    On the wind

    Oooh, If I recall, this is Lake Fancy Pants! Hugs, Allen. Transitions are never easy, but I think this will be a great adventure and I'm glad you're taking the Forum along with you!
  2. I'm still mad I missed the Grimace Shake last year, even though it likely was horrible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimace_Shake
  3. It's a gift to be simple! https://youtu.be/baNueuDCue0
  4. She is a stray cat who was pregnant and hungry on the streets of the Bronx - she's still thrilled to be living the good life and isn't about to risk her source of treats. Another advantage to being single - you can have pets or not as you like, without worrying about your partner's allergies or if they do/don't want pets.
  5. I had a shamrock shake a couple weeks ago for the first time in years. I liked it fine, but the best part was that it's a limited time treat just available around St Patrick's Day and it's all part of the celebration. Sort of like summer and Chick Fil A peach shakes.
  6. Sorry, RG. Transitions are never easy. We had a widowed family member who carried on as if nobody had ever known her depth of suffering. My Mom thought it was a bit much and so asked my Dad "name 5 things that would be better about your life if I died first?". My Dad, being a smart man who had been married over 50 years at that point replied "not a single thing". My Mom then pointed out that he'd no longer have to go to Garden Club meetings with her and he laughingly responded "that's so nice it should count for 2 of the 5" I tend to believe a relationship with the right (for me) person is better than being single, but being single definitely beats a relationship with someone who isn't really right. Some advantages: I've lived in this house for over 25 years and there hasn't been a single fight here in all that time. No silent treatment, no sulking and no sarcastic or insulting comments. No doors slamming - just peace and quiet when I get home. I can also afford to be selfish in my habits. If I want to eat out, sleep in, nap or watch dopey game shows from the 70's on tv, nobody is going to roll their eyes at me. Plus I don't have to listen to anyone else watching things all day that I think are annoying or stupid . I also can prioritize my finances as I like. I don't have to spend money on trips that I don't really enjoy. Or buy cars or support other hobbies that I think are stupid. I've known a lot of people who have mutually supportive and wonderful relationships, but I also know people who put up with a lot because they're afraid or don't want to live on their own. Ultimately, I think it's really about making the most and appreciating what you have, whatever that is.

  8. Happy day to everyone!
  9. Yet another year when I wasn't selected for the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Next year I'll have to consider learning how to play basketball, and joining a team, and maybe joining the NCAA. But for now, I'm March Mad alright!
  10. I went out to celebrate on Thursday with a lunch at a local Irish Pub. It was quite an eclectic mix of people including one table of very festive women who for some reason had a Yoda doll with an Irish hat and pin in the middle of the table. They were all quite themed in their clothing. Another table had women wearing green and white flower crowns. I found another table intriguing. It was a number of older people with two very young, cheery women. I was trying to figure out if it was a family outing, but realized it was a group from an assisted living facility in a nearby town. The two women were employees who were carefully looking over their charges and everyone was having a good time with lots of smiles and laughs.

    Snow

    We're getting a drop in temps too and I'm glad. It's too early for 70 degrees!
  12. I was going to say you made @JerrySTL 's spring, but I was napping and couldn't post in time!
  13. I'm rarely caught up with current trends but have a couple in classic straight leg, small flare, cargo etc. Up to now I've rarely thrown things out until they don't fit me or I definitely won't wear them for some reason, but pants are on my "to do" declutter list.
  14. Please let them know that work comes secondary to your imaginary friends. That should help your career.
  15. Not sure I've ever had them, but since I've had plenty of opportunity to order them, I'm guessing no, I don't like them.
  16. With the second best season of the year starting on Tuesday, what are your favorite signs that spring is approaching? Is it daffodils, forsythia, robins, scilla? The little buds that start appearing on the trees? The temperatures creeping higher?
