Dorie’s Different Reality

Pyrate and I went to Denny’s for breakfast yesterday.
We haven’t done that for quite a while. Sometimes it’s nice to have somebody else cook for me! Imagine my surprise when I found out I’m now eligible for the Senior Menu! Most restaurants give you too much food (and too many calories- another reason to […]

This will be the anthem for me. Every time I hear it I remember where I was working. A good sized office with a cheesy sound system turned to the FM rock station all day. I heard this one all day long. Never noticed before that Mick has “dancer’s legs” - his thigh bones are […]

Presenting the wonderful English born international superstar, who married a Frenchman, singing auf Deutsch- Petula Clark! She shows up on oldies shows now and again and she’s soooooo cool!

There’s fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on”

Sometimes technology doesn’t impress me much. I may have mentioned that we get broadcast TV. We’ve had cable at various times. Great to have more choices of infomercials! I guess we got rid of it altogether after Duchess left for college. […]

You’ve probably got this one in your e-mail. By the very talented “author unknown” I thought it would be fun to vary it a bit.

Okay, we have our hair rolled and teased just right for the Natural Look. Give it a spritz of that VO5 with Miral.
Now we can go joyriding. I cannot tell you the last time I saw one of these! I gotta hand it to Chrysler for going for a market. I’m guessing that time frame […]

I went to JoAnn Fabrics the other day, and they were stocking the Fall things! I just mention it in case you need a maple leaf wreath right now. It’s just the way the retail world works- three months ahead. You can get excellent deals on party ware, leis for your next luau, etc. right […]

Not quite, but that’s what Friday was on The Mickey Mouse Club show when I was a wee’un. Sometimes Bobby would tap dance. I can’t remember, was it Jimmy or Roy that did rope tricks? Often they had special guest kid performers; like a 13 yr old ventriloquist-stuff like that. I tell ya- it was […]

First in honor of Tim Russert’s untimely passing yesterday, a link to brush you up on the warning signals for a heart attack and what to do: HeartAttack
I heard a disturbing statistic that nearly half the time a person’s first heart attack is their LAST heart attack- as in, See Ya Around The […]

I like to plan. All my plans make the future look bright.
I found a site called FindYourSpot.com. You take a comprehensive quiz and it tells you the best place to retire. Questions about lifestyle, leisure time, your sports interests and lets you prioritize. I would like affordable housing (well yeah), some access to the […]
