I am not a Halloween person as when I was small, the culture of my country used this day to visit their loved dead ones. But Halloween came here with other imported things. We now even import pumpkins that are not grown here. And...

marguicha @LadyDuck When my husband was alive, he liked to watch TV at night. He was in charge of the control so I preferred to read most of the time.

marguicha @LadyDuck I think that we had the TV in our bedroom because as we had children it was easier to control the use of the TV there. And we would never even think of having a TV in the dining room. For us, meals were the moments to talk with each other.

I'm not an expert but at least it still tastes good to eat. Today I was frying tempeh mixed with wheat flour but it was a little burnt because I left for a moment to look for a plate.

Most of myLot members surely know that "trick-or-treating" is a Halloween tradition in which children go door-to-door and recite the phrase to receive candy. This tradition, called "souling", dates back to the...

Loretta @LadyDuck I can't imagine. My mom had dementia but it's not the same as a spouse with dementia. No doubt you are emotionally devastated.

Jim Bauer @LadyDuck Do what feels good and right because doing good and right feels good to me. If there's a reward, great. But I don't want to do it JUST for that reason.

Jim Bauer @LadyDuck Precisely. We have no idea when we are so young what girls can offer us that bring us great joy, and of course, pleasure. lol Once hormones kick in the cooties are all killed and the pursuit begins.

Jeff Moffitt @LadyDuck Fortunately, I am a person of patience. I can sit for hours focused on one task, if need be. It's not my preference, but I can do it if I need to. One thing I am good at is concentration.
