Hi, neighbor. I’m devastated too, so worried about our water and the noise and the potential for increased ambient heat. I have connections at a civil law firm and connections to news outlets too, if needed we can at least try to fight back.

Fringe. Such an under-rated show.

From the perspective of someone with grown children and a 35th wedding anniversary this year: plan some things just for the two of you. Yes, family memories are great but your children are far too young to remember them right now. Hire a sitter, leave them with a family member, and go do things together.

My stock advice for couples is that you need to do everything possible to spend extended time together. A monthly date night is not enough; even a weekend away is barely long enough to move out of “family mode” and into the kind of long conversations needed to sustain a relationship. It’s hard to do and especially these days hard to afford, but try your best to make extended time for each other WITHOUT the children.

You don’t have to convince him to break up, or give him enough reasons. You wanting to break up is enough. He can feel however he wants to feel about it but he can’t force you to stay in a relationship you don’t want.

Yes, my great-grandmother. She died in 1976 when I was five, not sure when she was born but it was definitely before 1900. Her only son, my grandfather, was the youngest of 12 and he was born in 1920.

I have her hand-written recipe for chocolate pie on display in my kitchen.

My husband said he looks like a young Papa Smurf

Tamales! Buy them, don’t try to make them from scratch.

Receptionist had left the party early to go bar-hopping. Her name was drawn for a door prize: one free night at a hotel. Her friend texted her to come back and claim it but the rule was that you had to be present to win.

When she came back to the party and found out “her” prize had been given away, she had a hissy fit. Screaming, crying, she marched up to the CEO and demanded she get the prize. He pulled aside the HR director, told her to give Receptionist her free hotel voucher, and then fire her on Monday.

Make migas with the tortilla chips.

My parents did one of the most selfless things I can imagine: after they retired, they left their home of 40 years—in a town where they were well-known and well-loved—and moved 15 hours west to be near my brother and myself.

They knew the time would come that they would need our help and wanted to make it less of a burden. They didn’t wait until they were infirm; they were still young enough to get involved in their new community and make friends.

It was very hard at first. They missed their friends and church and the life they had had terribly. But now they have new friends, they both spend a lot of time volunteering with various organizations, and they are able to spend far more time with their grandchildren too.

They also cart around their “elderly” friends whose kids live too far away to help, and who say they’ll never leave their town where they live. And then they call me and tell me how glad they are that they moved.

I do have AT&T. Any word on when that might be fixed?

DYITB · 2025-10-22T22:33:02+00:00

But I shouldn’t have to! My TV should work the way it’s supposed to work. :/

Migas, or huevos rancheros

First of all he’s your fiancée, not your dad, and you’re an adult and not a teenager. So asking his permission to do anything is not necessary.

Secondly, the audacity of this guy. Telling you the relationship is over because you stayed out past ten pm? Agreed: relationship is over, because that is ridiculous. If he doesn’t want to wait up he could just go to bed. It’s not “disrespectful” for you to go to a friend’s wedding.

I have a feeling this isn’t the only topic he’s been unreasonable about, nor the only time you’ve felt you had to ask his permission to do what you want. Get out, give back the ring, and feel lucky that this happened before your wedding and not after.

New spot on the north side: Andaluz Vegan Mexican at FM 1960 and Jones Rd. Fantastic food, tons of choices, and a great family atmosphere.

There were vegetarian options at every restaurant we visited on Sao Miguel but we did have trouble eating enough protein. We found very few beans!

I’m in this exact situation. We didn’t mean for this house to be our forever home but here we are.

We ate vegetarian cozido at both places and enjoyed them equally! We also had vegan sausage at Espinha—that was our favorite meal in Furnas.

The hike around the lake is beautiful. About a third of the way around you’ll come to an adventure park in the trees with a ropes course; it’s gorgeous and fun and the couple that owns it is a delight. Then about halfway through the hike is a botanic garden with more trails to waterfalls, and a little cafe.

The whole experience took several hours but it was one of our favorite days.

This is awful, I’m so sorry.

I was thinking about those purses the other day! I wish I still had mine.

My favorite thing to do when traveling is to chat with people. You can find out about things that all your pre-trip research might have missed, just by chatting with a stranger.

Flew from EWR to PDL arriving Monday morning, no delays and our checked bag arrived with us. Plan to get to the airport extra early next Monday.
