laser_vision Nice cat! Happy Fourth of July! It's a good day to spend with family and friends. I'm happy that you have events to attend with good food to eat. Nothing like free food to start a day off right.

Today, I felt compassion most strongly—especially for caregivers. I was one during the early lockdown days of COVID. I was doing so as a legally blind woman with dead knees. I HAD NO RESPITE! And, I was taking care of my mother...

laser_vision I love the picture. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I consider it cruel to force a blind person with bad knees into a caregiver role. I'm sure you did it out of love for your mom, but sometimes we need to realize that the ones who need care...

I'm almost 60. Married from 1993-2006, aside from about six years of living with a boyfriend, I have been single since. I don't dislike that, but sometimes I find myself dreaming like I did during my teen years. I saw myself in...

Sometimes, all I need is a warm plate of food to feel better. Whether it’s a simple bowl of githeri, freshly made chapatis, or a cup of hot tea on a rainy afternoon food comforts me in ways I can’t explain. It’s not just about...

laser_vision It's not really a food, but orange juice usually leaves me at peace. It reminds me of when I left my home for college for the first time, I would drink it to remember what it was like to be at home. We would serve orange juice with breakfast and dinner all...

laser_vision Lol, I was not expecting this response. How did it go? I presume that, due to lack of utility and zoning and easement concerns, it is easier to buy land for the dead than for the living.

laser_vision @LindaOHio Basically I get Tasso's green olives from Costco and drink the leftover juice when I'm done eating all of the olives. However, there are other forms of olive juice people drink - it's for longevity and performance since it repairs sugar damage done...

If you look carefully at the photo, I hope you can make out a pushbike with an old-fashioned lawnmower attached to the front. The notice is a tongu-in-cheek spiel about how appropriate this would be for the lady of the house....

laser_vision I would mow the lawn using such a thing if it actually worked. Seems very efficient and not at all dangerous or back-pain inducing like a regular push mower.

laser_vision @snowy22315 The right tool is a large flathead screw driver to pull the pin up and out of the hinge. Before you resort to that, I would try some turpentine in the hinge where the pin is, and also try some WD-40 to lubricate it. It’s possible that some paint...

The feeling of not getting an email or call for an interview, or when you do get an interview, you dont hear good news. Its really disheartening. Anyone have any advice for someone in a job hunt?
