And I just followed you down that rabbit-hole, as though I need another list of books to lust after!

That’s an excellent suggestion. Having updated some estate planning documents this past week, the suggestion was made we write our own obituaries...

I wonder if she is a fan of the Spoon River Anthology?

We subscribe to our local paper. My wife has a strange fascination with obituaries. She thinks of them as little biographies.

Words to live by, for sure. Glad your life is back to normal.

It's great that GPS gets far more granular than what us mere mortals ;) may use. But if we are not allowed to use the really good version, one can...

LOL. To some, probably.

Every post is unnecessary.

I find it sad that members left, regardless of who they are.

Unnecessary post. Have a great day, everyone.

Think nothing of it. That epithet has been so overused I see it more as a sort of bookkeeping designation than a personal insult.

Don’t worry. I was just dealing with some stuff in what we jokingly call the real world.

Glad to see you back, Tammy. I hope LDAHL is back soon, too.

I love being outside and my backyard is beautiful. When I move into my condo I will spend time in one of our beautiful parks walking the trails like...

If you don’t like it, just don’t go there.

Thank you for posting this! I also live in one of those 80 counties.

Some notes on Coronavirus vaccination in Israel. About one-fourth of the population of Israel has received at least the first of two doses. The...

Off topic - I wish I knew why I am getting two identical posts lately. The 'submit' starts and stops. I just switched to a new provider for my...

Rosa, Thank you for this recommendation. I don’t know if I’ll read it or not, but it took me down an interesting rabbit hole of books that have won...

The ironic thing is, this app, does what GPS does. Some will say, no, it does finer detail, but they don't realize how GPS works. What us civilians...

I love being surrounded by nature. Like herb and others, I've tried to make time in my day to just be outdoors. Mostly I sit and daydream, but...

I try to always look at the bright side, and I subscribe to the philosophy that if you can't laugh at yourself, you are pretty much screwed! :laff:

When I first heard of forest bathing, I thought it exactly described what we do in the woods, really soak up all the sounds and sights and smells of...

I mix a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar with a tablespoon of sugar, add a teaspoon of celery seed, then add enough mayo to make a thin dressing.

I hope all ended well in this situation!

That’s a shame. I would have hoped that he would have thought about what Tammy was saying. But if not I suppose we’ll have to go on with our lives.

We just sub plain yogurt for the mayo. Apple cider vinegar, dab of oil and honey.

Commercial cole slaw dressings often include a lot of sugar (which I didn't care for even before it gave me health problems). I'm also not the...

I know what you're saying about commercial dressings, but I love Marie's coleslaw dressing, and I typically add apples and raisins to my coleslaw. If...

Seriously?? I really hope not. :(

I think it may be too late to apologize, he hasn't checked back in over the last 9 days so it looks like he may have moved on to a friendlier...

I made one of my January goals to spend at least 15 minutes a day outside, on days that aren't actively precipitating and I've been doing pretty well...

Me too.

Tammy, it is so good to see you posting, and I hope you stay.

If a disease was spreading that disproportionately killed smokers that could be controlled (theoretically this is a failed state here I realize)...

If everyone who came into contact with smokers got lung cancer at the same rate as the smokers then, yes, they would be hated as much as you hate fat...

I'm not aware of any way to ignore an entire forum and the question hasn't come up in the vBulletin support forums. Luckily for you, the left leaning...

This is why I am amazed that I am just reading about it now and sharing the info. It sounds like an awesome app to have on one's phone. That young...

I know quite a few people who've had it, quite sadly. Obesity? 1. Most are athletic. Wear a mask. Social Distancing. No crowds. No combining...

One of the original drivers for What3Words was very dense areas of population. While most of us are used to (named, often unique, and sometimes...

Masks: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818 Successful counties (one of which is mine) that don’t listen to people like...

Japan Confirmed Cases 324,942 Deaths 4,261 South Korea Confirmed Cases 72,340 Deaths

It turns out countries like South Korea and Japan have low covid deaths not because they are used to wearing masks but because few of their residents...

I am a weather wimp so definitely am not forest bathing this time of year, but I have to say DP that you have the most unique posts here and get...

As a neighbour, I hereby resolve to ignore the Simple Public Policy forum as the polarization of US politics is beyond my understanding. Mods, can...

I’ve returned to simply apologize for calling you a racist. I believe that our entire nation is steeped in systemic racism, which is reflected in...

It wasn’t just the travel over thanksgiving and Christmas. It was the unmasked indoor house parties/dinners. Many many people like a friend of mine....

When I collected unemployment I had taxes taken out of most of the unemployment checks, sometimes I just wanted the extra $100. I got all the money...

Me either. Things seem so unpredictable today that trying to place bets on the future seems like a shot in the dark. I'll wait until I can make an...

I LOVE the concept of forest bathing. While we didn't live in a "forest" in NJ (far from it), our house being next door to a wooded park fit the bill...

I live close to a large nature park that borders on Lake Washington; there are also several smaller lake front parks nearby. And my property has...

The Dems already seem trying to lose, I think they might be paid to lose, boy is that party horrible. Trump was not paid to lose merely a victim of...

Rosa sorry you had so much trouble but the way you wrote it was pretty amusing.
