protocols. A chip off the old block, his mom too question it all.

I'm having two of my favorite meals for lunch and dinner today!

I splurged on a $30.00 scratch-off lotto ticket when I stopped by a local store. Ticket won $50.00

Not a big win, but it’s something.

I smoked a Habana Cohiba this morning and it was sooo smooth... :drool:

These were originally made for Fidel Castro himself and they would be given away as diplomatic gifts. They were made available to the public in 1982.

The U.S. version is made by General Cigar Company and uses tobacco from the Dominican Republic since no Cuban products can legally be sold in the U.S.

I got a new job babysitting my neighbors' three children.

Some of my Chinese neighbors gave me a tin of moon cakes.

Very popular around the Fall season.

My dad might be getting a new car today.

Stopped by the corner store for some things and decided to get a $10.00 scratch-off that won $40.00.

I seem to be picking the right tickets.

Had a steak dinner at a charity event w/ my father this evening that a local neighborhood organization ran.

The smell of the cigars w/ the steaks on the grill was amazing. :drool:

The older guy on my block who I do shopping favors for needed some things today.

In return, he gave me pack of Royal Passover cigars. I never heard of these and I found out they are exclusively available at the Royal Passover resort in Cancun.

One of my neighbors knows I smoke cigars and gave me a Cuban Cohiba.

I don't think he took care of it properly as it was very cracked and dry. I'm going to bring it to someone I know at a cigar store to see if he's able to salvage it w/ special cigar wrapper glue.

It took me a while, but I finally completed my U.S. State Quarter and Territory collection. I just needed the Northern Mariana Islands quarter and I got it in my change today.

(That's 50 State quarters and the 5 U.S. Territories + Capital D.C.)

My father gave me one of his Churchill Downs cigars. I believe these are sold exclusively at the Kentucky Derby.

I got my new phone, which is the iPhone 12!

I seem to get lucky on scratch-offs lately…

Went to a smoke shop that has lotto inside and spent $45.00 on cigars and used my $5.00 change (from $50 bill) to buy a $5.00 ticket. It won $50.00!

I love finding things when I go out. I passed by the same apt. complex where I found books out for recycling a few years ago today and came across another box of books. There weren't as many this time around.

I went to a nearby corner store for a bag and some sanitary wipes so I could wipe the books and my hands after going through them. These are what I found:

I put half towards public transit (MetroCard) and the other half went into savings.

Yard work is a great way to get a workout. Took care of a lot of leaves in my backyard.

Now I’m treating myself to a cigar and whiskey.

My dad gave me another one of his more rare cigars.

This is a Super Bowl Party 2004 commemorative edition. I might save it for a few more years until it ages to 20.

Wife and I had an awesome couple of weeks. We house/pet sat for some friends of ours who live in Seattle. Both the wife and I have friends and family that live up there so we were able to do some long time catching up.

I'm getting a belated Christmas gift later this week.

I was folding my clothes and there was a $10.00 bill in the pocket of one of my pajama pants.

It was probably change from a food delivery that I left in there.

Catching up with old friends and classmates from my life in PA, feels good. One guy who is a year older than me, handsome guy, got in touch today via email. I remember so much like it was yesterday and really over 60 yrs ago.

Yesterday I brought a new ONN cable at Florissant Walmart because it perfectly attaches to both my IPhone & my Apple phone plug

I'm taking my very first trip to Cooperstown, New York very soon.

Went to the dentist this morning and got a good report.

My cousin got engaged to her boyfriend on December 23rd.

I was able to resolve an issue yesterday with my desk top, frustrating for some time, but arrived at a simple fix. Feels good to fix something on my own. A little help from Verizon tech but we figured it out.

Found my W-2s and my H&R Block appointment has been set for this Monday the 7th

I'm getting my hair done later on this afternoon.

My sister’s getting married Saturday after next. This will be her third time walking down the aisle, but the third time’s always a charm!

