Life is good as long as one has scissors handy to cut open bags they no longer can pull apart as directed. We have three scissors placed around for just this reason. I have trouble with some cereal bags and potato chip bags. Well, not so much with opening the chips bags, but having them rip suddenly and shower the chips all over the place.

I'm 71 and I'm losing strength. Also, I no longer consider ripping open a potato chip bag without spewing chips all over the place the exciting challenge I used to consider it to be, not to mention bending over to pick them up is tough. Still, though, life is good.

Yep l agree life is good. I stopped picking things up a long time ago. Course l had to yesterday as the spoonful of corned beef hash hit the floor. It is not a good thing to step on. So l had to clean it up right away. Went all over too. Even under the stove.

You shoulda called Snots over from the club, Tru. He'd a eaten it fer ya.
Have you ever had ham hash? My mother used to make it when we were kids. Out would come that hand cranked grinder that attached to the edge of the table and I'd get ready for a treat. That was me favorite dish. I haven't had it since the early 60', but I can still taste it.

Didn't think of that Geezer.
No l haven't had ham hash but l do remember those grinders that attached to the edge of the counter or table. I tried using one but the little threads of gristle would plug it up so quickly l gave up.

Spring is on its way here in the northeast. Yesterday I saw a chipmunk and a starling. Today I think I heard a red winged blackbird. Life is good.

You were just waiting for that one weren't you Geezer? I still haven't seen any humming or singing birds. I really miss mocking birds, none in this area that l have heard.

Depending on the vote , it can improve life is good or can remain troubled or get worse.

Ah, spring is coming. Geese are flying over, headed north this time. I've even seen a few robins. Oh yes, and mud is back, as are skunks. Life is good.

Having plenty of time on my hands I took some old journals and shredded them all yesterday took me a couple of hours to do about five or six of them I guess what a mess I made on the carpet too but that's okay I have time to get the vacuum out and vacuum it up. Today I took all the cards out of my wallet and clean my wallet with one of those sanitary wipes and cleaned each and every card let it dry before I put them back in. This would be a good time for women to clean their purses out to good Heavens I'm sure they find things in there they didn't even know they had. So life is good in that we have been given time to think time to catch up on things that are busy lives don't give us time to do that type of thing life is good that way. I'm grateful for what I have

Governor Cuomo is being hailed as quite a leader and he has turned into one but again failed Us in the beginning as so he failed many others have. As late as March 17th he talked about not shutting down or Sheltering in place because it would hurt the economy sounds familiar? And put young people with older people that was a good thing to think about but Sheltering in place had to be done and it should have been done much sooner and New York wouldn't be in as bad a shape as it is in my opinion and that I believe is true of everywhere there's a big outbreak look at New Orleans their excuse for having the Mardi Gras is what no one told us well Common Sense should have told you not to have a bunch of people like that but you were worried about your economy I bet instead of the people and now look I know it's looking in the rear-view mirror but it does seem to be a lesson hard learned by the leaders and not just in the Republican party I must admit.
This was to have appeared in another thread about things I think about.
