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

You're welcome.. And that's great because its a pretty inhospitable place out there.
I've usually got a pretty decent view from my "office window" though, getting to see some things that many people don't.
Plus, we're all out here for pretty much the same reasons...
1. To make a living.
2. To keep gas at the pumps and the lights on.
3. Because we really don't "fit in" elsewhere. 🤣

True the view must be really awesome.
 
So the landlady has been stocking up on goats these last couple of years. She had two. We had to put the sick one down. then she got 3 dwarfs. Then she got the preggers regular one who had her one baby. The littlest dwarf, Sophie, has a ton of personality. First Time I was visiting after she had arrived, we were out doing whatever and I felt something hit my ankle. I turned to look when it happened again and Sophie was butting my lower leg. She was playing with the new human. Goats are a lot more innerestin' then one might think, and pleasant in most cases, too.
I love baby goats! They are just so darn cute! 🄰
 
Good morning denizens of the diner. Oh what a thread and so much activity last night. And of course we get the occasional ass.

I will never be a night owl but working on staying up later. I will not be doing morning taxi duty rather afternoon taxiing later this month.

Dog is doing better. I am amazed.
I'm so glad he's better! šŸ’ž
 
Morning all. I see we had to have the bouncer take out an underage malcontent. Good work to all involved.

Uncle report; doc says his lungs aren’t clear but they sent him back to assisted living. Cousin #2 is heading out to Tennessee to see Tennessee Jed (her son), and Cousin #1 is in early stage dementia so can’t be counted on. Which leaves me and momma. He’s gonna have to wait till after we go fish’n as the tables say 1245 is peak! šŸ˜‚

Gots to keep it short as SWMBO is curled up on the couch and gets snappy if she hears too much hunt’n&pek’n!

I think I played the spooky season card too early? Anyhow, yer stuck w it now—HMMZ——

How was the fishing?
 
Morning everyone. I was locked out of Lit for several months simply for trying to change my password and profile.
Formerly known as Kent London, it's good to be back.
Knowing the probable age range of most people here, I thought I'd share this post that I just published on another thread.

My wife and I enjoyed a brilliant hour or two last night watching Greatest Hits Of 1975 on the BBC. It was the year we met so nearly every song brought back some special memories:
10CC, Bowie, BeeGees, Bay City Rollers, Bob Marley, SuperTramp, Glen Campbell, Wings, Cockney Rebel, Stylistics, Helen Reddy, Barry Manilow, KC and The Sunshine Band, Dana, loads of soul bands, the gorgeous Patti LaBelle, plus Franki Valli, who is apparently still performing at 91 ....
My brother, now 77, was a bass player in three different bands on the south coast so I contacted him on Facebook and we exchanged some fun messages throughout the programme. He, of course, talked about Paul McCartney and his switch from a Hofner bass to a Rickenbacker, and then back again!
Everyone was much slimmer in those days!
And we all had long hair and wore flared trousers!
And we understood all the lyrics.
Oh, I forgot to mention the early iteration of Kraftwerk and their wildly experimental early move into techno!
Wonderful times.

I remember when we first met decades ago, tall, shy, but certain. Gorgeous thick straight black hair, great smile with a twinkle in Your eyes when you laughed. Your work was amazing. I explained the system and you followed it. I could trust you and I knew at some point we would be friends And we did, you became part of my family.
Over the years, we were there for each other, filled in each other’s gaps, when I was having trouble finding a place, you said I could live with you, you helped me with every moved, checked out every guy and I handled the things you couldn’t. We liked the same music, food, and hanging out just chatting on the back porch or the garage in the evenings. You worked for me and I worked for you. When I didn’t have a credit card and needed one, you gave me yours to use. We were friends and I never thought the end would come so soon. It’s still just hitting me that we won’t talk or see each other when I get home, that we won’t laugh again.
I keep remembering the day you came running toward my car as I was backing out yelling ā€œ I love you! ( pause) but not like that,ā€ us laughing and people staring. I loved you too, although I never said it, I think you knew. Rip.

Poignant, beautiful and gutwrenching...
