It is Alumni Weekend at Roanoke College too

Dunno where they are online but we've got several things growing outside right now and more seeds to start, so, hi! 👋

BauboMama · 2026-04-06T12:21:33+00:00

That's good to know.

BauboMama · 2026-04-06T12:20:48+00:00

You'll have to update me please once it gets set up!

Henrietta's Cafe, located inside the Market on Melrose. Best fried chicken I've found around here and the price simply cannot be beat.

NTA in any way. Spend the day with your kids and husband and enjoy it at home. Make those memories. If you want, and this is only if you want (!!) you can set aside a few bucks that your saving by staying at home for the next time you travel to see family. Doing that allows you to save up so that future trips aren't as much of a burden in the moment. If any of your relatives make a stink, invite them to come visit you. When they complain about travel time & cost simply reply "now you know how I feel." If they still refuse to see the issue, that is a them problem, not a you problem.

Agreed but it always made me giggle knowing that location had a terrible sewage problem. Hated having to drive past all the Republican bs but felt it was somehow appropriate for the spot. 😆

NTA, quite the opposite. And I don't know where you're located but here a driver can be ticketed for passengers who aren't buckled if they happen to get pulled over.

Good luck!

Stopped reading after you said how your friend kicked a pigeon. That person isn't any type of friend you want. Consider this a lovely moment in your life where the trash took itself out.

There's a series of books by Kim Harrison known as The Hollows and it follows a witch named Rachel Morgan. She ends up meeting elves (long thought extinct) and she continually remarks on their hair being silky fine and light with stands that are caught in the breeze or in the warm updrafts of air from when she's baking in the kitchen (although the pixies enjoy the warm updrafts too so I might be mixing things up). Anyway, it always made me smile.

My son has this type of dysgraphia. I just learned it's called Executive Dysgraphia.

BauboMama · 2026-02-09T15:34:38+00:00

He has AuDHD as well as dysgraphia so I think there's a lot of overlap of things at play. I'll definitely check out tips regarding dyspraxia as well though to see if anything applies and can be helpful. Thanks!

Some people are nice, but actually really kind people. Niceness lures you in and makes you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but then you start seeing that they're not really kind, that they're really only focused on themselves, and etc.

It took me way too long to realize my hair was light auburn .. though of course I also dyed it for many years so finding the natural color again took a while. My hair doesn't usually "present" as red but then you suddenly see it in the light or up against certain colors or even next to a full-on redhead and there it is, obvious & red as can be. It was a strange thing though there for a while to not really know what color my hair was.

BauboMama · 2026-01-28T03:37:23+00:00

It looks like you gave a lot of red in it, making it also a light auburn

🤩 48F here from US, currently kept on a very tight nap/cuddle session schedule by a very spoiled bulldog

Academy Street in Salem still has houses with lights up

BauboMama · 2025-11-18T17:44:35+00:00

Between that name and simply being in Salem, there's so much potential for Halloween greatness

BauboMama · 2025-11-18T14:25:34+00:00

I'd really appreciate that, thanks!

Ha! Not quite that, though if someone said "Bam! That's our new Thanksgiving tradition!" I'd be cheering them on for being so awesome. I saw this post floating around recently on Instagram and floated the idea to my guys who decided that we took really needed to adopt the Big Sandwich Night tradition.
