NO you know you are getting old when you have to get glasses with Progressive lens 

i know i have to quint at everything.  i am beyond getting old. now i’m getting the shovel out.

well joe

did you get cataract surgery yet ?

See, I get excited over the little every day things! There's always something to get excited about, even if it's waking up early every morning to go for a fantastic walk or if it is going to the beach, or baking cake pops, or hearing the cat meow at you to say hi! I get excited over many things! It's great to get excited! I find the little things to get excited about! 

Whatever floats your boat haha!

Our company supplied Plantronics headsets. They work, but I wouldn't praise it much higher than that.

@6of1_halfdozenofother, not yet.  I was going to this evening, but I got wrapped up in other things. 

I'm looking on Amazon, and there's so many choices. I would either want to connect bluetooth or have it wired to a Windows laptop.  What do you think?

I'm either thinking these:  https://www.amazon.com/Jeecoo-Headset-Surround-Headphones-Cancelling/dp/B07TC8J6HK/ref=rvi_sccl_8/130-0535783-6539846?pd_rd_w=mha4E&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=V0752VY3WGYFCE5C93MC&pd_rd_wg=9dUNs&pd_rd_r=3fb249c2-f87b-4d3d-80fb-377f4962879f&pd_rd_i=B07TC8J6HK&psc=1

Or these:  https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Foldable-Headphones-Smartphone-Control/dp/B00I3LV3P4/ref=pd_ybh_a_sccl_2/130-0535783-6539846?pd_rd_w=pGqJS&content-id=amzn1.sym.67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_p=67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_r=VSD7H5EZA9B5YD15TAN5&pd_rd_wg=dezEp&pd_rd_r=a2538616-8285-41a5-8f1e-247deef95948&pd_rd_i=B00I3LV3P4&th=1

Great, I decided for a walk along the water.  It’s a little late in the day, and it’s nice and warm out!

Nice Brilac!go for a walk(hike)breathe in that fresh air

@Tre Mac where are you at on your ice cream?  And, are you sharing?

Fall is a more natural time to start, as it's when the programs expect students to start, especially the ones fresh out of high school.

I don't think it really matters right now. In-person is much more epic during the fall because of how busy it is.

Never cut a SINGLE class in my years at elementary & high school.  Then, I went to University.

Yeah, I take a multivitamin and vitamin d in the morning, and vitamin b+c in the evening.  I used to be thinner at one time.  Once I gained 20 pounds in 2015, and lost 10 of it.  It's hard to fit into jeans.  

Protein is also extremely important for immunity. I have been doing time restricted eating for just over 2 months now and am pleased with how I fell. It really isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I usually have a 6-7 hour feeding window.

It's really hard at the beginning but 3 weeks into it, I found it to be much easier. Afterwards, it was effortless. 

But I am looking for great, fantastic ideas for a treadmill brand or exercise bike. 

We used to have a treadmill.  Twice.  I recommend looking for a used one.  Treadmills are one of those things that are frequently bought with good intentions, but then sit around unused for years.

Nope, we’ve never had a treadmill, but one of my brother’s did.  He found out to have it facing something to watch while using it was best.  He liked it though, and used it often.  He’d watch TV while walking on it.  Then he got old, and (while believing he was still on his treadmill) walked right out onto the street.  He loved the 

TV show, “Streets of SAN Francisco”.  After that, he only ate Rice-a-Roni.  

Heathrow Express I'd say it's the fastest way to get to Central London, not the cheapest though. I know they give you a 50% discount for airline staff.

Tube's the cheapest but takes for yonks

Have fun

Heathrow to Victoria Station is 50 mins on the tube and will cost £5.10.

Train with Heathrow Express to Paddington is 15 mins and would be £22.00 off peak and £25.00 peak.

Uber would be about 45 mins and be between £27- £35.

Check out the Scooter Uber rides.  Max speed is only 6 kph, and You have to push up hills, but they’re free!  

I'm so-oo-o into aligning stars, how it all fits together and finding answers....Well, sadly it has happened yet but I'm working on it. Way to go Brilac!

Nazzy, I'm into spare of the moment things, but some of the things I find normal, others don't find normal.  

I knows two plus two, it equals four

& the rest? Well it seems a bore

Wishin' you luck

Now back to puck

Long equations just make my brain sore

Yes, I was walking along there earlier.

I hope you are enjoying your stay in Vancouver, the draft went well imo...

I am!  I am at the Draft right now.  I am having poutine and white wine.  Didn't realize it was before noon (white wine).

