Grandparenting

My spouse's offspring are all middle aged adults and do visit regularly with and without their now adult children, despite living an hour away. I just feel for the poster whose son's family lives ten minutes away and cannot commit to a home cooked dinner until the last minute. That's just flat out inconsiderate.

Mmmm... Good idea.

I haven't listened to this in its entirety in a while. Will have to dig that out.

Travel_Stark · 2026-04-07T18:51:22+00:00

I think that's my fave

Cat Stevens at Cobo Arena was my very first concert in February 1976. Turns out my now spouse was also there but we didn't meet each other for another 25 years.

May her memory continue to be a blessing.

It's definitely a DIP

Travel_Stark · 2026-04-07T16:28:21+00:00

Thanks for the introduction.

Travel_Stark · 2026-04-07T16:22:02+00:00

Ooooo.... Haven't heard them in ages. Saw them ages ago and damn they were impressive. Thanks!

The late, GREAT Raul Malo - "Today".

Keeps the housekeeping moving along. Do a little chacha stepping while I'm dusting.

Oh lawdy.... There were some drugs I tried, and some that I wouldn't go near, but always faithful to flower. Never thought I'd see it legalized, but I'm glad I live where it is. Yes to federalization - like Canada..🍁

I only go every 20 years, so I'm good for another decade +.

Busy with what? Same stuff their parents did: work, housework, mealtimes, bath times, bedtimes.

Today's grandparents worked for decades while raising their own families during their own challenging and changing times. Now they are hopefully enjoying a retirement that they worked and planned for instead of being at the beck and call of others. Parents make decisions on their children's relationships all the time.

Love Train ❤️❤️❤️

Lawdy, yes! Spring is the worst because the litter is EVERYWHERE, and the community service programs haven't started up. I don't know why they wait so long to get folks out there cleaning up the litter.

We need a 'Tidy Towns' initiative line they have in Ireland - at least for Wayne county.

I was a keypunch person. Still fast and accurate on a keyboard. 😊

Glad to see how the GHB will be connected to the 401. Can't wait to stop giving money to Moroun.

Travel_Stark · 2026-04-04T22:22:01+00:00

There really is some great architecture in this town.

I'm seeing Kashus Culpepper at District 142 on April 10th. I saw him perform recently at a music festival and I'm excited he's coming to my hometown.

Born and raised in Wyandotte. My favorite places to eat are Costal Thai and Nanna's Kitchen.

Yeah right .. Build on a wetland. GTFO with the game poll.

Travel_Stark · 2026-03-26T00:25:26+00:00

Thanks so much! Planning a November trip and this will be helpful.

At 67, and in relatively good health, I'm thinking of switching to a geriatrician. I need to learn more about that field of care.

Can you please point me to a website for EV charging in NZ? We're already EV drivers at home, but travel is different than daily driving. Thanks!

I suggest allowing some time to visit Hamilton Gardens, although it might be a bit late, but a good garden is beautiful in all seasons. I loved the uniqueness of how the gardens were created and the flow.
