    Seniors, would this be a good joke to share at the Senior Center?

    When guys' melons start turning red, or they have frost on their melons, is it time to start wearing hats? This is not intended as a dirty joke. I'm beginning to think I'm the most conservative person in the Senior Category...like maybe I should have named my avatar "Betty White."

    How can we tell if we're in a casual cafe or an unscale restaurant?

    Can be a restaurant or another business (in case we might be explaining things to someone from another planet, & we need to be prepared for the future). For instance, It's casual if there's a fry-cook instead of a chef. It's casual if both the fry-cook & the waiter wear backwards baseball...

    Seniors, how can we tell if we're in a casual cafe or an upscale restaurant?

    Can be a restaurant or another business (in case we might be explaining things to someone from another planet, & we need to be prepared for the future). For instance, It's casual if there's a fry-cook instead of a chef. It's casual if both the fry-cook & the waiter wear backwards baseball...

    Is Miss Manners right, that it's rude even to suggest to guests that they leave

    their shoes at the door? According to Miss Manners, it's rude to tell guests that it's the custom in your household. After all, she says, it's not part of Western culture. Do you leave your shoes at the door when you enter your house? Why? Religious, family, or cultural custom? Keeping the...

    Is Las Vegas Dancer Barbie more exciting than Pre-Vet Med Barbie?

    In the Career Barbie Series, Pre-Vet Med Barbie looks very wholesome in her denim skirt with her bandaged horse & kitten on the scale, waiting to be weighed. It didn't take long to realize that nearby Fairytastic Barbie, with gorgeous purple hair, purple costume, & gigantic purple wings, looks...

    Has important knowledge been learned then lost to civilization?

    Do you agree with the Christian Bible when it says, "There's nothing new under the sun"? Do holy texts from other religions say something similar?

    Do you have any family heirlooms in your garden (besides you)?

    I have orange tiger lilies that I brought back one fall after my father's death many years ago. They're the same ones I remember from when I was 4 or 5 years old. They bloom every year around late July to early Aug. The hummingbirds love them, & so do I.

    what is a good website that will give me all of the information on the four ancient

    I didn't know about 4. I just know about Harappa & Mojenjo Daro. There's some fairly good info just from Wikipedia. I think I googled sites once & got good info that way, too. Sorry, but I don't think I saved the addresses. I have a kids' book on ancient civilizations, too, that I love, &...

    What do you think of Chevy Chevelles?

    I always thought they looked cheaply made, but they are considered classics, & the 1970 Chevelles might use less gas than other classics.

    any good books you recommend?

    The Madonnas of Leningrad is good. Also, The Stand by Stephen King. The Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card is excellent, but that's several books. Whatever you're considering, better get it approved by the teacher first. I might add some more titles if you don't close this off too...

    If you were uot hiking and you stumbled across a strange cave?

    No, I'd be afraid. Also, I'd think I was dreaming. Cave, where? On campus? In my garden? Could be in the park or in the historical cemetery near my house where people hike or tour or walk their dogs. But with either of those, then I'd be hiking. The main thing is that I'd want flashlights &...

    In a gas station, I go to the front of the line when the 1st driver is

    "I'm sorry that you were annoyed," is what I'd say. I don't think you did anything wrong. He was just in a sarcastic mood & would have found something to get sarcastic about, if not at the gas station, then somewhere that day. Of course, some people always act a certain way. It's like...
