When our twins were born, we often had visits from my wife’s relatives (mine live quite a bit farther away). They would hold the babies, and I would nap. My wife once asked me about it, and I said, “Those people aren’t here to see me—they want to see the boys.” So I would quietly nap in the chair while grandparents,…

Look, I may be “pie in the sky,” but I feel that if the Dems can find a decent candidate, Trump will most likely lose re-election. While I know his supporters are ardent and will always proudly proclaim their love for him, I think there are many who supported him who have buyers’ remorse now, and they would not…

It happens. No big deal.

Isn’t a Roth post-tax money?

Yes. A friend who grew up with my wife is mayor of their hometown (we live there now). He is a Republican, but he would be a Republican that I think many Democrats could work with on many issues.

He mentioned to us a few years back that he will never move above local politics because he supported a bond referendum for…

Totally agree, does anyone love abortion? Of course not. But rights are rights. Of course, when we get called the pro-abortion group, that is meant to be a slam, but I think we should start calling them the “pro-mass shooter” group.

I understand what you are saying, but I do think there tends to be some hard feelings over the fact that white people were promoted and made millions over songs and art that people of color had been doing for years.
I would counter:

1) People of color aren’t given enough credit for their contributions to most of modern…

The ones with the bees sticks with me quite a bit.

We did that when deciding to do bi-weekly payments on the mortgage a few years back when we refinanced. In two years, it will be paid off in 22 years instead of 30.

Oh, I agree that I think it would be harder for most women than men.

My wife has that same issue. She lost over 90 pounds, and has kept it off (+/- 10 pounds every so often), but she really feels that calorie restriction is the only way.
She walks for 30 minutes every day on the treadmill, so she exercises, but she never wants to go beyond that (walk longer, or at a higher intensity,…

Do you have any suggestions?

Animaniacs IS coming back (somewhere on some streaming service, I think).

I would have started saving a little sooner, by using this rule:
Take a raise for yourself every other year. So on odd years, take the raise you get at put it away in automated savings. On the even years, add more money to your budget to spend however you like.
Of course, I didn’t always get a raise each and every…

There is a reference to Lost in the article. I don’t know much about the show, but I do know that the show played with flashbacks and flashforwards in the show (similar to This Is Us and Me, Myself, and I).

9 out of 10 stars for the straw man argument to blame the victim. What an idiot.

A cinematography thing I noticed: When Rebecca was on the phone, the scene around her was in slow motion, but she was moving at normal speed. I am sure there is software to make this happen, but it made me curious about how that is accomplished (maybe the actors moved in slow motion?!?!?).

In regards to moving forward…

Thanks! I had considered that I was using the wrong homophone there, but I was too lazy to look it up when I posted from my phone.
So I learned something new today!

He’d probably sick ICE on her and have her deported...

Sounds like a great plan to me! 8^D
