A Typical Day in the Life of Molly Bean

My wardrobe is black bottoms. Brightly colored tops, mostly in shades of pink, purple, blue. A few black and white prints. Shoes are all black except...

I had NPR on while doing errands the other day and I'm pretty sure they said $100K for an economy guided ascent and $250K for a deluxe with a small...

okay----i had a sudden Format Change! So yeah---i spent part of the late evening listing to stuff you kids would scorn. Genre: soft Rock, Yacht...

Not mountain climbing or anything that extreme, but I was surprised by meeting someone extraordinary the other day in a most mundane circumstance. ...

I read in NYT that Gen Z thinks leggings are gross which made my heart sing. They apparently like baggy now. I am sticking with something in the...

Some might tend to think then that the Nobel Prize has become rather empty of meaning. Unlike the days of Al Gore and Carter.

Costco pharmacy rocks! Never thought I would pay a fee to shop but Costco’s pharmacy prices more than pay for the membership. Went today and asked...

okay----here's my tabby-tortie. Her name is Puma, because she's a pseudo-cougar, and a certified Box Catt. Yup. (see photo) But yeah---she was...

Was thinking recently about the trends in clothing. Do you wear clothes to be “in style” or would rather wear clothes that look good on you (and may...

That is a joke. He is TACO man!

Mandela was not in office when he tried to overthrow the government. He did not try to overthrow to remain in power. That’s the difference IMO. He...

Republicans ARE being unreasonable! This is a blatant case of gerrymandering! The redistricting was done not long ago. It is scheduled to be looked...

I'm not so sure that any Texas lawmakers basic rights of freedom are being violated given that the Texas Legislature procedural rules for Quorum...

There may be something to that. However, I asked the question in response to another poster's question of "Nobel Prize for what?" to subtly point out...

I have been making an effort lately to weed out clothes and shoes and it is a slow process. I am a solid #2. Reducing to several colors is a good...

I love your suggestion, happystuff! That's exactly what I'll say! I always have to practice NOT being apologetic for everything I do!!

That is so cute, catherine! Personally, if you don't tell them in advance, I'm sure they will be out to see what is going on when construction...

I think the fact that Obama got the prize and he hasn't is one of his primary motivators.

I have no clue. Some people still apparently believe the orange man that the overseas country (exporter) pays the duty.

I love this--you at a shopping mall is like Stranger in a Strange Land.. And I love how you put H&M in quotes--I think most shoppers are VERY...

we pay our Dog Sitter $10 per visit. Yes I know this is cheap. We also gave her a Christmas bonus but not as much as I wanted to give her, DH slowed...

My trip to shopping mall land was…interesting. This major mall in a big college town was eye-opening. It was not crowded at all. Apparently shopping...

That is insane, Tradd. How do people believe that this type of nonsense is NOT going to hit the consumer?

Both in a way. We already have three outbuildings (used as storage) on our property, so they may view this as excessive. And they might not like the...

That seems kind of insane. It reminds me of a movie, Conspiracy, with Stanley Tucci and Kenneth Branagh and Colin Firth. Seems apropos.

Is it the size of it or is it the extra people coming to use it? If you ordered that as a writing shed, you wouldn't tell them, would you? I'm just...

We pay our cat-sitter $20 per visit, 2 visits per day, so I guess we're in the middle. It is so tough when we're near the end with our pets. It...

I would probably tell my neighbors if we had a friendly relationship, but you certainly know the relationship dynamics better than I do.

Youngest got rid of a desk and everything in it pretty much. He bought himself a new gaming desk which meant his old rickety desk had to go. We...

Over the weekend, 407 HS codes were added to the list of HS codes subject to steel/aluminum duties. This even includes things such as perfume, which...

Just our government? Because the first part I think you would revise your statement, aka Nelson Mandela.

Catherine, don’t worry about it. Your neighbors WILL talk about it or “gossip”. It will be fine, it is cute.

That's like a yard barn--no biggie.

Very cute!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Nobel_Peace_Prize For a start, I can’t see the nobel going to a convicted felon or someone who tried to...

I actually don't have the link, because I didn't purchase it, but I do have a picture from the kit specification list.

I know that if I were exercising my duties as an elected official, and someone tried to interfere with my ability to do so, there would be...

Haha! You have the right idea. I use the camper for that purpose!

Yeah, I know. I think he's suspicious that the neighbor will raise a stink of some kind. I agree that he might, although I would rather be above...

Could also be an “office” where you are writing your book when not occupied by kids?

What did Obama do for his?

Is this a tiny house? I want to see a photo of the model online!

Nobel prize for what? Being TACO man?

We are in dire straits when our lawmakers are held captive if they do not bow down and are DEMANDED to sign papers to have police guards! Basic...

Other question is how big can it be before you need a permit, and are within all the legal requirements? Do you have a HOA?

My granddaughter is doing rock-climbing. It would make me faint as I am afraid of heights. She is not. It seems like some people are wired to...

Why does he not want you to say something? This would make me uncomfortable since I am close to the neighbor and she is my friend. How does he plan...

At a certain point I have to start thinking "if the American people are going to put up with this nonsense, they deserve what they get".

Yeah, there's the rub. We have had a great relationship with the neighbors, in exactly the same ways you mentioned--consideration, working together,...

It would depend entirely on my relationship with my neighbors. My current neighbors on both sides, I tell them when I am leaving so they can keep...

I see the editors of National Review have commended the President for taking action against a lawless rogue state. But enough about the District of...

Well...my old cat is still here. Wobbly and disoriented but still nibbling on food and drinking water. My long time cat-sitter just called and said...

It used to be that any fool with $50,000 could make an attempt at Mount Everest.. I don’t know how much it costs now but it’s not necessarily a Game...
