Did anyone see the special about 'old people' this weekend - the ones who
have succeeded in life. There was a doctor who did the first by-pass who is
abt. 97. One thing they all had in common in addition to their physical
health was/is their mental facilities/faculties. I would've loved to have
heard some hard questions asked about their eating habits. Mostly it was
about work, success, stress and exercise, family relations, faith, but
nothing about that which we put in our mouth/fuel tank.

What reminded me of this is 'because I'm 60,' was that one guy said that
when he hit 60, he wondered if he'd make it to 70, and so on, something
about each decade, and now that he is 87, he says it is his best decade, but
he was the most active physically one interviewed.

No, I didn't see it. No one on either side of my family has passed away
younger than 83. My paternal granmother was 101. I try not to speculate
on how many years I have left, but I hope it's quite a few. <g>

Reminds me of when Phyllis Diller asked Bob Hope who would ever want to be
100 years old. Hope replied, "Anybody who's 99."

i bought this poem as a rubber stamp to put on handmade
sympathy cards. the only variation is the forever in the 1st
& next to the last lines, it's not on my stamp. i think various
companies make it.

How did I miss your original post, Joan? I'm so, so sorry. 60 is too
young. Please accept Crash and my condolences.

I usually buy raw French or Italian bread dough from an instore bakery,
let it rise once, punch down, and spread thinly to place the meat in
it, roll up into a log, then fold into a circular glass or hreavy metal
pie pan, let rise again, then bake. There's really no recipe.

Congratulations on your impending arrival. When are you due?

Yeah! Stromboli! And add all the roasted peppers/hot peppers/
whatever, you like, before you roll it up. Cheese. Olives.
Nice to paint the outside with beaten egg for a nice finished look.

Sounds good, I can do that.
