Stray Thoughts 2.0

[Cooking Goddess]

When I was a kid, I sometimes had to decide whether to play or to read.

When I was a young adult, I sometimes had to choose between going dancing or maybe skiing.

Now that I'm old, I need to decide whether to make an appointment with my PCP to look at my shoulder or call the gastroenterologist to reschedule my appointment for once-a-decade scopey thingy.

How times have changed...

Why is it that you roast a meat (chicken, beef, etc) but you bake a fish?

Cod is kind of expensive nowadays. I bought Zaterain fish coating online, for baked cod. Yummy.

You drive on a parkway but park on a driveway.

I went to YouTube, and under "Recommended," one of the videos was titled, "How Long Does a Severed Head Remain Conscious."

Why would YouTube's computers think I would want to watch that?

Don't try and figure it out. A site that uploads and stores 10,000 videos every day.

Long enough to correctly say, "Taylor Ham"...

I wouldn't expect a severed head to be thinking clearly, so you may be right.

I guess this "stray thoughts" thread is the place to post this.


Some of you know that I belong to a group of long time friends called "The Lunch Bunch". We've lunched together every Tuesday for more years than I can count.

Thought I'd share a little of what it's like..


Lunch With Girlfriends


Elaine’s vertigo has never been worse
Kay can’t recall where she left her purse
Rhonda’s about to replace her knees
Linda’s breathing is tinged with a wheeze
Donna's left boob has a troublesome lump
Diane’s on her third trip to take a dump
Lorraine’s husband can’t remember a thing
Nine years a widow, Marge still wears her ring
Marlene is dealing with another UTI
Sally’s giving a hearing aid another try
Marie has decided she can’t drive at night
Sharon still wears clothes two sizes too tight
They’ve been through divorces and babies and wakes
They do for each other whatever it takes
They’ve already buried Marcia and Kate
And truthfully, Lizzie’s not looking so great
So whenever they can, they get out to eat
Open bottles of wine and forget their sore feet
There’s laughing and crying and letting down guards
And when the bill comes, there’s ten credit cards
So here’s to the waiters who keep orders straight
And to the places that let lunches run three hours late
And here’s to the girlfriends, those near and those far
Here's to the girlfriends, you know who you are!!!

Great, Kayelle!

Fantastic Kayelle. Well said and it is very sweet!

May I send this to my sisters?

Thanks, and I love the poem too. One of my "Lunch Bunch" members sent it to me. After a search, I see that the author is Kathy O'Malley. It seems she must have a group a lot like mine with different names.

 

[dragnlaw]

Well, let's raise a glass to all the "Lunch Bunch" 'es around the world.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Love it, Kayelle!

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Cute poem, Kayelle. I used to have a group like that, but it was monthly and in the evening. I miss those days. Time to get back home and regroup!

 

[Cheryl J]

Love the poem, Kay! There's even a "Kay" in there. That's really something that you all have kept this Tuesday Lunch Bunch going for so many years.

 

[Kayelle]

Love the poem, Kay! There's even a "Kay" in there. That's really something that you all have kept this Tuesday Lunch Bunch going for so many years.

Haa, and this Kay has also forgot where she left her purse.


Our Bunch is Faye, Kelly, Pat, Vickie, Barbara, Barby, and me.
Sadly, we have buried Shirley, Annie, and Cathy.
Yes we're all sisters in our hearts.

 

[Caslon]

Well, let's raise a glass to all the "Lunch Bunch" 'es around the world.

I'd like to infiltrate that bunch. I still mean to.

 

[dragnlaw]

I'd like to infiltrate that bunch. I still mean to.

You don't need to infiltrate, you are more than welcome!
But you must be wearing a pink skirt and sweater ensemble. Skirt to be just below the knee. Pill box hat to match your purse - your colour choice. And Fire Engine Red lipstick.

and as a newcomer to the group - you will "host' (as in pay for) that first luncheon for all.
