General Discussion Thread 05.22.2025​

Hey hey—Ally here, back to bring you some warmth (and fun!) this Thursday morning. We’re nearly at the weekend finish line (deep breath, you’re doing amazing), but before we coast into Friday, I’ve got a question for you: When was the last time you did something just for fun? I want to know. Not for productivity, not because you had to—just pure, no-strings joy. Maybe you danced in your kitchen, took the long way home with music blasting, or finally tried that weird little hobby you’ve been curious about. Me? I’m going to spend the rest of the day trying out a recipe I found on the internet. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Or, if you have something else you'd like to share—whether it’s a cool fact you just learned, a funny story, or something that’s been bothering you—feel free to comment them down, too! This General Discussion Thread is created just for you, so feel free to engage with your fellow members!

Now, what's on YOUR mind today?

Last Saturday I went out to eat with some of the girls. It was so much fun! We laughed and shared stories of days gone by.
I love some girl time!

I pulledinto my driveway and my favorite song came on. I decided to stay in the car and listen to it and dance a little. I didn't know my husband was watching me out our front window and asked me why I took so long to get out of the car. When I told him, he said, "I figured" lol.

About a year or so ago before I became disabled I took my grandkids to the beach. Since we live in the high desert the beach is always a wonderful time

Yesterday, I was totally hyped to spend 1 1/2 hours on a MRI table having my brain and cervical spine inspected. Good news is I still have a brain that has no issues. Bad news is my cervical ( neck ) spine is all messed up and may require neuro surgery. But, I did have a nice dining experience with my wife of nearly 45 years after my procedure. Senior retired life is just a blast ! Time time tickin, enjoy life while you still are able. Love you all, Captainjim.

Having a bad hair day, jumped in my Jeep and took a road trip through some beautiful hills and my country music blasting. Got home and felt 100% better.

Very recently I took my old trumpet out of mothballs to wail! My skill showed clearly that I would need serious lessons to play better. I loved playing again nonetheless

This past weekend my husband and my 2 adult daughters went to Pennhurst. It is a.former insane asylum that is haunted. We saw so many of our favorite investigators. We had a ball

Last year I did a few outings. I found new parks or places I have not been to and took a tour of it. It was nice taking on the adventures of exploring new ground.
