A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
He would be embarrassed if I pointed out his qualities to others. I feel incredibly lucky to have met him so many years ago.
When we were in school, he was a bartender and I was a waitress.
I’m so glad that I ordered a drink from him. Our friends teased us about the ‘love at first sight’ thing. He asked me out about five minutes after I ordered a drink from him.
Neither of us were even looking to get involved with anyone at that point in time. I suppose that some things are just meant to be,
Not only do retailers not carry everything that we are seeking to purchase, so many brick and mortar shops have shut down. They were in financial trouble long before covid started.
Covid may have been the last nail in the coffin for them but eventually they would have had to close their doors to the public.
He doesn’t toot his own horn. He was never the ‘life of the party’ type. He’s actually very quiet. He’s always been a ‘behind the scenes’ kind of guy.
Somehow, this young ‘free spirit’ kind of gal, (Me!) became captivated by this serious minded engineer. He grounded me in so many ways. We have been together for over 40 years!
He is a leader in his field and treats everyone who works on his engineering team with great respect.
His company is having their end of year gratitude event for their employees. My sweet hubby is going to receive three awards for inventing tech products and receiving patents.
We are all very used to living with our modern conveniences. A lot of hard work goes into designing and developing these products.
I agree . It depends on what I’m buying too. I also don’t go to stores Black Friday weekend .
I like both online shopping and store shopping. It depends on what I am buying. Online shopping is very convenient!
I love finding things on sale but I don’t do the Black Friday shopping. It’s too crowded and is crazy. Those things remain on sale after Black Friday ends. Plus, there is cyber Monday.
I know . Online shopping is so convenient though . Plus some things aren’t even in the stores .
If they are late, Christmas will just last a little longer! That’s what I tell my daughters when their gifts to me don’t arrive on time.
It’s nice when packages arrive on schedule but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way.
I second your kudos to the administration for doing their job!
The only thing that would improve the situation even more is if we had a block feature on private messaging. 😃
A block feature would come in handy at times!
Thanks. I do. It was fun to play cards with my family. Anytime I went on vacation I would bring back a fun deck of cards for them. That and coffee mugs because mom always had coffee made for us.
I love your list! All my favorites too!
Well, my parents are deceased but I did play cards with my mom and dad.
Don’t have a convertible but I like them!

The sound of my children's laughter
A good dinner and wine shared with friends

Having a clean house
Interesting and engaging conversation
Beautiful music

Knowing the truth when someone else has guessed wrong. It can keep misinformation from spreading.
You have mentioned this twice, and I am wondering what I have missed that the admins deleted? I like that they catch something quickly.
Can you PM me?
I should not be so curious.
Did you report the post, or the admins found it?
I will survive if you don't tell me.
Many times when I am up from 3:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., I see some amazing stuff, but then it is gone later.
Yes, Kudos to the Admins.
My dH and I worked so hard putting up Christmas lights yesterday, we took Aleve and slept through everything.
The lights look good, and our driveway is no longer so dark.

Karen Savage reading Jane Austen's Persuasion on Librivox (free).
I am enthralled all over again.
Now I want to find the movie version with Ciaran Hinds, again.
The reflected crescents filtered onto the wall.
I have always been captivated by eclipses, whether they are solar or lunar.
The eclipse was amazingly filtered through the tall trees and projected onto the wall of the house next door, lasting only one + 1/2 hour. The morning light dimmed a bit, but was darker at about two neighboring houses.
The visual was in varying degrees, and was seen as many little crescents of light, on the wall, the street, and a fence. Then, gone, it was full sun after that.
It was obviously meant for only me to see, Lol. But my dH is a witness. 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙
Just me, okay then.
To explain,
The Black Eyed Peas Band who performed
Where is the Love
has red question marks on their video. ❓
I do like the message.
Roberta Flack sang
Where is the Love

A whole different song.
Thinking I might need to explain myself more and more as I age, and leave you younger ones in the rear view mirror. ha ha, lol.
How are we all doing tonight?
