Have either of you heard from Lisa?? Is she OK? Did she just get tired of the forum? I think about her often.
Me too.
The last to hear from her was Glam. I wish she would stop by. If nothing else just to say hi.
I am bowing out early tonight. Got up early and been busy all day...and the old bones are weary. Going to get ready for bed. Our kitty goes in for his surgery tomorrow morning, and I do not want to listen to him hollering for food, so I am going to put the covers over my head. 
See you tomorrow, Tink and jj.....and VG, if you decide to stop by your thread.
And Pepper, if you are not passed out in a food stupor.
Good night.

Night Glam ................ sleep tight
And sorry Tink but I was thinking about heading out too so into lurk mode I go.
Night Tink, VG (we miss you), and all beach peeps.

I think about her too....I miss her. But no, not heard from her since I called her. She said she would stop in and explain her family crisis involving her FIL, but I do not think she ever did.
OK....jammie time!!
Night Glam I know you have had a busy day. I didn't know kitty's surgery is tomorrow 
Poor little booger

Night JJ I hope you rest well. I know you have a lot to deal with right now.

OMG.....I am licking my computer screen....extra onion always helps. The only other thing I would want on there would be some hot pepperoncinis.
I do change it up. One of my favorites has fried onions, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and mushrooms.
Hi, jj, hi, Sun. Night, Dale......hope you sleep well.
Dale and I were going to cut the Tink creation in half, Sun, but we can cut it into thirds. We are more than happy to share!
jj.....I will be happy for you when this is all done, and you can have your life back. Seems like lots of frustration from quite a few angles.
I'm guessing Pepper is hitting the Rolaids about now.
Nope, I forgot to say I wouldn't be around tonight because of Monday Night Football.
Sun.....you know most men just do a halfass job of cleaning.....that is where the term "lick and a promise" came from. That is their term for cleaning.
Oh, that's what it means. I always thought it meant... never mind.
I wouldn't mind cleaning as much, if I thought it might stay decent for more than a couple of days
And, yes, I know just what you mean. My hubs has never cleaned one of our bathroomsOr dusted
Ummm, isn't that why men get married?
A man with a mop? Does not compute....searching data banks....no such thing exists.
yeah, whatever.
lol.

thanks for thinking about me. I think.
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days." The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."
She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truly recycled. But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks.
This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribbling's. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But too bad we didn't do the green thing back then.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was
right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn't have the
green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that
operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of
buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a
computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-... young person.

Good Morning - time to rise and shine!

You may want to take off the video, and just put the link. Censors might ding you because of the language
