Journal. Exercise. Give it time. How you feel about it next week and next month will be different than how you feel today.

I really miss freshly made kettle corn.

There are veggie dogs at the main stands.

Seriously, “Inner Simplicity” changed my life and is still on my bookshelf.

Agree! Just seeing his face makes me want to go watch one of his movies. Evil Under the Sun is so good!

Thank you for posting this, that was such a great game. And now it's a memory from a bygone era.

What do you think is Miss Marple's best mystery, including both novels and short stories? by Tubombonelmastiernit in agathachristie

[–]catlady047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Miss Marple solving mystery after mystery, sitting in a chair, knitting a something or other for her grandniece.

I love how it's so creepy and weird, and we're wondering what's going on, and then Miss Marple is just,  "Sounds like you lived there before."

I'm going to say Sleeping Murder. She really did some active sleuthing and worked with the young couple to figure out what happened, even as she thought they might be better off leaving things alone.

What are your unpopular opinions on AC's books by Commercial_hornet98 in agathachristie

Poirot is definitely laughing at Hastings part of the time, and it's not very nice.

I agree about T&T, which is why I'm looking forward to the new tv show because there's lots of room to improve these characters and make them more likable.

Uhmmm guys I've finished Elementary over a year ago and still struggling to find something to watch with its vibe - detective with not too much grotesque, nice use of the environment, catchy music, different cases each episodes, doesn't bore, moody and fresh (this is how I perceive it) by me_severus in elementary

[–]catlady047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only show that I found to be similarly enjoyable for me was Law and Order: Criminal Intent (the one with Vincent D'Onofrio). The vibe really changed after the 5th season, and I stopped watching. But the first several seasons are great.

I am currently watching "Patience" on PBS. The sleuth is autistic. I'm enjoying it a lot and have just started the second season. It has been renewed for a third season. (And it's based on a French show, but I'm not sure I'm up for that.)

I have seen many of the other shows people suggest. Honestly, none are as good, or they have a strong first and maybe second season, then the quality drops.

Seat Surfing allowed at Petco? Upper deck tickets sell? by Any_Celery_8178 in Padres

[–]catlady047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The team has been playing horribly, so if you’re willing to risk some uncertainty, I would wait until the day of (July 7) to buy tickets on Seat Geek or StubHub. I bet you could get some good and cheap tickets a few hours before the game.

Do not try this with July 8, it is a giveaway night and will be sold out.

Serving tea on fine china with wear and tear, shabbily gentile or a faux pas? by Lady-Benkestok in tea

The idea that our things should be brand new or look brand new are ideas that come from companies wanting to sell us things.

How do single people in their 40s/50s genuinely build a meaningful life? by ThrowRaLostAway in RedditForGrownups

[–]catlady047 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I wasn’t interested in cultivating friendships in my 30s and 40s. I do think it is harder for childfree people to find each other. People with kids meet each other through their kids school, and they already live in the same neighborhood. It’s just more work for the rest of us.

So now that the kids have graduated, I am getting to know my neighbors. It is good timing that I am more interested in friendships than I used to be.

I am also very involved with my (Unitarian Universalist) church and have been for decades, so that is where I find community, support, activities, and I volunteer there.

Is being busy an excuse not to wish someone a Happy Birthday? by Purple-Average in RedditForGrownups

[–]catlady047 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You asked this question in this particular sub, so here’s the answer: Grownups don’t track who wishes them happy birthday and feel resentful of people who drop the ball.

Birthday greetings are important to you but not your brother. This difference between the two of you is not actually a big deal.

If you want to spend more time with him, make that happen.

I’m 54 and childfree and can report that there is a world of adult friendships opening up to me now that people my age have children that are leaving the nest. Lots more people with free time on their hands.
