Work recently switched 401K administrators and we got a new app/website. The app is USELESS. Broken. Lots of bad reviews. If you go to the link...

Last night we had one of our go-to's: Turkey burgers (no bun) with cottage cheese and a simple salad of lettuce and tomato, with the whole dish...

Now that she's dealing with this current health issue, will she no longer be voting?

She changed my life. I remember seeing her standing on the steps of SF city hall when she was mayor, proudly announcing the (illegal) handgun ban...

This is good. Ok I'm a terrible person for saying anyone's death is good, but that's the only way she would stop being a Senator, the damn woman...

Last night was "lazy lasagna" which is basically just meat, frozen ravioli, mozzarella, and marinara sauce all thrown together in a pan and baked....

I do the dreaded "bend and wipe" method but there is a product out there called Baseboard Buddy that involves no bending.

My deep-clean issue is that my DH is married to using the stove top to cook everything: sear meat, sautée everything... and we have no range hood. I...

It's been a week to the day since I got my flu shot. The injection site is still red and inching a little, but the slight pain, fatigue, and...

Diane Feinstein is dead.

OK you Queens of Clean, tell me—do you have a special tool to wipe down baseboards? Or (don’t tell me tjis! Haha) you actually have to bend over the...

Speaking of websites not working on mobile devices—- I have a temporary digital subscription to the St Louis newspaper. Its mobile version is pure...

And all the doors!! Can't forget about the doors. Dust settles into all the crevasses. I literally clean my house top to bottom each month. From...

The lane info is golden! I love that!

Yesterday I inquired at our small independent pharmacy here in town about the three shots. The pharmacist will give the flu shot. I need a...

My excuse…. I don’t even have baseboards in half of our house. They are being installed on the daily. But this discussion is hitting home because...

If you don't, you get what I looked at yesterday--I was horrified to see all this dirt and I thought I had cleaned it recently but obviously not....

do you mean, you clean baseboards of the entire house once a month? Argh!!, Nooooooo.

Me, too! That was one of the things I used to like about Flylady--her routines just made cleaning more mindless. I could handle a monthly deep...

Had to go to her profile to see if I recognized some of her past posts. Once I saw her profile picture, I knew. So sad to hear of her passing. May...

I am torn on this because I like the security of having a cell phone while driving especially since I'm on the roads between 3-4am when not much is...

Just like humans, carrying extra weight isn't good as they get older so I'd like to get him to drop a few pounds and maintain it. I spent a lot of...

Yes, it sounds effective and I would know it was being done if I scheduled it regularly. I like that.

Used to do it every other weekend but there was literally no dirt to clean up. Obviously I do light cleaning daily and more in depth (scrubbing...

My brother is convinced his flu shot gave him joint issues, and his doctor said not to get another one. That was last year's, though.

I never had a cat get to 14! My son's cat was born in 2006 and acts pretty sprightly--hops up in your lap still. My parents' cat was fed...

I like this idea of deep cleaning the house one day a month--maybe I should try that.

Not only is it Friday but it's "end of the month" Friday which means it's time to deep clean the house and take down some of the September's seasonal...

My work was giving out free flu shots. I thought about getting it but didn't. Everyone I know whose gotten flu shots has ended up getting the flu. I...

Wow! 27 or 28?? I have never heard of a cat living that long. I thought I was doing good getting a cat to 21 years old. Our other two died within...

Vet didn't give a specific number but Google says 10 lbs. My other cat is 13 lbs and she looks to be a more healthier weight. The fat one would...

This hits hard. Always loved her posts and felt a PNW kinship. I will really miss her pointed perspectives.

We had our Covid and flu shots yesterday. Hubby accidently hit me in the arm rolling over - YOWZA! Both of us have red and swollen left arms today....

I say make a once in a lifetime memory for your honeymoon. There will be many vacations to take your dog but only one honeymoon. You wouldn’t bring...

My parents had the largest, fattest cat I have ever seen. He came to them as a stray kitten and the best we have been able to figure through asking...

that is…quite a chunk of cat! how much should he weigh? He must be a big cat. Mine are 5 and 8 lbs, little guys. Even my last fat cat was...

One of my cats got fat shamed at the vet on Tuesday (It wasn't as shock :laff:) so I need to make a change in dry food to one higher in protein and...

There are so many things that are added to vaccines and some of them bioaccumulate. Given the ever increasing number of shots people are told they...

If a President can stop public employees from holding the public to ransom, then I think a President can pander to a union’s special interests.

One idea, then, is a dog-centered vacation. I don't know where you live, but if you live in the US, and particularly in or near the Northeast, you...

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! I can't speak for everyone, but DH and I had a humble honeymoon in NH in a motel that we thought was very...

I had the flu shot and RSV in my left arm on Sunday, then the new Covid shot also in my left arm on Tuesday. I'm a lefty, so I usually go with the...

Thank you everyone for your recommendations. I will take them all into account when making decisions with my fiancée. We appreciate your well wishes....

Apparently the Moody Blues made music videos back before that was common. ...

As far as making special memories, and all of that, sorry, I just don’t buy that hoopla. We just go where we want to go. Some trips are better than...

A honeymoon is just a vacation. If it is easy to take your dog where you are going, do it.Althought, as .catherine says, it depends on how good a...

I am married, and I have travelled extensively (for business, mainly). First of all, congratulations on your upcoming marriage! I would just go...

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm new here and hadn't had the chance to communicate with her, but it's still heartbreaking to hear that she's...

I'm in for that, too.

I am waiting dor a misty evening. Probably tonight here would have been good, but I missed it. that’s nice, Roger, but it may be too spontaneous....

I didn’t get any reaction to the flu shot. The covid shot gave me a sore arm the next day and a slight fever when I woke up the day after but that...

Yeah, I am definitely in a low-fun time.

If you would like to share a day and time, I'd go out in my yard for a little quiet meditation in my suburban wild at the same time. I believe in...

Sounds interesting. I feel I've been trying to be healthy since my 20s :treadmill:. Well I'm not dead yet I guess, though I don't know that I'm...

I think your ceremony idea is lovely, IL, and I think Jane 3.0 may agree. I plan to do the same here. She'd probably have loved our yard and field,...

This week has been very stressful and horrid at work, but today is calmer. I was given permission from the salesidiot to tell a douche bag new...

If a President can punish workers for their quest for a decent life, then I think a President can rightfully stand in support of those workers.

Oh damn. I will miss Jane's intelligent and interesting posts so much. Though I only knew her through her mind and commentary, yet feel as though...
