However I am finding most anyone against the vaccine seems to have a lot of misinformation about it ( causing miscarriage's ,…

The Karate Kid
I have absolutely no desire to see the new movie called The Karate Kid (which is actually about Kung Fu) but it got me remembering how great that movie was. I can't figure out why they would name this new movie The Karate Kid, when it's obviously nothing at all like the original. I guess they figure the title will draw an…

Merry Christmas (I still say it)
Some of my friends think it's not Kosher to say "Merry Christmas" (well, they are right, my good and wonderful Jewish friends). Some think it is politically incorrect but I don't care because even though I wrote to Santa Claus I never voted for him NOR Mrs. Claus. Some of my family and friends prefer "Happy Christmas"…

R.I.P. the amazing artist, Wayne Thiebaud
Very sad to hear about the passing of magnification artist, Wayne Thiebaud. He lived a good long life- 101 years old. I was introduced to his work by a close family member who took classes from him at U.C. Davis. His body of work is amazing. I remember the first time I saw one of his San Francisco cityscapes in the Crocker…

What did you read in 2021?
I seem to remember we had a thread like this last year, so I thought it would be interesting to do again for 2021. I keep a card file and computer document listing the books I read each year (sorry for the italics, I can't seem to correct that here- darned Microsoft Office Word!!!). This is very helpful for someone like me…

Dealing with Friends who Have Differing Political Beliefs
I have known my oldest friend since nursery school. We are now in our mid-50s, so we have over 50 years of friendship. We often talk about the old days, which is cool, but when the topic turns to politics, it is not a good scene. I understand that we are all entitled to our opinions/beliefs, but this goes way beyond that.…

Crew (Rowing)
Anyone row here? I've been rowing high school crew for a club for 3 years now. For someone who was never the big star of the basketball, soccer, baseball, football, etc., teams (let alone even able to handle a ball in those sports) I finally found a great sport that I can actually say I'm decent at. So does anyone else do…

You know you're getting old when...
you go out with friends to a pub and see an extension lead plugged in and turned on with nothing in it, think "Bloody hell that's dangerous, what if someone spills a drink on it!" and turn it off... Like I did on Saturday night :oops: :lol: What about everyone else? :D
