    This is Us- Season 5

    Hoping that Madison and Kevin are done sooner rather than later. They have absolutely NO chemistry, and I find her character whiny and annoying. I'd hate to see Kate and Toby end, I hope they work through their stuff. And Nicky, just love him!

    This is Us- Season four

    Ugh, the Madison twist is terrible. I’m not surprised, but disappointed. Love seeing Nicky again, the Kate and Toby adoption storyline, and adult Jack and his wife. Tough to watch the Kevin and Randall fight. But still finding the Madison story to be the worst part of the episode. Ugh.

    Dress suggestions for a NYC (suburb) evening wedding

    The reception and wedding are inside, in the main part of the property, heated. etc. I could spend all day on the Nordstrom site just looking at dresses, but you know, that work thing keeps getting in the way ;) I've seen several that I like, so I guess I'll start ordering and hope to find the...

    Dress suggestions for a NYC (suburb) evening wedding

    I have looked at Rent the Runway, so many fabulous choices! One of the things I was wondering was long or short, and definitely dressy, of course. I tried in a couple of long ones, but didn't find one that seemed right. Looks like it's time to look only at shorter ones. If anyone has a...

    Dress suggestions for a NYC (suburb) evening wedding

    We are attending my husband's cousin's wedding next month, and it's a Saturday evening affair. The bride and groom are New Yorkers, an attorney and banking executive, and are getting married outside the city in Connecticut. I've got several black dresses, (and would love to buy another!) but...

    Second Marriage Gift Suggestions

    Hi All, Someone I know from work, (not in my office, but our main office, sort of ;) is getting married in a few weeks. We are friendly, and on many occasions, she has been wonderfully helpful to me with resolving work related things. I am not invited to the wedding, but would like to get...

    DS - First breakup help

    I have 3 sons, 23, 18 and 16, and a 15 year old daughter. I often say among friends, "at this age, they all come pre-stamped with an expiration date". Not to diminish the learning that these early relationships bring, but I don't get attached to them, and don't encourage the kids to think all...

    My Mom went to heaven last week

    I lost my Mom about 2 1/2 weeks ago also. You have my deepest sympathy, and my prayers. My Mom was only 68, and healthy. It was totally unexpected. The whole thing is surreal. I keep going to pick up the phone and call her, or thinking she will come through my door any moment now. I have...

    where do I/you buy used appliances?

    Check and see if there is a Habitat for Humanity ReStore in your area. They take donations of used but resaleable appliances and building materials, furniture etc, and resell it using the proceeds to build houses in the area they serve. If you google Habitat plus your city or county, you may...

    anyone use Kemper insurance?

    We have used Kemper for both home and auto for almost 10 years. We use an agent locally, (so not Kemper Direct) but have been happy with them. We've had a few claims, a couple of minor car things, and our house was struck by lightning last year and fried all our electronics, the claims have...

    Anybody been to a Harlem Wizards game?

    I've done the Wizards fundraiser, great night, good return on the dollars spent to put the show on. I've also done the Harlem Ambassadors, very por return on a very expensive event, and significantly less entertaining. Wizards are great though, enjoy the night.

    Slient Auction Pro Sports Team Donations

    Has anyone had any luck getting pro sports teams to donate to your silent auction? If so, could you share your story and how you were successful? I work for a non profit and we are holding a silent auction (in about 8 months), but I've heard that sometimes it's helpful to make a request in the...

    lets talk property taxes

    I'm in NY, about 100 miles north of the city. My school taxes are about 6k, property about 5.5k, and water and sewer another 1k or so a year. We do get garbage pickup, but for this kind of money I'd happily buy a dump sticker. The sales tax rate here is 8%. I have a 2400 sq. foot house on...

    Any new great dishes that you tried on your Thanksgiving?

    Hey Katy, could you share that Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pie recipe? That would be a hit here as well. We had 2 turkeys, one a traditional sage and butter herb, the other, a maple cranberry that was fabulous! Also, broccoli roasted with garlic, fresh breadcrumbs and bleu cheese was excellent as...

    Carribean All Inclusives...suggestions?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Young Island does look fabulous, just ordered a brochure from there. I had looked at the Excellence resorts also, particularly in Punta Cana, DR. Has anyone traveled to Mexico recently? I've been there before, but not for many years, and I know it's a bit more...
