    Question of the Day, Wednesday, May 8, 2024

    As for blood relatives. It's a tie between my aunt and my cousin (mother/daughter). My aunt has severe mental health issues and is always in conflict with someone in the family. She is always stirring the pot and seems to thrive on confrontation. That doesn't sound too horrible, but how she...

    Question of the Day - Monday, May 6, 2024

    I did some "date night" babysitting for one of my neighbors as well as after school babysitting for another neighbor starting when I was 13 or so, but my first real job was when I was 15-16 at a jewelry store. I kept that job until was 19 or so. At 17, I got a job to be a camp counselor for a...

    Which one...

    Found this and wanted to know your opinions. Which is the correct way and explain why. lol. I say #2. First off, #1 just looks weird. Second, a tie, while it does go around the neck, should also lay over the chest. The tie also goes under the collar of the shirt and if Mr. Dino was also...

    Anyone buy a new vehicle lately?

    An EV was not even on my radar. :) The battery technology isn't anywhere near where I think it needs to be for our brutal winters.

    Anyone buy a new vehicle lately?

    Also, some feedback on the vehicle you drive and if its good or not would be great. Looking specifically for minivans or full size SUVs...the cargo space is a must for my husband's business' deliveries...he makes signs up to 8 feet...or is it 6?...anyway, it has to be at least as long as our...

    Anyone buy a new vehicle lately?

    My husband thinks we are at a crossroads with our current minivan. It's a 2014 dodge grand caravan. It's still in really great shape, but we have a repair in the near future that we need to do. Some of the oil gaskets need fixed. Best case just under $1000...but hubby says it could end up...

    Question of the Day - Monday, April 29, 2024

    Although we had separate friend groups, within those groups, we had mutual friends so would cross paths sometimes. The main "event" where we actually hung out and talked was at a friends stag and doe. Then, the following weekend I went to the future brides house to help with centerpieces, and...

    Towels.....

    #1 for small (hand, face cloths), #2 for large, however, when put away in the closet, the folded ends face out, not the edges. It just looks cleaner that way.

    Post Your Best "groaner" Joke

    After winning the game I decided to throw the ball into the crowd like they do on TV... Apparently, that's not acceptable in bowling.

    There are quite a few, but I don't know anyone who doesn't start bopping their heads and smile when Hey Ya! by Outcast plays

    Tell me a mildly infuriating story...lol.

    I had thought about burning it in the back yard! :lol: It thankfully only took one attempt to pick it up after missing the basket, although there was a lot of grumbled name calling directed to the stupid towel.

    Tell me a mildly infuriating story...lol.

    As the title says. Mildly infuriating things happen to us all the time...but when over, it's over and often becomes kinda funny. Here's mine... I drop a dirty hand towel on the floor, meant for the laundry basket. I bend over to pick it up...but I miss. So I bend over to pick it up...
