The pumpkin on my doorstep is a genius compared to what we have now.
I actually haven't posted here in years, but was feeling so anxious about the election tomorrow (I am a liberal) that I thought I would visit my old online community, and was impulsed-itemed (just...
Bitter and Jaded here! Lost my health because of Ivy League Academic Stress Syndrome (I just made that condition up; but don't worry, in a few years it will be a verifiable illness).
I too...
The more onesies, the better! I used to go through three or four of them a day, since my babies always had a lot of those (too-much-info-alert) massive, blow-out poops that went all the way up the...
Zoebird, I tried to edit my last post to add something addressed to you, but I still haven't quite figured out this new system, and my editing-to-add didn't work. But I wanted to say how your post...
Thanks so much, everyone, for your thoughtful responses! There's a lot of food for thought here. First of all, to Anne Lee, I have already asked my rabbi--but I asked the rabbi of the Reform temple...
Wait, I just skimmed the thread, and still don't see what that one surprising thing is that saves the marriage, and I don't want to read the article. Can someone just name it?
Hello everyone! This is my first post in a while. And I have wondered where to post it. It's about religion, and families, and holidays. But since it wouldn't even be an issue if we didn't have...
Yes, I'm wondering about that word as well. Isn't an iron something you find in a vintage items shop?
For my part, I have lived away from my parents for 31 years now, married and borne 3...
For us, it all depends on whether or not WE have young children too. When we all had young children, guests and hosts, we took turns--one or more adults watched the kids while the others helped get...
Hey, thanks everyone! And thanks for the suggestions about Williamsburg, and the links! I forgot about the punched tin thing, how did I forget?; now I remember using foil pans cut out, punched with...
Parents, especially those of you with boys (or anyone at all, actually!), can you help me? Our third son is 8, and my husband is not the boyscout leader type, and thinks that the boyscouts are some...
Just one thing to add, from the other side of the fence--when we lived in CT, we actually got an official citation from the city once, saying that we were in violation of city code #%^^&&** because...
I agree with others that you could probably call social services, the city, the police, etc, and at least get these neighbors to remedy the obvious violations of city codes and federal laws. And...
YES!!! We hope to get our older two kids off to college (oldest is going this fall), and then move, assuming one of us can find work. This is the big challenge. But it costs so little to live off...
Congratulations, Stella! How wonderful: two girls, then two boys! You'll never have to "entertain" your kids. They'll just play with each other, instead of whining "I'm bored", as our "only child"...
Thanks for all the compliments and encouragement, SL-ers! Looking at my pictures in the cold light of day, I see how silly it is to have so many of the same room, but I went a bit overboard in my...
I am back, after a long hiatus of not posting! Well, there were a couple of random comments a while back, but I am now intending to visit here more often now. Here's the story: After having to...
This is the weirdest discussion I've seen yet! Half the respondents are missing the sarcasm of the other half.
For what it's worth, we're a couple of incessant NPR radio listeners, although we...
What's a "baby mama"?
Oh, I just looked it up. In this case, is it a "man is no longer involved with the mother of the child" baby mama, or a "they're together and have a kid, but are not...
Pony mom, can you rewrite your answer from the point of view of the patient? Can I do this by myself? I've tried to figure this out, and I can't get past "while lower leg is vertical". I've been...
Ok, my rant (after a several months' break from not posting; so sorry my first come-back post is a maniacal gripe) is in the same category as SoSimple's--having to do with health insurance. We...
I missed this thread too, as I haven't been visiting the boards lately; but Anita, my heart goes out to you. My mother had a stroke almost one year ago, and lost all her speech--totally gibberish;...
Hey--me too! Are you two members of the Society for Creative Anachronism? If not, think of all the fun you could have if you joined, and attended jousts and mock-battles and Renaissance fairs and...
