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?
Happy Birthday NHWM!
🧁️🍦🍧🎂
What kind of ice cream is your favorite?
I had mentioned to another poster that I was also an October baby. So I guess people thought it was my birthday.
Send, I love mocha ice cream. I like all flavors though. I adore gelato!
Try celebrating your Birthday month, all month long is fun.
Treat yourself nice!
As caregivers, and former caregivers, we may need to find new ways to celebrate just about anything.
Maybe we should reinstate sending home made cards and letters in the snail-mail? That was always fun to receive in the mailbox.
I have kept so many cards, and even hand-written letters from my parents, so many years ago.
(Is it your birthday month Send or are you just celebrating for someone else?)
I am celebrating Canada Day, however, any reason will do!
Happy Canada Day , CWillie! 🇨🇦
Isn't it about the time of year when the migratory birds gather en masse'?
And, celebrating my elder's October birthday, because he is no longer alive to celebrate. 🎂
As for calories, and the huge expense, this is a justified investment.
imo. Only Haagen Dazs will do when it is a celebration! imo.
Canada Day is July 12, I think.
Happy Thanksgiving Day to all our Canadian friends! 🦃
I have no pumpkin pie, or pumpkin ice cream either. (Is that a thing? If not I think it should be).

In the U.S. pumpkin at Thanksgiving (in November) is really a thing. It gets embarrassing, and if you indulge, you may feel like swearing off pumpkin forever.
Pumpkin Spiced Latte is only one thing that becomes popular.
Pumpkin whipped cream, and not just desserts!
Pumpkin Beer
Nothing says fall quite like pumpkins and beer, and American craft breweries have done a superb job of combining the two. It’s tough to find anything that hasn’t been “pumpkin spiced,” and beers are no different. Pumpkin flavored beers have caught the attention of craft beer and pumpkin lovers everywhere, partially because the flavors can be implemented in several beer styles. Whether you’re interested in trying pumpkin amber ales, IPAs or pumpkin stouts, there are plenty of options from American craft brewers for you to explore.
What day and date is Thanksgiving in the U.S., Glad?
Last Thursday of November. 26th this year. Any smart comebacks?
I have heard that one can eat decorative gourds.
Gourds are among the oldest cultivated plants. They were the early water bottles of the Egyptians, and have been used for utensils, storage containers, and dippers for centuries.
Botanically speaking, there’s really no difference between gourds, squash, and pumpkins. They all belong to the family Cucurbitaceae.
You have one in your garden, Cwillie?
Thanksiving in the U.S. is so very far away!
I will be sick of pumpkins by then Glad!

and, pumpkin people!
People who are out of their gourds! Lol.
What I don't love is store bought pumpkin pie, and besides I do. not. need. a. whole. pie. 🥧🤤
I like to make pumpkin bread. I have to share with my neighbor though because we don’t eat enough to consume it all. It would get thrown in the trash if I didn’t share.
I am wondering if I could freeze it. Have never tried it. My neighbor loves my pumpkin bread so I always give half of the loaf to her.
I have always wanted to try pumpkin pancakes for a weekend morning. I have looked at some recipes for them.
(And sure you can freeze pumpkin bread NHWM!)
I could freeze the soup if my freezer was not so full of Haagen Dazs.
I have eclectic taste. I really do. I like diversity. I have a few exceptions. Two come to mind that I am an extreme purist about, coffee and cheesecake!
I detest sickeningly sweet coffee. I don’t put any sugar or flavoring in my coffee. I like the taste of coffee and don’t like the distraction of other flavors in it.
My best friend claims these things enhance the flavor. Obviously, we agreed to disagree and love having coffee together but we have opposite taste!
As for cheesecake, well the same for bagels, New York has the best! In my opinion traditional New York cheesecake cannot be improved on.
I don’t like flavored bagels either! Give me plain bagels with a touch of cream cheese and maybe a drizzle of honey.
Thanks, cwille. I am one of those people who loves it warm right out of the oven! Yum!
I have never tried pumpkin soup. Have to try it. Lots of things to do with pumpkin! They are pretty as decoration and I love creative pumpkin carvings! I have seen them painted with cool designs too!
Example:
movie Moonstruck scene I'm confused
Thanks Alva! Very funny that.
The real answer to the girlfriend who's future Mil prevents her son from marrying.
Apple butter.
Waffles.
And a thick tender steak.
Not all at once.
In 1969, Credence Clearwater Revival sang these words-sounds just like what is happening now!
Bad Moon Rising
Creedence Clearwater Revival
I see the bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise, all right
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't come around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise.
