Other ideas;

declutter your apartment

try to make something useful from the things you find while decluttering

Leftover wool into new scarves, old buttons to decorate things, old pieces of cloth become patches, bags etc.

I think it was grade 3 by the time we got the Salk vaccine in our schools. That would have been somewhere around 1955-56, or close to when I got it. My boosters were the flavoured lot.

Mrs.B, it seems you had almost all the childhood infections. 
" the Salk vaccine was effective. In 1954, more than 38,000 cases of polio were reported. By 1961, the number was down to 1,000. The Salk vaccine “ended the terror of polio in the United States,”

~Thomas Abraham, “Polio: The Odyssey of Eradication.”

["The first children to take the sugar oral polio vaccine." "Some 20,000 preschool-age children lined up at doctor’s offices across Cincinnati to receive the free vaccine, two drops in a teaspoon of cherry-flavored syrup. (The “spoonful of sugar” of the oral polio vaccine was the inspiration for the “Mary Poppins” song.)"

~ Dr. Albert B. Sabin, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital on April 24, 1960.

I also put a little make up on every day.

Languages are not my thing either.

Yes, & I had scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, mumps, chicken pox, & German measles.

I got the polio vaccine as soon as it got to the schools, as well as the smallpox, TB, etc.

I knew 2 or 3 kids at school who's had polio, & it terrified me.

Stephen Brodie   Prego!

I hope this says "You're welcome" in Italian. I'm terrible at languages, too.

Mrs.B. thanks for the music leads; I'll try them out.

 Joan. grazie mille per le idee. I'm trying to learn Italian for the millionth time. I'm awful at languages.

Mrs.B.

I know, we have been hunkering down a very long time. Do you remember the polio outbreaks, or scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases? 
We had to hunker down and there were no options. Vaccinations took care of most of these even as 
Diseases once thought eradicated reappear in the U.S.

My taste in music is huge, so I wouldn't know what to suggest. I have 60 cd channels [not video] to choose from on our cable tv, so I have music going all day long, switching around on a few favourite channels. Right now I'm into instrumental/ambient types, with soft classic/spa type at night before bed.

I also love these types of relaxing music.

Mrs.B, thanks for your ideas! Do you have favorite music; I am not much of a listener to music and don't know where to start.
