Thanks for stereotyping every person who doesn’t have a child. I’m a child-free person who realized early on in adulthood that I wasn’t interested in having children. Yet, I’m still able to be friends with those who have children because I do understand their lifestyle has changed. That means I go to parks with them,…

Also, don’t drop your child-free friends. Just because they don’t have a child doesn’t mean they can’t be supportive and empathetic.

Mia Neal’s blue gown is my favorite. She deserves to be at the top of every best dressed list.

I think this app is made for the exact type of lifestyle/cooking “influencer” blogs you describe. A lot of them contain long narratives that have nothing to do with the recipe, and many times the recipe is one that’s been “adapted” (i.e., barely changed) from a cookbook or cooking website, like NYT Food, America’s…

I love Bernard and the Genie! Every Christmas, I try to find it on YouTube so I can watch while decorating my tree.

In 1981, our church get a new minister, and all the adults were snickering because of his name. I was six, so I didn’t get why it was weird that his name was Jim Jones.

I think the judges (Paul in particular) don’t like when a baker fails because they either (a) didn’t listen to the advice Paul or Prue offered during their chats or (b) don’t have a solid plan. For Hermine, the later was her downfall. If she’d failed because she ran out of time or there was extreme heat, she might…

This has never worked for me. It seems to lead to more questions and opinions. Why don’t you want them? Why don’t you like kids? Maybe you just haven’t meet the right guy yet. When you get older you’ll regret that you didn’t have kids. Who’s going to take care of you when you’re older. Blah, blah, blah.

I think some people just don’t have a strong political ideology and are enticed by personality traits they perceive the candidate to have (e.g., “work ethic”, “likability”).

Personal wins should be celebrated this year! I have a lot of empathy for my friends who have been laid off and furloughed because I’ve been there. I was laid off from the company where I’d worked for nearly 18 years in 2017. It took me almost a year to the day of finding out that I’d been “unassigned” to starting a…

Jennifer Ehle, who played Elizabeth Bennett opposite Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy, has been reading Pride and Prejudice via Instagram Live for a couple of weeks now. Sadly, they disappear after 24 hours, so you can’t go back to start from the beginning.

Some of the mask sewing patterns include a pocket where a filter (or even just a non-woven material like a Kleenex) can be added. The filter is removed and disposed of prior to washing the mask after each use. This is probably better than sewing a filter into the mask, which might make it more difficult and wash and…

The film made me think about what a solitaire life she probably has. I would love to have the resources she does (e.g., money and access) but would never in a million years trade it for privacy and the ability to go about my day in whatever fashion I want without anyone bothering me.

Exactly the reason I prefer Sussexit if such term needs to be used.

The trailer for Little Women was played before ever movie I saw in October, November and early December (including Knives Out and Parasite). It’s now been replaced by the new Emma adaptation.

I saw Last Christmas and enjoyed it despite the fact that it’s schmaltzy and manipulatively sentimental (two things I normally hate). As a 44-year-old woman who loves George Michael, Wham! and London at Christmas, I’m pretty sure I’m the target audience. The kicker for me that had me crying more than usual in public…

Thanks for the DarnTough suggestion! I recommended WrightSocks on the original post, but I’ve never heard of DarnTough before. I’ll have to check them out, although I don’t know if they’ll be right for me because wool socks irritate my feet. (It’s not a lanolin allergy. The weight/texture of the fiber makes my feet…

A couple of years ago, I was laid off. WeWork contacted me about a manager position for one of their locations. After reading about some pretty questionable HR practices, I turned down an interview. It sucked being unemployed for an additional seven months until I found a job, but I’m so glad I dodged the bullet and…

I’m with you. Luckily, I feel like I’m past the point of my friends having wedding or baby showers. I’ll still go to showers for coworkers that take place during work hours, but I drew the line at the grandmothers-to-be shower for two coworkers.

Yes. Hallmark Channel’s theme the past few weeks has been “Fall Harvest”. They had plenty of romances that involved apple picking, baking contests, fall festivals, and pumpkin carving. They featured autumnal titles like “A Harvest Wedding”, “Falling for Vermont”, “Falling for You”, “Love, Fall & Obey”, “Pumpkin Pie…
