You are invited. All the talk of the eclipse on Monday got me to look
when the next on will happen. Well, it is in August of 2045, just a bit
before my 100th Birthday. To make it perfect, the path of totality is
over much of Florida and my house is near center. It will be perfect for
a party

https://nationaleclipse.com/maps/map_08122045.html

The party planning has started. Everyone will have a name tag since we
may not recognize or remember each other at that point. Especially in
the dark of an eclipse, but we may be living in the dark anyway.

Foods served will be easily digestible and have vitamin supplements of
your choice on the side. Glucerna and vodka punch of course.

There will be party favors of course. Six-pack of Ensure, a box of
Depends and other useful items.

We can play games, however, Hide and Seek will not be allowed as that
would probably require police dogs to do the seeking.

Suggestions welcome.

You, or your caretaker, should RSVP by July of 2045.

I'll be there. I'll bring my own oxygen tank and urine bag. I'm hoping to
bring queen quown, but she'll need lots of attendants, so it may not happen.

Since it won't have a lot of capacity to bring stuff, be sure to let me
know ahead if you need a walker. I'll make arrangements with a local
DME to have them available.

If I can still throw my leg over a bike it's not likely I'll be
needing a walker . What would be a real gas is if I showed up on the
1939 flathead . It's kick start only (and still in pieces right now) .

That's amazing! Sounds like your fruit garden is a symphony of blooms. My
envy is real – especially for those close-to-ripening strawberries!
Thinning the fruit sounds like the wise choice, but hey, who wouldn't be
tempted by a harvest that big? Maybe some creative pie crust reinforcements
are in order?

Just a little question about the dress code; will

Frustrated Passenger Pees In Cup, Dumps It On Flight Attendant After Not Being Allowed To Disembark After Landing

by Gary Leff on April 7, 2024

https://viewfromthewing.com/frustrated-passenger-pees-in-cup-dumps-it-on-flight-attendant-after-not-being-allowed-to-disembark-after-landing/

"On an Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to Sydney, a passenger became frustrated during a delay getting off the aircraft on arrival. He urinated in a cup – and spilled it on a flight attendant.

The man, who was sitting next to a mother and her 15-year-old daughter, exposed himself and let loose at least three times. Holly, the mother, reported feeling “humiliated” by the experience, stating that it made her daughter lose confidence in flying alone, ruining her school holiday plans. She said,

"So yeah he pulled his naked penis out next to us at least three times. That just makes my skin crawl.

…And because I guess we had moved he then got up after us and was carrying another full cup. I guess his intention was to pour it out in the toilet. Then as he was walking, he was obviously quite drunk by this point, he spilled a good amount of his urine onto the flight attendant at the end of the plane as well, because he tripped..."

The woman complained to the airline and received back a generic acknowledgment and – after attention focused on this incident – a gift basket..."

LOLZ...!!!

That includes Velcro closures on tennis shoes. No fumbling with buttons

Probably others here as well. A shelf will be set up for them.

Show up! Your bullet-riddled body will be the main source of attraction.
Well...that and the cops and governor showing up to congratulate the
marksman. ;)

These are interesting times. I was just looking at our regional health
unit's statistics on Covid infections. Just a few years ago stats like
that would have been broken down by gender, simply male or female. Now
there are 6 categories; Women/girl, Man/boy, Non-binary, Transgender,
two spirited and unknown. Of course I had to look at the stats and
filtered for the non-binary, transgender and two spirited, and there
were no cases reported among them. I find it hard to belief that there
were no Covid cases among those groups, so I am guessing that it
suddenly wasn't very important for them to identify in this case, and I
found that odd since they seem to find it so important to identify in so
many other situations.

Perhaps not. I just saw this morning that the oldest man dies this week
at 114. We can make it!

But I'm not a communist, unless you call everybody you disagree with a
communist. I guess you do :)

Lovely, did you make it?

When I read Dave Smith' bigotry, I always become very woke in protest.
It only lasts 5 minutes, but still.

Some of us might. I probably won't be one of them, but I have had some
long livers in my family. My maternal grandmother died at 95 but her
father lived to be about 105. My mother's sister died at 98. My paternal
grandmother died a few weeks before her 100th birthday and my father's
oldest brother died about 6 months before 100. So I do have some long
life genes. My paternal grandfather died at 56 (cancer) and an uncle
died of a heart attack at 49, and an aunt at 46.
Thanks for the invite but I will wait to RSVP formally.

My sister is 81. So far, that is the longest in three generations.

I'm holding off on seating arrangements so far but will practice making
the prune cookies Joan suggested.
