city planning and zoning paperwork. enough said >:(

I understand that's the practice in the Mormon community, when the word is out that you are "in mourning" then you'll be the recipient of some food delivered to your house. Don't know if they do...

That's pretty fast cash. So is this a room and board situation, too?

ha ha catherine, so funny!

Agree. If it's threatening to your physical or mental health, then boundaries are in order. And you get to decide the definition of boundaries.
The perps won't like it, but if they've crossed...

I think your last sentence says it very well. Best of luck with this and with the transition. You deserve a peaceful household.

Enjoyed what has become our traditional Mother's Day pancakes restaurant breakfast with my offspring. Relaxing, cozy just the two of us. Compatible, funny adult kids are the reward for the crazy...

I went to a seminar once where the teacher said when she taught women's groups she called it "intuition" and when she taught mostly male business types she taught the same course calling it "gut...

I grew up working class/borderline poor. There was one paycheck to support 8 of us, and until the oldest 3 kids grew up and moved out it was years of counting every penny. Surprisingly, my dad who...

Hopefully the banks have done something to counteract this kind of attack. Seems harder and harder to keep one step ahead of the cyber bad guys.

shadowmoss, can you tell us when you're planning to be back in the states (unless you are already and I missed it, or unless you'd rather not say ..)

Related to this, a while back I read of a teen's act of kindness. She wanted to volunteer at the homeless shelter but wasn't sure what she could do. By chance she ended up mending a torn jacket for...

Thanks for putting your skills to use for us - much appreciated.

Fixed a hole on an inside pocket of my purse. Why is that material always so darn flimsy anyway? My keys and/or my pen worked a hole big enough to let things slip inside, and it took me about a...

Stories about Wall Streeters hard drug use are rampant, but no drug testing required. They're not piloting a plane, but they are entrusted with pension funds and other monies that they treated...

Just a tangent off of this - when I've watched the show Hoarders I'm fascinated by those who cannot seem to separate their 'self' from their 'stuff.' Literally, even the hair their dog sheds or the...

Beautiful colors and so fluid. In my next life I'm going to be a wealthy patron of the arts so this kind of creativity can flourish!

Went to a work-related seminar with a long-time friend and we ran into a former co-worker we hadn't seen in years. She was thrilled to be invited to a happy hour with some of our other former...

One problem is the use of marijuana and the DUI laws. It appears that marijuana can be detected in the system up to a month after you used it, so if you smoke and then 3 weeks later drive and injure...

I second a lot of these ideas, but I'd change the ball to a beach ball type - that way nobody gets hurt if they get bonked with one.

Interesting, thanks for posting, SteveinMN.

I had a landscape guy tell me once that the wood chips attract roaches. Well, that's all he had to say and so although I like the look of it I never used it. But is it really true?

Well said, Gregg - pretty much sums up my experience too.

This is interesting. Didn't I read somewhere that ham radios were a big help during 9/11 when cell phones etc. were either overwhelmed or not working?
This appeals to the survivalist in me. I'm...

I was a little surprised to read in other forums that there are members who think Public Policy posters are chasing other members away. Even those who don't even read or post in here.

My take on...
