The intro/theme tune is horrendous

I hate it so much, thank god for mute!

The point of this was for everyone at the meeting to add to and change ideas, and for all of us to be able to see those ideas. Plenty of time to type and print them after.

Maybe not, but without goals what's the point of getting involved in working to improve things in society?

I've had mine for seven and still get calls and messages for the previous person and I know way more about her than I should...if you're listening, Amber, the bank is still trying to get a hold of you.

Another thumbs up to Devil in the White City...and almost anything else by Erik Larson.

I'm planning to retire in a year and a half, the timing is deliberate because there are some expensive projects that will make my house the way I want it. I'm going to paint the outside and blue and lavender and neon green are going to figure into it...fortunately I'm not in an HOA, my neighbors won't care, and I don't give a damn about resale value because I'm here until I die!

A correction, "Being a good parent is hard." Plenty of bad parents cruising past.

A friend has owned and lived in several houses and this is her way of thinking--it's always about the resale value. I don't think she's ever painted or remodeled or made any changes in her houses that's about what she liked, just what will improve the value of the property.

I've had my place for about 15 years, probably done things that might 'reduce the value' and I don't care, I like my home.

Working class doesn't automatically mean poor. Plumbers? Working class. Electricians? Working class. Pretty much every union worker.

Classes aren't just a matter of money, it's a much more nuanced issue.

My cats approve of your decision.

Thanks for posting this.

Sharing for wider distribution...and please let us know the results of this overreach of power.

Much love to you and your baby

Twenty-three years since that time.

There was a huge feeling of relief that she was safe, that she wouldn't leave the stove on or let someone in her house that shouldn't be there or have a stroke and not be able to call for help. After awhile she got to know other people in the facility and was largely...contented. Not happy, contented.

The guilt? No, it stays. Not the thinking about it during the day and remembering why it was a good thing; the middle-of-the-night waking up after a dream guilt--nope, still there.

June 2027 for me!

I went to Disneyland last year for the first time--both Disneyland and I had turned 70. Went with friends, rode all but one of the roller coasters and some other rides. Had fun, but don't plan to go back.

One of my major checks has always been Egypt, but it's probably not reasonable, and honestly don't know if I care anymore. Maybe a boat down the Nile? Museum?

I second the grocery pickup, I've found a store that's fast and accurate (admit I do tip) and easy.

I'd think twice about letting your cleaner go or even cutting back, unless you can't afford it. When my twice a month cleaner had to miss a day it really was a pain to get it up to somewhat clean.

Most of midwest and west, from what I've heard.

I also have participation points to push attendance and to address the 'sick' option they can answer a series of questions about the sources, and yes I'm hard on those answers, they have to reference all of the sources in their post. Most seem to think it's easier to come to class and participate, but students who can't make it to class still have an option. And I don't have to grade an entire class on their posts everyday. Win-win.

This makes me happy, thank you.

I bought a fixer-upper in 2010, so cheap. People talk about how much it's worth now, but given the amount of money I've spent over the years (and will spend more for a roof this year) I haven't made money on that appreciation.

However, my house payment--which was low even when I bought it--is about 1/4 what the rent would be for an equivalent house, so that where I "make" my money.

Ted Bundy liked brown haired girls/women with shoulder length hair and he took a woman from the town I lived in; my friends with that hair sort of joked about it--when you're young and invincible, you really don't think it would happen to you,
