So, maybe I am admittedly armchair quarterbacking a bit here. But we have the story of the McDonald's manager who shot a woman in her store and there are many moving parts to it here. Violence is one of them....

paigea @porwest I'm not assuming the manager did anything wrong. I'm also not assuming the manager did everything right. I'm refusing to assume. The employee could have been a complete jerk. Some are. The scenario that the manager made a reasonable request is just...

Don’t get me wrong—I know what Fig Newtons are. I’ve been eating those things my whole life. They’ve always been cookies. They live in the cookie aisle. They roll with the Chips Ahoy and the Oreos. We’ve never questioned it. We’ve...

paigea @rebelann Good point. There's cardboard and then there's cardboard. Gardeners use it to keep down weeds between the rows. So I've read that some cardboard is okay for that and some is not, due to what it's made from.

paigea @porwest I don't automatically support the "spoiled brat" or the "tyrannical manager". You seemed to be supposing the worker was over reacting to being asked to take out the garbage. It's just as likely to suppose it's the 6th thing she was ordered to do at...

paigea We've always been pretty frugal. Yes, we're eating out slightly less. And slightly less likely to have a drink. Maybe just an appetizer each. Less likely to have dessert. We were already like that so just slightly more thoughtful. Partly, it's just too much...

paigea Fun! I will die of lower respiratory infection when I'm 88. But if I get my BMI under 25 and change my diet from OK to good, I can live to 103 and die of cardiovascular. I'm feeling inspired! I met my dad's former teacher when she was 103. She remembered my...
