I’m laughing here because I wasn’t harmed by viewing a little bit of Let It Go. I mean, my Disney allergy isn’t anything that causes me pain. I...

But how Would I know that “let it go “is even a song? Let alone a song from a children’s movie? Let alone a song from children’s movie produced by...

98% of the MMM writers are dull. It’s not their fault, they’re just not professional writers. The few people who write well on MMM and who do...

i have no idea. And, apparently you have forced me to watch something from that Disney production Frozen that I have never seen. Nor have I seen...

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole watching videos of a guy who promotes New York City rentals. I watched him showcase these spaces, and some of them...

Rather than keep a journal in one place I blather endlessly in digital spaces all over the internet. I can use digital search tools to gather all of...

Here is a Fail. I sat down yesterday to list a book on eBay. I started reading reviews of it. Then, I decided to keep it and read it myself since...

Since I only allow discussion of Iris, lilies, and bulldogs into my Facebook feed, things are very serene in my Facebook world. I get my rock...

I think “brittle” is a good term. Hard, not flexible. Lotsa people are like this. We are who we are and no one needs to change, but there are...

Good to hear this CL. Yes, these Covid times have been a boon in some ways to us introverts!

haha. Ok maybe. The wonderful thing is that a few months ago I received a thumb drive of photographs from that side of the family, so I am...

Yeah, that’s me too. Also I am a skim reader and skim the boring parts. Unfortunately, I now skim too much and I skim over basic stuff in the...

It Takes one to know one! Haha.

yup, that’s what all the provocateurs say!haha.

Gosh. Are there others here who keep doing the same thing and expect different results? Makes me wonder… You could interpret this however you...

I didn’t know or didn’t remember that you have no financial investments. Well then. Jane, I’m just gonna give it to you straight —you and I...

I never thought UL was mean, I just thought he was extremely direct and he liked to be a provocateur much like George Parker. UL was pretty...

Surely you made comparable money in the financial markets? But who knows. Real estate roulette especially the kind of nuttiness it goes on on...

I think UL was rational, not sure why you think he was not. I get that you don’t like him though. Yeah I think we got that through and through.

razz, a few months ago I brought up the fact that I was listening to an Audible book and I didn’t like it. That’s when several people here piped up...

That is hilarious. We could make an amusing parody called “Your Money or Your Lie” that would have chapters such as: Drive your Hummer every day...

Only during Covid will I waste my time doing this. I want to clear $10 per book. In the last batch only 1/3 sold. I do not relist them, I move that...

yes!!! Oh yes yes yes! I have been eyeing these refinished dressers with floral froufrou accents for months now. Originally I thought I would do a...

I made $103.56 on eBay this month selling books.

The random nature of these appointments is maddening. A few minutes ago I read on Nextdoor that a local hospital is giving Covid shots to those...

The current finish of your dresser isn’t one that I would like, so painting it would only be better in my book. I rather like the trifold mirror.Hi...

I just had leek and lentil soup! Love leeks.

I know, exactly! I have been telling him that I expect him to quit the condo work after mid March because by then it will be gardening season...

That IS a lovely way to put it. I used to tell people who commented that we had no mortgage that they, too, could be mortgage free if they were...

I will carry permanent resentment toward the person on the board of directors (who by the way is supposed to be sophisticated in working with...

And I see almost everything as an exercise in values these days. Maybe it is the place in life where we are.

A little of Ayn Rand goes a long ways and those novels of hers are excrement. But not surprisingly, I identify somewhat with some parts of...

As I elaborate below, do-gooding on the basis of differing values is the problem. When I join organization A with goals to benefit organization A,...

I do mean it as less than complimentary because their efforts remind me of herd activity, group-think, going back to high school where THE group...

I am spending ridiculous amounts of time chasing down a way to get these French Coolie shades that I have fallen for made into a light fixture. The...

Dude, I have no trouble being judgmental. :~)

You have hit on something here. It is The New People in my neighborhood who seem to be anxiously quivering to “help” and I find that—jarring. It...

I think George Parker has assigned an overly negative connotation to “modest” as in modest goals. We are all talking about the same thing. This is...

Oh right! I love the idea of modest goals or modest expectations as I see them. That is how we achieve contentment in simplicity, by reaching for...

I might qualify as a “non trump Republican.” Please show me where I said the Jan. 6 debacle is “no big deal.” Your continued characterizations of...

hmm, ok I will take that under advisement. I doubt that I will ever mask up like a surgeon to wash chicken and avoid microscopic bacteria, but I...

Of course people choose what to post. Sure. I re-read your post as you requested and still get the same message from it. Maybe I am wrong. Are...
