We leave them alone when we find them outside. They rarely come inside. Just didn’t want to take the risk of being bitten.

We still put the bigger spiders outside. The two times we got a black widow in the house, though, it got a quick smush.

Los Angeles Metro is offering free bus and train rides on election day.

My mom was born in France, where nobody cared if she drank wine as a little girl. It’s like smoking (which she also started at about age 14). If you get started early it’s almost impossible to stop.

But....  but.....  my favorite game is Neko Atsume!  :)

My granddaughter is 5 and regularly kicks my butt at Mario Kart on the 2DS.

No, like I said, it hasn’t been supported for years. But you can add the Google certificates to your trusted list.

Of course not. Sometimes I’m worse. But being right is one of my virtues.  :)

Eudora hasn’t been supported for a really long time. And a year or so it developed issues with accepting Google certificates, which led me to believe I’d have to find another program. Fortunately, there are plenty of Eudora devotees who can figure out how to fix pretty much everything. I like having all my email…

We just said “It’s fun to pretend” and had fun pretending. But the kids always knew it was make-believe.

Thanks. My kids had no problem with the notion that “it’s fun to pretend.”

Just saying that Gmail add-ons are not the only solution.

I am happy with how my email works because I’ve been using Eudora for many, many years.

A Jewish friend spilled the beans on Santa when I was about 7. I still remember the sense of betrayal. We NEVER told our kids that Santa was real.

Gawwwwd. That would make me sick.

I’ve never even seen an Alexa so I will take your word for it.

When you’ve got a new baby, don’t try to keep the house quiet. Make noise. Run the vacuum cleaner. Play the stereo. Seriously. A baby who lives in a noisy house ignores the noise. A baby who lives in a quiet house will get jolted right out of its diaper at the first rattle.

Good advice. I will do that.

Yes, and how many children have you adopted, Oh Righteous One?