@naslund.is.king

You must be under 25 to not know who they are. Can't tell if you are joking here. Either way, gave me a chuckle...

@Chip Kelly. Im over 25 Google just helped me out..Ive heard of them but cant say i heard their music.

Grew up on Am radio and Country so im not suprised i didnt make the connection

I always assume its some rapper.

They have some creative Names/Titles

Dude, that's a brutal misspelling of "Steph" :^P

Pshah, I already know I'm a lush! The world has so many fascinating wines that I need to taste and taste!

Phil beat me to it.

The real question is what was the nicest rum in the store?

El Dorado 15

Duly noted, thanks amigo

If you were buying wine or beer I bet you'd be carded. 

Champagne, makes you seem more mature. 

It’s a sad day when I’m no longer being carded at Denny’s on senior Wednesday’s?  

your an old lady now. makes a different.

Hmmm.  Half eaten?  I think it depends on which half?  

Ok great, that was a piece of cake! 

Unless you are hiding something in it you should be aite.

I am with Deb...

No, I've never heard of that before. Does the person usually send one? If they do then you should be but we've had a few cleaners and I know some others and none of them do/did that.

She always sends follow-up emails. Anyhow she did a fantastic job.

See, look who won.

... Grrr.

Over Ottawa? wtf?

very cool indeed

linden vey?

lol just got status elvis'd by stank.

a whole 10 lbs..this worlds been mean to you

Heh, I was NEVER skinny...I too sort of dance...

So here's something ~

I know nothing about Football, except that some of those Seahawks players are really good looking. Like, oh, that's Doug Baldwin, and that's Russell ( I forgot what his last name is). 

One time in my 20's at a bar, there were Bengals players at the same bar, and my friends educated me that they were football players.  My friends introduced themselves, and I introduced myself.  I started talking to one of them, and he invited us to hang out with them at another bar.  I declined, and declined for all of us.  If only my friends at the time knew that I turned them down for all of us.  And you know what I did afterwards, I went up to Capitol Hill with a friend, and we drank beer and ate ice cream bars while swinging on the swings.  It was total Brilacness.  And the only one I remember is Justin, because he had really cool hair and his teammates said great things about him.

Mine is to keep sneaking in to the Hot Yoga classes, while Mrs. Alf is out shopping. 

save money!!!

Learn to sing properly (get better at it), work towards finding a career/job that veers in that direction/go back to school, be less of a hermit and make some more friends

I will force myself starting tomorrow! 

Treat yo self

how about a chocolate fondue? melt your chocolate and dip the healthy foods in it. we once had one with fruit.  

man was that good. 

They should have both crunchy and puffs in a bag.

are you sure those are cheetos droppings ?

the orange man has not been sneaking round your place i hope ?

Ok thanks, I'm looking at Amazon and seeing what the reviews are. 

AMAZON! ...as people mentioned above as well.

The small holes and hiding spots will be too small as soon as they surpass the kitten phase, but you still get several "stories" for a fraction of the cost (at least from what I have seen locally in Victoria). Have a large enough space for your furry friend to curl up in and be able to see all around, and they will love it.

^At the top, that is!

Possibly a fracture. If it's still hurting after a few days have it looked at by your doctor.

oh brilac, you silly brilac, you

wine does help. that's what it told me. you'll be fiiiine

Great, thanks all!  I have been thinking about taking a day trip up to Vancouver. I was not sure about the border crossing since we are still in a pandemic and of what to expect like travelling by myself for a day trip, if that would be a red flag because we are still in a pandemic, and taking the bus. The train service from Seattle is not up and running and Kenmore Air is not running service up to Vancouver and back. 

You know what's funny... I used go to Montreal and would take an overnight flight, usually over to Chicago and up to Montreal. At customs, I always wanted to tell the agent why I was there, but they never asked me anything.  They would just look at my declaration form and say merci followed by thank you, and that was it.  When I interacted with an agent at a land border or YVR on my way to Vancouver, sometimes it was like a Q&A session, and I am not much for more than 3 questions. I would think that the agents in Montreal would ask me questions, and the agents at the land border and YVR would not ask me more than 3 questions. 

@4petesake, did you have to show anything else besides your passport and vaccination card or use an app to go to the US?

So as a recap for myself to go to Vancouver and back to Seattle:

Canada:  ArriveCan app + passport or Enhanced ID

USA:  passport + vaccination card

Is that right?

For a Canadian going across I didn’t have to show anything other than passport. Returning to Canada if you have filled out your ArriveCan online you also don’t have to show anything as it is already linked.
 

Yes I am confident you have it right in your recap