Well, some just like to be married and keep trying to get it right. Once was enough for me. I got a good taste of what to expect........:wave:

Well, some just like to be married and keep trying to get it right. Once was enough for me. I got a good taste of what to expect........:wave:
She seems very happy with her soon-to-be-husband. Her first marriage lasted about five years, she and her first husband got married I think in August 1995, but unfortunately, he died in a car accident in April 2000, leaving her widowed. She later met my ex brother-in-law (who happened to be younger than her, by nine years, but age is just a number, I guess), and married him in November 2007, and the two were married for almost eight years until they divorced in February 2015, and now she’s getting married for a third time. I honestly haven’t seen her smiling this much since her first marriage.

I wish her luck,welcome back buddy!!

Thank you Dude

Yes ! You never know ! Hoping this one is the person she is meant to be with ! :)

I've been married twice ! First man I had two children with , he cheated on me and was abusive ! :(Thank God he was a good Father though at least and very much kept up with our boys and didn't skip out on child support , so I have been able to forgive the issues he and I had ! ;)

Second Husband is the man I am with now! He's very different from the first , mellow and mild mannered ! It's been a lot of years now and it's working out ! :)

Yeah, I’m hoping my future brother-in-law is the person she is meant to be with too. She first started dating him back in 2019 and they got engaged last year, so they’ve been together for about 3 years. But my mother says she’s gonna walk my sister down the aisle, since she has no one else to walk her down.

I’m so sorry that your first husband cheated on you, Bonniegirl. You seem like such a nice, sweet ol’ gal, I don’t know who in their right mind would ever cheat on someone like you. At least he still knew how to still be a good father to your kids and didn’t divorce them too. Sounds like your second husband is Mr. Right. And since the two of you have been married for some time now, I can assume things are going good between the two of you.

This is my sister’s marriage story:

I also really like their Mocha's.

I had to go to jury duty yesterday and was dismissed.

I had to go to jury duty yesterday and was dismissed.

I bet that was a relief.

I bet that was a relief.

Yep, it was. They don’t summon as many people to jury duty as they have pre-Covid. We all sat spaced out as opposed to filling every seat in the room. There were maybe 50 of us as opposed to a few 100.

I got called to an attempted murder case at a club in NYC and I was asked if I was a club goer. I said not as much lately but a decade ago I was a regular. I said I’ve been to that particular place a few times, but I don’t know anyone there on a first name basis.

That was enough for them to hear and I was excused.

The NY Lotto App has a system where you scan losing lottery tickets for drawings and free lotto tickets. I always scan them on my phone as I spot them when I go out.

Today it said I won a prize and it was a $50.00 gift card voucher that I can use at over 100 businesses like Best Buy, Kohl's, Staples, Sephora, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, GameStop, Restaurants... I choose how I want to use it and it has no expiration.

I just read On my Twitter feed that The MLB has lift their lockout

I found a $10.00 bill on the floor at Walgreens the other day.

I found 26 cents on Friday and then on Saturday I found 79 cents.

I got my new wifi adapter from canada today.. I had to direct connect to my modem to unrestrict it from the other mac......

I tell ya,its a difference between night and day!!!!!!

I am so happy to be back on my 98se :)



Im not used to this keyboard now after being on a mactop for so long!!

Recently got my blood work results back from my yearly physical and everything's normal. :)

Good Jimmy im so glad buddy!!

Today Marks 13 years since I joined Twitter as a user

I walked through a park today and saw an older man doing pull-ups on the monkey bars. I would have guessed he was in his 60s but I heard from his grandson that he was 93!

He didn't speak English so his grandson translated for him when I told him I was impressed. He said that he grew up in rural China and he was used to doing heavy work for most of his life. They didn't have work-out equipment or gyms like we do, he said, and he used to carry sandbags and water buckets for miles as exercise.

Also, working out on the fields provided a work-out as is.

