    Have You Noticed A Decline In Quality Of Products You Regularly Buy?

    I've been buying 2 year old Balderson's cheese for years now. It is expensive but I limit myself to three slices a day, usually at lunch on a sandwich. I've tried many others but nothing competes with it.

    What are you driving.....and do you like it?

    2018 Ford F150 Super Crew 4x4 6.6' box 5.0 ltr. V8 in Magma Red with almost 100000 miles on it. I know I need to spend some money on it this year. I'd like to have a new one but prices are scary now. This picture was taken on a cloudy day so the colour doesn't show well.

    Grief - It Just Never Gets Better

    @MaddHollander: As others have said, I don't think that the grief ever ends completely and in some ways I hope that it never does end completely. But it does change for the better if we can allow it to. I know that there isn't a day goes by that I don't think of my wife, and my daughter. They...

    Have you ever met an old flame? What happened?

    About a year after my wife passed away I met a lady that I went out with for a while about 40 years ago. We ran into each other again and again different places and saw each other's posts on fb.

    Ever wondered if you've picked a few wrong signposts along the way?

    I certainly should have paid attention to the signs many times but I also think Garth Brooks said it right in his song "The Dance". And now, I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd had to...

    Do you think retirement was what you pictured to be?

    No, not what I expected. I lived most of life thinking I would never be able to afford to retire, but lo and behold, here I am and I don't have any intention of going back to work. I officially retired in September of 2020 to help my wife deal with cancer for which she started Chemo in March of...

    Do I want to be alone or do I want to be social?

    My wife passed away April18/23 so I've been alone now for 21 months and I am doing pretty good with my own company. I think of her often but not in a painful way now. I can think of all the good the good things we had and even some of the bad without feeling sad. I had been alone for about seven...

    Happy Birthday BeefStu, and Many More!

    No cake to share here Kate. My dog Harper and I had a nice quiet day here at home. Went for a walk this morning, into town for groceries and back home. Mulched some leaves with the lawn tractor and watched a movie.

    Do you like men with beards?

    I trim mine pretty much weekly, if not then maybe two weeks. By then It starts to get a bit wild and interferes more with my CPAP mask. My wife always liked it when I let it go longer than that. I compromised by not trimming back to where it was just stubble. She definitely didn't like that.
