Oh My! I can thank Rathkeale for adding me as a friend today on answerMug. I couldn't do that last year. In fact, it has been so long since I've been here, I almost forgot how to get back on. ;) I can say "hello" to many of my long, lost, friends I made here, from Ask, and other social networks I can help more people and their furry friends live happier and healthier lives I can clean my house under 45 minutes before my husband gets home... ( This is because we put our bed on a frame and sometimes various things occasionally live under it ... giggles) I can hopefully go to a home football game since the Rams came back to town I will be able to say I have lived half a century in May And in closing, I can continue to help people and make them laugh a little and maybe enjoy life a little. I could do this last year; but, I have made new friends this year and I can hopefully help them too! Happy! Happy!
So Merlin, you are now an Old Sweetie instead of being a regular Sweetie! Happy Birthday! I'm so glad to see you here. You do all the things you listed. You are a compassionate and practical help to everyone. The sense of humour doesn't hurt either.
To the lovely Rathkeale, "You look Marvelous!" I must say, you brought a twinkle to my eye when I saw your name appear. My inbox literally jumped out of the "box" and "in" to my ear and yelled, "HEY! Don't go crusin' by!! Look who came along and said, 'Hi' this year !!!"
I made that inward sound you make when something happily takes you by surprise. Winks and Smiles! How are your crazy cats and how are you this year? I hope one thing will never change through out the years and that is both our love of laughter and taste for great Scotch.. with that I say, "Cheers!" I must find my way to bed. I've been up North visiting family. Unfortunately, (for me) Don had to stay home. The bills, you know?! Ugh! But, I just got back and we have some catching up to do. It's great to see you and I'm hoping to be back soon. Thank you for reminding me, not to loose touch! You and a few others, I do think of and miss very much! Love, Merlin

Your question is designed knowingly or unknowingly to gauge whether or not life is improving. If the answer is nothing then a period of decline. If many things perhaps a golden age.

That's a thoughtful answer. You're right of course. I was looking at an upward progression which is a bit optimistic when I can certainly NOT do many of the things I could do a year ago. I suppose the advantage of asking a question like this is that I don't have to answer it, which would prove to be negative.
Now, following your answer, I'm gonna go away and think about it for a while. There has to be SOMETHING. And if there's not I'll need to plan better so that if this gets asked next year I'll be able to throw my hand up in class and say, "Me, me, pick me!"
