  1. Last Thursday I stopped at McDonald's for an egg McMuffin. Innocent enough I thought. Big sign at drive-thru for frozen Cokes, any size for 1.69. Worth a gamble I thought. Hoping to find the equivalent of the old fashioned ICEE. It was very close and delicious. 8 days later I'm on my 24th frozen Coke. This morning I decided to celebrate the weekend by getting 2 egg McMuffins and two frozen Cokes. 1 for the 5 minute drive home and 1 for the McMuffins. They inform me at the window the frozen Coke machine is cycling and it's a fifteen minute wait. I'm processing this when she says,"Why not try the cherry Coke or blueberry?" I've avoided deviating from the frozen Coke believing it's best not to expect another miracle and a close replication of the cherry ICEE. You see, the cherry ICEE was my favorite. I didn't believe it would be possible. I had ordered the two frozen Cokes until she gave me the bad news at window. Ok, I'll take one Cherry Coke please. "Just one?" I thought about it knowing this would be the most important decision I'd make today. Yes just the one. "Ok, but the blueberry is delicious too." I took my first draw before the cabriolet made it off the property and onto Wade Hampton directly across from my beloved former Kmart. Turn around now and get another cherry and one blueberry screamed my inner voice. Traffic did not allow. The cherry frozen Coke is almost as good as the original. It was gone before I made it home. I ate the 2 McMuffins in silence while waiting for M*A* S*H to end. Now I must return.

  2. The siding should be done by Monday. Supposedly sheetrock next week, DH. The color of the shingles ("Georgetown Gray") and siding ("Oxford Blue") look like the stuff we picked out, not the online-version where the shingles were dark and the siding was almost totally gray. I like the windows now that they're on the house. Fake white shutters will go on either side of the front windows and white trim in places. Here's the front door - I didn't want to interrupt the workers to get a better picture - I'll do that next week.

  3. Born to fly, trained to kill & stay alive. That chant sounded bad ass when 200 privates in an MP company sounded off. The light pole post got me reminiscing about boot camp. This is my PT T shirt. The hoodie I bled all over & wrote light pole on the back was exactly the same color & design.

  7. So we ended with doing a last minute vote on building insurance at my condo..poor planning..but we need insurance as on May 1. Hopefully, we have corrected that issue..in the mean time..a split vote. The management suggested if a second vote didn't break the tie..we stay with the policy that maintains our present deductible..1 board member said he wasnt happy but OhWell..When we were tie again, I think he complained again..we were told our other option was coin flip..so at 2:15 yesterday I asked folks to meet in the party room at 6pm and we would do a coin toss..3 of us showed up (both sides represented) we flipped and the complainers option won. I sent out an email, listed attendees and the results at 6:07pm...at 10:30pm complained is all hot on a meeting being called with less than 24 hours notice and who was there and just bitching...Dude..your option choice won..there was no meet and no discussion other than assigning heads and tails Last week Bonnie's family moved her out...Bonnie and Steve had been together for about 10 years..not sure if the were married or not..both have memory issues...Bonnie went to a memory care facility, Steve moved to a 1 bedroom on the other side of our building...his sister and family just hauled his stuff in the door and then took Steve out of town for a week.They returned today..Steve wandered away and was lost ..briefly..thankfully..Hope his family keeps track of him. Investigated a double billing and found the problem...Worked on scheduling a bazillion card games...and at 4:21 got a call about a non working fridge..unfortunately..no maintenance on site..and this resident had a soaking step in tub with whirlpool..and they installed a new breaker box..Our maintenance didn't want to touch it.. I am home now..left with some chicken pasta salad and Jell-O cake from the dining room..didn't want the cake but it tasted good. Heard froggies croaking on my drive home. The end Short version..damn busy

  12. That’s awesome! Yeah that would be me for sure! One of my sisters has horse property and when my daughter was little rescued a carnival pony. Well we would put my daughter on it and the pony would head right for a tree & scrape her off it’s back! That pony wasn’t giving another ride no way no how...

  17. You would have cared, and asked yourself like I did, Hey wait, what about Sham?, the beautiful horse that was second to Secretariat in all those great races. Did he live a happy life filled with Phillies and family? But no, you couldn't be bothered with Secretariat much less the handsome horse that has the second fastest time ever at the Kentucky Derby. You're disgusting.

  27. Nostalgia is like a rocking chair with a cozy blanket. It's surely comfortable and soothing; a relaxing and reassuring place. I suggest, as comfortable as the rocking chair is, it's difficult to create anything while seated in a rocking chair. So one has to make the effort to stand up, set the blanket aside, and do something to make a difference, to fix something, to help someone, to learn, to start an adventure... For if one doesn't, how can a person - in the very least - create new memories to be nostalgic about in the future?

  30. That's true. You can humiliate people in certain circumstances even though you care about them and just want to help. For example I have a cousin who, a few years ago, was suffering terrible toothaches for months: she had previously taken a medication for a different issue known to make jawbones weak and the dentist wouldn't do the oral surgery needed without some X-rays and other tests my cousin couldn't afford - she's one of those "cash only" people who doesn't use a credit card (we tell her that's insanity) and never goes into debt. Nevertheless, she refused help from other friends and relatives because, as she later told me, she felt humiliated and depressed about not being able to handle the financial problem. When I learned of her dental problems and "stubbornness," I sent her a check for $500 with a note saying my siblings and I had had some good fortune lately, finding some lost money from our late mother's estate that we inherited, and we wanted to share our good fortune with one of our mother's favorite nieces. Total bullshit. But that worked and she got her teeth fixed.

  32. To me nostalgia is like a bank of good memories that you can draw on during a difficult time. Sure, it can make you a little sad those things aren't current, but it's nice to have experienced them in the first place.

  34. And to a slightly less extent, Kirby. Aire should have been my best Secretariat greatest of all-time supporter. Airedales are like the thoroughbreds of the canine world. A grape pie isn't going to save you but it would be an excellent start.
