We all need more time for reflection
Or perhaps not!

So, who has the sweetest complexion

Sorry to hear that. Hard to know what to say, but I hope you are bearing up.

Any chance you can edit your post so that it fits with the Limerick thread?

An very friendly woman in a bar in Texas once said to me "I am literally throwing my vagina at you right now". I still remember relecting on the misuse of the word literally.
If she had said 'thrusting' instead of 'throwing', would it have been literally acceptable?

That euro group draw looks kind ... or it did until they let it be known our pair up for the knockouts is with the group of death
It won't be a problem. They'll all be dead.

I can't remember my first pay packet, it was over 50 years ago. I can remember my first annual salary when I started teaching in 1977. It was £3333pa.

My favourite limerick requires a bit of thought:
The sermon our pastor rt. rev.
Began, might have had a rt. clev.
But his talk, though consistent
Kept the end so far distant
That we left since we thought he mt. nev.

Once you start wearing glasses, you're stuck with them (or contacts) for life, barring laser eye treatment. If you can cope with just reading glasses, then cope with just reading glasses, imo. Opticians, like everyone else, want to sell you something and, preferably, something expensive that you have to change every year. (Cynic, me? Yes!)
For reference, Carol tried varifocals some years back and could not get used to them at all. She now uses contact lenses for everyday viewing and reading glasses for close up. I just use the cheapest possible, off-the-shelf reading glasses for reading. My distance vision is pretty good so far. (My hearing is not great, though)

Thanks for all the information, Futtocks. It seems like there are options out there. I'll think it over for a while and probably get a Fire stick in the New Year.

You can load (or side-load) a VPN service onto a Fire TV/Chromecast etc. That was one of the things that limits a lot of smart TVs, so you can get around it by plugging a pretty cheap gadget into the back of a regular TV set.
Yes. I did work that out eventually. The problem is making the on/off process simple enough for my wife to use confidently. The Firestick/Chromecast option still requires a PC running alongside the TV, which means two things to switch on or off.
Also, I don't really get how the Fire stick works. I assume I need a tablet or smartphone to cast the tv signal to the stick, but I could be wrong. What I really want is to be able to just use the TV without a computer, but I think I will have to wait until someone writes a VPN app for WebOS.
Sorry. I almost forgot. Thanks for the response.

Recently bought a LG 49" smart OLED. Picture quality is excellent, but ...
I get my TV over the internet using a VPN. Having hooked up the TV, I discovered that, while Samsung use an android OS, LG use their own OS (WebOS) in their smart TVs. WebOS won't download VPN software. I have to use my desktop PC and an HDMI connector. Picture quality is very good, but depends on internet bandwidth.
I now wish I'd bought the Samsung equivalent.

I guess that most of us will be leaving what we can (eg. A house) to our children. If they can't find a few thousand out of that to stick me in the fire, then I guess I didn't do a good enough job of raising them.
Whatever, as Shadow says, it won't be my problem.

Well Tony my jealousy of your geographic location begins yet again.
Seems Old Man Winter has decided to turn on the snow machine for another year again...already been snowing for two days (about 2 feet) and now this: It begins!
Tonight Flurries and local snow squalls. Local blowing snow early this evening. Local amount 20 to 30 cm. Wind northwest 30 km/h gusting to 50 becoming light near midnight. Low minus 10. Wind chill near minus 15. Wed, 13 Nov Flurries and local snow squalls ending in the morning then cloudy with 60 percent chance of flurries. Local amount 5 cm. Wind becoming south 20 km/h early in the afternoon. High minus 4. Wind chill minus 15 in the morning and minus 10 in the afternoon. UV index 1 or low. Night Periods of snow. Amount 2 cm. Wind south 30 km/h becoming light after midnight. Temperature rising to minus 2 by morning. Wind chill minus 13 in the evening and minus 6 overnight. We've had our central heating on at night for the last three weeks. Hardly in your league, but I feel your pain.
Actually, I know you like it like that, so there's no pain. I do hope you are keeping warm, though. Good luck through your winter.