Ahhhh that was sweet Jimmy :)

We got a new puppy on Friday evening. Depending on the moment (lost sleep, constant monitoring, etc.) this could also apply to the Complaint Department. :lol:

I might be getting a new pair of Apple AirPods for my birthday.

Happy birthday sweetie!

How old r ya gonna be this year?

I found a $50.00 American Express gift card I received a few years ago in my miscellaneous drawer.

It expired last year, so I called American Express and they will be sending me a new card.

Very hood buddy..... Im sorry it expired :(

Happy birthday sweetie!

How old r ya gonna be this year?

Thank you. 23.

Wow I remember when I first met ya :)

Yesterday I notice The Roku Stick actually work on my Vizio and I can still watch Cable on Roku now. I felt like it’s a start of the new era of watching TV now

Today is my 5th anniversary of joining Sitcoms Online!

I was waiting outside near the front door of a hotel for a friend of mine to come pick me up. I did not notice the woman nearby struggling to get her bicycle through the doorway. She speaks loudly so I hear, "Nice gentleman helping me to get inside."

The hotel receptionist then shouted from the desk, "You cannot bring your bike in here." I see her struggling more to get it back outside and I'm just side-eyeing her and grinning. 😏

Awesome weekend camping with my daughter. No electronic devices, just peace and quiet. Did a lot of hiking and enjoying nature. And just talked about fun stuff- everything from horror movies, to music, to books.

I felt so glad watching this on the subway last night. Two young black guys boarded the train and pulled out their blunts and got their lighters out.

Across from them was a middle-aged Rastafarian who shouted at them from his seat "RESPECT!" "*****s, put those away now! RESPECT! I smoke the weed too, but in MY home!" They both put them away.

People will think they can do whatever they want when nobody speak out. I shook his hand when I got off at my stop.

Good for you buddy :)

My Maine vacation is only a few weeks away.

I hope ya have fun MA!!

Thank you Dude111!!

Tomorrow is me and my wife's 25th. We're heading out early tomorrow morning to Astoria to stay at the Cannery Pier Hotel for a few nights.

Awesome!!!!

Is the Goonies house still there??

Awesome!!!!

Is the Goonies house still there??

Yes, and Data's house which is right next door. There's a self guided tour you can go on to all of the locations from the movie, including the main house from the Goonies and Data's house of course, plus the jail, the museum where the dad works, etc. We've been on it twice, once just the wife and I when we were still dating, and again when we took our daughter when she was much younger. And my daughter took her boyfriend a few years ago.
We still have the map. The time we took our daughter we had lunch at the bowling alley where we see Chunk squish his milk shake against the window at the beginning of the movie.

Tomorrow is me and my wife's 25th. We're heading out early tomorrow morning to Astoria to stay at the Cannery Pier Hotel for a few nights.

The wife and I had a blast celebrating our 25th anniversary. The hotel was pretty nice, then Friday we took a longer drive home and camped for 2 nights then came home Sunday night.

My wife, daughter and I are going to see the new horror film The Black Phone tonight at the theater.

Yes, and Data's house which is right next door.Wow thats awesome!!

I love watching the Goonies vacation!

They cry when they go there.......I understand why,everything is pure garbage now compared to then.......

MORE VIDEOS (Local media player needed for all these)

http://web.archive.org/web/20040619192626/http://www.thegoonies.org/data.wmv

In this video you can see Jonathan Ke Quan (Data) talking about how he saw the unreleased movie during audio looping and thought it was "the best". Even he likes the Goonies movie!

http://web.archive.org/web/20040619192626/http://www.thegoonies.org/mouth.wmv

During the shooting of Cyndi Lauper's video (The Goonies R Good Enough) you can see Cory Feldman bugging Richard Donner. This is a classic shot of what Richard had to put up with working with the kids. Remember the old motion picture saying: Never work with kids or animals!

I cry when I watch them!!

Our Maine vacation is just a week away!

