Working From Home Today.

Hey there, everyone. I’m working from home instead of the coffee shop today. I need(ed) to take care of some offline tasks, including laundry, and I don’t feel like squeezing all of it into the evening. Plus, I’m sipping on...

Some Days Feel Heavier Than Others

Curlann @annierose (21936) • United States 12 Jan

For those of you who have already read my previous discussion about my mom’s flight to the Philippines, I want to share an update. She flew back home last week and is now safely there. I would also like to sincerely thank all the...

Macy I'm glad that she got home safely. My husband has the same dilemma. His mom is based in California and can't fly to the Philippines anymore due to old age. So, it's my husband who flies to San Jose to spend time with her.

Pretty Added a Bidet

DE @DaddyEvil (166623) • United States 4 Jan

Pretty surprised me when she said she wanted to add a bidet to our toilet. I've never used one or seen one in any in the homes we've been in. I told her that was fine but I was a bit concerned about using cold water for it......

Macy Yes, we have a bidet installed in each of our bathrooms. It's hard (for me) to not have one in my own house. It's our alternative to the small bucket that we would use to wash ourselves in the way that's very common to our culture. I also find the...

The flu has hit Illinois very hard

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54036) 6 Jan

A few weeks ago, I thought that the flu warnings were overblown and exaggerated. Evidently not. Our ER's are full--I mean, really, really full. The hospitals here or close by seem to be recommending that you not really go to the...

Macy Yikes. I hope you don't get the flu. I've just barely recovered from it and so did the other members of our household. Take care.
