My daughter has been enjoying herself immensely, I think. She has a core group of friends that she's always with, and they go to lunch and dinner together and shop together-she's hardly ever alone even with a private room. She's been going to the gym a lot which is something she was never...

Okay, I have been reading the posts here and not chiming in, but I have to agree with everyone saying they're yelling at the TV screen while these people are running around alone with no weapons, leaving doors open, and trying to reason with the walkers. I'm used to the characters on The...

We visited my daughter this weekend and she seems to be doing well. She's been there almost three weeks and has made quite a few friends, mostly guys but that's normal for her, and has been shopping and out to eat with different sets of friends quite a few times and has standing lunch plans...

Finished 7/20, Go Set a Watchman, last night. The best I can say about it is that I enjoyed reading a different perspective on characters I was already familiar with but I don't see any other reason to read it beyond that. I have no idea what I'm reading next, I guess I'll look around the...

We dropped my daughter off on Tuesday, and when people ask me if I cried when we left her in her room, I can honestly say that I was too tired and physically uncomfortable (it was 82 degrees in her dorm room when we left at 11:00 that night) to cry very much. I teared up when we said goodbye...

Finished 6/20, The Husband's Secret, a few days ago. It was okay, not great. I seem to be disappointing myself with my choices this year, as I've been trying to try new types of books to read and not having much success with enjoying the ones I choose. I'm currently reading Go Set a Watchman...

My daughter is attending college about four hours away from home. Normal move-in day is on a Thursday. She is in the honors program, though, and has been invited to move in on Tuesday of that week to be able to attend an overnight orientation/bonding trip with the other honors students from...

My daughter will be in a single suite and has very few of the items she needs already, so we've got a lot left to buy. For the most part she's been using the money she received for graduation to purchase the larger items and we've been buying the smaller ones. The room comes with a...

We were there this past Friday, also for college orientation, and a friend of my daughter's who lives locally took her to The Pirate House for dinner. She is a picky eater and doesn't normally even eat seafood except popcorn shrimp and the occasional order of clam strips, but she had their...

I'm glad I'm not alone! In my heart, I know I'm going to miss her-she's my TV and shopping buddy and I love her sense of humor and our talks. But right now, I kind of want to leave her on campus when we go to her orientation on Friday...maybe she'll find some new people to argue with while...

My daughter's dorm move-in date is nine weeks from today exactly, and I alternate between thinking that day can't get here soon enough and thinking about how much I'll miss her when she's gone. She's an only child and the house will seem empty and quiet when she's gone-it does when she spends...

Finished 5/20, Me Before You, over the weekend. I must say this is the most enjoyable book I've read this year although the subject matter was slightly uncomfortable for me. I liked the author's writing style although it's not my usual type of book and will probably read more from her in the...

My daughter graduated high school on Friday, and plans to be a History major with a concentration in Public History. Her goal is to eventually work in a museum as an archivist or researcher, but we'll see how that ends up. She likes being other around people too much to be somewhere in the...

I just bought my daughter, who is 18 and has a 34F bra size, several bikinis for spring break/our upcoming Disney trip/college near the beach. I bought one complete set (Fantasie brand) from herroom.com since her strapless bra is the same brand and fits her well. I also bought tops from Amazon...

Finished 4/20, The Girl on the Train, over the weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't particularly enjoy it, which seems to be the norm for me lately. I don't know if it's because I didn't particularly like any of the characters, which made me not really be invested in what happened to them or how...

My daughter left school at a little after 11:00 this morning-she checked herself out (the rewards of being 18 I guess) before her last class of the day because they're already done with everything and she finished with a 99 average in that class. She is officially finished with high school with...

I've been to Marietta Diner (several times!) and Matthews Cafeteria, both here in Georgia. Both were good, and I try to go to Marietta Diner whenever we're in the area. They always give me way more food than I can eat and the desserts are delicious. Hopefully I'll make it to some of the...

My daughter's date is a college freshman and is traveling almost 4 hours to go with her, so we're paying for the tickets. Traditionally I would think that the person asking should be the one to pay, whether that was the guy or the girl, but in this case he offered to come and be her date and...

I will ask about that, thanks. I stopped mentioning that issue at the doctor's office after a while because it seemed not to be terribly important to them, but after dealing with this issue for so long it has become important to me. If there is something that will possibly relieve at least...

I had mine removed in 2003 because of gallstones and way too many painful attacks, plus constantly feeling full and having to throw up pretty much after every meal to relieve the constant full feeling (TMI, I know.) That's how I knew I had the gallstones-I had an ultrasound to determine the...
