I cannot imagine how difficult and frustrating it must be for teachers right now. Your post made me wonder about the School to Work program at my former employer. The company has a longstanding...

I love Portland so much! I haven't been there since 2018, and it really pains me to type that. Have you gotten a chance to explore the city at all? They have the most wonderful winter lights, and...

We do have a generous driveway that allows us to park side by side, and it's only a few steps into the house.

You'll have to have us all over for champagne once you are settled in!
We have 19 coffee mugs, and DH commented one day that if we were going to keep them all, he wanted to use them all. So now I...

I try not to have things that are too good to use, but I'll confess to a couple of beautiful French jacquard dishtowels. DH is tougher on things than I am, but he also does all of the cooking, so we...

Wait, you mean there are places where people put cars in garages?? That's just crazy! We live in an area where most garages are detached, and more houses don't have them than do. In what I...

Tybee: I think it's a really challenging time of year, compounded by effects of the pandemic, to fall in love with a new place. Give it some time. I think Maine is wonderful. Is it too personal to...

We've lived in our house for almost 36 years, but since I've retired, I have a lot more opportunity to casually interact with our neighbors, and since Covid came to pass, that increased dramatically....

I will have to keep that in mind since wine corks are a bountiful resource around here!

Yesterday I asked DH if he could maybe make something with lobster meat (we had in freezer), pasta, spinach, basil and grape tomatoes. He could and he did and it was wonderful! Ate the leftovers...

I think TT has excellent relevant advice from both personal and professional experience. I would just add that even though your son thinks this is what he wants, it doesn't exactly sound like his...

That's great, Tradd. You must be both relieved and motivated!

I will admit that I'm pretty strongly anti-religion, so I rather dislike him on principle, even though I've never actually listened to him directly (although I've read/heard quite a bit about his...

Gentleman is on my list and I just added Eudora.

I'm sorry, Jeppy. That doesn't sound like any way to live. I do think that making reasonable updates and repairs to your home are reasonable expenditures, and it makes sense to do these while you...

Just finished, The Nesting. It was a horror novel with an environmental theme, "mother nature strikes back!" A fast, entertaining read.

Thanks, NewGig.

We've had good luck with salad greens from a local company, "Little Leaf Farms." I would recommend them for those living in my general area.

Glad you made it through, Happystuff. Hope you have some easier weeks ahead.

My Mom is on atorvastatin, and the thought of memory loss and confusion side effects with her already having Alzheimer's is horrible to contemplate.
My total cholesterol runs on the high side, but...

NewGig: Do you have a specific seller you have had good results from?

We tried shopping every two weeks briefly last spring, but we didn't do very well with it. We recently bought some new disposable masks that are supposed to have a 95% filtration rate (although not...

Yeah, that was pretty low. I just "ignore" the old-fashioned way.

That's wonderful news!

Just don't put the sundae in the spinner. It won't go well.
