One of my cousins is a vet and also has horses. She used to throw a big Kentucky Derby party every year. We dressed up with great hats and had mint julips and other traditional foods. At least 100 people would come. I enjoy watching it. I was just reading that every horse running this year is related to Secretatariat.

Great to see you here Gina

I have known a few hoarders. They tell you they paid good money for stuff and can't get rid of it. My brother's wife was a hoarder and he made her keep her hoard in their basement. After she passed away it took him more than a year to clean it out.

My mother went to garage sales and bought things she did not need. At one point she had a bedroom that was too cluttered to open the door. It was seasonal decorations. Christmas, Halloween, Spring, Fall, Winter, flowers, and all kinds of things. We finally put it all in the tra****ry to use the get rid of one thing when I buy something new. Clutter makes me so nervous. I don't want to leave a mess for others to deal with.

I used wood cutting boards for years, then went to glass. Then someone told me that plastic was better for the knives, so now use plastic. Titanium does sound interesting. I use small cutting boards now because most meals are just for myself. I wash in dish soap and ho****er and then run them through the dishwasher.

I turn 77 today. It has been a fast and interesting ride. I feel like I accomplished everything I set out to do and no longer have much on my bucket list. Hawaii was one of the things I never did and now the plane ride there would feel overly stressful. But I think everything else on the list that I made 30 some years ago is crossed off and over.

It is strange in some ways to just be retired and not have any obligations or pressure on me. The term bucket list had not come into play then. I made a notebook with pictures of the things I wanted to do and then went through and figured out how to do them. I have always been a planner and always prided myself on finishing anything I start.

It is strange to have no goals, but sort of a welcome relief too. I can't handle cake anymore, but will have a bowl of ice cream later to celebrate.

I had a hard time getting on here today. The site kept going out. 4:45 is really a dedicated employee. I used to start early but worked from home when it was that early so just went from bed to the computer.

I have never done anything extreme although I did think about white water rafting but never ended up going. I wanted to bungee jump off a bridge in West Virginia one time that was really high but when I got there I chickened out.

I did some parachute jumps but tandem and ended up messing up my back with a bad landing. My days of anthing extrem are over. I admire anyone who does. The four hour ride sounds great.

I lived on protein powders the first few years. I wore out three Magic Bullets which was the popular personal blender back then. I also had an ice cream maker and made tons of protein ice creams. And made high protein muffins and cookies out of flaxseed. I have some protein powder in the house but rarely use it now. Some of the premixed shakes are really good and I keep some in the refrigerator in case I want something quick and easy.

The company is no longer operating in US, but you can still buy Nioxin System 2 on Amazon. It is a shampoo and scalp treatment and will take about three months to see a difference. I still had almost bald patches about three years after surgery and Nioxin worked wonders for me.

There are a lot of old mansions where I live in Warren, Ohio. I always wanted to buy one but knew it would be a lot of work and maintenance. I am pretty happy now with a condo where all the maintenance outside is taken care of. If I ever decided to buy a home again it would be in North Carolina and be a small home close to a beach and with a sal****er pool.

It has been cold and wet after warm and beautiful March. Mother Nature does seem to have problems making up her mind. Maybe she is drinking too much.

I stay in casinos when in Vegas because so cheap. But the tradeoff is the cigarette smoke. They used to all have wonderful and very inexpensive buffets but that is no longer the case. Now the food is pretty pricey, like $29 for a hamburger. There are a few buffets left but they are not cheap anymore.

I have gone to local casino for concerts and to watch the horses race. My husband was a gambler, but I am not. So I have no problem walking past the machines.

My name is Mary and I remember wishing it was Marie because Mary was so plain and boring. My heart goes out to all the Karen's most of whom are wonderful people and not the Karen's of all the jokes and memes.

Many years ago I kept breaking out in hives and had allergy testing, I am allergic to sulphur.. They used to spray it on salad bars to preserve the food. I ate a lot of salads and would break out. I quit the salad bars. Also in dried fruit and red wine.
