Heinz Pours Ketchup on Catch Up Lady

While it’s no big deal to be inundated with press releases on a daily basis, Kaitlyn over at Catch Up Lady was pleased to receive one from Heinz the other day promoting its Heinz 57th Anniversary Wedding Bell promotion in which the company gives away a commemorative Heinz 57 porcelain bell and hosts. Because the company is approaching its 5,700th giveaway, the company will choose one lucky couple who’s been married for 57 years and throw a $5,700 party for the couple and 57 of their friends in their home town. To enter, couples send in a copy of their marriage license.

Census Bureau information indicates there’s a pool of 1,667,000 people who were married in 1950 to draw from. Pretty good odds considering many won’t even hear about this promotion.

I’m 65 and I finally understand why my father never once asked me about my life — it wasn’t disinterest or generational stoicism, it was textbook narcissism disguised as old-fashioned masculinity

Psychology says the most dangerous narcissists aren’t the loud, grandiose ones — they’re the quiet martyrs who weaponize their suffering so skillfully that you end up apologizing for things they did to you

I thought retirement would mean freedom, but at 66 I’ve discovered it actually means waking up every day knowing that nobody’s schedule depends on you anymore — and that the invisibility of not being needed is its own particular kind of grief

Research suggests that the most intellectually confident people in most rooms are often the quietest — not because they have nothing to say but because they learned early that speaking without thinking is a currency that devalues itself every time it’s spent
