Well, I'd like to think that I am. :D The truth is that they keep me young, and they give me a reason to have fun. My mother told me the same thing about us when we were kids, and now she says that she stays young by being around her grandkids. She also says that it's about your own personal point o...

My grandmother used to make Jello with fruit in it for us as well, I've tried it with grapes, strawberries, and cherries, and they were good. She also made it with nuts, but that was disgusting.

By the way, does anyone here remember eating Jello with Marshmallows in it? My grandmother used to make it for us, it was usually awful, but sometimes it was good.

I'm not a fan of marshmallows That's probably because of the emotional trauma you went through after you witnessed a 100 foot tall Marshmallow Man rampage through the city streets, and then blow up in front of you 40 years ago. :lol: Seriously though, I love marshmallows, particularly in S'mores, b...

I'm always late to the party. :lol: Well, I hope that anyone that celebrated both holidays had fun. I had ordered some Star Wars Easter eggs back in March for the kids, but they didn't show up until May 3rd, so it was good timing for the holiday. We dressed up as different characters than usual this...

Same here, but I think my wife and I have more fun than the kids.

Well, you can't argue with that.

I have only respect for the brave men and women that serve in the different branches of our armed forces, it is because of their dedication and sacrifice that the rest of us can enjoy our lives. Your husband is absolutely right with his opinion on the current gun laws, they give the advantage to the...

Murf - While I agree with everything you mentioned about the positive technological advancements that have come from war, I was speaking specifically about the unnecessary destruction and death that comes with war when I posted the lyrics from that song. There is no arguing that after WWII our count...

War - The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. - Most often assumed to have been said by Thomas Jefferson, though it isn't a direct quote from him. War - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. - lyrics from the song War by Edwin Starr. Utopia is a bad word... just ask Mr. Rabbit. Someone here mi...

I had previously posted advice on how to promote your book, but it was at the bottom of a really long post, so you might have missed it. I have reposted it below for you. I have a friend that has had her books published, and she told me that even though your publisher will promote your book, that th...

My grandaunt has a devious sense of humor, I think at her age she just doesn't care what people think so she just says what she wants to, so she even tells dirty jokes in front of the kids, thankfully they have no clue what she is talking about. :lol: I've been tall and skinny my whole life, but lik...

Thanks Murf. :) I know that we will definitely be going back next year, as the family will be there to celebrate my grandaunt's big birthday. She told us that even if she doesn't make it, that she still wants us to get together to celebrate the occasion so she knows that everyone is happy, and she s...

It looks like I missed some great conversations while I wasn't here, I hope that everyone here has been doing well. :D I've been busy with life, we just got back from Florida, we were there for 2 weeks and it was our first family vacation since the pandemic. The main reason we went was to celebrate ...

Happy Birthday Andy!

If you don't have plans for later, would you like to join us for a game of wake the dead?
