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.

I read that New York piece, and the NYTimes piece on that, and I feared reading it, having had 3 cancer diagnoses in my immediate family in 2025. But...

https://youtu.be/NNlteyFLNlE?si=lkYmHQ_LbbyVmMfD This video is a great summary of the current legal environment in trans medicine for minors....

I was reading another forum and they were talking about LDB and it turned out it also means Long distance boyfriend. Rosa, can't resist: Bing...

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...

It's tragic. I read her piece about her upcoming death in the New Yorker earlier this month. She is a hero in my book, as is her mother, and her...

This isn’t a rant, it’s just sad. Carolyn Kennedy’s daughter is dying of cancer. This is one Kennedy death that can’t be tied to misadventure and...

I have a book checked out on Hoopla right now. It is Swallows and Amazon which is a British children’s book from the 1930s, one of those classic...

Cost: I’m paying for it all out of pocket. my doctor charges $65 per shot and the shots are once a week. I’m experimenting during the holiday season...

boy I think so. I’m already a little worried about growing out of the drug’s effect after long term use.

Side effects: none I feel. I am on a low dose, the typical starting dose. negative side effects are: reduction of muscle mass.. I’m supposed to...

I did the same when I moved to Texas. I even have a Houston card (even though I don’t live anywhere near there). I even have Hoopla now! I love it!

I’d keep the trays. I freeze lemon/lime juice plus other things in them. So nice when you just need a small amount. YLMV

What does the drug deplete from your body. B12, magnesium, calcium? ….worth checking and correcting, if necessary,

My only decoration other than a pretty Christmas card on the fridge… definitely minimalistic and I love it!

I see lots of articles in the NYT that there is promising research about the GLP1 drugs being helpful for other conditions besides weight loss.

My wife is on her 5th weekly dose and is showing steady, predictable results. She's wondering if you will continue with micro-dosing once you've...

Is this something you need to take long term? Side effects ?

Side effects?

Etiology of The Little Drummer Boy, complete with Missouri roots! come here to this forum for life’s trivia, you won’t be disappointed.

OK, sorry Alan, but I'm kind of with rosa on this one. It is true that I don't care who I give birth do, the last thing I would want after giving...

Did anyone ask Mary? "Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum On my drum? Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum"

Those are some great ideas, il. I do like attempting to do origami and always swore I would do some tree decorations. Just have to remember for next...

I'm so sorry such a nice endeavor had the "emotional tailspin" for you. I hope they all turn out well in the end!

And only recently, I've seen discussion as to how welcome a drum solo would actually be to a woman who just recently gave birth, in a crummy barn, no...

I like the Nutcracker, Carol of the Bells, Good King Wenceslas, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. There are also some more modern irreverent ones...

I'm with you on this, Rosa. The Libby app has some good features, not the least of which I can use more than one library card! If my local library...

Went through the freezer and got rid of some stuff that has been in there a while and won't ever get eaten. A ham, some chicken breasts, and a box of...

I could do without most popular holiday music but I do like "Sleigh Ride", especially the end where the trumpet whinnies like a horse.

I like to listen to the Nutcracker Suite at least once a Christmas. I actually prefer instrumental music or a few hymns versus the popular dreck. "In...

happy to send all renditions of LDB I encounter off to the both of you, lol.

I'm with you, Alan, for the reason you say. My other favorites are O Holy Night and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I asked Alexa to play...

Always being the odd man out I have to admit I like the Little Drummer Boy. I find it comforting that the poor boy had nothing to give his newborn...

That stuff is wonderful lovely! If I had disposable funds, I'd buy the house mouse tray. But there's nothing there that I WOULDN'T take in a...

The headline says it all! I had not thought about hating this drummer boy song any more than most of the drek out there. It is so tedious, yet, it...

I like “serious” Christmas music, mostly instrumental. the Bing Crosby/Andy Williams/old guy stuff and remakes of Xmas classics by current pop...

I love much Christmas music. Especially when no one is singing. I have my carefully curated selection of CDs and LPs. We don't play anything by...

Yeah, I hated that damn prison yard! ;)

No credit card debt here, Bobby!

Yesterday was my day to be with Mom, and it was the day for the music therapist from hospice. Guess what type of music he played? :laff: I quietly...

Catherine: I believe Tradd is correct, but please tell us more about your experience with prison yard lighting? Inquiring minds want to know! ...

That radio is awesome, and I think I just found my husband's next birthday present.

Well, I made them. I cheaped out and bought brandy instead of bourbon, which was a mistake. I froze two and so I might buy some bourbon on those...

Personally I love the Ginko leaf cloth. We have all stickley quarter sawn oak furniture, some with Inlays. We started buying pieces about 40 years...

. By coincidence that's a Stickley table under that cloth, from the 1930s or so. Ah, but... that only works when the Internet is...
