Adorable video! Thanks for sharing.
My mom’s home health physical therapist had my mom catching a ball. She was hesitant due to balance issues but was able to do it.
Honestly, I think my mom had a bit of a crush on him 😊. He was a good looking young man who sort of looked like my handsome father when he was young.
She loved this physical therapist because he would play Frank Sinatra songs for her to work out to.
Mom also had a thing for the handsome fireman who came to the house when she fell. She may have been declining in her elder years but she surely could spot a good looking man! LOL 😆
Cw, I love that video.
I hear ya! I love honesty. It’s funny how some people are brutally honest, right? Others are very diplomatic but we know what they are thinking inside! 😆
I have a few friends that are extremely glad that they are single. One of my dear friends was engaged to a guy that we all thought she would marry. He ended the relationship and she was crushed.
After she healed from being hurt, she would tell me that she loved being single, being able to come and go as she pleases, not having to cook and clean for anyone, travel whenever and wherever she wanted and so on.
She truly doesn’t regret not getting married.

here, snow everywhere. but i have to say: it's realllly pretty. i love it! super white. it'll continue until april, maybe even may! in april, people here joke that, "it may seem like april, but it's actually the 106th of january."
today there's so much snow outside my window, that i wouldn't be surprised if penguins show up. maybe we can have a cup of tea, and cookies, together. ❤️
i train a lot outdoors. i love the crisp air, the trees covered in snow. 🙂

Can you imagine travelling to Europe, with your band, with the intent to play at different venues, bars, whatever and not having an itinerary?
So they can all just sit on a wire brush and rotate for all I care. (just kidding) or am I? Dun dun dunnnnn!!!!
I love that! “Sit down on a wire brush and rotate!” Hey, you still have your sense of humor. That made me giggle!
Don’t we all know a few people that we would like to see them rotate on a wire brush? LOL 😆 We should start a list, just for fun!
Here’s my start,
Obnoxious relatives
Old bosses
Mean teachers (I hated my sixth grade teacher!) LOL 😝
Crappy neighbors
Okay, your turn, Gershun.
But you guys go ahead if you like. Fill your boots as they say. Actually rotating on a wire brush is too good for the people I'm thinking of.
Just saying...............;)
I am still giggling. That was too funny! Do you have any other torture techniques up your sleeve? LOL 😂
NO! Stop it Gershun, you are not a violent person!
Oh, we need to add school bullies to the list!

I told him to do the same prep that I did. I opted for drinking the small portion instead of drinking tons of the other stuff.
Anyway, he wanted to do the same thing that I did. Turns out the stuff that I took for prep has been taken off the market. I have no idea why they removed it.
I loved doing the home test but when they detected blood I had to do the colonoscopy. It ended up being a polyp.
We both have colon cancer in our families.
The test itself is nothing. It’s the prep that’s uncomfortable.
