My DH purchased a set of Alfred Hitchcock movies a few years ago. Most I had already seen ( and loved). But I had never heard of The Lady Vanishes so knew nothing about it before we watched it. I absolutely loved it! I adore a good mystery and this was definitely one of those. But my favorite...

Took our new (used) travel trailer for our first camping trip at Devil's Tower in Wyoming. It's quite beautiful here!

Finally got the courage to put up the wallpaper I’ve been wanting on one wall with DH. Was dreading the process but went well (better than I expected) and looks really beautiful! So glad that’s done.

Building an outdoor, wood-fired sauna with DH in backyard.

That was very helpful. Thanks for that tidbit.

Yes, but I’m still recycling dryer sheets!

I like the updated look even if it will take a little time to get used to. Thanks for the smooth transition.

I consider two hours the minimum connection time for domestic flights, and would choose longer for international.

Yep, they find you. Whether you have an account or not.

Again, so many great ideas. Thanks to all who took the time to comment. I decided to purchase a few of the items listed here, send a list of suggestions for a chemo day bag as mentioned, and give them $$$ to buy those things they think would be useful or use the monies in any way that would make...

These are all great! And Target 2019, that was the post I remembered but couldn't find. My list of possibilities is growing bigger, which I think will help me make an informed choice. I'm also going to go looking for online support groups for this specific type of cancer to suggest to my niece.

I love all the helpful suggestions and appreciate the well wishes! I am going to start a list of possibilities and then perhaps consult with my sister. I was thinking of maybe two gifts, one for my niece and one for her husband.

My niece got married last month to a great young guy. This week he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Obviously, we are all devastated. Yesterday he had a G tube (gastrostomy tube for feeds) placed and will be starting chemo soon. I am trying to think of something to send them. Food is...

I discovered this the same way around 2010. Man, I wish I could get all that wasted news-watching time back. I was such a news junky in the 90’s. About five years ago my then 80 year old mom called me to rant about something on the news that had made her mad. I listened for about twenty...

My sentiments exactly

Until this post I never had star envy. I lived in blissful ignorance!

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Some good nuggets in there for those of use still in the accumulation phase. Sorry to hear about your health problems. I keep having to remind my DH that we need a large medical expenses cushion in retirement. (he never worries about anything, which is...

Loved this quote from the interview of the happily divorcing couple: “We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched The Golden Bachelor, and I don’t think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope. We want none of that to change for...

Excellent summary. I especially agree with the bolded part. The reality is our world is now vastly different than it used to be and the laws need to be updated accordingly.

That would certainly take care of a “too much time on my hands” problem.

I received a surprise bonus at work so I sent my brother money to help his son buy a new (used) vehicle. My nephew has a young family and his wife is expecting a (surprise) fourth baby. They need a larger vehicle!

Thanks for the heads up. We are a family of android phone users but I do have an iPad so shall be on alert.

Man, I really got a chuckle out of that! I agree at least one factor needs to be to increase the wage base.

Looks like he really tired himself out! Great picture.

According to Perter Attia ( a source that, as a physician myself, I trust) the study was so poorly designed as to make it essentially meaningless. I tried to post a link to his post about this but, alas, I could not get it to work.
