re: Daughter overuses the word "like"
Posted by Carolhdg on 12/13/25 at 2:34 pm to sleepytime
When I was in 7th grade, I had an English & history teacher who disliked it when people said "well" all the time. She told us at the beginning of the year if anyone said "well" unnecessarily, she would say "hole in the ground" every time. People got tired of hearing that fairly quickly, and most of us learned to improve our speech patterns.
So, maybe start doing something annoying when she says "like". It may be a losing battle since you're not with her all the time, but my teacher was only with us two hours a day, and her technique worked.

re: How long did it take you to know your spouse was marriage material? Study says 172 days

Two months for me. My mil said she knew I was the one for her son as soon as she met me. That was 40 years ago, and we've been married for 39 years.
re: Are less and less women cooking?
Posted by Carolhdg on 11/17/25 at 2:49 pm to SaintlyTiger88
I know a lot of young women who cook and bake, whether they work outside their home or not. It's a lot less expensive and healthier.
We were both raised by parents who started out poor and taught us to avoid debt and pay as you go. In the 39th year of our marriage, we own our home & vehicles and pay off the credit card every month, so no debt.
However, I understand the difficulties younger people face. We bought our house at the bottom of the market, vehicle prices exploded after we bought our current vehicles, and it was a lot easier to pay for college out of pocket in the seventies. It’s a different world than when I grew up.

re: When was the last time you saw someone using a clothesline to dry clothes?

A few days ago. My husband likes the way his clothes feel when they dry on a clothesline.
re: If you went to school in the 70s/80s/90s How many kids did you know with gender dysphoria?
Posted by Carolhdg on 9/17/25 at 12:43 pm to Covingtontiger77
Went to high school and college in the seventies. No gender dysphoria among the students. Richard Raskind "Renee Richards" was the only one I had heard of. He was the one who made it possible for subsequent "male to female" athletes to compete with women, in his case, in tennis.

I, too, have been thinking that might be happening. I hope so.

The Methodist church rarely has open spots on game day now because they sell season passes. You can find out about the Presbyterian church here.

Where are you getting your demographics? Every source I've seen says the black & white percentages are the opposite of what you've posted.
Volcano rolls are usually good at most of the restaurants where I've tried it. Try a deep fried roll for a change; those are really good.
If you've only got one or two coming to your feeder, I really like these: LINK They're very easy to clean.

It depends on the maturity of the child. All four of mine started waking themselves up and getting dressed sometime during elementary school.
Otoh, my sil was still waking up her two children and nagging them to get dressed in college (she worked there, and they rode in with her).

I'm not afraid of death. I'm 68, so a lot closer to it these days. My lack of fear comes from my faith. Being closer to the end has made my faith stronger; I pray more, especially for other people, and am enjoying studying the Bible daily. The Psalms and the New Testament are filled with wisdom that is comforting.

I did. There's no one else I'd rather be with on a desert island. 39 years and can't imagine being without him.
re: Most sidewalks are a waste of money
Posted by Carolhdg on 8/22/25 at 11:27 am to weagle1999
The sidewalks in my neighborhood are used daily by many people, including me. They're my main venue for walking. There's too much traffic for me to be comfortable walking on the road. The sidewalks from my subdivision to the store are also well used.
They may be a waste of money in some places but not where I live.

He and his organization were a tremendous blessing to me in the eighties and nineties while we were raising our young family. The things I learned from him that were the most helpful were to give my husband 30-60 minutes to wind down when he got home from work before talking to him about stuff, and saving my long winded conversations for close girlfriends while getting to the point quickly when I did talk to him. There were occasions when longer conversations were needed, but those were the exceptions and not the rule. That advice has worked for 39 years of marriage.

No divorces among our grandparents and parents. We're still going strong after 39 years. .
