Binge watching Homeland, the series from a dacade ago. Pretty good "date" series, meaning both DH and I are enjoying it. Claire Danes, Mandy...

Homemade minestrone soup and chana masala and rice. Italy/India mash-up.

By your logic I live in Ohio but I'm a Missouri native. Overall, my adopted team is better than your native team, just Sayin!

okay-----Looka this(see photo)---Son of one of the richest men in the world---a dead member o' the mop-topped foursome---and the kid can't even...

Chicken thighs in the air fryer.

I don't have a lot to add to this discussion. I've been a homeowner and have never benefited much from it. I'm a happy renter now in a 55+...

So sorry, Tybee!

You're from OH, which already means you're broken! <--Michigan native

okay----i sat-n-watched a couple you toob videos about repairing/restoring the gel coat on fiberglass parts. The applications were boats, but guess...

I love warm. Currently sitting in 77* Port Arthur Texas thankful that I'm not in 28* Windsor Ontario. Different strokes huh?

My motto is: Cold is good. Cold is life. I love cold. Windsor, ON is actually south of Detroit!

I will not live north of interstate 80.

My mother was born in Canada,1923, but became a citizen of the US in 1945. Grandparents on both sides were born in Canada/ I kind of looked into it,...

Way to go, Tradd!! Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

I think I miscommunicated. It just brought me back to having my mother, and made me miss my mother, the old mother before dementia. More of a grief...

Office manager just texted me that system is back up, but we need to change password to 14 characters. That needs to be done at work computer so I...

Went to the Farmer's Market with some friends yesterday and splurged on some gourmet burgers. That was dinner last night - just the burger, no roll...

Hope you get to have a restful and relaxing vacation, tradd!

You did great, Hana!

I've been through my home ownership story once, but I rented until I was almost 50 and found it totally satisfactory. It might be just right...

Over the past 40 years, as investments, my stock market portfolio has massively outperformed residential real estate performance. I think “your home...

I watched Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix comedy special “Unstoppable “which dropped today. It was really good. He addressed Charlie Kirk’s death,...

I think Ramit still rents but he’s in one of those very high cost-of-living places in California. Sure he doesn’t want to spend money on home...

okay----yes, yes, yes: Christmas in Caracas!

Ramit Sethi always bangs the drum that home ownership is not for everyone and it shouldn't even be the symbol of the American Dream. Even he rents...

Though more of a millennial, I sometimes ponder DD's lifestyle and wonder how they do it...A 3000+ sf house, new cars, gym memberships, coffee and...

and for sure Boomer and Millennial parents have encouraged those excessive expectations. Dave Ramsey had a call in the last few days from a mother...

I could speculate a lot of disparity among regions and localities. There are nice places in my state where an entry level banker, or teacher, or...

Immdiately pre-Covid, I knew families who didn't want their kids to go to community college as it was beneath them. They had to go to four year...

I'm with Bae. They definitely whine entirely too much. They have unrealistic expectations about home, salaries, etc. They want to have NOW what their...

my starting salary in 1980 was around $13,000. But I didn’t live in Silicon Valley. That was hard, bae. I had a perfectly adequate salary to rent...

Three of my kids own homes as you know, my son bought our house. My second son purchased his house in Burlington in his 20s through the Champlain...

I think some of the younger folks whine entirely too much. Also, I’m not sure they can do math, as they seem constantly surprised that older...

I read that earlier today. The comments by older folks were interesting since many of us recall how frugally we lived growing up. There are so many...

I read that original essay and I thought it was pretty provocative. I do think that the "price of participation" has some merit, although I also...

I think Tybee was the one who told me about the change in Canadian law that would allow me, with a grandparent born in Canada (came to US in 1930s...

Arg, Tradd, that sounds awful. Hope they get it up and running soon, sounds beyond frustrating.

Work system was down when I got into the office yesterday. It was down all day - emails, industry specific software, even phones - except for a brief...

Tybee: I'm sorry the smells of childhood Christmases did not evoke warm and happy memories for you. I hope you are right that involving your younger...

Alan: She was surely just being polite! Tybee: The only virtue I can see in the faster version is that it might end more quickly, sorry!

I gave away two multi-tools from Mom's house on FB. They are like new and would make great stocking stuffers. A multi-tool is about the last thing...

for key clean out I envy you your single life. I have to fight with DH about keys. Sometimes the best I can do is separate all the keys that work...

I've been on a roll for clearing out odds and ends. Today's project was a jewelry box with about a bunch of keys of unknown purpose. They'd been...

that is a nice clean space. now I see what you mean by ornament tree. it is indeed a tree made with ornaments.

Beautiful, and two coffeepots--how wonderful!

Thank you, that's so nice of you.

My doctor said she goes up in dosage when weight loss stops for a month. That seems a bit draconian to me, but I haven’t reached that yet so we shall...

I do not know if B12 is depleted. From my understanding, EJ Lily owns the patent to tirzepatide and it cannot be sold in pure form by anyone else....

Is B12 depleted when weight loss drugs are taken? I am too chicken to use any pharmaceuticals but if it works for you, that's great.

That's exactly what my wife is taking. As she explained it to me the dosage is graduated over time so her first 4 injections were at a certain dosage...

Misadventure, recklessness, and…craziness. Kinda the Kennedy brand. I just read that Cheryl Hines, RFKJ’s current wife, was Rob Reiner’s personal...

The drug I am on is tirzepatide + B12. Many people my age have SOME arthritis, which involves inflammation. I don’t see it in my hands very...

I do not know what drug you are taking but you would be wise to see what it depletes from your body. BTW inflammation is not normal at any age. A...
