    What kind of eater are you?

    Omnivore. I like basic simple foods- meats and vegetables. I've never been much for sweets. Only occasionally dark chocolate or for a dinner dessert something like cake, cookies or vanilla ice cream in small amounts. Foods I dislike due to taste or texture: Oysters, mussels, calamari, liver...

    What Good/Bad habits Will You Start/End for NewYears?

    Nothing special about New Year's for me either. I watch the Count Down from Time's Square and see entertainers I know nothing about. Dick Clark and the singers from my time are gone. I just keep on keepin' on. "I watched the Ball drop...can I go to bed now?"

    Any song lyrics that stick in your mind and speak deeply to you?

    Two songs that have always had personal meaning to me were Come Sail Away-Styx and now that I am older Dream On- Aerosmith. I always sing along with them. Many years ago, there was a very tall cedar tree in a wilderness park that could be seen across the bay. It stood out from the other trees...

    How do you feel about the holidays?

    It was always a happy time for me until my parents passed in 2013. Just the three of us and a couple of friends nearby that felt like extended family. The cooking all day with my mom, the meal, giving each other gifts, and I loved the decorating and lights. Now there is no one left and my house...

    Owls are Adorable

    No. My small camera doesn't zoom that much. It is a photostock picture. Looks just like his head when he sits in top of the pine tree and looks at me though. One was spotted in a park about 5 miles away living in a big oak and the local news covered the finding. People gathered in groups to see...

    Would anyone please listen to this song with me?

    Here is a link to read about that particular World Road Trip song and who wrote it. Happy song! Sarazino (Ecuador / Algeria)

    Owls are Adorable

    Owls are beautiful. I have imitated the little Screech Owls and had them fly down and sit in front of me on the ground. Found a nest of Barn Owls in the hollow fork of a tree trunk in the yard once. I left a ladder up to the nest so I could watch them grow and it never bothered them at all. I...

    Strange and weird films from long ago

    The first drive-in movie I saw was The Mummy-1959. My parents took me with them when I was only two at that time. They probably thought I wouldn't be old enough to get it, but I did. Two other movies that come to mind when I was older that I thought strange were The Hand- starring Michael Caine...

    Should ask her why she thinks that. Enquiring minds want to know! :rolleyes:

    When do parents stop acting like parents?

    I think they all do that. It's rather like the... in the beginning the Gods created man in their own image thing. People are that way too. The child is like a piece of clay to be molded into the image they want. I don't go for that. Never did. Sometimes things need to be aired. Call it arguing...
