Life your Life, part two

10 years ago

I just had to share this here instead of just a response to the list that Jasdip posted.

On an old man's shirt was written: "I am not 80 years old. I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience." That's ATTITUDE

I think I must have seen this "old man" yesterday at my eye doctors. I was one of several patients who were waiting our turn to have a vision test. We were a talkative group with several people chiming in. Across from me was a lone man, interested in the conversation; all others were women. My turn came and as I stood up to go out he smiled and said something, which I don't remember now, and raised his arm to wave as I left. I turned to wave back and you know what that "old guy" did? He WINKED at me. I cant even remember the last time I saw anybody wink. I laughed and said to the group, "That man winked at me." I could hear the laughter as I left the room. Now that "old guy" sure showed ATTITUDE.

As I often say, with thanks to Readers Digest, Laughter is the best medicine.

My father is 94 years old, in good health, and has never lost his sense of humor. He travels all over, takes about 6 cruises each year, and makes friends everywhere he goes. He always compliments people, and loves to tell women that they look especially nice today. They all love him! When I upload his pictures onto his computer after each trip, there are countless pictures of him with women of all sizes, colors, and ages--and he has email addresses for many of them!

Two years ago, he was asked to wear and bra and skirt and dance the hula at a breast cancer fundraiser--he immediately agreed, and was the hit of the party. I mean, who can resist a bald-headed, hairy-legged, nonagenarian, wearing a ridiculous bra and skirt. He had more dollar bills stuffed in his bra and skirt than the young studs...and it is forever preserved on YouTube! He says that, at his age, nothing embarrasses him and people love him because they know he doesn't have long "on the green side of the grass". He frequently tells people, "At my age, I don't even buy long-playing records!" (He does, however, have a bunch of cruises booked well into 2017.) If I live to his age, I hope I have his sense of humor and love of life!

What a hoot! Is it too late to change the title of your post? Mine was supposed to be LIVE your life. You might as well have it titled correctly. Hahaha

Sorry, I don't know any way to change anything here any more. There used to be Edit and Delete buttons, and a way to italicize,etc. The flag is still visible, but it says "report comment" which I guess refers to spam, maybe?

I thought the wording didn't seem right, but I had no right to change it. I did change it when I saved it in my files.

Ilene, Buddy looks like Queen of the Nile. So cute! pattycakes, your trips sound wonderful. I would love to go to NYC. finallyhome, there is always something going on in one's life, and what seems ordinary to one is interesting to someone else. Here's the puppy. And in the last picture is the jealous cat. They have been out at the same time, but it's easier if one is loose and the other one contained. Buddy the cat has been in a foul mood for days and now he just walks around growling when the puppy is outside when he is out. The puppy just bops around like the cat isn't there, unless she gets too close to the cat and the hissing starts. If anyone is in the Dallas area, and wants a sweet dog, let me know. The vet thinks she is a catahoula/labrador mix. She seems pretty smart too. I bought a collar to take her to the vet Friday and she balked at the end of the leash. I've been working with her (in the backyard) and she leads now and comes when called, at least most of the time.

I just wanted to say thank you again for the sweet, sweet comments! We have two boys (2.5 and 6) and I never thought that we would make the jump from 2 to 4 children all at once, but we are looking forward to it! I hope that the picture thread continues! It's been so much fun to see what everyone shares! awm03: That is an amazing picture! jillinnj: I wish I was there too! I told DH that we need to go on vacation somewhere now, because we're probably never going on vacation again after the babies arrive! ;-)

There are a number of problems with what she is doing. First it is best to use weights to make this kind of bread...you can't just say " about 1/3 c of starter " . Won't work. This is supposed to be a very wet dough. So her measurements for water aren't off but she didn't allow for the wet starter ! You are starting with something that is quite difficult unless you are used to working with wet doughs. Jim Lahey has a wonderful and easy wet dough to try first before you use a sourdough wet dough . He doesn't use weights but his formula is impossible to mess up. I would be glad to give you a perfect formula for a sourdough boule like you are trying to make and it is tried and true as I use it all the time. The weights are very accurate and it is fool proof.Do the link first a few times though. The other problem with her starter/possibly your starter is the way it is being fed and stored. It has to be fed = parts water and flour every single day. It has to have 1/2 of it thrown out every single day for the first week and then add in the new flour and water. This makes it very healthy and prevents over-growth of unwanted bacteria and helps the good yeast thrive. Another thing is how it is stored. It must only be lightly covered. It has to be really stirred every day and kept only lightly covered as yeasts are aerobic and need oxygen to thrive. I don't know how she got her starter going. I have a t&t formula for that too :) Mine has been growing very happily for 4 years and I use it weekly. There is something wrong with the Youtube as I kept getting an echo and couldn't get it to play right so I gave up ! The temp in your house isn't too cool. A healthy starter loves cooler temps. Try the link below a few times and get used to wet doughs and then I will give you a wonderful sd formula !! Let me know how it goes. c Here is a link that might be useful: Jim Lahey NYT

awm03 - yup its the camera the flash still goes off when I open the shutter for longer periods. I tried 3 different settings and the flash won't shut off so it ruins the pic. I will have to get a new card for my Sony and try again next year. Trail- We were at Young's Point Provincial Park in Alberta. So far it is my favorite place to camp near here nice and quiet and lots of trails to walk on. (or run LOL)

Hahaha, that's okay Sue. When we start a thread, we have an hour, tops to make any changes. Comments that we make, can be changed at any time.

I figured you, and others knew what I meant, anyway.

We still have the edit and delete buttons, as well as other options that allow us to express ourselves.

When you are the one to start a new thread, you have a very short time to edit, but those making postings afterwards have several days to edit or delete.

The flag is for several reasons and you will have options to choose from if you click on the flag. Reporting someone who is peddling their products in a forum is just one.

Wanda, your dad sounds like my kind of guy!

I'm going to continue on this same space because I want to say a couple things in regard to the above comments, re the Edit, Delete buttons. When I first attempted to reply to Jasdip's reply, the Edit, Delete choices were not there, only the flag, and I typed my response. As soon a I hit Submit, the Edit / Delete X showed up, and the message was posted as is shown now.

I have had problems with using Houzz from day 1. Won't go into all that now, but I do have a question that I hope someone will answer for me. When any comment I make shows up, do you see my avatar, or just the head thing?

I appreciate any and all of the helps from you good KT people. Thank you.
