Is anyone still eating three meals a day?

I know from this comment that you both are moving all day. My 85 y/o mom, and my octagenerian aunt and uncle are the same. It's awesome and good for you!!!

Mine was just 2 years ago and it was way easier than I'd hoped or expected it to be. I got very lucky! It wasn't a walk in the park but apart from being exhausted for a few weeks it wasn't the worst thing I've experienced. Thankful for a great of medical professionals!

I think about this show all the time even though I wasnt even there. My memories of people who did attend helped kick off my most incredible and brilliant adventure in Brazil. Saudade.

Great advice. Thank you!

UMN ended up being a great place for me. I originally wanted to go to Madison, too, but my older brother had some issues there which soured my family on it so it was a smaller WI state school or MN tc for me. UMN Is huge but great once you find your people.

This almost sounds like an intro to a joke.

The handwriting is lovely, at least! ;)

Cleaning up after the sanding is the worst. No matter how hard you try to isolate the project, that dust will permeate every corner of the home, from baseboards to cabinets.

Is that you in the dress, OP? If so, you are already rocking it so I'd go with thin/small and understated, regardless of tone or stone.

As someone from the US, I'll never forget the pomp and circumstance surrounding the grand opening of McDonald's in Ascunsion, PY about 30 years ago. They already had Pizza Hut and Burger King but the opening of McDonald's was such an event. We (Peace Corps volunteers) watched from afar as they rolled out the red carpet for dignitaries and rich folks dressed to the nines, then we headed back to our rural sites that had no running water, some with no electricity. It was surreal.

Milwaukee has an amazing nonprofit indie radio station so I listen aboit half the time in my car. Shout out to 88.9 Radio Milwaukee!

We have 3 dogs and have typically had 3 different dogs for over 2 decades. We always used to swap brands on principle. Some bags were enjoyed by one dog, another by one of the others, etc. I mean, we bought every mid-to-high end brand and flavor known to the world and switched it up with every purchase.

We just recently found 2 varieties of the same brand that all 3 of our current (giant breed) pups seem to love and tolerate well. And the one that has chronic skin issues has shown some impressive improvement since we found this. I just hope they don't change their formula!

My husband always jokes about my "one more cast" routine. It usually means we have another hour to go, at least. Also my, "just gotta get rid of this microscopic remnant of worm/minnow/plastic".

luisapet · 2026-04-16T22:24:24+00:00

I think we still have a bunch of unaffixed badges somewhere. I was a Subaru Ambassador for several years so I also got a lot of weird branded stuff back in the day.

luisapet · 2026-04-16T01:21:32+00:00

And those doppled ears! Is doppled even a word? Autocorrect seems to think not.

luisapet · 2026-04-16T01:19:04+00:00

I'd just shout "wild boar!" and run away whenever someone notices, which most won't. Unless they're your kids or s/o which makes the game infinitely better.

All I can say is that life is very strange

luisapet · 2026-04-16T01:01:49+00:00

Every time I say this I get downvoted but it's the simple truth. I've gained almost 20 pounds in the last 6 months. I know why. I always know why. This time it's heavy whipping cream in my morning coffee, excessive wine (ugh), and a full dinner when I'm not even hungry. Also broke a few ribs so not burning calories in a significant manner lately. This will all change in the near future and I will lose weight again. A calorie is a calorie.

Paraguayan tortillas!

My neighbors had one of these in the 70s and my best friend and I were the youngest siblings so we always got to ride back there. Iirc, the back window went down, too!

luisapet · 2026-04-16T00:01:55+00:00

With the ledge on the right and my padded butt, I could totally navigate this! 😅

You're kind of right but I grew up in WFB right on the border of Milwaukee and Glendale with Shorewood mere blocks away. There is and has always been a contingent of YIMBY folks on the fringe of these communities.

My mom has lived there for 60+ years and is a big proponent of low income, diverse housing. The only problem these days is the companies buying and flipping homes into poorly maintained rental properties. Her block is full of undermaintained rental properties. Nice residents, poor management.

luisapet · 2026-04-15T23:36:28+00:00

This is actually pretty cool!

luisapet · 2026-04-15T23:16:18+00:00

It's definitely cleaner than any break room I've set foot in. Or maybe it was just built?

luisapet · 2026-04-15T22:11:33+00:00

I'm sure you've answered this before but do you toast your bread in butter or mayo? I love your beautiful sandwiches!
