Mimi is also a food guardian. She’s making sure her canine brother walks away before she starts eating.

$250 million on profits of $5.6 billion is a tax rate of 4.46%. While my tax liability in 2017 was certainly not $250 million, I did pay more than 4.46%.

My niece was born while her mother was incarcerated for drugs. She was eventually adopted by my husband’s mother and stepdad (still not an ideal situation but that’s a different topic), but was in multiple foster homes for years before the adoption. Hearing about programs like this make me wonder what her life would…

I was going to be a pediatrician, decided in my third year of college that wasn’t what I wanted, finished the biology degree anyway, and took a job as a bank teller after graduation while I figured out what I wanted to do. I ended up working for the bank for almost 15 years in all branch positions. I left that to…

I haven’t gotten any of Jupiter, but this is from the super blue blood moon in January. I was using my phone, so not the best quality. We didn’t have time to warm up the telescope that morning.

My mom was also a yes or no (usually no) to stop the begging, which I continue with my son. Unfortunately he’s learned to go to Nana first since she now invokes grandparent privileges and usually says yes.

I wouldn’t think so. Based on your description, we are very similar, and I never understood the purpose of having look but don’t touch furniture/ pillows. There are plenty of things that can be used and look nice at the same time.

I’m drinking strawberry lemonade and vodka.

I said the same thing about Arizona.

Thank you for being a teacher! I think the solidarity of the teachers coming together for the strike sends such a great message to our kids. I hope you and all the other educators get everything you need, no matter how long it takes.

We sold our rental property, finally. We bought it as our primary residence when the housing market started to slide, but it slid much further. We moved five years ago, but couldn’t sell due to its value at the time, so became reluctant landlords. It finally gained enough value back that we could sell it.

I plan my meals in advance and don’t keep chips, cookies, etc in the house. If I think I need it, I have to go to the store or bake something. My cravings usually come when I’m tired, so the of going to all that effort is a deterrant. I also make extra food and freeze it when I have time so there’s a healthy, easy…

They aren’t original. I fully expect repeating names, just not within siblings.

Your Louis is adorable, Joanna.

Is there any space between the side of your refrigerator and a wall or cabinets? We have a gap about three inches wide between the refrigerator and the wall, which is where we put our broom. We also put a clip on the wall to hold it so it doesn’t fall out of easy reach.

It is taken for granted. My 12 year old has never taken a typing class, and he types much better and faster than my husband. Without looking, too.

My seventh grade computers teacher (for reference, I’m older than you- this was the 90-91 school year) also covered the keyboard while we were typing. At least we got to see the screen. I still glance down when I type, but I don’t look at it continuously. 10 key is a different story. I’m a bookkeeper, so do not need…

I feel the same. I get cold easily, and my nipples are sure to let you know when I am. I feel I have to wear a bra in public to avoid people staring at them. Logically I know this should be their problem, not mine, but emotions tend to override logic.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t go that deep down the Wikipedia rabbit hole when I was looking up William’s full name. Charlotte is a derivative of Charles, so if they used Philip and Arthur, Grandpa is fully represented.

I’m guessing Philip Arthur. They give the appearance of William being very close to his grandparents. Also, William’s first two middle names are Arthur Philip. I can see both names being used, but not in the exact same order. The royal family recycles names, but the mix up the order.
