There were so many times we would get a cross phone call when we were calling friends or family. Sometimes we would land up speaking to people we didn't know for ages on one subject or another.

this sort of thing can also happen on cross-country bus or aeroplane adventures...

i had an elderly lady chew my ear off for most of my trip to LA (the one-and-only time i flew there), but she was not scheduled for me return trip. i got the whole list of her family from parents, siblings children and grandchildren and i even recall the family name and rough environs that i could probably still track them down and ask them what happened to their grand-matron 20 years later.

my trip from Denver to mid-Michigan i spent quite a few hours of time listening to a lonely teenager who was glad to be going someplace else from a place that had no appeal to her. i'd gladly have stayed if i'd have found a job but a month of looking (sort of ) and fishing (also mostly sort of) and i ended up with only one job offer and i could not bring myself to accept and show up for... that was 40+ years ago... ok, i've now kept going on my trend of procrastination here...

And don't for a moment think that varicose veins are only a result of carrying a baby.

i'm just going for general concern today and nothing more exciting or exotic... good luck to all fellow travellers...

Just a note--Middle DD complained that nurses are having a hard time finding her veins to take blood. She had an appt. a few days ago. I suggested that before the appt she drink a lot of water, and do a few minutes of vigorous exercise right before they are to draw blood. These things make your veins pop and easy to find.
Happy to report that she said it worked.

Yes mee too, but how I fantasise about the ideal world, where we go back to basics : )

Or even go back to where we had more freedom of choices in our lives

The oldest computer was owned by Adam and Eve. It was an Apple just one byte and everything crashed

Apologies to the gentleman

What does a 60 year old man and a Christmas tree have in common?
The wood is dead and the balls are just for decoration
