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

    Around us, they are building 4 bedroom homes with very little parking. When we bought our 4 bedroom home, it was for our 4 children. As they became drivers, parking was ridiculous and when they return home at once, they all need a place to park. We've considered upgrading, but the lack of...

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

    The study seemed to be looking at very young moms who were still maturing into adulthood. I've had 4 kids starting at age 25 and people tell me I don't look my age. That I look younger. So much goes into epigenetics. I would have liked to see more details of the study. I do agree pregnancy...

    Old greeting cards and Notes

    My grandmother kept every card, note, announcement she received. It was a treasure to find them when we cleaned out her things. Many of them, I returned to the sender. It was an honor to find them and see the history in our family that she kept.

    Car buying?

    We bought 2 used in 2020 from Carmax. No haggle policy. Was a fair price and because of Covid, no salesman on the test drive. Easy and painless. We bought 1 brand new in 2022. New cars were still scarce and another buyer waited in the showroom to see if we were buying the car. Again full...

    2 other ideas See if your shelter needs foster parents for dogs awaiting homes. That way you don't have a full commitment unless you decide you want to. Look for an older dog that needs a new home. Our son and his wife adopted a 5-7 year old dog that had been in an elderly person's home...

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    You want the employee's head. It's not on you anymore. It's on the employer. You've already stated you won't shop there anymore. You are starting to be a stereotypical 'let me speak to your manager' person. Not a good look.

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    Sorry. You're still mad from the incident. Nothing the store says is going to placate you. Read my earlier post and the other replies again. Time to let it go

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    Yes, it ticked you off and rightfully so, your protective instincts came out. But other than avoiding the store for a while and using it as a teachable moment with your child, it is truly not a big deal on the long arm of parenting. And will be one of the family stories you have to tell. Just...

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    I heard a report yesterday on NPR that there was a support there at least several years ago as another ship hit it. But did not do serious damage to the bridge because of the barrier. The speculation was that the ship in the previous incident was not as large or heavy as ships are now.
