That I haven't had a cigarette for 14 months... not one puff.

Bèsame* · 03-14-2015, 09:12 AM

Ok, I'm not surprised actually, but Saturday morning TV, really sucks. However, I'm sitting with yet the same ice pack on my knee. Ouch. Not surprised with that either, going up and down the stairs, well, took a toll.

What does surprise me, the TV movie I stopped on. Made in 1986. Did we really have those shoulder pads in everything???

What surprises me? How people remember so much about things from the past. like in the throwback Thursday thread. I have to look this stuff up or google it to remember or see it in a movie or look at old family pictures or something.

Like the above post, I watch a movie and go huh we really did that, looked like that, wore that whatever. Then I thing about it and go yup we sure did. It surprises me I don't just remember stuff like that off the top of my head.

Was it Pretty in Pink? I saw some of it while at the gym this morning.

Hope your knee feels better.

thank you FireSignFemme for the rep you left on my post from two years ago. My plan that year got derailed, but it's still been on my mind ..... all this time. It could still happen, yet.

Thanks for the nudge, FSF

That people actually eat ham.

kittygrrl · 12-15-2017, 11:09 AM

Suprised i like it so much..

Chad · 12-15-2017, 07:00 PM

Human kindness and thoughtfulness always suprises me. Maybe I expect the worst of people based on my life experiences so when humans are selfless and kind I am suprised.

A coworker lost her mother suddenly this week. Folks in her group are driving more than 3 hours each way to attend the services and offer their support. To me, that is beautiful.

girl_dee · 12-24-2017, 02:12 PM

that there are still people out there scrambling for things, as if Dec 25 was just sprung up on them today!

kittygrrl · 12-25-2017, 12:42 AM

trying to wait up for Santa..but i always fall asleep!

Chad · 12-26-2017, 12:06 AM

Once again the kindness of strangers has suprised me. I probably pushed mom too much today with long walks. After dinner we went to the Christmas light festival at the park. I dropped mom off at a park bench and headed to the restroom. The next thing that I saw was mom going down to the ground. She had reached for the park bench but lost her footing on uneven ground.

I ran for her but two guys beat me to her and they both picked her up and put her on the bench. The two young guys were not alone, people ran to my mom from every direction.

There are a lot of kind people walking around in the world.

I am monitoring mom's leg but it looks yucky.

kittygrrl · 12-26-2017, 08:38 AM

how good i feel at the moment-

JustLovelyJenn · 12-26-2017, 12:56 PM

It's been almost a year, and I am still suprised by how amazing it feels to have her in my arms.

Deborah* · 01-10-2018, 03:47 PM

The surprise of my tastebuds changing because of my diet...

That after a few weeks of a raw food vegan diet, I bought a small container of french fried onions (the type put on top of green bean casserole for Thanksgiving holiday meal), and I could taste the bitterness of it. I told myself "so this is what dead food tastes like, it doesn't have any nutrition." And they didn't have any bad ingredients in them! I threw them out.

It reminded me of a potluck lunch I attended. I brought organic strawberries. Someone there told me "those are the sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted!" I explained to him they were organic and didn't have the bitterness of the pesticides in them, and this is why there were so sweet.
