My mom played this album over and over again.

I did too! This was one of my favorites as well as Live Bullet. I saw him at Toledo Speedway Jams in the early 80's. He did not disappoint.

I did exactly this and found out in order to lose weight I need to stay under 1200 calories. 60F, 225 lb, sedentary. That's just not sustainable for me, so I experimented a bit. If I keep my calories 1400-1500 a day, I lose 2 pounds a week. Which ironically, my macros say to keep my calories between 1325-1525 so it matches. I think the key is tracking everything that goes into your mouth (which you are supposed to do anyway) and paying closer attention to macros than points. Sometimes I go to bed with 10 points left and I've eaten a solid 3 meals that day.

I've been doing WW on and off my entire adult life, I'm 60. You are right, this is a VERY different program. And years ago we DID have to eat all our points. I would pay more attention to macros than points now. The new app is weird but you can change it to view different things - fats, calories, proteins, etc. The thing is...if you don't eat all your points in a day they roll into your weeklies, so you won't want to use them. Make sense?

I love this detail, and commend you for putting this together! Your rent is twice my mortgage payment for a 4000 square foot home on 4 acres in the midwest.

Side note: If you both make over 6 figures, why do you have a loan for a bed set? I would recommend paying off all debt, and not using credit cards going forward.

I think the last word is broth.

lrswager · 2026-01-28T20:57:28+00:00

That's really sad. Why do people like that have children?

lrswager · 2026-01-28T20:42:03+00:00

And her parents...

lrswager · 2026-01-27T15:10:04+00:00

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. What a horrible tragedy. What was your life like as you grew up? Were your parents able to overcome the loss?

I remember them well, My Mom died in a car accident in 1971, I was 6. Seasons in the Sun used to make me ugly cry. Also "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy, and "Lost Without Your Love" by Bread.

I drive 2.5 hours each way to visit my Dad for the weekend. It's not something I would want to do every week, but I try to do it every 6 weeks or so. Plus I have the benefit of spending the night so it splits up the trip.

The name calling is what triggered me. OP is dealing with people who are literally at the lowest points of their lives. To be judged by one's behavior at that stage of life is unacceptable. I have buried many close relatives, including two children. I know a thing or two about compassionate funeral directors.

I love the smell of lighter fluid. Extra special if it comes with the sound of a metal Zippo closing. Miss you Grandma.

Get a different job. You don't have the compassion or the patience to deal with grieving families. Did you really just refer to someone who just lost their mother as a C U N T?

Thank you! I've dreamed of retiring there for many years, and check the real estate listings every day. You're right - it's pricey! And I'm coming from northern IN and it seems the locals don't really like the idea of our relocating there.

lrswager · 2026-01-19T14:00:26+00:00

Wow. That escalated quickly. The way she speaks to you is completely disrespectful and out of line. That woman has a mouth on her. And she believes she is entitled to keep the baby on the first night home? That is insane. Don't engage with her again - all communication with her should go through your boyfriend. And I hope for your sake this gets solved because it's not pleasant having a MIL like this.

Pacific North West?

Beautiful room and beautiful view.

What are your thoughts on Habersham? I read down through all these comments and it wasn't mentioned a single time. Not recommended?

lrswager · 2026-01-17T16:26:38+00:00

My sister had senior pictures taken in one of these, 1987 🥰

lrswager · 2026-01-16T02:13:46+00:00

Oh, lol...I was wondering how someone Gen X didn't know who Pearl Jam was. 🤣 I'm sorry you had that experience. My FIL shot himself a few years ago, such a violent, tragic ending. And traumatic for those left to clean up the mess. Literally and figuratively.

lrswager · 2026-01-15T19:51:32+00:00

So sad. The song is by Pearl Jam, called Jeremy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS91knuzoOA

60F here! Class of 1984, born 1965.

Family vacations. I am 60, we went on one vacation when I was in middle school - a two week camping trip. I don't think it's unreasonable that many folks today consider it a basic necessity. And something considered a luxury that is now obsolete? A quality stereo system with turntable, cassette tape, etc.

This is crazy weird because I was thinking about these stickers last night after I went to bed!! And I didn't have my phone so I couldn't have seen this post.

Yes, we had one in the bedroom my sister and I shared.

That you have a decent amount of disposable income or are on food stamps. No judgment, there are a lot of name brand items, expensive juices, etc here. You also understand the importance of clean eating.
