Socrates Club: Comfort Food
Socrates Club: Food
So this is the 5th discussion this month on food. We simply must get someone else to set the agendas. Dougal seems preoccupied.
So . . . food. This morning we were discussing comfort food. The very core of our being can be comforted by a food familiar to us from our childhood. Something that ALWAYS tastes right.
There was a vote for a McDonald's Cheeseburger or Filet of Fish.
Someone else said, Chocolate Milkshake and fries OR hot fudge sundae
Three votes for Macaroni and Cheese and then I reminded them of Tuna Casserole, which we haven't had in a very long time . . . . and there were many oooooos and aaahhhhs . . .
That's the power of tuna casserole.

Being old and wise.
I know that I am old and wise, but I do not understand things sometimes.
I know what I experience. What I see. What I hear. What I feel . . . .
I remember.
Sometimes I get in conversations and it's like I'm the only person talking, that what I'm talking about never happened . . . and I am unsettled.
I know I am old and wise . . . but I am not senile yet.
My stomach hurts this morning. Maybe this old and wise thing is for the birds.

cold spring day
I am very sad inside today.
~~sigh~~
Nobody has been home and it's lonely.
~~sigh~~
I don't feel loved.
~~sigh~~
I don't feel cherished.
~~sigh~~
I don't even feel real today.
~~sigh~~
It is hard to love . . . because when they forget about you . . . you are so very very much alone.

snow!
It is snowing today.
~~heavy sigh~~
It's supposed to be spring.
Daylight savings time has begun . . . and we still have snow.
I am discouraged.
We found out this weekend that my older brother is 80 years old. So that makes me 76. I don't really feel that old. At least not on most days.
I do feel old some times.
