Loretta 's Responses

Off to a party tonight.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (380002) • Rockingham, Australia 9 May

We are going to a friend’s 80th birthday celebration this evening. We’ve been friends since our children went to the same school and the kids are now all in their 50s. She and her husband were the ones who introduced us to the...

Loretta I love this photo!! It's so fun and happy. Love seeing your lovely face. My 80 year-old friend told me she recently played Qwirkle. I never heard of it until she brought it up. Have a wonderful time!

Thongs away.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14687) • Ireland 9 May

My wife takes to do with her 91 year old aunt with dementia who lives in a care home but doesn’t really know where she is. Recently she went through the lady’s clothes, removing old items and replacing them with new clothes she...

Loretta Those things are like wearing floss. I hope it was a joke. Then again, there are some elderly that like to wear the "girlie" things. I have an 80 year-old friend who wears them. I asked doesn't she feel murphed all the time?

I shouldn’t have said anything.

Amber @AmbiePam (119309) • United States 9 May

Last night I shouldn’t have vocalized my fear that my electricity would go out. Although to be fair, it didn’t go out until an hour after the storm was over. That was about 8:15pm. Around 8:40pm I was headed to my dad and...

Baseball Sized Hail!

DE @DaddyEvil (173770) • United States 28 Apr

I was looking for a shirt to wear in my bedroom closet when I heard a bullet strike the roof right above my head. I jumped and shouted! Pretty came running into my bedroom asking if I was hurt... Then we heard hail striking the...

Loretta Glad you made sure she waited before grabbing one! Wow. That would have startled me big time.

I will attempt to place a photo of my daughter's painting with this writing. My corner has enjoyed summer heat for the past few days. Now that I have turned the A/C on we're back to cloudy skies and Spring. It is still dry and...

Finally Got a Little Rain!

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128471) • Gainesville, Florida 9 May

Here in north Florida, we have been in an extreme drought for months, and the government is estimating that we are about 30 inches below normal in rainfall. Basically, a significant amount. We did get a good day of rain last...

Loretta I hope you get more rain again soon. Those are pretty roses. Our days include working on the property and enjoying milder weather outside. We are going to grill outside tomorrow.

Are you old enough to remember "record albums"? Can you still remember "what comes next"?

The Horse @TheHorse (237770) • Walnut Creek, California 9 May

When I was a child, we bought what were called "record albums," or "LPs," and played them on what were called "turntables," or "record players." There was up to 45 minutes of music on a single LP, and the songs always came in the...

Loretta I still have a few albums. Today, I went to the thrift store and found a Paul Anka "Diana" 45 for $1 and grabbed it. I even have a couple cassette tapes, one of Millie Vanillie. I keep trying to correct that spelling but it changes back. I don't have 8-tracks...

What Do You Do?

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (55873) • Canada 9 May

Most of us alot of photos on our smartphones. Afterall, they seem to be the 'new' cameras that most of us own these days. I am not alot different. But the trip that we took out to Victoria, BC last month has made me think. My...

Do you check for gas mileage before you buy a new vehicle?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (58186) 6 May

Pretty much everyone I know here has been doing this for a while, unless they have a bottomless wallet--and I don't know anyone offhand that has one of those. My older son has a neighbor that has always had a nice pick-up truck....

Loretta Back in 2013, I needed a truck since my use of a vehicle includes towing trailers, dump runs, hauling furniture and what have you. My milage was pretty fair at 18 - 24 mpg depending on terrain and highway. It's older now, and I need the 02 sensors replaced, so...

Can You Imagine.....?

celticeagle @celticeagle (188937) • Boise, Idaho 9 May

I have no desire to go on a cruise but it is the dream of many. Can you imagine planning a cruise for months, the time comes and you look forward to this luxurious cruise, right? Only to board and then soon be notified there is an...

Loretta I've been on two. The first one was to Baja CA and we did different stops before Mexico. It was fun and went uneventful. The second one, was the Alaskan Cruise in 2022. We had an engine quit and the itinerary changed. Then a fire broke out and we all were...

What do you fear the most?

lovely @augusta123 (10081) 9 May

Do you have anything that makes you quiver in fear whenever you remember it? Some people will say they are not afraid of anything but I don't believe that because as long as you're alive, there will definitely be one thing that...

Wheee! I got a swim in yesterday!

The Horse @TheHorse (237770) • Walnut Creek, California 1 May

My ancient body is tired, but I get a boost of energy when I do a bit of exercise. Yesterday, I had the day off. It was not hot out, but 75 F was enough for me to visit the pool. I got a few laps in and felt better about life....

Loretta I was in Oregon all week and the hotel had a pool but I didn't get to spend time in it. I was so bummed. I love exercising in water.

A knotty lampshade

Judy Evans @JudyEv (380002) • Rockingham, Australia 2 May

Have you ever done macrame? I haven’t but I’ve often admired it. I thought this was a macrame lampshade but now I've blown the photo up I can see it's made of beads of some kind. The lampshade in the photo was in the Nungarin...

Loretta It is a cute lampshade but no doubt not easy to dust. I have done macrame and made big wall hangings, plant holders and more. I haven't done it since I moved out-of-state three years ago.

Strangers using me because of my height. I said no. What would you do?

Valentina @valherma00 (3073) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 2 May

Loretta I have asked for help and have been asked to help and always been glad to. Most the time, if I look like I need help, there is someone to ask me if they can help me. I do the same. I'm turning 67 May 7th, but I don't use my age as an excuse. I have some...

Have you ever "stolen" a Bible from a motel room?

The Horse @TheHorse (237770) • Walnut Creek, California 2 May

OK, it's time to confess your sins. I love Matthew 25, and Matthew 6. I also love Isaiah 58. But the fact is, most of my Bible reading has occurred in Bibles I have "pinched" from motel rooms around the Country. California....

Do you prefer cooking or eating out?

lovely @augusta123 (10081) 24 Apr

Do you like to cook or do you rather just prefer to eat out ? I prefer cooking but sometimes when I am stressed, I would use the alternative. That is the only time it makes sense to eat out. If I have the strength, I don't...

Loretta I like making meals but as I am getting older and my physical abilities are a bit more harder, I refuse to make the huge drawn out several ingredient meals anymore. Maybe once a week we do a meal out but usually a cheap one using rewards.
