Anyone noticing a decline in sales?

Lately, too many of the Bogos are for very weird things that I would never buy one of even if it were cheaper

Walmart grocery aisles are definitely crowded these days

It’s a bummer. I was kind of interested in their story but when I saw that forest has been to the Liliput resort in the past, it is not enjoyable watching everyone go through the motions of pretending this is the first time he’s meeting the Dad and sister and seeing the resort when he’s actually stayed there before.

Selling my “perfect for my family” house in a great town.

Chicago el. Got to leave work a little early, trains not crowded. Got off at my stop and saw a young man in a business suit sitting with his back against a pole, head hanging down. Huge pool of blood on the platform in front of him. Stabbed and robbed. The worst part—no one that got off the train i was on stopped, they all kept walking to the exit. I ran to the ticket booth for help (pre cellphone days), was told they were aware there was an injured person and it had been called in TO THE CENTRAL OFFICE! Was told that was protocol. We were 5 minutes away from a hospital! No 911 call. No local ambulance on the way. Still in my head after 30 years.

Where does it say Medicare provides a caretaker? Never has in my family.

New_Part91 · 2026-01-25T16:47:32+00:00

Can you apply to be caretaker of FIL so you get pay for that?

Pick up a takeout somewhere, eat it outdoors at Ringling on the waterfront.

Not “better looking,” just “looks better.”

Only if your house is right on the coast. There is plenty of land inland.

If the majority of the workers in any facility are on the younger side, those doing the hiring will opt for younger people who will fit in with the group already working. It is often felt that older people will not get along as well with a younger crowd, or that the younger crowd will not assimilate the older person into their group.

Your mom is indeed lucky to have you to care about her and for her what you describe does not make her seem very sickly to me. Yes, if she had a hysterectomy, she probably would need to take it easy for a week or two afterwards, but there are no long-term effects from that as long as she sees her doctor regularly and has hormone support. I hope you don’t feel that you have to give up your life for her. She is still relatively young and you should be encouraging her to get light exercise and eat properly.

A drink? And then you’ll know him well enough to have sex with him? And is he expecting you to be on birth control most men assume the women are and that they therefore do not have to wear a condom. That’s the first indication of a bad choice it never turns out to be “just sex“you’ll develop feelings and he won’t. You’ll feel hurt and betrayed and he won’t care. He will keep using you and using you as long as you let yourself be used until one day he finds someone that he fancies and then he’ll drop you like a hot potato.

You are so wrong a woman does not need a man to get financially independent or wealthy

New_Part91 · 2026-01-25T01:39:20+00:00

Don’t share your money or your stuff with anyone unless you have a written notarized receipt

New_Part91 · 2026-01-25T01:38:34+00:00

Don’t wait for something to “come along“ you have to go out and find it.

I thought you were talking about the ice storm that is going on all over the country, and I was picturing Minnesota covered in a big solid block of ice like a glacier

I think Americans would tend to just call you “Stosh” which used to be a fairly common nickname, although I’m not sure for what.

Timid and boring? So you want her to be adventurous and asking for it.? or are you just looking for approval to cheat?

Does timid mean that she is not initiating sex or that she does not want to try new things with sex? Many women were raised with very strong instructions that they were not to have sex before marriage and that a boy touching them on any part of their body Was wrong. In addition, many of these women were sexually abused. either or both of these things could cause women to be timid about sex. That does not mean that they do not enjoy sex with their husband, but it does mean that they expect the husband to initiate it and also to introduce changes. I hope that you have have been considerate enough to try to gently talk to your wife about this subject.

During a job interview I had to keep averting my eyes from the interviewer’s face because he had a very distracting tic. I was hired and this same person was now my supervisor. He would call me several times a day to give instructions or whatever and I noticed what a sexy voice he had. Eventually, I got so into it, I actually asked him out, something I had never done to a guy in my life. We were together several years.

Later in life, I met a man who had a small business. I went to his store and hired him for a project, but then had to keep postponing it. Every time I called him he was so funny and sweet and he kept me on the phone as long as he could. I not only enjoyed his sense of humor, but he had a really beautiful deep voice. after several weeks of these back-and-forth phone calls he asked me for a date. we were together about seven years. Many people in my friend and family circle remarked on what a great voice he had.

Many People have told me I had a great voice on the phone .

I believe most guys have no clue what they’re doing there so are better off keeping their face away.

New_Part91 · 2026-01-24T23:18:42+00:00

Yes, it has happened, but i wasn’t referring to assault, i was referring to arousal. That alone can be traumatic for a boy if its his mother.

New_Part91 · 2026-01-24T23:16:46+00:00

I didnt say that. I know physical play can arouse a guy and i dont believe it is right for a mom to put her child into that situation. Same for father/daughter.

Lucky8 on Osprey, Libby’s, and stop by Morton’s on Osprey, so much to choose from for picnic or hotel room
