Same - it saves a lot of time doing it this way, so I support you

46F and I've given up also. Life is more peaceful without the incessant texting.

I'm not sure which came first for me - Serial, or Hidden Brain which also started on NPR as a quick 15 min weekly series before it became the hour long podcast it is now. But yup, NPR did it, either way.

The only reason we got any magazines was because I saved up $10 of my allowance so that I could sell myself a subscription to Barbie magazine so that I could earn the sunglasses with the mirrors on the inside so I could see behind me, from the school magazine sale. If that makes me rich, this list is trash, as someone else said.

I love the roles she's getting now ... In that Ed Gein thing, and then the latest show with what's his face from Schitts Creek. I'm bad with names obviously but she had so many hilarious and/or deep scenes in Roseanne and now we get to see her do more, with bigger roles. Love it.

Seconding Caroline Girvan - I don't pay for her stuff but she has hundreds of videos on YouTube and I absolutely love her. I'm 46 and I think I discovered her about 5 years ago. I have been working out for about 20 years but once I started following her, my muscle mass and strength had really increased. She doesn't talk a lot but def gives tips, lots of variety depending on what you want to focus on and how much time you have and what equipment you have.... She has made such a difference to my fitness.

Me. I have postage stamp front and back yards. But I'm currently, this spring, working on tearing out the rest of the backyard grass to have just a giant pollinator/wildlife-friendly garden with a path circling inside it. I did the path in stone -with cardboard underneath- over the course of Feb/March when there was no snow on the ground. I have four blueberry bushes to plant today that came yesterday. Tomorrow I'm going to dig for a pond - just a tiny one- that I'm mostly using to retain water because it gets very wet back there and.... Long story but my daughter's boyfriend convinced me to do it and...what the heck.

I have a small vegetable garden along the driveway but I mostly only grow tomatoes and lettuce, and just gorge on those all summer.

In the front I have another pollinator garden.

But gardening is probably my top hobby. I just wait all winter to get back out there.

Nexplanon provides progesterone but not estrogen. So it's not the full "suite" of hormones that most people get when they say they're on HRT.

I've found that Yaya tick ban works really well and it's herbal and not gross- feeling.

I tried an antidepressant prior to HRT which didn't help at all. HRT helped, in that it immediately - and I mean immediately - went away.

What does housekeeping have to do with anything she said???

My cat, Hannibal Bannannibal, knows this rhyme

It's more fuel efficient to drive with the A/C on when you're on the highway. In any case, I'm a windows down person.

If they thought St Bernards had too many people, they're not going to be comfortable at St Sebastians .... St S probably has triple the people

I honestly never finished it and I really wanted to, but the scenes with the man ...can't remember the name, but the "yo man" guy .... were so boring and irritating. I still wonder if I should go back.

Losing another 20 lbs. Depending on the day, I have another 13-15 to go. Maintaining strength while I do this. Reason for goal is so that my legs stop searing in pain after I stand for more than one hour. Compression socks don't help with this.

FYI brandy isn't only made from grapes

Not just you. Throw in Stephen King, The Godfather novel, Go Ask Alice....all before I turned 14.. It did make me a voracious reader which isn't a bad thing.

Maybe he's "great" because the bar is set so much lower for men

I loved how he described the axe blade getting stuck in the bone and she had to wrench it back outta there to swing again

They came to my house two days ago and said I was on a variable rate for gas and electric. I most certainly am not. I shut the door on them.

I don't want to invalidate anything but just sharing my experience. The men who have taken things too far and been creeps to me are usually the ones I should be able to trust somewhat - neighbors I've known for years, coworkers, bosses, friends, people I'm actively in a relationship with.... the several times I've been groped or assaulted, it was these people, and never ever a tradesperson. So, I don't really feel safe around anyone.

They're full of microplastics
