I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.
I don't care for dark British/Dutch humor. Dislike Monty Python as well. Give me a bittersweet French or Japanese movie or a sad Portuguese song. I'm more introspective.
You were very fortunate. I never really fell into anyone's arms.
I need to reassess my needs. My 'romantic' efforts in Thailand had limited success.
A washing machine is an accurate descriptive for how your body is pummeled with each wave as you're drawn down and then pushed up again. I've been a dozen times and if my shoulder wasn't like it is I would gladly go again. I'm like you very familiar with canoes and kayaks although my preference is a kayak on lakes. I used to take mine out with a small cooler bag with lunch inside and water. My other bag was a dry bag, it held my camera in addition to whatever book I was reading. If my brain was functioning I had sunscreen, depended on my coffee intake for sure. We must have been fish at one point in our life.
I agree with you about the aurora borealis, I don't dare blink. They're just so glorious in color and the way the air feels as you stand there awe struck. I'm equally glad these calories don't count, I feel like I've eaten enough for two people maybe three.
I've wondered the same thing when I read about all the discoveries documented and brought back by ship. Paper that didn't crumble or mold from all the temperature variances.
I'm not as comfortable storing things in the cloud myself, I have external hard drives that I transfer data too and then disconnect from my computer so it is hack proof. Not that I really have data anyone would want but it is personal to me.
But then I think about the close living quarters on a ship how did anyone have room for storage to bring back? Darwin was indeed lucky on the HMS Beagle.
We are discussing the evolutionists and creationists in my biology class. Whose side are you on? Why? Make sure to explain why the other side is wrong. If you are an evolutionist, write your own version of Darwin’s theory of evolution. If you are a creationist, come up with an even better theory of creationism. This is too deep and philosophical for me! I'm not an expert on either philosophy/ theory. I've never claimed to be particularly religious, so I'm not firmly rooted in creationism. It does seem fantastical that this big ,beautiful, complex world was created in seven days. Were these days comprised of a much longer format than the 24-hour days we know? I never accomplish quite this amount in a typical week. On the other hand, did we people evolve from apes? Evolution does appear to make sense. Nature is always evolving, changing, mutating, altering.... Nothing is stagnant. Mankind is adaptable. There seems to be proof that we existed in different forms in the past. Our structure is similar to apes. I've not studied either evolution, or creationism in great detail. I am aware of only the basic principles. Much of nature does appear to be miraculous and mind-boggling.
If you were to teach a subject in school, what would it be and why? Make sure you include the grade level! I believe I'd like to teach English and reading studies. I've always enjoyed reading, books of many subjects. many authors, and many stories. I'd like to encourage children to learn to read. If they grow to like reading, they will continue to be self-taught. They will be guaranteed entertainment. I suppose I'd prefer to teach the younger elementary students, those in pre-kindergarten to Grade four, or five. At this age, children are eager to learn and try new things. Their minds are like sponges, and they absorb so much, almost effortlessly.
