Bell Pepper Love

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 31 Jan

Unexpected

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 2 Jan

Last year, my mom was agreeable to taking senior tai chi classes (if I take them with her). Benefits would include having a routine for health, but I also thought it would be good for her sociability. Two office ladies who...

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 30 Dec

The little park where my mom and I take tai chi class has parties for seniors throughout the year. I have tried to encourage my mom to go (and I would go with her), but her typical answer was "nah". A holiday potluck was...

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 15 Nov

A cashier at a particular grocery store I go to is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He is an "older" gentleman - always so chipper and polite . His line is often the shortest . . . it's NOT because he's fast....

Honest Writing

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 12 Nov

My friend was once a part of the online dating scene. She was quite conservative though. She'd try to get to know men through much back and forth email communication before she'd even consider meeting them. Good strategy, I...

Feet on the Kitchen Table

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 19 Aug

I don't recall my parents ever teaching me this, but I know not to put my feet on the kitchen table. Besides it being bad manners, it's just gross. One year, we went to Thanksgiving at my sister in law's house. After the table...

Sending thoughts . . . Telepathy?

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 1 Aug

The other day the kids and I took a drive. We happened to pass by Hubby's old workplace from over 30 years ago. I pointed it out the building to them which by now was occupied by another business. It was a small side note to...

A bit forward, do you think?

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 23 Jul

My daughter met this guy in her 5 week summer class at a local community college. It was nice that she had someone to walk around with and talk to after class before I came to pick her up. He'd walk her up to our car door each...

Seeing my older cousin recently, I had forgotten that my love for letter writing began in my childhood with her. I don't remember what we wrote about, but it was quite exciting to receive an envelope addressed to me in the...

Staying Young

much2say @much2say (56909) • Los Angeles, California 2 Jan 24

I was an adult figure skater and had many adult friends who were rink rats like me. We practically lived at the ice skating rinks. One of the things we would often say was that skating kept us young. That being at the rink,...
