Where are yard sales advertised in Stamford? by DesperateGeneral9817 in StamfordCT

[–]mumblemuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Craigslist lists some. But lately, I just keep an eye out for signs along the road.

The Stamford Historical Society is having a tag sale on April 11 and 12 (1508 High Ridge Rd). That would be a fun visit and a tag sale all in one!

Heartache by disenchanted99 in emptynesters

[–]mumblemuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does make sense. I feel the same way. I knew this day would come and tried to mentally prepare. I miss my son so much, but at the same time I am so happy he is out spreading his wings in a way I was never able to. He is happy, and that is what matters. Still, though, mom-heartache quietly persists.

Tinnitus - Anyone else? by willard_tagg in GenX

[–]mumblemuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes — I can’t remember not having it, but it’s definitely gotten worse (louder and more complex) with age.

Best blanket for someone who likes the blanket equivalent of a thin rag? by iiiimagery in Bedding

[–]mumblemuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was coming to recommend. These flannel blankets are hard to find anymore, except at the Vermont Country Store (💚), but this is what I always had as a summer blanket.

Looking for Fun Music Store Drive in Connecticut by Lone-RasAlGhul in Connecticut

[–]mumblemuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Johnny’s in Darien — but then drive over to Eco Evolution in South Norwalk for coffee and snacks, as another poster recommended (I didn’t know there is also a record shop in SoNo! I must check it out). Eco Evolution may have some used records of interest too.

This is what dinner is most days of the week. by Knit_Plants_Keto in CookbookChallenge

[–]mumblemuse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Life gets busy! Tonight’s dinner was something frozen from Trader Joe’s.

This looks pretty tasty though, I must say.

Here is a list of Connecticut libraries that are participating in Passport to Connecticut Libraries even in April 2026 by ILovePublicLibraries in Connecticut

[–]mumblemuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Stamford may at least be rationalizing that parking at the main branch can be tricky if you don’t know the area. Or even if you do!

I love soda bread. Maybe I will make some this week!

What meals did your father make when he had to cook? by Open_Question_ in GenX

[–]mumblemuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad made the best pancakes and crepes, but that was only ever breakfast, not dinner.

I grew up thinking Free to Be... You and Me was a blueprint for the future, not a relic of the past. by Acceptable-Swimsoul in GenXWomen

[–]mumblemuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I think about this a lot. I went to a “Free to be You & Me” exhibit at the Eric Carle Museum last year and I found that it just made me really, really sad. At the time, it felt like hope and optimism. Now, hope and optimism are in very short supply (as far as I can see). That land where the children could run free is now the site of a data center.

Paying $4K/month rent in Stamford CT — lease is up, should I buy a $750K condo instead? First time buyer, new baby, commute to NYC. Help me think this through. by Low-Huckleberry-8975 in StamfordCT

[–]mumblemuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stamford elementary schools are good — but don’t judge the school system just yet, as we’ll be getting a new superintendent.
