 During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?" "Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.""No" he said. "A normal Read more [...]

UGH!  Turned my desktop on for a couple of minutes yesterday to check on any notices regarding a very sick Aunt.  Storm hit, 5 or 6 flashes of electricity off...and computer won't even turn on. Nothing.  Electricity came back on but not my computer.  Does anyone know of anything we can check before taking it to the repair shop?  And we still don't know about our Aunt.  I should have waited......

      1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.     2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.     3. Read more [...]

So what would you name a baby if you were having one today?  I know, I’m crazy!(Heaven help it if such a thing would happen around here.  I’d probably lay it down and forget where I put it)!  I saw the name Calianne for a girl and thought how pretty it sounds to me.  So that’s what I’d name a girl at the moment.  How about you?

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. 'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'  'Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her.  'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.  'YES!' stated the waitress.  'I'll Read more [...]

DW decided to buy a soda stream.  It works just like they say it does.  We have even mixed flavors to come up with new flavors.  Grapefruit cola for one.  You can adjust the amount of fizz in it too.  The problem is with the cost.  They say it's cheaper, it's not.  The cost of the syrup here is about 41 cents.  They don't mention the cost of the CO2.  Add that cost and it come out to $1.83 Read more [...]

DW and I were shopping and ran into those pans you see on TV.  She bought both a green one and a blue one.  Of the two I like the blue one better.  Both are non-stick, but the green one has a metal handle.  I just can't wrap my head around a metal handle pan that is safe to use.  I'm always reaching for a pot holder to move the pan.  Blue one doesn't seem to be as sticky.  How to tell the diffrence Read more [...]

It's been crazy here.  My Mom, who is in a nursing home but doing pretty well at this point, has been having an issue with her eyes.  She has had cataract surgery in both eyes.  The first surgeon dropped the cataract in her left eye during surgery which resulted in a retina surgeon having to perform more surgery to clean up that mess. That left her with macular degeneration and glaucoma in that Read more [...]

This is my adopted mom Vera! (First put down your drink.) 1. King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites.. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it." "But I paid a million Read more [...]
