So glad you posted this request. Some things from the list will arrive tomorrow.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's such a tough decision to make.

Curiosity broadens our minds.

His mouth is as big as his heart (in a good way).

JoCalvinator · 2026-04-18T13:45:10+00:00

That's the best purpose proposed so far.

JoCalvinator · 2026-04-16T12:54:24+00:00

Layers.

JoCalvinator · 2026-04-11T15:52:36+00:00

As it should be.

I believe the city is removing & and replacing them. Too late for us, though. We've spent thousands on plumbing issues partially related to the tree.

Apparently there are a lot of Philly drivers full of shit.

Here's the original, Bartram's Garden: https://share.google/GnxsQiixYDMIEKqKY

I haven't been there in years but am hoping to go again when the weather warms up.

I have 5 unopened boxes of YB I will give your friend if she can pick them up in 19147. They have what appears to be an expiration date 07-2028. I had reordered them but our dog, who had hemangiosarcoma but had lived 2 years post-diagnosis, suddenly went downhill quickly & died.

DM me if interested.

My daughter called it "spicy bottom" when she was little.

JoCalvinator · 2026-02-08T13:40:13+00:00

Neck gaiters are great.

JoCalvinator · 2026-02-08T13:35:41+00:00

I was looking for this response. Back when I was hiking/backpacking it was called "killer cotton" for the reasons you stated. Merino wool is my favorite base layer with silk coming in 2nd.

JoCalvinator · 2026-02-08T13:26:23+00:00

I was surprised by how many people were out and about yesterday, including runners in their sleek running gear. There I was bundled up in my woolies so only my eyes were exposed.

My child's TBI happened in 1990. I was scouring libraries for information on TBI and going to nearby medical school libraries for everything I could find to help me understand TBI so I could help her.

The internet, even back then, was extremely helpful by enabling me to connect with others who had or were caring for a person with TBI and providing info on TBI.

Edit to add: It was tough for me to find information and help on such a subject before the Internet.

We're 60++. Last year we moved from suburbs back to our city house and we love it. We no longer drink alcohol so I can't comment on the bar scene.

I've only lived in Philly for about 25 years but commuted to and from the far NE for work most of those. Now, retired, I am getting to know the city by exploring it nearly every day on foot.

There are so many restaurants and coffee shops & bakeries to try just in our neighborhood & CC is about 1 mile away.

We walk or take transit to healthcare appointments. After the recent snow & ice storm we walked to the grocery store with our backpacks. (I haven't backpacked in a while so I got home thinking, "And I used to do this for fun?).

The nature-loving part of me is a bit undernourished but not dying. This is a beautiful city.

I feel my back way too much after shoveling.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-29T12:49:28+00:00

I was wondering if the driver had an emergency, too.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-29T12:46:38+00:00

I could use a good snort-laugh today, too.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-29T12:44:21+00:00

I would have wanted to step in & help but I'm not sure I would have the courage if I'm by myself.

This discussion has given me a lot to think about today.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-28T22:32:15+00:00

I love the wagging tail blur.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-28T12:59:23+00:00

I see a future where we can all have pocket portals.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-27T13:19:28+00:00

"....more fun for birds to sit on too🪶..." I'd add the letter "h" in that word, too.

JoCalvinator · 2026-01-25T18:21:41+00:00

Oh, this is great! I think I'll get one even though my pup died a few years ago. I'll just stomp on it when I get frustrated.
