I also had a Girl Scout slumber party at the Franklin Institute and I remember thinking it was weird, creepy, and cool all at the time same. 

I would have NEVER chucked a snowball at an adult (outside of a consenting parent) when I was a kid so it was just completely shocking. I do wonder what’s influencing this behavior. The kids weren’t even being jovial about it. They were being total bullies.

Ugh that sucks. It’s like “Come on, man. I was fine and you KNEW that yet you still had to come running over and call attention to the situation.”

I’m so sorry for your loss... Sending you lots of love. I’ll definitely do better in telling my friends how much I love them. Thank you.

How sweet! Thank you. :)

There’s a very good chance that your younger friends really admire you. :)

This friendship sounds fantastic. It’s really nice when you find someone who genuinely looks out for you and vice versa. I’m so glad you have each other!

Thank you!

People who build friendships around age are surely missing out.

That’s so nice! Thank you.

:) Thank you for reading.

Today was nice. I spent the day with a friend (and former colleague) and we have this really lovely friendship that can seem a bit unconventional at times to others, mainly because of our age difference. I’m 34 and she’s 57. I’m single with no kids and she’s married with three daughters who are all in their early…

I dig Wildfang. They’re pricey, though. Just a warning!

Good feelings are surfacing for me in this post-election shitstorm.

I know this could be a very layered question that requires a lengthy and detailed response (so please feel free to tell me to bugger-off!) but I’d love to hear what you’re interested in researching. I like hearing about people’s different types of research because I never feel quite prepared with the topics that are…

Those kids are adorable!

I need a new vacuum cleaner. Any recommendations? I have a dirt devil and I’m not a fan. It mostly just blows dirt to other spots...

Oh yes. The Practical Magic soundtrack is so good! I love it all... Their long hair, their long dresses/skirts, the giant house overlooking the sea, her adorable herb shop, ALL OF IT.

I’ve been in that boat with an adopted adult dog and the house training was really hard! I recognize that not everyone supports positive reinforcement with food but if a dog is food-motivated and you need a bad habit to stop, then I think it’s worth exploring.

I hear that. I’m not totally sold on Kevin’s character yet but I’m curious to see how the storyline develops. There have been some interesting twists.
