I Figured It Out (at least part of it)

"I figured it out. I figured it out." (singing here) A song from the old Doris Day movie, "The Pajama game. Yes, I stuck with it until 0300 on a rainy night in Missouri while all slept in their nice little beds and I figured it out. But now I can't go to sleep because that ear worm won't stop. Might...

A Beloved Brother's Birthday Remembered

Yo, Ben, look at me now! You'd study me over and say, "I never knew ye!" Well it has been 61 years since you sat in my house on Quincy. I've changed, but you will ever be the same. Sign in to see full entry.

How Can That Be?

At least once a week Son P.D. stops by just to talk as long as we feel like talking. Quite often it is on Wednesday. He takes Phil to his Adult Day Care, stops by Aldi on the way back (His favorite store), loads up on groceries and incidentals and purchases for me if I have emailed him a list. He...

Yo Ho Ho and A Glass of Iced Tea

Keeping my cool this next week is what I will be focusing on. I'm so glad that most of my windows face north so I can see out without the hot sun shining in. I have one room with a big south-facing window but I just close those blinds and close that bedroom door and stay out of there. I didn't even... Sign in to see full entry.

My Distaste For Cooking

I wasn't always that way. I used to cook up a storm for a lot of people, often. One day I got burnt out on it and now I just buy what is nutritious and throw it together in whatever way possible. One of the last meals I took some trouble with was my last Thanksgiving Dinner with turkey, dressing and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Man With No Friends...

I'm really, really, really tired of people who try to scam me just because I am an old lady who has gray hair and looks as if she no longer has any sense. They do it by phone (I have a land-line because Iphones make me nervous)....that's one sign I'm old. They do it by Facebook. I should take my... Sign in to see full entry.

A Sudden Midnight Urge

I was closing up my laptop at midnight last night, my usual beddy-bye time, when I had a sudden urge to contact my last remaining USMilitary grandson via Messenger before shutting down. I had not communicated with him for a while and I thought I'd leave him a message he could answer tomorrow. "Where... Sign in to see full entry.

Inveigled Into A Mess

Oh good grief...I'm getting caught up into the political mess....after all my insistence that I am not a political person. It is addictive. Warning, warning, warning...stay away from political dissensions. They will grab you and not let go. They will rob you of your hold on your sanity. They will... Sign in to see full entry.

A Newby For Taps

For the first time in 65 years, I am officially a non driver. I haven't driven for the last year, but I could have if I had wanted to. Now just the fact that now I can't makes me want to. Yesterday I went to all that trouble at the Missouri Department of Revenue Drivers License Bureau just to get a... Sign in to see full entry.

As You Know By Now...

I'm sure that by now (it's all over Blogit and Facebook) that today is my 86th birthday. This is a new experience for me--I've never been this old before. As comes with age often as not, one has great-grandchildren. This is at a time when one has already almost forgotten how cute and funny their... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
