We take group orders involving grandparents every time the kids come to visit. We are the grandparents and we have no problem with DoorDash (etc). Stop with the “grandparents are clueless” horse hockey.

You left out Robin and Marian.

 I was skeptical about the “Christian traditions” from a very young age. This did not fly with my very religious parents. I fought with them for years about it. Worked it down to only going with them for Christmas and Easter, and finally when I was in high school I won and they let me stay home.

For most of my life I never drank coffee because I couldn’t stand the taste. But it finally dawned on me that there were other ways to make coffee besides the method my parents used, which was instant coffee drowned in milk and sugar.

I think my husband has time blindness. Even when he worked in a business that had clocks on every wall he never saw them.

I’m 0ld enough that I could have been at Disneyland on opening day. Used to watch all the little features on the Walt Disney show (in black & white). Yes, I wanted to go to Disneyland. But it was definitely not my parents’ kind of thing even if we had lived nearby (they were snobs and oh so into LITrachure and…

My parents, who both drank a lot, encouraged my brothers to take sips of alcoholic beverages, especially my dad’s beer. They thought it was funny. All three of my brothers turned into heavy drinkers and one became an alcoholic. I don’t claim that one led to the other, because drinking alcohol was a daily occurrence in…

Your local public library may accept commercial VHS tapes as donations. But check with them first.

My father was adamant that we could not leave butter out to soften because it would “go rancid.’’ There was no way he could be talked out of that notion, so we spent our childhoods tearing up toast with rock hard butter. My friends’ families left the butter dish out on the counter all the time and had lovely…

I have loved that nuclear orange Kraft mac & cheese since I was a kid (I just turned 70). It was the only way my mom ever made it.

Last year we had a female mockingbird who repeatedly flung herself at my office window every afternoon. I got some soap and scribbled on the outside of the window, so whatever she saw in it was no longer clearly visible. Worked fine and it didn’t harm the window or the bird.

My parents did not pay for good grades. For one thing, they were chronically short of money (and didn’t know doodly-squat about money). The whole time I was in grade school they KNEW the price of lunch and still didn’t have the money sometimes. They KNEW they could save money by paying for a week’s worth of lunches…

Dave is definitely the best. 

I’m just stepping away from social media completely for a few days and not watching MSNBC till it seems safe to go back.

Use ghee instead. It doesn’t burn.

My granddaughter has two mommies and her best friends have two daddies. I don’t know what language her teacher uses, but I’m sure my daughter and her wife would speak up immediately if they didn’t like what they heard.

This “I’d rather die than not party so you can STFU” attitude infuriates me.

My husband just never grasped the concept of priorities. And it’s made life difficult for him for a very long time. He always seems to waste time doing unimportant stuff. Years ago I asked him “Can you go to work without reading the newspaper? Can you go to work without eating breakfast? Can you go to work without…

I have been trying to do that for several years now.

Our carbon steel wok is still going strong in its 48th year in our house.
