In response to "First TV"

I remember that toothpaste but I don't remember the advertisement.

Our tv was also in a huge cabinet with a small screen and the black and white was grainy too.

Glad that you started with Yoga, and breathing exercises always help. And yes, it's true, as you said, "Today is all we have."

In response to "Easter tradition "

I bought my granddaughter an organizer for her crochet hooks instead of candy this year. Last year I gave her art supplies. My daughter handles the candy in our home. My other grandchildren when they were younger, I sent them things they liked to do. I'm not the candy supplier either.
I like the idea of pajamas, maybe next year that's what I'll get her new spring nightgowns.

In response to "Jeans"

I'm finding it very challenging after my knee surgery. Jeans that I used to wear don't have enough stretch around the knee (it's still swelling) and I don't want to buy new jeans. Even sweat pants are too narrow right now around the knee. Capris' hit right above the knee but smack dab in the middle of the swelling. I hate wearing shorts so I'm wearing knit pajama pants when I go out and while I'm home in a nightgown. The nerve spasms are still an issue.

I agree with you about the cut, I hate jeans that when I sit my butt crack shows so the rise is a huge deal which takes online shopping off the table for me.

An apple a day....

I'm 80, but yes, I still wear jeans. TJ Maxx brand is my fav.

In response to "Story Time"

Nice entry!
"Each story had a purpose." Not only in Australia, either. I tend to think all stories have a purpose, even if some want to scare us.

Thank you for your comments. I’m sorry to hear you have the dreaded arthritis too. You never realise how important your feet are until they refuse to work.

In response to "Shoes"

Nice entry and I hear you.
I too have arthritis in my feet, ankles mostly; although, except for when it flares up, usually I'm okay. I can only wear sneakers, and at home, special shoe-like slippers. The podiatrist prescribed insoles but I could never use them. Instead, softer gel-filled inserts work much better. And I would never go barefoot, even at home. I'm just not used to it.
I hope your arthritis is tamed and you feel no pain at all.

In response to "Voice of doubt."

Yes, I do very much believe what we tell ourselves, in an internal convinced voice, to have a great effect on our feelings and behavior. So glad your friend is singing.

In response to "Daylight savings"

I find it disrupting to my sleep pattern.
