My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.
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.

Talk Tuesday! Ever thought there was something going on in your life that you should've talked to your parents about, but didn't? Only to realize...you maybe should've, and it wouldn't have been a big deal in the first place?
         Hmm, do I have something I want to get off my chest, and confess to my parents? My short and sweet answer is no. I can't think of a thing. I was not a wild child by any means. Some other kids may have called me a goody two shoes, or a nerd, or a teacher's pet. Ya, I was boring, and not a rule breaker. By the way, where did that expression, goody two shoes, come from? Why specifically two shoes , and not one, or no shoes at all? Oh, right, maybe because a perfect person would always be wearing an entire pair of footwear. Is there an opposite saying such as baddy no shoes?
         My life was an open book. I was the eldest of four kids, and as such I was expected to be responsible and set a good example. There's that word good again. It does get over-used.
