That's you. Your biggest complaint early in the pandemic was you couldn't buy shoes. You didn't want to take covid seriously because you think you...

Salad spinners. And ice cream sundaes.

I remember some of you being very dismissive when I raised concerns about the global impact of covid - things like rising rates of starvation and...

Not sure that I agree with this. I have kept stuff that is coming in handy now such as a supply of fabric and yarn. Life was so busy for a long...

Mitts with finger flaps? https://www.amazon.com/mittens-finger-flap/s?k=mittens+with+finger+flap&page=2

I think we need to keep things for the people we are now and not for who we think we will be in the future.

I didn’t even know they made those. I don’t worry about cholesterol because it’s only a concern for people in a very select small group and most of...

On Thursday night, I mentioned to DH that I really needed a shelf in one of the drawer boxes which hold cookbooks. He put it up this morning. More...

When I lived in Wisconsin I liked mittens because they were warmer. I don’t need them now.

I have a "meh" feeling about Joyce Carol Oates. I read something by her once and don't remember anything about it, so she apparently didn't inspire...

A friend just emailed me about this series. I love a good documentary!

Haha! What did JCO ever do to you? :). What don't you like about her writing? I love her, and We Were the Mulvaneys is the only work of fiction that...

One of my young relatives informed me last August that the Girl Scouts were updating their uniform and the new one has better pockets. According...

Personally, I don’t see why Bernie’s socialist chic couldn’t extend to ear flaps. Surely he could find a mad bomber hat somewhere in his three...

Well, I have heard it said that politics is show business for homely people. Even in this insert-glamour-here age

Catherine those are nice! For a while I actively hated Joyce Carol Oates but I haven’t read anything of hers for years to incite that dislike so I’ve...

EJ, I admire your persistence and your successes. Finding what makes you comfortable and happy in your space takes time. You seem to be enjoying the...

My favorite autographed books are: T. Boone Pickens, who I spent 3 days with at a rehab. Duane Elgin, who I met at a seminar he was giving--I had...

Totally get the "hands out of pockets" for ice and balance, etc. I like pockets for the storage - LOL. If I ever find a really good sale on cargo...

Never had a brick house, so never knew much about such things. This was my "learned something new today". Thanks.

I’ve had no issues getting rid of a lot of books. Popular fiction type stuff is easily passed around friends, especially right now with seniors not...

I don’t like hoods at all because they don’t stay up and they don’t really keep my ears warm. I like a head wrap around my ears I don’t need an...

I have a few autographed by the author, but if I had been smarter I would have had them not do a personal inscription with my name. They would be...

I am watching “pretend it’s a city “a tv documentary series about Fran Leibowitz and the city she loves, NYC. In it she rambles on about New York...

I've noticed that all our news people, Washington, Baltimore and local Hagerstown news sources are giddy.

I used to swear by Lands End but over the last several years the cuts of their tops are way too small. I laid a new from them top size 2x on an old...

When I went through The Purge I got rid of about 100 books, but I had already gotten rid of 200 about a year earlier. I kept the books I couldn't...

Yes, I thought about the few books from my childhood that I donated to the bookstore because I was thinking what if some woman my age is out there...

My everyday clothes are looking raggedy too. The only thing that ever comes close to fitting are my usual PM size in Land's End and Talbot's but as...

There was a time that I couldn’t imagine getting rid of my books. But I never read them more than once. I also had 2 copies each of my dissertation...

I have friends where both people in the couple were editors. The husband was a book collector and dealer as well. The wife always looks underfed,...

Come to Chicago! Carjackings are through the roof. 150 so far for this year. All neighborhoods being hit.

Chico lets you try on which is what I did to get jeans. I wonder if it varies by state.

That’s what the glaziers want you to think!

I generally don't keep fiction around, but I have bought a few of my childhood books for nostalgia's sake.

I like Stephen. Like many of us, he was clearly relieved and nearly giddy that Trump is safely out of office.

Last time I went to get a pair of pants (during Covid), you weren't allowed to try the clothes on. I lucked out in that what I bought fit okay...

I so agree! And pockets! Gotta have pockets in any clothing piece possible. (Geesh - I read that and I think I'm starting to turn into my...

Vicarious thrills here! Hope your deal proceeds smoothly.

Good luck, TT!!

Same here, so go for it. Edited to add: except for the "try to convince other people that I'm right". In my opinion, expressing my opinion and...

I think most of us can name several people in our sphere who use their government IRS refund as a savings account. Or view it as a windfall. It is...

With Talbots you can also return to the store. Big sales right now. But they’re expensive. You might be better off with LL Bean if you’re...

I have had really good luck with clothes from Chico fitting. Since they are expensive I wait for big sales. I got a 84 sweater for 19. Everything has...

That sounds like media speak for a pimply faced kid.

I agree with you that our resident virus does not present nearly the horrifying limits and destruction to life that .wWII did. I mean, even here...

Yay! A clean, beautiful, all-yours space! It will be lovely.

I hate the inability to assess fabric too. And yes, searching for fabric content—good luck! I hate poly too. I settle for cotton blends, but never...

I am typically leery of buying clothes online since I'm not an easy fit. I am the most willing to take a gamble with LL Bean, because they do free...

Thanks for sharing.

Here was the article in VT Digger. I was so enchanted by this story. (I have a pair of repurposed wool sweater mittens made by a Vermont crafter...

This made me laugh. I am joining Idahl in learning new word combos - follicly-challenged - so politically correct!:laff:

Good luck!

First of all, are you a different size? Aka tall, petites, etc? Have you measured yourself before ordering and used the size chart? If stores...

I knock on wood + press my thumbs for your offer.

Zucchini noodles with cheese.

Hoods are the best!

I hope you get it!

I love that one. Fingers crossed!
