A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Till Then
The Mills Brothers
(doo-doo-doom) (doo-doo-doom) (doo-doo-doom)
(rep-reddah-rep)
(doo-doo-doom) (doo-doo-doom) (doo-doo-doom)
(rep-reddah-rep)
Till then, my darling, please wait for me
Till then, no matter when it may be
One day I know I'll be home again
Please wait (till) till then
Our dreams will live though we are apart
Our love will always stay in our hearts
Till then, when of the world will be free
Please wait for me
Although there are oceans we must cross and mountains that we must climb
I know every gain must have a loss, so pray that our loss is nothing but time
Till then, we'll dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory
Till then, when I will hold you again
Please wait till then (ooh)

"Well, yes, I am, and thank you for saving my life."
"You're welcome"

Is that from a movie line?
An adult Easter egg hunt is great fun. We did it one year using the plastic eggs filled with candies. Avatars with Easter eggs all different varieties sounds fun!!!
In time for Easter, calling all interested caregivers!
From the convenience of your home, search out the best EASTER EGG
AVATAR! Post it. Chocolate eggs, huge eggs, baskets of eggs, chocolate bunnies too---Let's see it here.....or on Easter April 16th.
That was my mother's birthday.
What is your tradition now, and how is that different from years past, or when you grew up? Used to be a favorite tradition......
Love every song in Phantom and LesMis and see them every chance I get.
Every blue moon I make 'em,but it's very expensive.
Low-carb, crunchy and salty - satisfies that munchie need.
Use cracker cut slices of cheese or slice your own, but they need to be uniform slices about 2" x 2" square and less than 1/4" thick. The pre-made cracker cuts you buy in the store are perfect for this, even though they're a little on the pricey side. Cheddar, swiss, pepper jack - all work well for this. You can even use the deluxe American cheese (but not the stuff in the individual plastic wrappers - must be the deluxe or it just burns).
Lay them out on parchment paper on a baking sheet, about 1-2" apart so they don't melt together. Bake at 375* until they stop bubbling. It's ok for them to be slightly brown, but you don't want them to be burnt. If the middle is at all soft or soggy, they're not done. When done, they'll be completely crisp all the way through. Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature or in the fridge - your choice.
Careful...they're addictive!
Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.[3]
Thank you for the poem and joke. I needed that tonight. I'm still tearful tonight, so I needed this thread to cheer me up.
I think my contribution for favorite things is a simple chocolate sundae with peanuts from Dairy Queen. Its one of my favorites. And reading or watching a good romantic comedy.
It reminds me of that joke about the man stranded on a desert island. He prays to the Lord for help. A little time goes by and then:
Along comes a big yacht. He turns it away and says thats okay. My Lord will help me.
Then along comes a helicopter. Same thing, No, my Lord will provide.
This scenario happens a few times. Finally, in anguish, the man cries, Lord, you said you would help me. Where are you, my Lord?
All of a sudden he hears this big booming voice. "What do you mean? I sent a yacht, and a helicopter etc. etc. "
