I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn

I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.

I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.

In response to "New Year so far."

weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.

Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.

In response to "School Days"

Watching grandchildren choose as they age is so interesting because society has changed so much since I was a child.

In response to "All alone "

The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

In response to "All alone "

With the cold temperatures we've been having this far, I suspect that person wouldn't be leaving their house.

I don't know about you, but I've spent a week with no other contact, I found it very enlightening because I discovered how capable I was of doing things myself. This was after my divorce and my ex telling me that I would never go camping or kayaking without him, I was too stupid to do it on my own. I felt like I had a point to prove to myself. Unlike Hanks in the movie, in the back of my head I knew I could reach out and someone would come but I didn't give in I persevered and made it. I burned dinner once, over-turned my kayak once and the tent fell done on me the first night but ultimately I really enjoyed the silence.

I'm glad you're able to gather with your family. It's so hard to get everyone together these days. Hug that grandson tightly!

In response to "Changes "

Yes it’s certainly an interesting time, but watching myself deteriorate each day is not something I relish.

In response to "Changes "

WE change and ageing is a kind of shock to the brain. I find it kind of interesting to age since no one ever told me what it would be like. I will be 80 before the month of January is over. Looking forward to January thaw if we get one.

#1901904 by Lyn's a Witchy Woman

1969 – The last issue of the “Saturday Evening Post” was published. It was revived in 1971 as a quarterly publication and eventually six times a year.

What was your favorite publication as a child/teen. Newspaper comics, perhaps, or a magazine, etc? Does it still exist? What was the draw for you?

When I was a very small child in the UK, it was wartime. Money was scarce and there was certainly none to spare for comics. But after the war perhaps around 1950 my brothers and I were allowed to have comics each week. These would be delivered to our house with the newspaper.
There were two which I remember so well, The Dandy and The Beano. I can remember all the characters in the comics, two I especially remember; Desperate Dan and Dennis the menace.
Sometimes there’d be a free gift included to be fought over. At Christmas time these comic books were published as an annual, a hardback book which would get read over and over, many times during the year.
I don’t think they are being published any more, and probably wouldn’t appeal to today’s generation of children, they’d be too tame.
