I don't consider the drag racing incident bad parenting myself. Since the father was a professional drag racer I would guess he had enough knowledge to determine if it was safe enough for his daughter to attempt it. She may have already shown herself to be a competent driver in other...

The tree in front of our house is getting its leaves back. It's a California sycamore.

Welcome. My dad is 93 and lives alone although he often has his girlfriend over for a few days or goes to her place for a few days.

I prefer thighs overall but a well cooked breast is good as well. It kind of depends how the chicken is prepared and what type of dish it's in. I think my favorite chicken dish is a wonderfully spicy mole with great depth of flavor. For that a shredded breast is just fine.

Have fun! We love cruising but rarely want to return to a place we've sailed before. Our first cruise was one to Ensinada and Catalina Island from Los Angeles and infected us with the cruise bug. We're off to a cruise to Alaska in June.

I'd definitely agree that it seems like things happened more recently than they actually did for me as well. However my thoughts after discovering that don't go to where did the time go. I just realize that my internal calendar isn't that reliable.

This was inspired by hearlady's answer to the "What will be your last thought?" thread. Personally I'm fairly happy with how I've spent my life. I feel like I've been fortunate and privileged enough to have had lots of amazing opportunities and I've taken advantage of many of them. It isn't...

I retired in October 2023. I joined the local climbing gym again after retiring and now climb between one and four times most weeks. I'd like to go outdoors climbing but want to finds folks to do that mid week while my wife is busy teaching or doing her chorus activities. I haven't found...

I don't have any idea what my last thoughts will be. There's always a chance I'll be so out of it I won't really notice myself going and my last thoughts will be something like "Hmmm... something doesn't feel right." There's also a chance I won't be aware of my end coming and my last thought...

I don't consider putting on a sweatshirt or a jacket over what I'm wearing as changing clothes since I always wear them over a shirt. It depends on what I'm doing that day and the time of year it is. It's usually somewhere between zero and two most days but sometimes it's more. I'm another...

Welcome! I was born in Wisconsin but have lived most of my life here in California. I fondly remember trips back to Rhinelander to visit my grandparents and other family members.

Was in Miami Beach two weeks ago for the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and Guy Fieri walked by while we were eating. My wife got a picture on my phone.

I saw someone list their top 100 songs of all time with a limit of one song per artist a few years back and came up with my own. Here are my top three songs. They aren't very popular or well known like most of my favorite music. (BTW the group The New Pornographers have nothing to do with...
