Save the jokes about being the 'Old Turkey' left over from Christmas Day. Lol!
I just feel more lethargic , full and bloated on Boxing Day.
Is it because I pick at all the leftovers, all day, every hour,minute,second?

Let me restate: What did your parents lack...thus they couldn't teach you and you couldn't teach your children?
Please use impressions from early ages, if possible.

I seem to have more coin change at the bottom no matter how much I take out and put them in my rainy day jar. Not as much make-up either. It is also much heavier!

I think it is terrible to penalize a loving couple by taking away the Social Security funds which they worked so hard to earn simply because they want to marry. What can we as a society do to change this cruel law? Do you know any couples who have decided to simply live together instead of getting married because of this atrocity?
Thank you for your response to my question.

A very shy guy goes into a pub on Valentine's Day night and sees a beautiful woman sitting alone at the bar.
After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I brought you a drink?"

She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"

Everyone in the pub is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table totally red faced.

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologises. She smiles at him and says, "I'm really sorry if I embarrassed you just then. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."

The man responds, at the top of his lungs, "No I will not pay $200!"

I am just sharing this little joke with my friends on Seniors. Please don't SPREAD it about.
I bought, him indoors, a lovely little spreading knife and some chocolate from Anne Summers. He had taken the knife out of the packaging and put the chocolate......God knows where! Christmas Day he couldn't find the chocolate anywhere! So, he came up with the bright idea of melting down bits
of a Cadbury bar that we had in the fridge.
Only problem was it was a bar of Cadburys with Crunchie bits!!! Ouch!

P.S. 13.30 hrs Boxing Day. Still haven't found the Choccy!

We watched a dvd last night; but my husband prefers seeing films at a movie theater. So, I promised him we'd go out to see a movie or two while he is on vacation this week.

How about you? Do you prefer staying at home and watching dvds or going out to the theater? What is the last film you saw at a theater?

How then do you pass a compliment along to those individuals?
This belongs in the Senior section because I am a senior who wants responses from my fellow seniors. Others are always welcome to respond though.

It's easy to see the issues, so how about we hear some realistic solutions for Y/A to consider? Please list what problems you see there are and follow that with your realistic solution.

My 93 year old grandmother (i'm 22) was recently put into a nursing home due to dementia and that she needs constant supervision. The first time that I visited her was on Christmas Eve and it was a real depressing sight.

It reminded me of a scene out of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in there. All of the elderly were mostly sitting in wheelchairs in this big dining area. Many of them were talking and even arguing to themselves, some were just walking back and forth, others were laying on stretchers while the aides entertained them, and some were just staring out of the window. They have the stereotypical happy, cheerful music playing on speakers in the room non-stop.

It was really sad for me to see my grandmother be amongst these people and very sad to see a very intelligent, witty, and kind woman deteriorate throughout the years into a bitter, miserable person who couldn't tell night from day and who her own children and grand-children were.

I really dread the future visits.

I'm 60, my mother, 88. Visiting for Christmas after a long absence, holding her close, she said she wanted to live with me "forever and ever", not comprehending my own disability.

My sister, 65, and niece, 44, were present, who tend her often, living in the same city as the nursing home, but neither able either. She is there for multiple TIAs (ministrokes). My sister and I saw the brain scan showing the damage, when the neuro PhD told Mother she could no longer live alone, nor in an assisted living center; that the areas of damage would cause additional falls, imbalance and impaired memory.

She's remained unconvinced 4 years. The doctors have confirmed that other than the effects of her strokes, she is in perfect health, and will likely live a lot longer.

Repeating what happened when we made this decision, she remembers none of it, nor having ever fallen, saying today she thinks we're "pulling her leg". It breaks my heart. I write her weekly. Keep these explanations?
