    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    Unpopular opinion, but I hope the U.S. works to get him out. I am pretty much anti-gun and am apalled with the U.S. and our gun culture. He should have known better, he should have been more responsible, he should have done a lot of things, but it really was a mistake. He didn't check his...

    What was YOUR first Disney trip like?

    I was 12, it was the 1970s, and it was PURE MAGIC. We stayed at the Contemporary which was a huge splurge for my parents ($75/night). Can you imagine how cool that place was in the 70s with the monorail going through it? We stayed 5 days and did all of that in the Magic Kingdom. We scoured...

    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    I saw that on the news last night. Dang, they mean business.

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    This boomer here is still working as are many of my boomer cohorts. I really don't feel like a boomer. I was born at the very end of that generation and a few years ago I wasn't a boomer but the next younger generation until someone changed it. I really have a hard time finding any identity...

    The Tortured Poet's Department- anyone else listening?

    Oh I know--there will always be that--I just like reading the different perspectives on her music. Some of what he said I agreed with but none of it really matters if her fan base enjoys it.

    In Memory Of The Columbine Victims

    Yes, true but it was the "BIG" one that made national news.

    In Memory Of The Columbine Victims

    Really? I work there and lost 12 of my coworkers. Was just thinking about it all last night. Scariest day of my life.

    The Tortured Poet's Department- anyone else listening?

    Whew, a music reviewer on Washington Post gave it a scathing review.

    In Memory Of The Columbine Victims

    I saw that last night. Is he claiming that he was just writing a story or something?

    In Memory Of The Columbine Victims

    I absolutely remember that day as I was on business travel in the Puget Sound area. Having my breakfast in a Holiday Inn Express when that came on. It was shocking but who knew it'd become a "thing."

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    In my area, there are very few new builds. You have to start going pretty far out. Sales are still brisk with buyers paying more than the asking price.

    Women who reported having been pregnant looked biologically older than women who had never, and women who had been pregnant more often looked ...older

    I believe it's probably true for the most part--always exceptions of course. The pregnancy hormones and sheer stress on the body have an impact on skin and tendon laxity. Tendons often relax a bit during pregancy and feet and hands can "spread." Hips widen a bit. Might not be noticeable but...

    Well, just think how ultimately fantastic you could have looked if you had none, lol!

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    You missed a few points in your own article (1st one posted). Yes home sales fell. But they fell from an all time high. They are still at an all-time high but a little less of an all time high. The overall housing market has likely turned the corner, with home resales surging to a one-year...

    It goes by profit compared to footprint. Get as much house on the land as you can and upsell features.

    The Tortured Poet's Department- anyone else listening?

    I was listening to the new stuff on the Sirius XM Taylor Swift channel this morning. Full stop, I'm not a Swiftie but my son is. I have an Eras Tour playlist I listen to from Spotify when I'm in the car and I enjoy about 90% of the songs on there...a lot. I have found that it takes me a bit...

    Are you a good "dieter"?

    For most of my life, I've had a pretty great metabolism. I've actually been a big eater, ate what I wanted and didn't have problems, in fact I may have been a little underweight through my 20s. The 30s came and the weight slowly started creeping up but it was fine, I was happy to gain some...

    San Diego - getting around

    Can't blame you. VERY little free parking anywhere in San Diego.

    The Bridge On SiriusXM

    Same for me. I don't tend to stay on any one of them too long but The Bridge is one of my presets.
