Happy Birthday Dad


 


My Dad would have been 101 today if he was still with us.


'morning all....and especially to Jean.


 


Does anyone remember during WW11 when toothpaste was in lead tubes?  There used to be a bin at the end of every street and you put your used lead tubes in it for the war effort....bullets.   Then they stopped using lead and we had to use salt for cleaning our teeth.  Well, maybe it was a good idea as I still have all my natural teeth, even wisdoms.  Mind you I do wonder about the brain damage we got from the lead.  :^O




Good lord!  I have forgotten the lead toothpaste tubes... I don't remember the bins tho.



Probably a very good idea they stopped that one.



I remembered something the other day.. but now I have forgotten it 😞  Welcome to Senior's moments :^O


Isn't it odd that we still celebrate their birthdays by remembering them.  My mother would have turned 102 last March.



Well probably better to remember their birthdays than their death days because that way we know they lived and had us and that's a nice thought πŸ™‚

Morning all


 


I am going to clean up the back yard after the wind storm last night.  We were lucky we didn't get any damage to the veggie garden just of lot of leave and stuff from the trees over the back fence.

Morning Gerries:-)



Good that you got no damage Grandmoon, I hate wind storms, too many trees around here, always scared one will come down.



Cooler here today, before it warms up again.



Have a good day everyone.

morning allβ™₯



Shopping day today...doing it quickly and then watching the Obama Romney debate....hopefully Obama will show some more fight than last time.

Hey Gilly, thank goodness you reminded me the debate was on today.  I have been looking forward to Obama improving on the last one.

I found the present I wanted for my  Grandsons birthday.  When I chose the one I wanted the salesgirl informed me that it was on sales at 50% off the marked price.

Some people have all the luck moon... good on you πŸ™‚



I do most of my present shopping on eBay and I have had such fun finding Christmas presents for my small family of 4 this year.



How did the discussion go girls? I missed it ofcourse...
