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.
PROMPT: The Sunday News! British t.v. show,' Doctor Who', announced a woman would be taking over the main character's role for the first time in its history... naturally, men are upset... When are men gonna finally understand that everything isn't about them, and that they have to share things and realize women are just as capable as they are? Especially when it comes to acting.... First of all, I must confess that I have never viewed this television program. Yes, to me it is Doctor Who? So, it has caused controversy? No, not something audiences/fans care about! Oh, the audacity, the sheer nerve of it all! How dare the show's writers and creators not follow the accepted script! I perused the accompanying article, and gleaned the following. 'Doctor Who' is a series about aliens from the planet Gallifrey. Okay, got it. Apparently, the Doctor is able to evolve, or shape-shift. It has already been established that these Time Lords can switch genders. So, it's not a bombshell falling from left field. The precedent was set, just not yet activated. There are only two sexes. and if the past Doctors were always males, why not stir things up and try something different? Sure, both men and women are capable of acting. No one has a monopoly. Either may be heroes, or villains. Think of the many comic book characters who are represented by both sides. There's a Superman and a Super Girl, although some would argue she did not get a mature name. Complaining men, get a grip. Aren't there more serious kerfuffles in this world? Er, um, just for the record, I do not agree that men have to share everything. I'd be pleased if they kept NASCAR, wrestling, farting gags and competitions, and lewd whistling to themselves.
oh come on. seriously!!! what is wrong with this site? Three times I have composed a blog in response to July 22nd's prompt. I clicked on the WDC save button, and three times my entries have disappeared. This is aggravating.
