The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I didn't know we could get currants here. I can't in my local stores. I did know about them being eradicated; I thoughtvit was all. The ones I bought from Amazon were red. IDK where they were from.

I found the black ones in a Whole Foods a couple of times. Not sure if they are seasonal or not?

I've been known to work a capella!

Oh my

 

[Missk_2022]

Update - the weather begins acting like spring this week. This morning is grandpa taxi run. Then brunch and a visit with my son.

The old dog is being demanding of affection. Need to scratch his ears then he is satisfied. Does that work for us? .

Maybe?!?

So cute

 

[Missk_2022]

So until the 60s no current could be propagated in the us.... I think 1963.... now some states will allow their growth but it is controlled..... there are also new varieties that don't carry pine rust disease ( or whatever it is called).

I prepped for a meeting only for noone to call on me to present

Good morning fellow Spoonies! Leg two of my vacation begins a little bit later today. Currently relaxing with some much-needed coffee and my BFF's Kitty cat. He is so pretty and is a glutton for pets. While I'm allergic, I am happy to oblige. What's an extra antihistamine among friends?

Speaking of friends...
Welcome to new friends who have stopped by the cafe recently. I hope you enjoy your time here. We think this is a pretty special place and are happy to share with like-minded folks.

I have a smidgen of time before I have to finish packing and get ready for my next set of flights, so thought I would squeeze in a quick catch-up...

Which color?

We grow red currants here. Some grow white.

Black currants were eradicated, as they are symbiotic with some fungus that decimates our white pine trees...

Jealous. berries of all sorts. Haven't had red currants since my stay in bonny Scotland back in college. Yummy!
Very popular drink wt the ladies @ the pubs. Red currant & vodka.

Here. Different place. It's okay.

Glad you arrived safely. Travel day for me. New place by evening.

i read it and got into the trap too

I feel so seen

I have weigh in tomorrow

You got this!! Go, Miss K!!!

What you said.


What I heard.

I got caught in the Bono trap & knew it wasn't Sonny

Love your recaps, Likes! And, I'm bookmarking that site, um, well, erm... because!

Thanks for the compliment.
Isn't that site fun?
And for any shoppers out there, Spanx has a men's line, too. Who knew?

You got this, babe! ️

See? Told you.

(Maybe... if he even shows up )

Is this a handyman/contractor thing? I have the same issues with my guy. So frustrating and annoying! We're working on his communication skills but Geez Louise

That's why one needs a multiplug with room for several chargers!

For a minute there I thought we were talking about a style of power tool

I must take this headache to bed.

hope you feel better today! Headaches are not fun at all. A quiet dark room and several cold packs are my medication of choice. Far more effective for me than anything on the market other than my botox. I don't know who made the connection between Botox and migraines but it's been completely transformative for me.

I think it is called a power strip.

Anyone else have a petite La Cage au Folle moment there? Just me? Okay

Similar w/ BFF's Kitty

If curious, B2 are the initials of my real name, A2 are the initials of the city I live in. When I came here, I was looking for a girlfriend. But I found friends, good and sound friendship. The real world took care of the girlfriend. The friendship here is special. Thanks for being my friend.

love this, B2!

A very nice text, i must admit. I also feel like this place is Awesome, though i am a newbie here. Still thanks a lot to you all

Aww... welcome. So glad you like our group.

Fred!!
Marvelous, darling!

I stopped trying to catch up. One just jumps in and becomes assimilated into the discussion. I smile and nod blankly until the room stops spinning.

{{{@qky75}}} good seeing you again!!

Speaking of work… fuck work.

Not motivated today.

I feel exactly the same way. Probably a good thing I'm on vacation right now. Haha

Preach it, brother!!

Amen

I am just a plain old er nurse... not fancy in the slightest

Don't need fancy. Good is good


Off to finish getting ready. I get picked up for the airport and just over an hour or so. Seize the day, Spoonies! I'll check in again when I have a little more down time.

Well that's frustrating!
I've got some time for you this morning. I'll listen to your presentation. Hit me up girl! I'd love to hear what you got! Pretty sure I'd learn a few new things, too!

 

[Wonderer67]

I'm plain and old but not a nurse lol

I’m not a nurse but I play one on tv.

Whoops.

I mean I stayed at a holiday inn Express last night…

 

[Mittering]

I'm a nurse, retired now. I was an advance practice nurse in critical care and also taught nursing at a local university.

My friend was a malpractice attorney. He's retired now, too. Sometimes he would ask me to look at a case.

I have a couple of nurse memes. But I don't dare put them on this thread. Someone might look me up and hang me just to get rid of them.

 

[Mittering]

Good evening can anyone suggest a better way to end a hectic day other than a long shower?

At some point not too long ago, someone described a very relaxing hot tub soak complete with refreshing adult libation.

Throw in a foot rub from across the tub and you should be catatonic in less than an hour.

Showing restraint is a sign of good judgment and strong character in my opinion. I'm sure a simple search will uncover a treasure trove of other threads where your memes would not only be more appropriate but also welcomed with open arms, among other things

 

[KentLondon]

I'm writing a book about deaf sex maniacs.

It's called Come Again?

 

[KentLondon]

I would love. But got none of it right now available lol

Surely the vino can't be too hard to come by in Australia?

As for getting a real something hard to come by .... I wish you every luck in finding a solution!

 

[KentLondon]

I slept all night and woke up tired.....ugh

Great title for a country song.

Don't lie. You've DRESSED as a nurse before. Please say it was on Halloween and you were copying Heath Ledger as Joker.

No that was actually me.

Just working like normal.

 

[Mittering]

Wow, six pages to catch up on from last night. I'll get to it.

Woke up with a sore throat. Felt it coming on yesterday. Hot coffee felt good.

Slept in and Mrs. Mitt did morning chores bless her. She even baked muffins so I don't have to make breakfast for my mom this morning.

Getting in the shower so I can be germ free for mom today. We might have a visit today from home care to get us started with them. I hope so.

People are strange.

Lady calls,

' so I'm scheduled tomorrow for a consult about a serious issue but I need to reschedule because my grandson is going to a birthday party at the trampoline park and I need to be there.". . >blink< >blink<

 

[BlackSatinKnight]

I'm glad you were seen. Please let us know how you're doing.

This bug hit me harder than I thought. I was under the weather for three days, then spent Saturday and Sunday making up for everything I missed. Thanks for asking

Keep up the self-care. This year's bugs are mean & sneaky.

How to say I may be the problem without admitting it