Our Maine vacation is just a week away!

Good Luck!!!

Have fun MA :)

Good Luck!!!

Have fun MA :)

Thank you both! :)

Been working to connect with a fella I worked with in San Jose back in he 80's we stayed in touch for years and lost contact and just connected via email today, he's coming to LA in August on business and we will connect and do some eating and lots of talking...Feels good.

Im so happy :)

A neighbor gave me a 5-pack of Cuban Cohiba cigars.

Excellent buddy :)

A Little Philosophy and Psychology

The Longer I Live and Learn, the More and More I Do The Opposite of what
the Politicians and Doctors Tell Me What To Do...... There will be expections of course, but MOSTLY I follow my gut on the important stuff.

I noticed a man drop a $10.00 bill in front of me on the sidewalk so I picked it up and gave it back to him.

He told me to keep it for my kindness and I initially refused, but he insisted that I take it. He also gave me one of these "kindness coins".

Ah Jimmy im so happy buddy :)

Today was the first time I went to library since before COVID invaded 2 years ago

Makes me feel good hearing Fauci is retiring end of this year, 2+ yrs too late. But disappointed to hear he'll be getting $350K retirement benefits every year....this is hard to believe BUT so much is hard to believe ..

We are considering getting a Roku for my parents' bedroom.

Good news for a change, I finally was approved for a $20/month discount on my phone bill for internet service, the discount is thru the govt via the phone company. I worked on this for about 45 days. It was a challenge.

Roku? I don't know it, but that's OK, I have no technology in my bedroom, radio, lamp and battery run clock. That is my technology.

Very g00d!!

We went to Vermont yesterday to take a scenic trip and we're planning on doing it again in October.

Feeling good I guess to hear about some 50 Venezulean migrants being flow into Martha's Vineyard to take up residence, but I'm hearing they are not too happy about it all. OMG But so many in the world need to have a good live in the U.S., we need to take in more and more....

Earlier Today, I ate Culver’s for the 1st time for Lunch

Im glad ya liked it buddy!!

Tonight my daughter and I are going to the theater for the second time this week to see a horror film (last time was Pearl, tonight is Terrifier 2) EDITED: Noticed I had put Smile as the movie we had seen earlier in the week, it was Pearl, I had Smile on the brain because my daughter and I were debating between what we were going to see next Smile or Terrifier 2.

We went on our trip to Vermont this past weekend and managed to go to New York.

Good for you Dude, and the person you helped. This stuff doesn't happen and it's tragic, I think back to a person I helped a long while ago pay for his
groceries as he didn't have enough money. The money that is wasted on crap in our world is truly Pathetic.

I just sent a longtime friend a complimentary note on how good she has been to many in her life and she's now going thru a very difficult time with her heart at 85. Wish I could help her but the good words for her is what I can do ....

People NEED to help others more and if words are all they can offer, then do that.

It happens. Somebody paid my McDonald's Saturday morning. I need to remember to pay that forward.

Wow Stevie Im happy buddy!!

People NEED to help others more and if words are all they can offer, then do that. Ind33d it does but sadly not many of us out here :(

My cousin gave birth to another baby boy today.

A big Thanks in my life is connecting with one of my last cousins who has lived in Indianapolis all her life and we were not close due to the distance .. but we've been on the phone a lot and will continue, she is 79 and we are doing a lot of catching up......I've been contacting many old friends.

Good for you honey!!

Hulu is having a Black Friday sale and we were able to get a great deal of $1.99 a month for a year.

My cousin gave birth to another baby boy today.

Very sad :(

Dude, you just can't get off the doomed and horrible future for the U.S. Too sad ... we have good strong people and we will be fine. As I've said go to Haiti and live there...

MA, the streaming companies are so smart at getting people to subscribe and they make millions$$ on this $1.99/mo come on. And I forever hear how Disney is losing more and more money.

I could, but I don’t have the ability to.

