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

Oh so much this. I learned "this is the way' as a child and only since 2018 have I started trying to focus on filling my bucket, and sharing with those around me in meaningful ways. Given I turn 55 in a couple weeks I have decades of habit to overcome. Every day I strive to be better than I was yesterday. Every day I find the places I slipped and learn what I can from them.

And coffee. Coffee every day.


It's not that our parents and teachers lied to us. It's that so much of what they taught us just isn't so.
 
Greetings from vacation.
Rare downtime on a busy Saturday.
Contemplating a short nap after this - company (other than me) for dinner.

Catching up -
I vote we stop the clocks all together. They're moving way too fast! My vacation only just started and italmost over! 😭

😍 OM!! Lovely to see you & your memes!!

B2 has been excellent as a @tand-in

(((MissK))) - so sorry! I once added a switchboard on an Access database with a hidden doorway into the actual data table b/c 2 co-workers consistently tucked up the data every time they touched it otherwise. :rolleyes:

My daily ride is a small SUV with 144 + low change potassium miles. No lojack or Bluetooth. But step up from last car - it has power steering & power windows. No frills - sits up higher for my titanium knees & just gets the job done.

Heard there was snow back home this week. Good! We didn't get nearly enough this year IMO... Plus, I'm not there rn, so bring it on! :LOL:

Not looking forward to losing an hour!
Maybe a short nap right now would help mitigate it? :unsure: 😴 :LOL:

Be good. Have fun. Check in again later.
 
This was still little barn cat Ethyl. Fred was more to the front barn (hay, now cars) and Ethyl was in the back barn with the critters. All 4 horses were still alive and well. Geezer used to eat in a small stall (now the goat stall/maturity ward) at the front of the barn so the other critters wouldn't steal his food. Everyone had eaten and Telly, the red horse you have seen pictures of, and Bully Poodle/Calypso were standing near the front at the outside edge of the stall. The Landlady was there - I wish I had been. Horses have about one way to feel something - with their mouths. No fingers, a massive nail at the end of each leg - they use their lips. I call it snozzling. Telly saw the wee three-color cat and decided to investigate, so he gave her a snozzling, not knowing that this was/is Ethyl. One simply does not just snozzle Ethyl. Ethyl does not wish to be snozzled, as she considers this to be Rude Behavior. Ethyl hates Rude Behavior in a horse and she will not tolerate it. She turned on him, grabbed a bit of lip in each very clawed paw, and bit him on the lip. He jerked his head back, both in a bit of pain and apparently with a bit of emotional hurt, too, and he turned and walked back to the middle of the barn. Ethyl went on about her rounds. Making rounds/going on walkabout is very important to barn cats, it seems.


Ethyl moved inside a very few weeks later and is currently lounging against my travel bag.
Been a long time since I was snozzled! 😅🤣😅
