I just wonder what an empty nest would be like. That’s why we go to Atlantic City a lot, to get away for a bit. I told Charlie, however, we need to get a cheaper get away🥴 My older daughter lives 4 minutes (by car) away from us .That is almost like living with us.We see our 14 year old granddaughter several times a week.Her sister who is in college face times us or texts whenever she has time.She will be home for the Thanksgiving break in 13 days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted November 6, 2022 #76954 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Today I sorted through my closet to separate the clothes I will take when we move versus what I’ll leave for the sale. I first took out what I want the movers to pack and then shoved the stuff that will stay to the back. However, when I went to put the clothes that will go with me back in the closet in the front space…it began to look like it all could not fit back! Sort of like if you unpack an appliance then decide to return it…you cannot get the appliance and all the packing material back in the box. As I have a huge closet I’ve never needed to downsize. So I still have clothes from the era when we went to formal balls…. And when we lived in a town where people dressed up for parties…where we went out to dressier restaurants. Between that lifestyle change…and moving to a warmer climate…I’m only taking about 1/8th of my closet. 🤭 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted November 6, 2022 #76955 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Phillies Manager is over-managing. Terrible moves. His Ace(Wheeler) had only 70 pitches and takes him out of the game. They deserve to lose this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they win you are batting below 500. Unfortunately Astros have a great team. Go Philly. Astros are winning 4-1.I hope you did not be on the Phillies.

Might be a little different for the Phillies Manager after tonight. I still can't believe I was seeing Wheeler walk off the field after only 70 pitches with the way he was still pitching. I rather have seen them go down with their Ace instead of brining in our bullpen so early in the game. The Phillies bullpen pitched over their heads the whole playoffs, just knew it had to go south.

Jimbo Posted November 6, 2022 #76961 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Congrats to Dusty ! High five From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The high five is a hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand each, about head-high, and push, slide, or slap the flat of their palm against the flat palm of the other person. The gesture is often preceded verbally by a phrase like "Give me five", "High five", "Up high", or "Slap hands." Its meaning varies with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or celebration. There are many origin stories of the high five,[2] but the two most documented candidates are Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men's college basketball team during the 1978–1979 season Edited November 6, 2022 by Jimbo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted November 6, 2022 #76964 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I was rooting for Houston primarily because my late friend Dave moved to Houston in 1967 .He loved the Astros more than anyone I ever knew who was a baseball fan.Unfortunately Dave passed away in 2012 .

Yes,that is very true.Schwarber who many teams did not want to sign because they said he was a terrible fielder .I did not see that.I saw him hit 51 home runs in 2022. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted November 6, 2022 #76967 Share Posted November 6, 2022 @BonTexasNY I was reading your post about your upcoming cataract surgery.I had mine done,one eye at a time in 2012. Recovery was good for both surgeries. I compared my “new” vision to the scene in the Wizard of Oz when the film went from black and white to color. Everything looked so much sharper . The downside was that I could see the cobwebs that I had missed while house cleaning !🙄 Wishing you a successful outcome. MJ 🙋🏻 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted November 6, 2022 #76968 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Well, my word for today is glorious. DH and I stepped off the bus at Palm Beach on a beautiful sunny Sunday in Sydney and I looked at the sparkling beach and clear water and turned to DH and said “ oh my goodness, isn’t this glorious ?” Then I left hubby on the bench whilst I popped into the ladies and the lady washing her hands in the basin next to me turned to me and said “isn’t it just glorious? - we are so lucky to be here today”. I could only agree. Then as DH and I started walking to the other end of the beach, we overheard an older gentleman who had just come out of the water turn to his friends and say “isn’t it just glorious? The water is so clear”. So there you have it, the beach that the actress Nicole Kidman holidays at every summer and gets papped, is glorious😀 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted November 6, 2022 #76969 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Anyways, the reason we were on the bus was because we were doing a one way 7km walk from Palm Beach to Avalon Beach. Beautiful coastal views, 3 headlands, beautiful homes and 3 lovely beaches & rockpools: Palm Beach & Rockpool & first set of stairs: 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted November 6, 2022 #76971 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Headland views, a garden that appealed to me, another rockpool with a bit of wave action And a “life aquatic salad bowl” with a large Chai latte that was a delicious way to finish off our walk at Avalon Beach - in the one of the many cafes in Avalon village before we collected our car nearby.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted November 6, 2022 #76972 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) My son has been away for the weekend in the Hunter Valley winery region which is about 3hrs north of Sydney. A mob of locals checking my son out as he went for an early morning walk: I have always seen mobs of wild Kangaroos on our previous visits to the Hunter Valley region and my son said they were everywhere on the weekend.

Guess another trip to Hawaii is in your future 😁 This is absolutely correct. I've not been able to recreate the "perfect Mai Tai" here. About the only thing that I haven't changed in my attempts, is the location. I've settled on a pretty good Mai Tai though. 1 oz light rum, 3 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz passionfruit juice, 1/2 oz of orgeat syrup, mix and top with a 1 oz Myer's rum floater. The Myer's seems to give the best dark floater look. I ended up skipping the OJ and guava juice, but the best blend of juices is probably an individual preference. I love pineapple juice. Although I couldn't change locations, I did buy some tiki glasses to help make it feel more tropical. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about it for a few seconds and said neither...he was the bad guy in one season of Dexter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
