wonderful post taps
i laughed all the way through, not at you but with you. as i feel exactly the same way. i am guilty of making a list, but never using it, now where did i put that list. and what i really do not like is not being prepared, so i dont mind thinking about things and death is something that i am preparing for. all my family and friends have to do when i die, is nothing. they can take a minute to remember me if they are so inclined.

Re: Nautikos
Thank you so much. We will hope for the best as she goes through some chemotherapy.

LOL
I make lists regarding the various lists I need to make in the future, and I have another list to keep track of the lists I have pending. I once misplaced the "Master List", and was lost for 2 days (it turned up, thank goodness, and I got back on track...).
And now I'm off to check yet another list, and see what's next to read

I don't blame you at all! The only 'list' I deal with from time to time is the grocery list! Other than that, I do my best to use my 'mental' lists to get me through! Then, sometimes, that's what Post-Its are for . . .

Re: Pat_B
I know what you mean. LOL. I'm going out to the store for some coffee in a minute. I would have bought it the other day if I had carried a grocery list and coffee was on it. I only have enough for one more pot and I don't like getting that low.

Re: WileyJohn
I'm afraid that it is on my mind for a reason. My oldest sister, now 83, has received the diagnosis of inoperable cancer--inoperable because they are afraid that she will bleed out during surgery and they won't be able to stop it. They don't give her a lot of time left, but one never knows. I'm afraid that I began thinking "list" of all of my loved ones now gone and that I miss terribly. I will take your advice and, instead, make a wonderful list of all those loved ones that I still have and are full of life and goodness.

Too many people around here prefer the leg and thigh. It is the first thing that goes on Thanksgiving.

Why not just have a turkey breast Taps easy to cook you won't get fed up with it or have to make Son eat the Parson's Nose. Think about it. Turkeys don't make lists.

As I approach the ultimate limit, I have to make lists or I forget
where I was headed, what I need to do there. The days slip past while I'm focused on some crocheting or dialog for a scene, and there I am having missed the chance to go to the store and pick up the makings for meat loaf or something.
