    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't read a lot but when I do I like to have a book in hand. The electronic form puts me off.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    And quite a few of those things people believe to be causation are actually correlation.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've read that dementia is basically diabetes of the brain. I don't remember the mechanism, but maybe it has something to do with the damage excessive glucose does to all tissues of the body or something like that. I wish I could cite it but I don't remember where I heard it. At any rate, any...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Christmas. This couple does this every year. The other friend probably does feel the way you described, and I'm probably overreacting because in the past people have questioned my enthusiasm. It's not that I don't want to see people. It's that chronic pain limits me. People know this, but...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm irritated. A friend is having a Christmas party tonight and I don't want to go because I've been sick for 2 weeks, my neck is really bothering me (enough that I need to do traction) and I have a ton of laundry to do because it's Sunday and I need to prep for the week. A mutual friend knows...

    What Do They All Think Of Your Vintage?

    I don't follow sports at all. I have probably served some of those players before but wouldn't have had any idea who they were, which must have been refreshing for them.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't wish anyone anything because frankly I'm not going to suddenly adopt a phrase I don't use 50 weeks out of the year. My mouth gets confused. But if anyone wishes me a happy anything I say "Thank you!" I already say that all day long at work, so it rolls off the tongue.

    What Do They All Think Of Your Vintage?

    She didn't know what she had! I can't find a guy who shares my worldview, much less likes vintage. I HATE jeans, athletic shoes, and Packer gear. No imagination whatsoever.

    Christmas jackets, coats and all things warming

    I just bought myself a sweater coat with a faux fur collar. It's to go under my overcoat, though.

    How often do you dress vintage/vintage inspired?

    Because of my job I wear midi skirts that recall the '30s, but I end up in riding boots for comfort since I'm on my feet all day (even though I have cute repro shoes), and t-shirts because I'm still in the process of converting my wardrobe and I have no blouses for winter. I'm in work clothes...

    vintage for teenage girls

    The boys might be perplexed or unimpressed now, but when you're older real men will appreciate a woman who dresses like a lady and has confidence in her own style.

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    Taking my makeup palette over to the warmer/earthier side, once I realized I have a peach-yellow undertone to my skin. I can do purples and berries, but they have to be more red than blue. Most of my red lippies are on the orange or brown side rather than blue-reds.

    What's for Dinner?

    A quesadilla. I haven't been overly hungry today due to lots of protein this morning and fiber (beans in the chili) at lunch.

    What coffee or tea did you drink today?

    My double shot in the morning is Bustelo. My coffee the rest of the day today was <gasp> instant decaf. A girl's gotta do....

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm not picky about the brand, but it has to be pump, not steam. I feel you get more coffee essence (?) out of the grounds. I've had a couple of Mr. Coffees and they do fine. My DeLonghi exploded one day. The filter basket flew off and water poured out the bottom. That one was the more...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm in between these two extremes. I do like my mocha just so, but I don't want to go out for it. Coffee is a solitary experience for me. That's why I've owned espresso/cappuccino makers for years.

    This or That

    sauna--had the pleasure of having one in my last apartment complex, also an indoor pool I might need to move..hm... OK, I'm on a theme here, but peppermint ice cream or mint chip?

    This or That

    Stolen Speaking of winter flavors, peppermint or wintergreen?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My doctor supports my coffee drinking, but that's because I now have a slightly increased risk of dementia and it's supposed to fight that, according to some studies he's looked at. I usually do a caffeinated double shot in the morning and decaf the rest of the day. Decaf is still a slight...
