    Silk pillowcase

    I couldn't sleep without mine. I have very delicate skin and anything but silk in a satin weave leaves me with irritated skin in the morning. I think this would make a great birthday present!

    Poll: The annual "horrible Christmas carol" poll

    Pa rup a dumb dumb I voted other. I detest the song "The Little Drummer Boy", especially the obnoxious refrain. I don't care who sings or how its arranged, its like nails on a chalk board to me.

    Declining work quality - overstaying usefulness

    My husband had the same sort of memory problems the OP posted about 2 years ago. Turned out to be the statins he was taking. Stopped the statins, memory problems gone.

    Canine Dementia and making the choice to Euthanize

    We had a minature schnauzer we put down due to dementia. He had mild cataracts and was going deaf but was doing fine at 16 other than that. But we would find him standing and staring in a corner, not knowing what to do. He often didn't recognize us and no longer recognized any other family...

Although it worked and lowered bad cholesterol and raised good, it had no effect on heart disease. Seems pretty good proof that cholesterol numbers are not useful in evaluating heart...

    Investing in experiences...smart?

    I think its pretty much a given that travel is physically easier the younger you are (up to a point). The reason I'm glad we travelled earlier in life is it changed our world view when we did it. We became a little more... I don't know....sophisticated? when we saw other cultures and ways of...

    Yesterday my 16 year old, high school junior son got his drivers license...

    I'm surprised that after only passing driver's ed your son got an unrestricted license. My two girls each had restricted licenses for almost a year. That meant they could not drive without an adult in the car. I'm not sure exactly what you're anxious about. If you fear your son's sexual choices...

    I don't know how "special" any grocery store coffee is going to be. I've been buying a whole bean Mocha Java blend from Coffee Warehouse Shop Coffee Brewer | Coffee Equipment | Coffee Grinder | Bunn Coffee Makers | Bunn Coffee - Coffee Wholesale USA since 2009 and I love it. I get a 5# bag for...
