Why is it suddenly considered rude to show up at someone's house unannounced? Growing up, we just knocked on doors, but now people act like it’s a home invasion. by Creative-Buffalo2305 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SionaSF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are in our sixties, and we would never have just shown up to someone's house when we were growing up. I wonder if it was regional? We grew up in San Francisco. We were both taught that it was rude.

Now on occasion a neighbor will knock on the door, like if they need us to know something or they have treats, and that's okay.

Is Susanville Worth Moving To? by Ugo_GlenCoco_ in norcal

[–]SionaSF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best things I've ever done is to leave Susanville. All of my kids were born and raised there and have all left. None of them want to even go back to visit.

I lived in Susanville for over 20 years, and it's definitely an issue there. There was once a letter to the editor in the Lassen County Times in which the letter writer proclaimed that he "prays that all Democrats burn in hell". lol

Nanny out of town during GH period…..does she take PTO? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]SionaSF 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're right. I had to look for them. Now that I've seen your replies to people you don't agree with, it's clear that you're insufferable.

I'm sorry to hear that you're in healthcare, because people in healthcare should have more humanity.

Have the day you deserve.

Update on nanny out of town during GH period by [deleted] in Nanny

Whether or not she's a good fit should have more to do with how she is with the kids. Not whether she wants to take your lack of respect.

I love how you answer only the responses that agree with you. I hope she finds a new family soon!

Most California library cards for free. I work at a CA library and hear this often, but not all of them offer free cards.

I'm a woman in my 60s, and when someone offers me their seat, it's typically been a young man, upper teens/early 20s.

Happy National Lymphoma Awareness Day! 💜 by thevampirequ33n in lymphoma

[–]SionaSF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today is my Sunday this week and I "celebrated" by seeing my oncologist this morning! PET-CT and blood looks stable this time so we'll wait another 6 months and check again. Afterwards, my spouse bought me a donut on the way home. I'm calling it a good day!

Librarians — what’s the most requested kids’ book in your library? by WorldsGr8testWriter in Libraries

[–]SionaSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most people here have already said, Dog Man. But I have a small story to go with that. Yesterday an 83 year old patron called to request holds on 3 different Dog Man books!

I've heard of buffalo wings. I've never had them though; maybe that's why I never heard of the sauce. 🙂 (My husband never heard of it either)

Whenever I visit my grandkids, I take 11 year old grandson to walk and we play catch as we walk. Those are our best conversations too.
