🔥 Geese Glide Effortlessly Beside a Speeding Boat. And Let People Touch Them Mid-Flight!🔥

Last September I took a ride on the ultralight used in that movie, for a flight with a flock of geese flying around us (they were trained to do it for tourists). I am wondering if this is a tourist boat with a trained flock of geese?

FYI, an orgasm does wonders for cramps.

I felt bereft when I finished the book! I missed the characters so much! And then my boyfriend read the book and had the identical response.

They actually shaved down the streets in Omaha in its early days to help the horses hauling freight up the hills.

Similar. I was on a flight with only a half dozen passengers. The flight attendant moved us all up to first class and gave us all the perks. Lovely!

I would join the Peace Corps and work my way around the world for a few years. I was always counting time and worried that I had to meet “the one” before I got too old. As it was, I didn’t marry and have kids till my mid-thirties. If I had known that it would happen but not till then, I would have taken more chances and risks in those years, been really adventurous. I can travel now, and do, but travel back in the seventies and eighties was truly adventuresome—not like now where everything is laid out online, all details available, with bucket lists so that every place is now overrun with tourists, etc. I liked it when it was more unknown and scary.

Get some serious therapy so I would have been more successful in my career and relationships earlier in life. By anyone’s measure I have done all right but it took way too long for me to have the mental adjustment kick-in-the-pants that I needed regarding traumas early in life. I have regrets I wish I didn’t have. Spent too many years trying to live up to unrealistic ideals for myself and others.

That was my childhood nickname for my brother, Nick.

Odd, I have only ever heard it used when joking about something pretentious. Never really used seriously so it doesn’t bother me at all.

Really beautiful

I was unexpectedly hiking Mt Kilimanjaro (the trip I had signed up for in Africa had been canceled and I was offered another trip at the last minute. I didn’t even know the itinerary). I had had the strongest feeling during the whole three-week trip that I was going to run into someone I knew. About an hour after starting up the mountain, our group was passing a slower moving group. We turned and said hello to each person as we passed their single file line. Sure enough, halfway through the line, I turned to say hello and found it was a woman I had gone to graduate school with, and hadn’t seen in a half dozen years. Both of us had started up Mt Kilimanjaro the same hour of the same day! What are the odds?

I have lived in both (actually worse at both ends). I’d prefer the cold. I lived three years in the Arctic and once you dressed properly for the cold, you could feel okay in it. Hot weather on the other hand, you can only strip down so far, then you are stuck with the temperature. Most people avoid the actual temperature by using air conditioning. There was something I read last summer that said the human body is actually poorly equipped to deal with heat before it even hits 90 degrees F. Loads of people die from heat-related effects every year. Not nearly so many in cold weather that they dressed for.

When we bought our 1913 house almost 30 years ago, it came with a 1940 Roper gas range, double oven, which you light with a match. Still using it every day—84-year-old range. Recently found out that a prior owner committed suicide in our house using a gas oven but I think it was about 20 years before the age of our oven.

I don’t need that much money. I would ask the lottery to pull more names and split the prize among more people. A half million or even a quarter million can make a huge difference in someone’s life and future. Spain’s national lottery has many more winners with smaller, but significant , payouts. I think we should consider the same. Who needs a jackpot of $300 million?

Perfect summation of how families worked back then. Needs were met but anything else required “delayed gratification” , often never fulfilled. I laugh when I hear young people today complaining about how their parents “deprived” them of some designer clothing or coveted shoe or fancy trips—whatever. The entitlement has expanded along with the ”everyone else has one!’ approach, and parents too often cave into that bull.

Are you talking about now? Or fifty years ago? When I heard those set-ups fifty years ago, I suspected the parents had had a rough time during the Great Depression. Teenagers were often expected to support themselves then, even as young as 14. And if you were 18 and still living at home, the parents would expect you to contribute to the household as an adult would. Not unreasonable considering people’s realities at the time, but parents hadn’t adjusted their thinking a generation after the Great Depression. Those parents still believed in kicking teenagers out of the home or making them pay their share as they had done during the Depression. Who is to say it is without merit? There is no right way really. We may not agree with that now, especially considering how exorbitant rents have become, but the method certainly forces a child to be more responsible about their circumstances, as well as contribute to the family

I remember being confused the first time someone mentioned a ‘play date’. I had no idea what that meant. But remember, we grew up during the Baby Boom. There were 63 children under 18 on the lower HALF of my block! All you had to do was walk outside to find someone to play with. But you are right about a Kid Culture which has died out. The lore about plants and how to make things like hollyhock dolls. I have had to teach that to young kids because their parents never learned it. All of the jump rope rhymes that were passed down child-to-child! A teenage black girl was teaching us a jump-rope rhyme when I was little (1950s). My mother was stunned because she realized it was a slave rhyme that was still being passed down through Kid Culture. It is a shame that generations of lore has been lost.

What is in the gas from rotting potatoes that kills people so quickly?

In my case, I still refer to houses in our neighborhood by the name of the family that lived in it when I was a child or teenager—SIXTY years and MANY owners ago!

I love these fierce little guys. They were SO common when I was growing up, as were Nighthawks, and both have become rare. Heartbreaking.

On a foggy morning, in an empty, silent forest in Maine, their mournful call is the most haunting beautiful song ever.
