Sounds very efficient, Kib. Nice to hear from you.

People have illusions about the past and how great it was. They want to go back to Shangri-La which never really existed. The young people wanted the opportunity to travel freely for work and...

Greta's concern for the climate affected the whole world vs the HK protestors who are very courageous is a more local issue to HK itself.

I do think the young are going to be leading the way...

Wishing you to feel much better soon and enjoy a wonderful time during the holidays.

DH and I discussed our wishes years before his passing. We consolidated our finances, updated our wills and knew what we wanted. Neither of us wanted a funeral, simply cremate and scatter the ashes...

Not sure how this is done but I have read that the demand from overseas schools and local libraries for donated books is enormous as their budgets are very limited.

My goodness, Yppej, that is too much of a load for one person to carry indefinitely. Some self-care is really important for you in whatever form you think best.

Fun to read the old thread.

Do you have an escape activity that gives you some room from both - think swimming or gym where you can work out or relax at keeping fit and healthy?

I remembered your loss of your horse. So pleased you found a new one. I don’t remember you doing dressage though. Is this a new adventure for you?

Unfortunately, you can only act on the things that you can. BIL and sons must be confused and hurting as well with all this disturbance going on for so long. When one can do nothing else, just love...

Tradd, it is satisfying when you have to fight to hold the line on accuracy and get confirmation on your decision. Good!

So sorry that it has turned into such a struggle but you are moving ahead with getting it listed. Hopefully it’s selling quickly and you can enjoy the holidays in some peace of mind.

Just out of curiosity, wanting to see if my induction cooktop is more fuel efficient as has been claimed, I measured 1.5 L of water into my stovetop kettle. It came to a vigorous boil in 4 min, 22...

Tell us about this pony please. Where you got it and what you plan to enjoy doing together? Horses are a major commitment but so worth it.

What is the volume of water that you are boiling for it to boil that fast.
I have an 1.5L electric kettle and it takes a few minutes to bring a full pot to boiling. I also have a 2L stainless...

Had to share my day. All around my area are reports of snow falling or threatened. It is cold and breezy. My wonderful contractor came and installed the chain link fence and it looks wonderful. ...

Double post

Are you familiar with a program called Flash Food? Under this, food that is within 2 weeks to 2 days of Best Before date, is posted and available for 50% off. It could be cheese, bread, produce,...

DD2 was telling me last night that on a recent bus tour to Europe, the tour director actually gave them access to phone maps to find and follow their interests on their own. They were really...

I so agree with the mind-body connection. I watch people talk themselves into old age but limiting themselves because they have reached a certain birthday. Suddenly their major interest in life is...

I think you all look amazing. As another has mentioned, so much else like posture and activities indicate aging. My hair returned to the original pearlized blonde of my youth after an adult colour...

Oh, Cath, that sounds so delightful. I was part of a 10 day tour of Japan and never thought about the idea of finding my way around using a phone and GPS. When has that been available?

I got...

When I was a child, today's technology was no part of my knowledge base. I felt TV was interesting but preferred to read books. I have lived my life as I dreamt it might be but so very much more as...

You are doing well with all your challenges covered. Any commitment to another and to a house costs more than living on one's own but it is worth it. So glad for the update. Wishing well as you...
