How's your Mom doing these days Ron? Well, I hope. I enjoyed the emails you shared and posted from Her, a few times. I always thought: I wish my Mom (when she was alive) had the humor yours does...

Thanx for asking, Matts. Mom is as sharp as ever at 86. At her age she still mows her own grass, does her own house work, cooks her own meals, still drives herself around and never had a wreck even driving in metro Orlando, still manages to spend a lot of time being involved with church activities, still writes letters with the prettiest cursive handwriting you've ever seen, and of course, surfs the net and sends me either religious/spiritual messages or raunchy jokes nearly every day.
And I've gotta believe her secret is staying so active. That's why both her mind and body are in such good shape...incredible woman.

Wow, that's great to hear. No doubt her secret is staying active; everything you mentioned i.e. mowing her own grass, housework, cooks, et al., its very very impressive for her age, as you know. Being active keeps her young.
My Mom passed in 013, and Dad passed Oct 21, 2018. Both were active up until their last year. Dad was 84 and lasted another 5 yrs beyond Mom. Dad had a horrid case of Alzheimer's, one of the hardest of things to deal with. He gave in and wouldn't budge from his recliner; and his days were numbered from thereon out. Both had Pacemakers which kept 'em moving like Energizer bunnies until their last year. Mom like Dad kinda laid down and gave in, sticking to her rocking chair. Both had "Meals on Wheels"; although I cooked my ass of for both.
What's odd are the things, questions only they could answer, which arise after their gone; even tho' I turned as many stones over or pieces of their lives over before they departed. Even then, the questions arise again and again...

As George H.W. Bush once stated one has two choices be active or go in the corner and drool. Those seniors who stay active and in the game are very positive influences on us "younger" seniors. Keep on keeping on, I'm right there with you.

too salty and too reminiscent of dog food...
I haven't had Spam since I was a kid, other than the Spam I get in my email.

Hell, I love fried spam. (sliced and browned in a pan) Not as good as regular ham but works in a pinch. Plus, they have so many different varieties now.
"Today, there are 13 different varieties of Spam — classic, less sodium, lite, hot & spicy, Black Pepper, Jalapeño, spread, singles, singles lite, hickory smoke, bacon, cheese, and roasted turkey. The Jalapeño and Black Pepper selections were introduced for Spam’s 75th anniversary."

Close to Baskin Robbins with 13 flavors.
Make that 113** Ways to cook, prepare and serve Spam. 101 + 13 - 1 (the original is already accounted for.
I unfortunately keep several cans of Spam in my Earthquake kit. Plus I keep a .45 Caliber Colt with one bullet in the chamber, next to the Spam; just in case I am forced to eat it, i.e. the Spam...

Sorry Lil, and Matts....I forgot that no matter what, there are still people in this world who simply do not appreciate the finer things in life, especially the very best in American cuisine...Spam is an exquisite delicacy that must be savored and appreciated like a fine wine ...I put it right up there with Chee-tos.

....^^^^
there was a time when I enjoyed Spam. Fried Spam and Eggs, Spam Sandwiches. I ate so much Spam as a kid, I burned myself out on this fine "Exquisite Delicacy".
It's a necessity in any Hiking Backpack, or as noted prior: in a Natural Disaster, seriously.
I went to Gordon Ramsay's London Restaurant for a "fine exquisite" Michelin Star Fine Dining Meal. I ordered Spam, knowing all Brits eat Spam thus it's gotta be on the menu. They showed me the door, not the front door either, the back door. My ass still hurts from the boot they buried in it...
I think I will go see the ACLU, because of this event, not to mention the extreme prejudice they treated me with, and they even yelled at me, in public of all places, saying: We hate Spammers...
they could of at least whispered it in my ear...