My cousin gave birth to another baby boy today.

Very nice ! :) Congrats on the birth of your cousins baby boy ! :)

A feel good story. My friend has been driving her auto for about 3 yrs with a broken auto lock, she's had to use her key to unlock her car, I've done that all my years of owning a car...no bells and whistles girl.

She had gotten 2 estimates to fix it, one from dealer for about $800, another one from an auto s hop she knows of and it was $500 or so, and I gave her the name of a auto place I used for years and they quoted her $285....some differnecs I'd say...

She just called to thank me for the referral....good to help someone if possible.

Very nice ! :) Congrats on the birth of your cousins baby boy ! :)

Thank you! :)

Im sorry Ma :(

I've been fond of James Woods the actor for as long as I can remember and now even more so.

Im sorry Ma :(

What are you sorry about Dude111? :confused:

Alot of things :)

I dont wanna make ya mad.....

Dude, wish you could understand we don't make people feel this or that, it's their choices....

A friend of mine visited his family in Ecuador and brought me back a 5-pack Ecuadorian cigar box.

I know you don’t want to make me mad.

I collect Zippo lighters so I'm happy I got these.

These four are exclusive to the Marlboro Rewards promotion.

What are you sorry about Dude111? :confused:I just think your mad at me Ma because you usually ignore my PMs (Here and on CD)

If someone PMs you,you should reply :)

I recently felt ill and got a COVID test done yesterday at my doctor's office which came back negative.

I haven't done one in a while and they only had to swab the base of the nostrils. The technician told me that these newer tests don't require them to go all the way up like they used to.

Got a nice bump in social security benefits from the SS Admin. I'll take their money, let's keep it at home.

I got a new job!

I got a new job!

Congrats Mikaela! :wave:

What is the job?

Good for you Ma!!!!!

Finally Got Access to Freevee on Roku by creating a Amazon Account

When I came out of whole foods the other day I saw someone who was asking for $$$$$ to get something to eat....... I gave her $11 and a big hug.......

This world is horrible now.... I think we should all try to stick together and help each other..

Dude, I know where your heart is BUT I hear this over and over on our news that those begging are addicts and won't take funds from the groups that want to help them, they don't want to rehab and get back into society. TO hand them money feeds their addictions.:eek:

Wonder what she would have done had you handed her a sandwich, try that the next time.

Congrats Mikaela! :wave:

What is the job?

Good for you Ma!!!!!

Thank you!

I'll be working as a bagger at a supermarket.

If we work hard enough to fight the injustices, good can happen and does. Our city increased rents sky high in spite of the covid lockdowns and all the losses, and with all the work of those harmed, the rents have been reduced, mine to about $50 a month. This helps to reduce so much of the negatives going on.

I'm smiling from ear to ear, my food delivery fellow and I got talking and he and his fiance feel EXACTLY as I and my family do about all that we are going thru since early 2020...

He was so happy to meet someone who thinks and believes like he does and I couldn't be happier. Gotta keep hanging on and be faithful for the world.

This scene from the Wizard of Oz makes me smile, warms my heart :heart:

So cute (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG3mJcUzwaI)

Muchos Gracious Theda :)

I usually get my blood drawn beginning of every year and got my results back. Everything came out good.

My cholesterol levels were a little higher than they should be last time and now they’re within normal range.

Im glad things are ok Jimmy!

My friends know that I collect playing card decks and I got some in the mail today.

Those look nice buddy!!

Tomorrow I am super stoked about a book that is going to be released, and also tomorrow is Valentine's Day:heart::eyes::love:

Just heard a segment on one of my favorite programs on t he Hype of Valentine's day....and we all agree it was a fun time as kids and even some older kids to exchange V cards etc, but TODAY, it's a lot push for more profits for companys and putting guilt on people to celebrate this pretty useless day.....Treat people Good any day you can....

A nice thing I will do is call my friend as her birthday is today....she's 95 and hope she is still around. I don't see a lot of the old timers anymore.

