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.

Who gave up the HR?

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.

You're better off asking that question here: LSU Women's basketball
The people who care about WBB gather there.

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.

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.

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 did. There's no one else I'd rather be with on a desert island. 39 years and can't imagine being without him.

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.

I did not want my mother in the room when I was giving birth; thankfully she didn't want to be there either. I wish I had had a doula though.

We lived in Central in 2016, on what had always been high ground. I remember looking at the radar on the morning of the 12th and telling my husband that the system wasn’t moving. I recommended that we go to the store for some essentials that afternoon, which we did. On the way back we had two inches of flood water on our street already.
The next day we were surrounded by water, no way out. Our ditch was overflowing, and across the street I couldn’t see our neighbor’s yard, but our house was in no danger thanks to the road which kept the water away from us.
We didn’t get out until Monday. Thankfully 90% of our friends and family weren’t flooded, but I had two friends and a cousin who lost everything. My husband helped a friend’s mil by redoing the bottom four feet of her home; thankfully it was small. It took several weeks.
Our yard guy had to borrow our boat to get his wife and her cats out of their trailer in the Shenandoah area; his trailer was a total loss.
