so about a year ago i got notified that my ‘data’ (not further specified) was captured as part of a data breach. fast forward to today, and i’m looking at a recent american express bill and there is an approximately $2,200 charge from amazon.com that i don’t recognize. i look at my amazon...

okay, so apparently i am waaayyyy behind the times. had someone tell me today about how math is currently being taught. they might as well have been speaking chinese for how much i understood it. she said her kid frequently asks if she can help with his homework, and she's like, um, no...

am in search of fresh fava beans and black figs, or black fig jam. any ideas?

specifically on the coast. weather? (especially fog and rain) nice towns? recommended areas? areas to steer clear of? any info / experience is much appreciated.

have noticed lately the serious absence of bugs and other flyers and crawlers. noticed this first in my garden and on my property (and do not use any pesticides), but also as i began to pay attention - seemingly everywhere. it used to be that there were spiders, earwigs, roly poly bugs...

am looking to surprise my SO (which is ridiculously difficult to do). timing would be october. an exotic train trip seems romantic to me. anyone have any experience with that sort of thing?

my sincere apologies to ask this of you, but i have received a request to write an article about the general subject of the death of a loved one. focused on grief, and especially thoughts on the recovery from loss. this is a subject very dear to my heart, and i am overwhelmed with my own...

i work for a charity that puts on an annual gala fundraiser (dinner and live auction). during the dinner, we show a video production centered around the charity, and starring someone the charity benefits - for the purpose of bringing the message home to the audience what their dollars go toward...

am torn. neurotic desire for control (over immediate environment or projection onto some other uncontrollable issue). in any event - are you compulsively tidy? or cool with chaos?

for me it was 6. big teeth (one black from a face plant on the front porch), big nose and big feet, stupid fluffy hair, and not a care in the world. biggest worry was protecting my little plastic ponies from the grubby fingers of my school yard friends. and finding the boy i would marry -...

kicked a dog (say something)

the john lennon thread - and people saying how they remembered exactly where they were when they heard got me thinking about memorable days, especially the ones that changed my life. remember them like they were yesterday. the day i left my parents house at 17 with everything i owned stuffed...

cliches aside - what do you think it is? my current obsession among many worthy candidates is impatience. seemingly benign. very stealthy. very deadly.

my recently widowed mother wants to sell her sedan and 7 passenger SUV and buy a practical vehicle. her goal is a reliable, comfortable vehicle, easy to drive, and load stuff in and out of. she likes the idea of a smaller SUV because she likes the ride height and having good road visibility...

“If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.” ― Mario Andretti Happy Birthday dude! Hope you had an awesome day!

found a very large spider (body the size of a dime) in my refrigerator this morning. it was dead, but had clearly been alive in there - seemed to have expired mid stride as it was walking along at the back of a shelf. spiders don't bother me, even big ones, but this totally freaked me out. i...

recently took a stroll down memory lane at my fathers memorial. my kid sister and i stood up together and read our favorite childhood memories. it was odd to think of 'used-to-be's', but somehow comforting. stupid shit that had no meaning to anyone but us - picnics with peanut butter and...