Happy valentines everyone!!

Got some faith restored in humankind today with my grocery delivery...All items were in stock, and a few items the prices were cut and the Delivery (lady) was wonderful... I gave her a nice tip and that goes on top of the tip the company adds to the bill....

I've been having a horrible 3 weeks or so with the Gas Company and the fact they will not answer calls.....They are trying to break people down by higher gas utilities and not taking calls.

I think I have died and went to heaven.

I found online EVERY back issue of Vogue starting from the magazine very first issue from 1892.

Right now I am reading articles from the 1950s periodicals and enjoying the gorgeous gorgeous and GORGEOUS fashions (and hats) from this decade.


STUNNING!!!:bluesbros

Here is an example of the stunning outfits I was extolling about in my previous post. This is a Vogue magazine cover from March 1st, 1955. Check out this flawless ensemble. Amazing, huh?:)

Tara, good that you find these exciting and stunning, I don't find anything those ways....you are very interesting!!! An old soul????

Theda those are so beautiful :)

The Apricot Desert-Mallow is blooming in our local deserts (Borrego Springs). I want to drive out there and take tons of photographs of these stunning wild flowers. The orange coloring is so striking.

Theda those are so beautiful :)

I agree :wave:

Tara, good that you find these exciting and stunning, I don't find anything those ways....you are very interesting!!! An old soul????

I am an old soul but with a young spirit. I have always been attracted to things from the past, especially women's fashions and movies.

I am sagacious (old soul) to some degree but I am also naive/ immature (young spirit) as well. A total contradiction.

I'm an old soul as I'm an old person and would love to have so much of times gone back in our lives.... it's wild and so many depressed young people I hear about so much on my airwaves....so many talking about suicide....it's the fast fast tech world that's been created for the U.S. especially...

My very old kitchen stove is a classic relic and works wonderfully.....

Right now I'm making a decision on about 5 album photots of my life, I'm sentimental to a point but realistic...these photos are from my long life and family and friends don't want them .. I've already given my grandson a fistf ull of photos so he can know more about his gram.

I can only imagine the landfills with tons of photos. And landfills f ull of people's lives...

Todays "moderns" have their life photos in smartphones, I guess....

A friend of mine recently went to Atlantic City and brought me back a couple of cigars from a store down there.

Which one tastes better buddy??

Which one tastes better buddy??

Haven't had them yet, saving them for nicer weather. One is dark (Maduro) an the other is more mild.

First sign of Spring hit my life last night, when I did not have to pull my sheet up over my face to keep my face and head warm, didn't do that last ngiht and it hit me, Spring is coming and first day this yr is March 20, and can't come soon enough, this year has been our coldest in So CA in yrs that we can remember.

I don't like heat on during the night, gets too hot in my little apt, and the gas co has made a hugh price gouging in the last 2 months. For those who use more heating, I'm hearing whopper gas bills.

Earlier I stepped outside to observe the heavens. It was so cool to see Jupiter and Venus in close proximity to each other in the WSW sky.


If astronomy is an interest of yours, mark March 2nd on your calendars when Jupiter and Venus are really close to each other, almost forming into a single planet.

I know, I am looking forward to this event:)

The skys and astronomy are fasicinating and if I could walk as I did in my life before hip replacement, I'd be looking at the skys....

Just an FYI, the Senior Groups I'm on was back up this morning...amazing...I guess.

Our local mountains are covered in snow, so pretty!

On the snow and local mountains, rescue workers are helping those snowed in and needing food....

Today I spent the morning browsing through the back issues of Vogue magazine from the 1960s (online). I had so much fun:snoopy:

I found (online) back issues of Sears Catalogs from the 1940s-1970s, and I am completely dorking out on the old clothing/fashions. I absolutely love it:)

I grew up with the Sears catalog in our home.,,and the great landmark store in Santa Monica that was shut down for progress, a light rail for more LA people to get to the beach, I hear the light rail is loaded with homeless....

