You’d have to ask the same about Carol…

We watched it last night after 9pm…

The reality is that people make stupid mistakes ALL THE TIME. I know I have... thank goodness the internet wasn't really a thing then. You shouldn't get death threats and be afraid of going in public -- or have to put your kids in therapy and take them out of school -- because you had a...

I think about this sometimes even though I'm nowhere near retirement. The problem is that there is a difference between being retired at age 65 in good health and being retired at age 87 and needing assistance. Being near good healthcare is important in your later years.

I can’t with WCPSS 🙄. Really do not want to spend another day in this house with my stir crazy kids 🫠

UNC@Tech, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I've actually wondered before what I would do if my husband came to me one day and had a similar change of heart... I've certainly heard of this happening to people before. Such a rough road when you think you're going to spend the rest of your...

ain’t happening but I love the optimism

I have made a promise to myself that I WILL NOT get sucked in by 10-day fantasy storms this winter. Have wasted too much time weather model watching and been burned again and again...

The day after Thanksgiving is the earliest I'll decorate! My husband is allergic to Christmas trees, so we got a fake one a few years back. It doesn't hold quite the same allure but I've adjusted. Plus no needles in the house. However, this year I've decided to get a real tree and put it on...

Yeah, my son is 9... but we would still have to go to a day game. Hell, I'm too tired at this point for a 7pm tipoff. ;-)

If anyone ever has seats for a day game that they aren't going to use, let me know... would love to take at least one of my kids. My son just started playing rec bball and I think he would enjoy a game more now that he's older and can tolerate these kinds of events a little more.

I don't know anything about economics... but I'll say this. I lived in SF and worked in the internet sector in the late 90s. It was fun, but these guys had no good plan about how to actually make money. They were like "let's get eyeballs and pageviews first and then monetize it"... and the...

I was worried about a friend of mine (who holds a green card) when she traveled to Europe this summer.... was pushing her to get citizenship before she left. Turns out she had zero problems and she was actually surprised when she was welcomed with open arms back into the country. There's a lot...

Sorry to hear that, CHS. As a parent of two autistic children, I totally understand the struggle of attempting to do something fairly normal (plane flight, dinner out with relatives, etc) and have it be far more difficult than anticipated, and then feel let down/exhausted after it's over. It's...

Sure, all this could be true... but also he's also almost 80. I think when you get to that point, you start to realize realize you're not going to live forever and you're hoping just to live another decade.
