A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
I have cats. I always heard, dogs have families. Cats have sevants. My cats think they own the house...I just let them believe it. LOL!
And I have four of them!
Dogs have masters
Cats have servants
Cat are better than everything!
My bird is a fine companion!
Yep, being loved unconditionally sets so many things right.
I call my dog my third man.
I love my puppies too. :)
Do you know why they boil the maple sap outside (maybe with a roof and some walls). Because boiling it in an indoor kitchen will peel wallpaper off the walls and leave cabinets and all surfaces very sticky! A neighbor, born in Maine and still living here, said her husband did it the first time. I don't think she ever forgave him.
If you've never had maple "butter" (no butter, just syrup processed to a spreadable consistency) you should try it if you can, when spread on an english muffin or crumpet your taste buds will do a happy dance.
Hubs buys Blue Agave syrup, from a cactus, he says.
I asked hubs if he ever took sap and made syrup when he was a child growing up on his grandmother's farm in Oregon.
He (knowingly) said, "Everyone KNOWS that the maple only grows in the Eastern states!"
After he FORGOT he had to work yesterday, after (knowingly) saying he had the day off, and I did not check.......
Well, I decided to stop believing everything he says. So I checked online....
"Although the well-known sugar maple only grows in the eastern U.S., a variety of Pacific Northwest trees are also potential sources of sap for making syrup. ... You see, any species of maple (as well as hickory, birch, alder, butternut, and black walnut trees) will produce sap which .."
I've got this! I am on it! I do not have a need to be always right, however, I cannot stand it when I am constantly MISINFORMED! Interferes how I have to choose to jump in the car and drive him at the last minute.
Guessing this should have been on the brat thread.
But it is a good thing that I am on to him.......
Whether you are in the midst of winter doldrums or are stuck in a concrete jungle you can go to YouTube and search for the bird songs of all your favourites, it's especially fun when you open multiple tabs and get a whole chorus going😁
Be careful and keep it under control as it invasive.
