[quote=MidwesternBookWorm;25717191]Good morning, all, and welcome to Monday! I hope your weekend was a good one, and that you are starting the week energized by the chance to recharge.
Thank you! My weekend was marvelous! I managed to get the front 4 acres mowed before the rains returned but also managed to get a nasty sunburn from my lack of forethought to put on sunscreen. Yeah, I know. A little restraint from my headlong rush to be outside and a bit of brain power would have made it a perfect weekend.

Favorite go to remedy for pain: My heating pad or having my Pit Bull cuddle up with me. I have arthritis in my lower back so on a particularly bad pain day, I lay down and Ms. Alice the Pit Bull jumps up and curls up against my lower back..ahhhhhhhh. Last time I had recourse to pain remedy: As a matter of fact, Ms. Alice was curled up against my back just last night..sure saves on the electric bill and she is so comforting. When was the last time remedy didn't work and what did I do: There is always a time when pain is frustrating and won't go away and that's when you kinda understand that sometimes things just ARE..and you grin and bear it. I have a permanent numbness in my left leg that was suppose to "go away" and it never has..the alternative..I am alive. Had an upper thoracic aneurysm, was put on a respirator that had a tube that went into my left leg..nerve damage. It just "IS THAT WAY" and I am alive to tell you all about it..that's the benefit.
Lemonade stand? Is the Pope Catholic?? Of course we had a lemonade stand, and a cake sale stand, cookie sale stand, kool aid stand. We would talke all our profits and give them to a different charity each time. I don't think we made over $10.00 but we sure had fun. Have I ever bought some sweet-tart lemonade from a stand? Oh my goodness, yes. And it was beyond sweet and tart. The kids from down the road put a stand up right on the corner of my property so I HAD TO have some of that lip smackin, chin quivering, eye watering stuff! LOL
What radio station did I listen to? Well, I am in Connecticut..the greater New Haven area so we listened to WPOP and Wolf Man Jack!! Who else! What music format did it play? Rock n' Roll of course What format of music does current fav station play? Sorry..die hard Rock n' Roll fan. WPLR
My question for Quintessa is this, What kids games do you remember playing when kids actually went outside to play? Hide n Seek when it got dark? Red Rover? Dodge Ball? Hopscotch? Jump Rope.....sigh...those were the days!
