Unless one were planning on a bit of backcountry
hiking, which would for me be a possibility but not
a great possibility.
Most likely a "nice to think about, but not actually do so" for us.
Of which there are many, but that's life.
Yes, and the oldeer we get, the less chance we have of doing some of the things we want. Steve had been wanting to see Yellowstone since
My relative lack of desired destinations coupled with
my love of travel make me an apt companion for Lilli,
who actually does have a bucket list. We've knocked
off a fair number of them (Everest, Borobudur, the
northern lights, the Alps), and she's done some studying
on her own as well.
childhood; Rachel & family's move to northern Utah made it within reach
for us. A couple of years ago on a drive out to see the girls, I'd
wanted to see the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. We didn't have
the time then but took the time this last trip to do so.
That's great. Now that I think of it, there's one
thing on my list - the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
I've seen it from the top, but at this point it
seems the only way to get to the canyon floor would
be to jump off. With my luck I'd miss, anyway.
Kids get fixated on one place early on and it stays with them. Our
Can't see that happening with some of those chains
we've mentioned, especially Starbuck's, though I
did love coffee as a small child.
I've never been a coffee drinker. My parents just had one cup a day, in
the morning. Dad, like probably most coffee drinkers of his age, started doing so in college. But for him, college was after several years in the
Navy during WWII and prior to that, a couple of years of work after he finished high school. Now, tho, I think with Starbucks and suchlike,
people have started drinking it at a younger age.
Starbucks, though, tastes bad on the face of it, and
the only reason to drink of it is to appear to be
chic and sophisticated. Kids generally don't have
that problem, though maybe they're starting that
younger as well.
I remember the first McDonald's I ever saw, on
University Boulevard in College Park, and I remember
when the sign went up "over 100000 sold" and
thinking, gee, that's impossible.
I remember getting a meal (burger, fries, drink) for 45 cents!
I remember an ad about having a Mcmeal and getting
change back from a dollar. Before that there was
an ad about feeding your family and getting change
back from a dollar - I think that meant four burgers,
a large fries, two coffees, and two Cokes.
(usually eat at home, eating out was at an actual restaurant) so
we're
Seems sensible and to be encouraged, and that's
part of why we're in this place, I guess.
Too many people relying on the clown, king or otherwise to feed their families, sad.
There's so much to occupy one's time now
besides learning to cook.
An interesting evolution. I suppose with the
joints being ubiquitous, this train of events
makes sense not in the making sense sense but
in the I can understand why it happened sense.
I can follow your reasoning, and while it may not be the best way to
feed the family, it's better than having them go without.
It's a sad phenomenon, but those who saw the danger
and degradation in it were less noisy than the
advertising giants.
Depends on if you think you need it or not. Publix had some lentils, split peas and great Northern beans on their close out table
yesterday, > still over a year before their best by date. I picked up
a bag of each > to use this winter.
Nobody needs Great Northern beans.
No, but some may want them.
Whatever for.
I thought it was purr-fectly acceptable.
Let me pan that.
Litter-ally?
Let me give you the scoop on that.
Just don't box me in the corner.
O-clay.
No cat-astrophies either.
You're stretching this on pup-posely, aren't you.
