Thank you for this. You have no idea how needed this at this very moment. My brother and his wife are both fighting terminal cancer and my 92-year-old stepfather was hospitalized today with a very bad case of the flu.
We're going to be okay. Even if the healing doesn't come.

Happy New Year

I am so old that......I remember I had long ago stop do anything on my birthday....after all....my age is just a simple chronological number, I am still all that

I do whatever I please on any day, no need for birthday, no need to remind me how long since I joined planet earth

As my chronological age get higher, I am getting more outrageous


Happy 2026

I count and claim every year! I worked hard to earn every one of these "Arctic Blonde" hairs. I PROUD of 'em!

Oddly enough, I remember my parents' phone number form the home I grew up in - because you had to actually dial each and every number to connect - but could not tell you anyone's cell number - not relatives, not friends, not work. Just a name on a screen that fits in the palm of my hand.

I remember being a walking phone book ... and having to sit on one (or two) to reach the table!

I was thinking more along the lines of having him figure out the rotary phone!

Ye Olde Yellow Phone.

Imagine trying to explain that to someone from the 70's or earlier ... I have a device that lets me talk talk to anyone in the world whenever I want, lets me play video games, read any book or watch movies 24/7 ... and it fits in the palm of my hand.

When I was little, my Mom told my father that she'd rather have a lot of little Christmas presents than one big one. So he bought her a camera ... and wrapped all of the flash cubes individually!

I read this "big vacation scar" and was thinking, wow, what do you do on vacation?

Amen! My ash blonde hair gets more ashy every year but I quite like it. I think it's pretty and it suits me.

I have never heard of this!

We always stay up though and watch other people’s fireworks and eat Christmas cookies if there’s any. We used to go to church for a service but our current one doesn’t do that.

We go to church every New Year's Day.
