    The Best Thing That Happened To Me Today

    A serious pang of jealousy right now. LOL.

    What Are You Doing Today?

    Got up, went to the gym. Only did 45 minutes of cardio today. Just wasn't feeling it. Stopped for gas. Figured I might as well fill up before it hits $4 a gallon. $33 for 1/2 a tank. Jiminy Crickets!!! Went to Home Depot for primer for a spot in the living room. Went to ShopRite to get my...

    The Best Thing That Happened To Me Today

    I created this thread in another forum I used to be a member of, maybe 20 years ago, and it did fairly well. It's a place to share little things... "I got a letter from a friend" "I found a book I have been looking for" "I finally got that cabinet painted" As well as the big things...

    A new something all the time

    That's great news about your meniscus. Did you feel it slip back into place? That happened with my shoulder. Sitting in the emergency room, and it just slid back into place. Relief was instant.

    Fireballs and meteors in several areas recently

    If we're talking extra terrestrial beings, I fully believe there are others 'out there'. There are over 6,000 known planets outside our solar system. Who knows how many millions (billions?) there are total, beyond anything we can see? It would incredibly arrogant and presumptuous for us to...

    Rediscovering hobbies and simple joys; what’s keeping you busy these days?

    I forgot to add, once I built that Space Station, I donated it to the local library. It now hangs from the ceiling of the children's section.

    Rediscovering hobbies and simple joys; what’s keeping you busy these days?

    The USS Constitution was my last build. It took me almost two years. My wife would come into my shop, and say "How can looking through a magnifying glass, trying knots with two tweezers, possibly be relaxing?" Over the years I've built hundreds of things. Cars, planes, boats, bunches of...

    Any Regrets? Oh, Yeah!

    I regret not taking school as seriously as I should have. I'm intelligent enough to have gotten scholarships, but I was more interested in playing in bands and chasing girls. I also regret not taking advantage of the GI Bill when I got out of the army. I could have given myself so many more...

    Rediscovering hobbies and simple joys; what’s keeping you busy these days?

    I built models as a kid. I got away from it for probably 25 years while getting married, buying a home, putting two kids through college, etc. You know, grown up stuff. I got back into it when my kids got old enough to realize Dad wasn't cool to play with anymore and went and got their own...

    Rural Living

    I'm jealous. The closest thing I have to rural living is a guy comes and scoops dog poop out of our yard once a week.

    Bird cams and other outdoor cameras that people watch

    Did you watch last year's hatchlings, Gizmo and Sunny? I actually got choked up when they finally took their first flights. Dang stupid birds. LOL.

    Whatcha Watchin' on YouTube?

    I don't know if anyone else is following the two eagles at Big Bear Valley, Jackie and Shadow. It's a 24 hour feed, and they've got 2 eggs due to hatch at the end of March/beginning of April. I watched their last two go from hatchlings to their first flights. It won't let me post the URL link...

    General Humor

    Senior moment humor. I went to the gym Friday morning, excited to try out the new headphones I'd bought to listen to my Apple Music playlist while on the treadmill. I scan the gym's WiFi, it's on my phone, says it's connected, but I'm not hearing anything. I go to the kid at the desk, ask him...

    Woolworths Luncheon Counter

    I remember it was a big deal, because we would ride the bus into town. I was maybe 4 or 5. We never ate at the counter, though. Mom was there to shop. The best part was there were turtles in the pet department. And there was an escalator that terrified me.

    Scammers are using AI

    Unless there is a name with the caller's number, I don't answer. If it's a person who honestly needs to get in touch with me, they'll leave a message.

    Falls

    I have a really nice walking stick my daughter bought me a few years ago. I haven't had to start using it yet, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually. As far as falling, it took me 4-5 falls in as many years to finally take it seriously. Now I'm very conscious of my footing.
