Aaaaaaaah, that beach looks so nice and WARM!

Lucky you getting to see a rocket launch. Must have been a thrill.

Yikes...that is how I walk on the ice as well. Will you have your spikies with you for when you next go into work?

He should have been going much more slowly, and he was lucky he didn’t take you out or get taken out by some other driver.

I think The Lord was looking out for both of you!!!

Poor kitty being out in that kind of cold!
Lucky kitty that you took him in and gave him a forever home. And now he’s in a much better clime. :-)

Fotki isn’t working for me either. I was afraid something was going on with my computer but it sounds like it’s on Fotki’s end. Whew, but it still stinks not being able to get to graphics. grrrrrr

Good evening, Radu!

The "too mean to die" comes from an auto accident I had almost 50 years ago. I was stationed at USNH Quantico and one of the officers I served with told me I was too mean to die - suggested I get a T-shirt that said that.

I've kept it going ever since.

The Lord was looking out for me - or I would not be here.

I expended another of my nine lives that day - not sure how many I have left.

Well .... did you get the t-shirt? :-)

Just glad things didn’t end up bad, and they could well have. Gave me the shivers to read about it.

Never got the T-shirt. But I've had a fun-filled life for the last fifty years. Never thought I'd make it to 21 - now on the brink of my 70's.

Our PBS has something about immigrant women, not NASA. :-(
I’d love to see what you’re watching. Sounds interesting!

We were right across the bay from the launch pad. I’ll never forget it. Took pictures, but guess they weren’t digital. I couldn’t find them in any folders. LOL!

Shoulda gotten the t-shirt for kicks!

I imagine a lot of us wondered if we’d make it to 21. I wasn’t sure. LOL! But we’re still here through all the ups and downs. And if we’ve had fun-filled lives, that’s icing on the cake. Like you, mine’s been pretty fun-filled. No complaints.
