Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Ah...uhm.....I mean, uh..... Bah Humbug!
Had no idea when I woke up this morning, spreading Good Mornings to everyone on the Whine thread. This must be just another coincidence in my life.
Hello! everyone!
Avatar : JOY....Just joking, CWillie, JOY is last year's decorations, and we would not add music.
I still think that waiting to decorate for Christmas could be better appreciated if people could WAIT, until at least AFTER Thanksgiving. There are some lighted and flashing decorations in our neighborhood that only offer temptations.
Temptations to give out those addresses to vandals. (Just joking). Nah, no, not that. Maybe people are just trying to get this year over sooner by decorating sooner and sooner?
Hi, Ms. Madge.
Scroll up where you can choose "Newest first" or "Oldest first".
Click on "Oldest first", and there she is!

I don't like Daylight Savings time,but it is nice getting to sleep in alittle longer~
I have a confession to make. As a kid I used to try to twitch my nose to do magic! Hahaha 😂.
I also wanted my own Genie. I used to watch ‘I Dream of Jeannie.’ Both were cute shows.
Mother made chili bean casserole and jello in the shape of pumpkins every year too and our house was covered in decorations.
Mother was always a "Crazy Lady" or 'Lady GaGa" and I was always a rabbit every Halloween and
We usually had over 75 to 100 trick or treaters and so much fun.
This year the lights are off.Covid's here and Mother's gone.
It's my 5th Halloween without my sweet monster,Mother.
Inside the home made chili concoction was a hidden poached egg.
A trick, and a treat all in one. 🍳
Still, that's a good reminder that there are gremlins out there.
When I woke up this morning, it was a surprise that this was halloween!
If anything happens, they will get marshmallow rice crispies snacks, fig newton bars, or individual apple juice or grape juice boxes. But those are for our emergency go-bags. 🐤😱👌
Hi Ms. Madge! We understand if you are no longer posting, but thought you to be a really good person. Miss you!
I asked the salesperson to check the price for me. It was $75! I didn’t buy it but it brought back fond memories.
Just think if we would have kept all of our vintage toys, some are quite valuable today. Nothing was made out of junky plastic.
All of my brother’s Tonka trucks were metal. I loved playing with those too. Oh, the Lionel train sets were awesome and they are certainly collector items. So are the Barbie dolls. I had the original one. I didn’t have her dream house though. I did have Skipper, the little sister. I didn’t want Ken. Hahaha, he was dorky. I much preferred my brother’s G. I. Joe. He was cool!
I was horrible with a yo-yo. My brothers could do all the yo-yo tricks. I was a jump rope and hula hoop kid! A rubber ball! My baby dolls. The disappearing milk bottle! My tea set. Tiddly Winks! Spirograph! Etch a Sketch.
My grandpa built me stilts and I loved those too. I could skateboard but not roller skate! Best of all were large empty appliance boxes that could be turned into a fort. That was awesome! My huge live oak tree in my backyard to climb too. Of course, my bicycle.
I miss old fashioned toys. Everything shouldn’t require batteries or electricity. We had fun toys!
Ever seen the popular (in Asian countries) game called Go? I was watching this documentary, where an AI bot beat the world's top Go player. The game is several thousand years old, and there are something like millions of possible plays, but it's very simple to learn.
I just thought it was a fascinating game. The documentary is called AlphaGo, I think, and you can watch it for free on YouTube and other places.
