Some years ago, when we were in our sixties, my son made a video of my wife and I relating our family histories and our life together. Having lost her, I have been left with many photographs but was missing the sound of her voice. My grandson loaded the disk into my computer this morning and its...

Bangladesh- 2 Dead-40 injured- 20 hostages- almost certain to die. Isis claims responsibility. Why am I even posting this? Might as well give the weather report. "It rained today in Bangladesh." So what?

Just caught it on the news a minute ago. A pointless rant follows below. When is enough going to be enough? These people are ruining the lives of people of all persuasions around the world. Turkey is a Muslim country. Those all powerful multi-national corporations that we love to hate take a...

I'm a techi illiterate so, sorry, I was unable to bring the link over, but there is a video on Yahoo mail about the latest trend at resort hotels. It involves putting on a mermaid tail and swimming in the pool supported by a flotation device! Fun to watch, but it looks like an effort to me.

We did this once a while ago. Here's my pic. Frank Sinatra, anybody? c.

So I'm sitting in my swivel chair watching "Outrageous Acts of Science". As I often do, I try to see myself within the big picture of the Universe. I start thinking "At this moment, I am traveling at 1000mph sitting on the surface of the Earth as it rotates while orbiting the Sun at 70,000mph...

O.K. I finally had to look it up, because I didn't know where the "OZ" was that you guys are always referring to. It obviously had nothing to do with Judy Garland or the "Tin Man". So I find out it means "Australia" or "Ounce". Fine. I was just going to say how do you make the connection between...

Frank Sinatra gets lucky!

What's with the make up on CNN newscasters? Suddenly, in the last two days, everyone, men and women are orange. They even manage to make Brook Baldwin look bad. I feel silly posting this, but I'm interested in the news and being distracted by clown faces.

My Sweetie and !. Her Senior Prom.

This past New Years Eve I was thinking "No New Years kiss for me this year". I was killing the night on You Tube and stumbled on these Latin kids singing a Happy New Year song in Spanish and blowing kisses through out. Picked me right up. I have it posted on my wife's FB page and look at it...

I didn't want to intrude and sidetrack "Annie's Adventures" with my own personal ramblings so I put up a separate thread. I woke up very early this morning and was browsing the forum. I had been kidding Annie about their Kayaking in Thailand and decided to take my first look at her "Adventure"...

We have a wide span of ages on here. Some are in their fifties. Most seem to be late sixty or seventies, and we have a small group like myself around eighty who post regularly. I have not noted anyone who has indicated they are older. Our ages affect our views. Just curious about who our senior...

Winter Solstice 10:48 tomorrow night. The real reason we celebrate. Christians complain that the season has lost its meaning. It may be losing its connection to the celebration of Christ's birth which has a separate meaning all its own, and was arbitrarily assigned to December 25th. The original...

I have been on the forum for nearly a year and a half. I don't know where the time went, but then I never know what day it is anyway. At any rate, being semi-illiterate with modern technology, I have just kind of fumbled my way around the forum. It just recently occurred to me that I have failed...
