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?
I remember when we all would be staying up much later and posting.
Now it is just waking up at all hours of the night and I do better shutting off
the computer early. A self-discipline so I can get more done earlier in the day.
I am happy to still be able to make changes that will improve my life.
I do miss the late night posters.
Hugs to you too Gershun! 🧸️🧸️🧸️
Wonder who is staying up late at night now....
You are appreciated, my late night friend.
Knowing that one is in heaven now is comforting.
If I had only known the last time would be the last time
I would've put off all the things I had to do
I would've stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter
Now what I'd give for one more day with you
'Cause there's a wound here in my heart where something's missing
And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time
But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now
I know the road you walked was anything but easy
You picked up your share of scars along the way
Oh, but now you're standing in the sun, you've fought your fight and your race is run
The pain is all a million miles away
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven, yeah, are on the hands that hold you now
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, for the hands that hold you now
There's not a day goes by that I don't see you
You live on in all the better parts of me
Until I'm standing with you in the sun, I'll fight this fight and this race I'll run
Until I finally see what you can see, oh-oh
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now.
Song by Casting Crowns
"Go without your favorite thing for 3 days. Then go without sleep for 3 days. Turns out your favorite thing is actually sleep."
"My three favorite things are eating my family and not using commas."
Someone has been training it, feeding it.
I grabbed a few pistachios and it came back. Not exactly peanuts!
Reminds me of Ratatouille we fed for a year, and he left. We decided to stop feeding the squirrels because of possible fleas. It's been about 2 years.
Dh was out all day, comes home, picks up the nuts without saying a word.
I know that if he did not live here, I would be happy as the squirrel lady. But only one tree squirrel, no ground squirrel rats. I would never be lonely.
However, it is best to not have wild animals at your door.
And premium factory made ones like Walker's are just as good as home made (sometimes better).
i dislike it a little too much. (and the fact that i dislike it makes me happy, so it still counts as 1 of my favorite things).
i like it a little too much.
It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that
You think you're lost
But you're not lost on your own
You're not alone
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
If you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
Sharing time with loved ones.
No more triple digit temps for months! Woohoo!
Going from one room to another, some clocks have not been set back yet.
Some clocks have automatically set themselves back (The computer).
The phone had to be reset by calling ourselves.
My watch was way out of sync with the current time. In fact, the battery was dead and I had not noticed.
The clock in the car should be okay now, since we never changed the time last March. Not a problem because the sun was so bright, I could never read it anyway.
I am hoping that's all the clocks that need to be reset, just so there is no alarms going off at the wrong time, and no confusion.
A evening of a Hot oil bubble bath by bees wax candle light, glass of semi dry red blend wine, can't put down paper back book with soft easy listening music in the background as I "relax my worries away".
Favorite movie line:
Tremors, Burt Gummer "I'm not paranoid I'm just prepared!"
I am going to hold the line on common sense. If someone says nonsensical things, I can ignore them.
Looking for still beautiful thoughts, words, and actions. Ways to show others that we still care.
But I had to look up a loonie or a toonie, in Canada!
So sorry, ignorant here.
All I knew about were Loonie Tunes.
"Toonie" is a portmanteau word combining the number "two" with the name of the loonie, Canada's one-dollar coin. Two loonies would be equivalent to one "toonie", hence the name. It is occasionally spelled "twonie" or "twoonie", but Canadian newspapers and the Royal Canadian Mint use the "toonie" spelling.
In America all we have are Looney Tunes. Lol.
Looney Tunes Cartoons is an American animated television series developed by Peter Browngardt and produced by Warner Bros. Animation, based on the characters from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.[2] The series made its worldwide debut at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on June 10, 2019,[3] and premiered on HBO Max on May 27, 2020. Characters are Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Tweety bird, Yosemite Sam, Tom & Jerry, etc. Oh, and there is Porky Pig who stuttered, "TTTHAT'S all FFFFOLKS!
Oh my, cannot believe I said that....
But when I was looking after my g-niece and g-nephew I was remembering all kinds of things I had forgotten... like birthday spanks, one for each year. Plus a pinch to grow an inch 😆
I imagine the face value of any silver dollar coin these days is much less in value than the actual coin.
That brings me to those teeth, saved all these years.
What to do when hard-pressed to clear out one's possessions, even the sentimental ones. And of course, who wants to be identified as the tooth fairy?
My husband said, save the teeth, for the DNA.
My mind just cannot go there!
I should have saved (buy them back) the coins. ha ha.
When one spouse (like a husband goes golfing), the wife spends an equal amount of the budget on herself.
The have's and have nots.
The husband and the wife.
Happening here too.
It should not be that way.
Even though everything is never equal, wives should not be going without, acting like martyrs, and misrepresenting Christ as if Christ does not provide for
Christian wives, as well as husbands.
Dress like Jesus really loves you!
I am telling you this now, because we did not have social media back then.
I always thought that would be so fun.
It's neat that your Mother did that cwillie~
