Went thru that with my dad. But he had Alzheimer’s and could never figure out how to get home. It’s definitely not an easy thing to do. Especially if they are still really independent. An (90+) elder’s son had to finally take the car and keys. They would tell them they couldn’t go to other towns to shop. Next thing one of the friends would see them in the store. What I sometimes think about and makes me chuckle is this is the same elder who always said: “If you’re driving and swat a fly, get into an accident and kill someone you are bloodguilty.” Apparently, that thought wasn’t for a 90+ individual. 🤣🤣 This can be very scary.

Actually I went to our search engine to see what I could find. I found a couple Booker Miller in TX but not Houston I found 2 Bob Beam, in Yucca Valley, CA. One is 85, & one is 106

Our Memorial is at 8:30.

I finally had it with the ongoing awful back pain I’ve been dealing with…. for years. I always blamed it on my scoliosis. But the past few years shoveling snow has been getting harder (very painful lower back). So I finally saw my doctor about it yesterday (the 10 th). Took X-rays and got the diagnosis last night. Keeping family tradition, (Dad had rheumatoid arthritis) I have a form of arthritis in my spine. Or as they call it: “Facet Arthropathy”. Haven’t heard from the doc yet, so I’m wondering what his plan will be. I am not looking forward to any injections in my back if that’s what he plans. 🥺 One of the explanations was: “Multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, including moderate disc height loss at L5-S1, mild disc height loss at L3-L4 and facet arthropathy throughout the lumbar spine.” I think this also answers my question as to the reason my neck snaps, crackles and pops at times.

As of Friday, the town where I live, the Circle K is still $2.99. But the one about 45 Mike’s away was $3.09.

Imagine what we can learn about those tiny creatures in Paradise. We’ll have all the time we need for that. And yes, I am gonna enjoy that too. And finding something to comment on is much easier too.

I was on keto for a year and a half some time ago. All numbers were great. Then unfortunately I stopped. I don’t remember why. For all I know it could been financial reasons. 🤷‍♀️ Good food costs more than my budget allows

For the past week or so we,ve been under either a winter storm warning or advisory. Our storm warning changed to an advisory till 7 am this morning and now has been extended till 7 pm tonight 😬😬 I only did the back path this morning and will have to do the driveway a little later. O well, with the kind of weather they’re having down south I really shouldn’t grumble. But the path’s banks are so high from throwing snow, I have to heave it over or have to pick it up a second time 😡. The first time is bad enough. is bad enough. 😤. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Here in the U P of Michigan the Circle K (used to be Holiday) gas prices have been $2.99 since late last year. I think I heard one of the friends say they dropped to that price after the election.

I don’t drink either. I just thought this subject was funny because I think 2 months ago I bought a bottle of wine. Had a small glass and it’s still practically full in the fridge. I’d rather have flavored sparkling water 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Many years ago I had dinner at a steak restaurant with a couple state trooper friends (well, the wife was anyway 🤣) then we went into the bar and since I had a 60 mile trip home (winter time no less) naturally I had what they call a “virgin” strawberry daiquiri. Karen made the order and then in a few minutes raced back up to the bar and to make sure there was no alcohol put in it. Her husband on the other hand…didn’t drive home. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Far too many 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

I understand purple too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just started drinking coffee ☕️ a month or so ago. But I add Hot chocolate powder as I still can’t drink it straight. Anyway, for years I drank soda/pop, (Mountain Dew) Drank 2, 20 oz bottles a day. Just to keep up with the stress of my job. Anyway I decided to stop drinking it/any soda years ago, especially because of the sugar and high fructose corn syrup. I had no problems with headaches or anything like that from quitting caffeine cold turkey—as they say.
