Sweet Sixteen? Holy Cow!!  I can't even remember being 16 and it sure wasn't 1969!!  lol

Repair shop

Funny how I remember it all. The music, the way we dressed with shirts bought a the army supply with small bullet holes in them. Sweaters two inches above the belly button and jeans, only jeans with patches.

Good old times! With good music.

FH, you are too young to remember or is it too old?♥♥

Window shopping

Hi!

[fishinghat]

shopping season

 

Gail, I remember when Woodstock happened but  I was from a little older generation. If I had showed up they probably would have thought I was a narc. lol

[Ramona80]

season food

Food poisoning

Do I ever remember the guys saying " watch out, the narc is close by"
You are bringing up souvenirs.

I lived in a town of 6000 habitants, the guys had their guns on the back seat to scare the rival gang. Rat hunting at night at the city dump. More fun then!

[fishinghat]

poisoning slowly

 

That beats "moonshining".  To go moonshining or to take a girl shining was to get a small amount of oil. Go out on a night with a full moon, pour some of the oil on top a mud puddle and then watch the moonlight shine off the oil. It makes a rainbow effect on the surface. Cheaper than cable!!! lol

[gail]

Slowly understanding

Never heard of that!

[TryinginFL]

understanding nothing


FH, I have never heard of that either!


I am understanding nothing about oil on water or guns on back seats! Seems all we did was drink beer!!

[gail]

Nothing but

And I drank wine, cheap wine!

Hi Liz♥

[TryinginFL]

but then...


But then, I remember my younger son drinking some horrible wine called "Night Train" which of course I was not aware of until I read what he wrote under his picture in the School Senior Section Yearbook about willing his trips on the Night Train to someone...


Sheesh!!! KIDS!

Hi Gail

[gail]

Then what?

Baby duck was the first for me, I hated the taste of something stronger. But then, we change!

But that kid is still in me, I got to look in the mirror to realize that I am not that young!

[TryinginFL]

What gives


What gives when I look at that old person in the mirror and wonder who it is...

[gail]

Gives everything

All mirrors should be banned. Spirits don't have problems with that because all they can see is the true soul. Wish I would be that way.

One day...good night Liz♥♥♥♥

[thismoment]

everything back

The reflection in the mirror gives everything back. There in the glass, light infuses an image of the truth; it's an organic record, a living receipt. There is a cost to living, and it's written there. Yes, there is smoothness in the innocent face of a child, like the bare canvas unpainted or the placid stone awaiting the loving hands of the sculptor. But in the face of a mature woman or man, there reflects the record of a heart broken and mended and broken again, the pain of a child being born, the bitter-sweet embrace when that child stands truly alone and leaves home, and the incomprehensible anguish of a child dying.

Hard choices made; tough love; sacrifice.

It's all right there.

And it's a beauty-- a radiance-- that can truly be appreciated, honored, and loved by another mature human being. Liz, dear friend, I wish that you live long and flourish!

 

Take care.

[gail]

Back then

Something to think about TM. Good writing.

[fishinghat]

then again

 

I must confess that I am a virgin when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Never had a drink!! No wonder I developed anxiety!!!

[gail]

Again and

Damned if you do and damned if you don't!

Never never? Seems as though you live on a different planet Fisherman♥ Don't worry, we love and love aliens!

[fishinghat]

and worse

 

Gail, sometimes I feel like an alien. Not only have I never never had an alcoholic drink but I have never had a cigarette. I have been know to utter a curse word when under stress/pain but that is limited to once or twice a year.  We will not elaborate on the fourth sin (sex).  lol

[gail]

Worse than

Fisherman, look closely into the mirror, as I am sure that you will see a kind of halo above your head. Your wife married a saint, now, is it one or two miracles that is needed to be proclaimed Saint?

[fishinghat]

Than this

 

Well I am sure that my wife would agree with you but I think God might argue against sainthood!1  lol

[TryinginFL]

This is



This is a wonderful site for finding kind and caring friends!

[gail]

Is wonderful

Agree with you Liz. Good place to come to make contacts with real people, even Saints♥

[Ramona80]

wonderful world

 

 

Wow, never a drink or a cigarette, fishinghat? I'm impressed! I always thought I was unusual because I've never smoked pot or done any recreational drugs!

[TryinginFL]

world knows

 

 

The world knows that I can't proclaim what either of you have, FH and Ramona!  I had my fun years...

 

Good for both of you!  

[gail]

Knows best

Hello Liz, Ramona, FH gone hunting or is busy doing a miracle somewhere!

Ramona, wish that could have helped you with the seretonine problem, FH or TM will surely guide you in this.

♥ to you both!

[fishinghat]

best plans

 

My wife says I am too cheap to smoke or drink. lol

 

Ramona, I agree with TM's post. But just incase it is withdrawal I would stay at a slower rate. Say 4 or 5 beads a day. Do you have a fever?

[gail]

Plans forgotten

Your wife sounds lovely Fisherman. What a lucky man!

I guess it's too late to start the smoking and drinking. Put that money in the piggy bank, for your retirement♥ or to bring us all on vacation!

[TryinginFL]

forgotten word

 

 

I still have this short term memory thing where I have a forgotten word and sometimes don't think of it for hours!

 

Yes, FH, I agree with Gail - your wife is a treasure!
