Here's an interesting analysis of Scandinavian-style Democratic Socialism, and how, rather than undermining the free market economy, it actually supports and promotes growth. Personally, I'm not a...

We got rid of ALL our lights--we sold them to a neighbor who does her house up big--inside and out--so the more lights the merrier for her.

I managed to save some of my favorite Christmas...

I have this electric kettle

And I bought my daughter this one:

I bought mine when I was downsizing and didn't want a huge coffee maker cluttering up my sparse counter space. So I went with the...

So nice to venture out! Especially in the winter the temptation is to stay in. We are right on the lake, as you know, and the sunsets are always amazing. One morning I looked at the local newspaper...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way.. irritating...yes.

The green VW & God story reminds me of when the pastor of my church at the time (Presbyterian) literally said, on the...

I've tried reading LaMott and there's something about her that feels insincere. Maybe its the earnestness behind her constant self-revelations. Or her co-opted hairdo.

I used the GPSmycity for information on the things I was interested in, but I actually used the regular map on my phone to get me to/from the destination/hotel. The regular iPhone map is great for...

The mind-body connection is unbelievable. Everyone knows about the placebo effect, but not everyone knows how BIG an effect it is. In clinical trials, as a hypothetical example, the FDA might examine...

Looks like the baby took Geila's advice (shaved head :).

I'll do this little "snapchat" feature, too! This is fun! I'll also delete mine.

I'm a little more salt-and-pepper than you guys, but Simplemind and Geila, you look great!

Hmm, within 10 minutes after I read this post about 5G, I saw this Scientific America article that my permaculture teacher posted on FB about 5G. Maybe we need to start a thread combining this type...

Sounds wonderful, Tybee! I LOVE those kinds of simple meandering days, especially in a pretty town.

Along those lines, while not in a small local town, my rave was about my walk yesterday, too!...

Pretty much the same thing--I could save as a PDF but would have to remember to scale it correctly--otherwise is saves the same way it prints. Then I have to compile all receipts into one document,...

I submit them in a pdf file, but I have to start with paper in many cases. I do get many receipts, like hotel and airfare, electronically, but there are a lot of little things like Uber, restaurants,...

I stopped dyeing my hair in 2015... I probably look older than I would if my hair was still fake golden blonde, but I'm happy not having to keep it up all the time. The concern about chemicals was...

I'm with you on both counts. I like being near a large town/small city and Burlington is awesome. Unfortunately, it's not cheap either. My daughter just bought a house just across the Winooski River...

I think we're back at picture book days. I noticed the same thing--when I try to print out an Uber receipt for business travel, for instance, it's 3 pages long because the information is in big...

Wow. Great story.

Yes, and when you can't find the manual you stuck somewhere 10 years ago when you first bought an appliance--if you can find a model number, you can find a manual in a fraction of the time it takes...

I have a deep aversion to Black Friday, and particularly to the Black Thanksgiving creep. I'll go online and do Black Friday sales there, or CyberMonday, but I will never stand in line to get in a...

Yeah, but isn't she an aggressive sort of VP who might upstage some of the candidates like Biden?

On the plane to Japan, where I'll be for 10 days, I watched The Wife with Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce. The reason I mentioned my whereabouts was that this was NOT the movie for me to watch on an...

My childhood ambitions were to be a nun, an artist, a teacher, a French interpreter at the UN, an actor, a costume designer (I'm sure there were others mixed in)

So I wound up in market research.....

Congrats!!

We were never early adopters of the latest technology. Back in 1990, we still had a rotary dial wall phone--everyone else had push buttons. One of my son's friends came in and asked if he could use...
