I would have to move out. He could visit me. I would not visit him. 😄

I’m a Mennonite pacifist by history. I never felt lonely. I just enjoyed the day off. Now I’m a pragmatic agnostic. So on this holiday, I thought...

Impressive

I’m reading “life 3.0: being human in the age of artificial intelligence”. Which addresses this very question in great depth.

Went to a movie theater alone at age 50 for the first time.

I dont think anyone is a problem here UL - I think our society changes quickly and it’s hard to keep up. I heard my aunt (about 80 years old but...

It was less than 10 years ago that Ohio still had a “department of MRDD”. We always used “MR” in my work there in mental health circles from...

Fair enough and yes indeed. I first found out from a text from a neighbor on the block phone tree and then quickly looked online and the article I...

Yes! Yes! Yes! DH caught this morning. I am grateful for this too....and impressed as Human Rights prevailed in what is typically a conservative...

I agree with you, lmerullo. It was indeed his mouth/actions that got him fired. Rob

LDAHL.....I'm impressed. Stark naked honesty at this level has always impressed me. You are likely right here. I really don't fit into America and...

You and me both, Tybee, and I take it we are joined in this by Teacher Terry. The more, the merrier I say LOL. Rob

YES! YES! YES! I am so relieved that Scott Walker got the heave-ho. So joyous to see - even though I have no real links to Wisconsin, I engaged in...

Given that I live in a purple state bordering Nevada, I'm glad to hear of Nevada turning blue. Rob

No snark here, Alan, ok? This is going to sound snarky but I really don't mean it, honest. My point after that? Murder in the English language is...

Fair enough Tybee. I don't agree with rocks equating with lethal force. We could debate that for hours here but what really matters is the...

I'll grant you that context does come into play a bit, bae, but I stand by my post. I don't believe throwing rocks justifies lethal force. And...

At least the political ads are over. For some time now. Good riddance. Rob

It's going to snow a foot in Phoenix and stick! Seriously, the day has come where I completely agree with you and something you have posted. This...

In person cause somehow when I moved and signed up for early voting by mail - it registered me but not by mail. So I went to the Catholic Church in...

I never had mono. But when I got shingles at age 17, it was during a very busy and stressful semester,

I think I’m a libertarian at heart - but socialism appeals to me because I have a lot of empathy for people who are down and out.

Unless of course the doc pushes for the new one, and then I’ll probably go ahead with it with that 96% effective rate… The return of shingles is...

I think I’ll just be content with having received the original vaccine – the new one sounds more trouble than it’s worth

Rules serve to tempt people to break them. They are counterproductive. With kids, rules give them ideas for things they never would have thought of...

No. I had shingles at age 17, after chicken pox at age 6. I’m actually at higher risk of shingles a second time. It has to do with reactivation of a...

Can’t you just look for a woman - rather a woman of a certain ethnicity?

My husband has stopped voting. He would enjoy talking with you about this idea.

In my 20 yrs experience - those who worry about it are not what most people think of as “crazy”. They are just anxious. Truly “crazy” people...

I see it as “frugal alone” - like she can’t find anyone else to be frugal with her. :)

And I get lots of texts ... yet another venue to irritate me.

My kids would probably do the repairs that were still outstanding while visiting in the winter. I trust them more than I trust myself with that sort...

I didn’t like George Bush in 2001 but I didn’t think he was trending toward becoming a dictator. Trump is an entirely different thing. I fear for our...

I think the biggest transition for me was from Mennonite to agnostic. It took about 35 years. Wife and mother didn’t change me much. I was oldest...

Because bosses fear work from home. They think they will lose control. However research supports it as a more cost effective and efficient work...

I hate them because they stir up allergens.

Such good news

Hmmm - I’m realizing that I really don’t care what other people do. 😄

Chicken lady and I must have both been raised on farms. I had a suffering cat once at her end of life, who died instantly when I shot her in the...

TT. I agree that Alan's assertion here is ridiculous. I would add however that it will be interesting to see who is indeed responsible and what such...

It's an explanation that rings true to me and the overwhelming majority of people I interact with on a daily basis. TT and myself and far from alone...

For what it's worth, Bravo to you for teaching your daughter how to defend herself and that she has to right to do so in the first place. I've never...

Thank You, TT. Rob

Alan, you are a grown man and I understand you are free to think as you wish and also with legal limits to post as you wish. Granted. That said,...

I heard about the bombs being sent....and my take personally is that Trump may (indirectly, to be clear to the Conservatives here) be responsible. ...

Interesting, very interesting, Catherine. As a life long liberal it's amazing to me that I am taking a Conservative view on this issue but I've...

TT, I just want to say Thank You for your stance of being friendly to due process rights for men.....trust me on this, not all women are by any...

And how soon America forgets this! One nice comment I have for our neighbors to the North - Canada doesn't seem to forget this, at least not as of...

Thank You, TT. You have summed up Trump in a much calmer and more coherent way than I can (I confess I do get rather intense regarding my activism)...

TT, I just had to say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how you refer to Trump here. Just because I may have a few kind words for him regarding his take an issue...

Tybee, Hi! I have held off on replying to you for a bit as you are one of the posters here who regularly posts material that makes me revisit my...

People think I’m playing on my phone - but I’m actually reading books.

IL, why don't I try downsizing the brands a bit? Would you buy a Seiko watch online, for example? I understand that now even Seiko watches - a...
