Once, as a baby. I feel no need to do another one. I don't understand the denominations that insist on full emersion. Lot's of people don't have a river handy. Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, so I would think all Christians would want to do the same.

1950: 983 That's about the size of the Levittown houses built right after WWII. I've watched several documentaries about Levittown and listening to the original owners talk about how thrilled they were to be able to buy their own house with a yard, after doubling up with relatives after the...

Yes. A few years ago my, straight, brother died of HPV mouth cancer. He had always been very healthy, didn't smoke, played tennis every day. One day he passed out on the golf course, went to the ER, they kept him overnight for tests and the next morning a doctor came in and said, "You have...

AT&T and Spectrum cut us off landlines about six months ago. We had to go buy our first cell phones and I still can barely work mine. My longwinded friend usely talks for about an hour and by then my hand is cramped from trying to hold on to that little cell phone and my ear hurts from jamming...

I just read that the CDC recomends getting the vax at age 11 or 12. Did she say why she had her grand daughter vacinated at 9? How terribly sad.

Hello, James. What sort of books do you publish?

I saw the thread pop up and got excited thinking she'd bought herself a puppy. I really need to quit thinking about dogs so much.

What are the signs, Holly? I have a feeling I've been fooled quite a few times. (Just noticed your signature line and I love it.)

I have five pieces of Pyrex, all from garage sales/thrift stores. The new stuff with a blue cast to the glass is not as good and more likely to shatter coming from a hot oven to a cold counter top.

I'd just like to know what happened to the Girl Scouts and their fine cookies. They were always welcome at our door.

This is a good short video for someone like me who can't put weight on her knees, complete with indifferent dog. Yes I've fallen letting the dog out, too. I've scooted on my rear from the back door to the sofa to do this.
