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

[Wonderer67]

I had one of my famous wall of texts describing my two siblings currently and how different they are now but decided to not waste the space.

Suffice it to say that one let my dad's death be a closure and one did not. Their level of success followed accordingly.

Man, do I have stories. Heh.

I may go back and edit my last post! Sorta tmi!

Family is like a Clint Eastwood movie.

Love his one ear!!

Hi,

The very first post spells out the rules for this thread. No religion, no politics, etc.

I see you're pretty new to this site in general. Just a heads up, this thread will be quite a bit different than what you find almost everywhere else here.

Other than that, it might be good to go back a bit and read along to get a feel for the place. It's a chill place with a good group of patrons, who intend to keep it that way. Low key friendly banter and making friends are what we're here for.

Order up!

I didn't read ahead. Again! Thanks, DKA!

 

[Lilianna23]

You know i'm starting to feel old l o l

Seasoned, darling! Not old!

 

[Wonderer67]

Well…Melatonin works. There might be one more thing…starts with an “O”, and ends with “gasm”…

That’s the most fun way to get to sleep!

 

[Lilianna23]

Now THAT sounds scrumptious too - and I got the idea while lurking that here in the Greasy Spoon, shared thoughts are rarely painful. Slide into a booth with your platter and mug if you will, and we’ll raise a toast to Storytelling and deliciousness! And delicious storytelling (on other threads, of course lol) Slainte !

We talk about all kinds of things here. Check out @likes2watchU's posts. She does marvelous recaps!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank you very much for your kind welcome, AND for the prompt delivery of my dream-lunch! I hope I have not unwittingly broken a rule already, but I assure you I read them carefully as I was Lurking, mostly at the beginning of the thread, and I would not be deliberately rude. So if I’ve transgressed, it was unintentional.

I did in fact come here first as a kind of warmup, since despite the way I may come across I’m quite introverted. Well, ambiverted-leaning-introverted. That being the case, I’m still a bit hesitant to join more boisterous threads! Yet.

Looking forward to hanging out and making some new friends, as you said! Come over for a toast when you have a minute.

We're quite welcoming. And, you've broken no rules so stop worrying! This is a great thread and we're all friends here!

When you have been up all night, why is it that I fall asleep 5 minutes before the alarm goes off.

 

[Wonderer67]

Hello all! I'm brand-new here, don't see an introductions thread - so this seems like a great place to come say HEY. I've never been one to take a spontaneous plunge into a new social circle (or a pool); I prefer easing in, acclimating, and eventually diving deep.

OK, and I admit it's been awhile since I indulged in either a Greasy Spoon OR a Dive Bar, so I'll take the opportunity to order a ginormous steak & eggs, medium-rare, over-easy; also an Irish Car Bomb please. ^_^

Welcome!!

Wait.. all that AND an Irish car bomb??

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh, it's Wednesday all right.
Less meetings w/ the Team Lead out this week, but not less fun
Lots to catch up on already...
Part 1


After the "Go to the gym!" ringtone, I'm afraid to ask, but still kinda want to know about the Wake-up ringtone

Lili had a wonderful day visiting with her brother... capped it off by mooning the café!
And a beautiful moon it was, too, Lili!

A Cosmic Truth from Grey - good reminder, my good man

OM hit it out of the park today with brunch
How did she know? It's like she's psychic
Even I found plenty to eat!




Good thing we did up the most important meal of the day right, because we tackled lots of Deep Thoughts about parents, parenting, and growing up (us and them)!











Yeah - that's a tough one

Then it was on to a brief discussion of humping and sprint break... correlation? causation? chaos? Or just good, clean fun? You be the judge



Good to hear HDH's wife is progressing with the knee recovery. to both as that is not a short journey. Sounds like they're off to a good start!

I went from a Samsung SG7 to a Samsung A15 5G
From what I read...
S series is their "luxury" line
A series is their "workhorse" line
This article was a big determining factor in my choice as well as my budget:
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G Review: This Cheap Phone Is a Stalwart
So far, the transition went more smoothly that some others. I like the performance - especially the battery (new phone vs one I had for 8 years - no contest), and love the case I got to go with it.
Galaxy A15 5G Case from FNTCASE
I found it for less money online vs their site

Such a cutie!!! Thank you for sharing another photo of Sven!!

Missk is Living the Dream today!!

Another great recap, Likes!

My wakeup song is called "Get up!"

I know you guys like my mooning!

Once the clouds clear? Maybe? 🌪

 

[Lilianna23]

If you can see it and be realistic about it, and are willing to try something else, you can be rid of such things.

Wize Wat Wordz!

 

[Lilianna23]

Lil, I had a panic attack type moment just now! What are you doing here so early!!!

Makes me think I'm running 6 hours late for heading to bed!

Anyway, Tag! You're it!

I just needed to keep you on your toes today, DKA!

This is really a fun and great group.

Sorta like a crew you might find at a coffee place or at a local pub.

There’s banter, kvetching, good ol fashioned joking and some of the more “here’s what happened today” and “here’s how my day went.”

Pull up a chair and join in .

Nicely put.


I couldn't forgive my father until I could accept that he was sick. That was 10+ years after he died.


But I got there . . . .

It is hard..... soo hard....I have had to grieve for things I wish were while they were still alive... and realize that things are what they are..... .

We occasionally get a tornado in Jersey, but I couldn’t imagine what people go thru on the Midwest and southern states that are tornado prone

 

[Lilianna23]

Of course not.


It's a pet name


And humble.


Imagine if we called it Large Powerful Brain and everyone hated us.

 

[Lilianna23]

They do.


So do the single old woman residents.

You're a magnet! ️

Yep... it is all about acceptance and my reaction to things out of my control..

My life would have been a lot different if I would have figured this shot out earlier....but alas hindsight is 20/20

 

[Missk_2022]

I didn't think there would be a second.

I haven't even had a first?!?!
