Just a thought: You may want to slightly rephrase the above to, " . . . moving to a senior living community." Sounds a little more appropriate.

Back when my mother was alive, she was waiting in an office to see her accountant. One of the bookkeepers came out and called out her name, and she didn't hear him right away--but a staff member was overheard telling the bookkeeper, "Oh, it's the old lady sitting down there." THAT she heard, unfortunately. She came home and let me know that her feelings were hurt being called OLD; she said she would have preferred elderly as it seemed more respectful. She felt the man thought she wasn't as valuable as a younger person. I did my best to try and lift her spirits and tell her that she was a valuable and contributing member of society, no matter what her age. I never forgot the sad look on her face, so please understand that I'm a bit sensitive about your comment. I realize you meant no harm to the senior citizens.

That's my mother. She refuses to admit she's older and keeps a positive attitude about. She's 72 and just did a train tour across Maine and hiked a lot of the countryside there.

Compared to young people I am old, very old. I don't mind being called old because many friends and relatives didn't live long enough to be old. I am what I am and, age-wise, I am old. I don't feel old, I don't even think that I look that old and I am certain that I don't act old, but, old I am. I took an online wildly unscientific quiz to determine age the other day and it said I was 26. Who am I to argue. ;):joyfull:

I can't believe how much I already got done today! Mount laundry is conquered, I watched last night's OUAT, Monday weights done, 4 miles already walked, breakfast cooked (sausage and peppers salad, sans sausage LOL) and eaten and best of all the first 5 days of our trip planned. I love my dh but he had to go back to work

I guess that's the most accurate description. Beef substitute:confused: It doesn't taste like beef at least I don't think it does. But then again I'm not sure I remember what beef tastes like. I also like cauliflower "steaks". Just take a large cauliflower slice into slices between 1 and 1 1/2 inches brush with olive oil and grill.

That's right up my alley. Cauliflower "steak"!:hungry:

SIL likes home holidays. I would go out in a heartbeat, if I could talk everyone into it. One thing we do though, is have Jammie day for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Much more relaxed, and with my elastic sleep pants, I can eat more.!;)

My boys already have Thanksgiving planned! I'm doing most of the cooking and we're having an early dinner as they like to go out Black Friday shopping. None of us really has much more to buy this year, but I usually get a good deal on sweaters at Penny and my youngest has to get something nice for his bestest buddy. I have no idea how going out that night ever turned into a tradition for them:hilarious:
