Interesting question............... for us oldtimers

Image
 Listening to the radio this morning a discussion came up about making friends when we are in retirement age. Like, real friends, not just mutual interest friends or close aquaintances. The kind of friends you make when you are younger and become life-long friends. Or the kind of friends you make as parents when you make friends of your kid's parents.  The argument went that once the kids have grown the friends you already have are enough, it is either hard to make new friends or the interest in making new ones just isn't there any more. Made me reflect on my own life, and have to admit, my closest friends are ones that I have known for many years or from my younger years.  I have made some new friends, but not what you would call "close" friends. More like buddies.  BTW, I am not talking about romance, there are a lot of happy couples who met later in life, but am talking about friendships that are friendships. Even if your lover that you met later in life you refer

You get to pick 3...

Image
Some of the future is already here, but of all the Star Trek devices and gadgets, what would you like to have for yourself (or for humankind)?: I know, I know... hard to pick.  They are all so great!  Some are not even listed here.  List your favorite three, and say why, if it's not already obvious.

Yep, We’re Old.

Image
  Way back in the mists of time, we would laugh or make fun of what the old farts did or said.  Now, many of us are the old farts, and we are doing the same things. For one, Bunny now makes the grunts or other sounds when sitting down or getting up. What old fart things are you now doing? J.P. Bunny

Bad Habits Under Control

Image
  Bunny has never been able to abide any corners on the fingernails, or having them protrude past the top of the fingers.  Way back when, if noticed it at work or on the train, impossible to ignore. Bite, rip, whatever to smooth it out.  Nasty bloody fingers.  Have learned to keep clippers and a file nearby.  In the car, in the desk, in the daily backpack, within easy reach at home… Will get strange looks if pull out a nail file around people, but they are told it keeps Bunny from doing something nasty to them.   What icky habits have you tamed?

Guilty pleasures - processed food

 Why make home made mac and cheese, when you can just out and buy............. Perfectly fine food, right? Or not............. A federal judge said  Kraft Heinz  must face a proposed nationwide class action alleging that it defrauded consumers by claiming its  Kraft  macaroni and cheese, one of its best-known products, contains no artificial preservatives. https://www.fastcompany.com/91229708/kraft-mac-cheese-will-have-face-this-class-action-lawsuit-heres-why Mind you I gave up the Kraft dinners years ago. BUT I still have a fix............. Never liked canned soups, and when I want a bowl of quick soup, any Knorr will do, despite........ Knorr Soups Ingredients: Contains- corn flour, Refined wheat flour (maida) Dehydrated vegetables or chicken shreds Vegetable fat Salt Sugar Glucose syrup Spices & condiments Some varieties also contain certain vegetable powder, soy sauce powder, yeast extracts, and milk in some form Scary stuff, but I love me a bowl of Knorr soup. And let's be

So be honest, who watched that snooze fest?

Image
Come on, admit it, you watched that "fight" , didn't ya? Tyson has indeed been incredibly lucky to make it to this point in life, to have stumbled into a lucrative second (or third) act as an entertainer and  cannabis salesman.   But a boxer?  He’s not that anymore. Get real. It was never in doubt.  … well, the best thing that you can say is that it happened and nobody got seriously hurt.  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2024/11/16/mike-tyson-loses-jake-paul-age-matters-boxing/76351869007/ So, just to see what a real fight aught to look like I watched a real fight on youtube  yesterday... So, any boxing fans out there? Anyone who thinks, as I did, that the Paul/Tyson fight was a joke? Any boxing fans out there that have a favorite fight they remember fondly?
