All the quotes ring a bell. I seem to age at different rates in different places in my body. One day it's one thing, another day it may be another thing. I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the quotes. '

Sometimes when I listen to these media idiots..left and right who just blather away,I think of people like Paul Harvey and others. I miss him and often wonder what has happened to us that we would give so much attention to the blabber mouths and even care what they think about anything. Talk about dumbing down.There..now I feel better.

The second quote is so interesting. I agree that it is an "adaption to new conditions";

Christmas, 2 weeks ago was very low key, just husband and me, then our oldest and SO told us they would come from New England, whereupon his daughter, husband and baby asked to come too and by now for Christmas Eve younger son and wife and daughter will also show up but drive back home and of course the St. Bernard our oldest owes, has to come too. We don't even have that many chairs anymore. Whaaa!
