I bought them for my niece and nephew
Maybe you should hoard some red vines MsMadge? The brownies and blue birds could weave a potholder once they become petrified.
Aren't P E Z. the ones that came in a little plastic dispenser?
Has anyone tried the baked cheetos?
Doritos had a new chip hear for a while Heatwave BBQ. I started buying them, and now they don;t sell them.
I like the savory more than the sweets. I still like sweets dont get me wrong, hershey kisses with almonds, heath bars, and chico sticks, are a big weakness, I definitely try not to keep those around.
My Mom had an old Singer sewing machine I wish we had hung on to. Hell, I'm starting to feel antique myself. Maybe I'll try and sell my face on E Bay one of these days.
I bought a loaf of bread for my peanutbutter snacking. Yesterday, I bought salami. And as I was sitting here, a thought popped up that I can have tomorrow for breakfast a toasted sandwich with salami and over-medium egg! I will just have to cook the egg tonight, put it in the fridge, and just micro it tomorrow morning! Yes!!! Oh, man... If only I have fresh avocado, it would go great with it....

My Utopian society would find something useful for everyone to do regardless of age and ability. I can remember when I was little the ladies at the nursing home could take an active role in the kitchen peeling potatoes or nibbing strawberries (I'm not sure about the gents). In traditional societies the old women watch the kids while the younger women do the heavy work. Today we just don't have any place for those who can't put in a full day at work or meet 100% of the requirements listed in a job description.
She did make sure to tell her she could only have one though
Everyone is having such a difficult time, and there were no words.
I have been spending a lot of time praying lately.
Today, it was dedicated to hubs and his needs for follow-up at the doctor and an ultrasound two hours later, so we stayed out there. I waited in several parking lots in the rain for him after going in with him once. We enjoyed a healthy lunch out together.
In keeping with my changing my attitude, I smiled a lot, at nothing. But, I smiled.
It makes me feel better, and people are treating me better!
At first, I thought my face was going to crack, but it comes easier now.
So, it must be a challenge for you to practice smiling. Did people smile back? It always feels good when they do.
People do not always smile back. For some cultures, it is almost like a rule not to smile.
Smiling for my own health and happiness, it doesn't really matter if they smile back.
And yes, when they do smile back, it feels good. My smile muscles are working better now.
One thing I have noticed and so has my desk-mate [who was born and raised in India] is that if either of us escort a visitor to where they need to go, we always get a warm thank you from different cultures.... plus she gets thanks you from her own culture... except we find from the white Americans not so much [which is my culture], unless they are elderly. We find that very interesting.
Smile tho' your heart is aching
Smile even tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
Thro' your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shin-ing thro' for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide ev-'ry trace of sadness
Altho' a tear may be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth-while
If you just smile....

I think I have what is known as "resting b***h face" :) Look it up on Google. There really is such a thing.
Presumptuous of the skytrain employees! Out of bounds, imo. There is nothing wrong with resting faces....what were they always watching you, stalking you? Sheesh.
Or, putting you down was a far out "pick up line?"
I thought the unit would be self-balancing...like a self-driving car!
Great for your nephews, but for a senior, another way to fall going at a faster rate.
The things people can invent are amazing!
How'd I do?