Tara, did you not grow up with Sears? Maybe you are really younger than I imagine. Sears had EVERYTHING and good prices.... Tremendous LOSS

I got my second eye done (cataract). So happy! It's amazing how clear the vision is. Now I want new glasses.

I got my second eye done (cataract). So happy! It's amazing how clear the vision is. Now I want new glasses.

That is one surgery that comes out pretty well, but there are failures and problems, I know 2 people w ho have had issues post surgery. I never have done them, my antioxidants (grape seed extract etc) have kept my eyes good.

Glad you are good with the cat surgery.

My daughter had the misfortune at age 10 to be hit in the eye, neighbor bad boy, and had to have "cat" surgery at 18, they had to wait to her to be 18 to do the surgery. It's been good for her..but what a trauma when it happened..

Im glad things went ok Ponytail :)

Thanks! I started getting cataracts in my 40's. Eye Dr. asked if I was given steroids early in my life. I said yes. He said that is why I developed cataracts at a early age.

Oh those Steroids, I've heard it said they are the best and worst drugs. I may have had an injection in my knee at one point, but not sure. Otherwise I escaped them.....

I won 16 levels tonight, advancing to level 6100 in Cookie Jam.

Your input escapes me, ???:confused:

Just had a grocery delivery and the fellow was very helpful and a delight..I make a little conversation with these people if I "feel it" and I asked him where he is from and he said "upstate NY"... I said you are so nice your parents did a good job, he said "you too"...


Dude, maybe you'll see this from an upstate NYer.

Ah thats sweet Carole....... Im glad he was nice to you........

Ah thats sweet Carole....... Im glad he was nice to you........

The Majority since I've been doing home grocery deolivers (6 yrs) have been great, all thru covid and their stress levels, and throw in 6-8 grumps so that's not bad at all.

Hallelujah, the maintenance man who has been working on this apt bldg for over 30 yrs just stopped in and he noticed I had Dr. Mercola's stuff on my table and he knows the insides and out of what we have been going thru and still are. He's a smart 60 yr man and followed no mandates etc etc....He is from Europe and knows all that part of world too and what has been planned.

Good to hear Larry Elder has jumped into the 2024 presidential fray...the 2 latest: Larry (R) and RFK Jr (D). We need rescued to save the U.S.

Just had a grocery delivery from a dear dear fellow...so interesting as we talked about his life a bit and he asked about my life some..he reminded me of a 20 yr old Harry Belafonte, .he put my frozen foods in freezer and other stuff where they belong.

I hope some others have some good things to report.

So good that there are organizations that Fight the powers of the powerful to help keep mandates of vaccines etc. from the children....Weston Price Foundation just sent thru a message on their battle with the HPV and CA children....Price is a great organization.

Total shocking

This is strange, I posted this but it has not appeared.

Yesterday a knock at my door gave me a huge suprise...a felllow I used to work with over 40 yrs ago, I didn't recognize him and then he started to talk about others we worked with and it was ok. He really aged and is 83, I invited him in and we talked for 30 mintues or so about the OLD Days...

He was waiting for his wife at her doc's appt.

He enjoys looking for people in his life and I do too. He found me.

Im so glad Carole :)

Today I bought a book that I have been looking forward to reading for months :) A novel about Arabella Huntington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabella_Huntington)


Then this afternoon, I spent an hour reading outside on the patio, one of my all-time- favorite activities (reading, while soaking up some glorious sunshine)


Life is good:D

My great wonderful neighbor Rich just left as he brought me a couple WF's things, did some banking for me, took out trash and we spent 15 minutes or so venting about the state of affairs...his dad is 89 and still does ocean water boarding....the dad is amazing and keeps going. Thank you thank you for him in my life....I help him with some things too on health stuff....

The day here is gorgous with SUN and WARMTH,,,,
