After reading all of the posts here, I've decided that I have to leave this forum because the hatred and ignorance expressed here is so appalling. I don't want this kind of poison in my life

70f and sunny !! Meanwhile, back in NH, it's 27f with snow showers. I'm SO glad I moved to Florida!

Great idea - I'm going to start doing that.

I think I would talk to a professional, but not a psychiatrist, as @Murrmurr said, they tend to be all about drugs. I would talk to a therapist or a social worker, someone whose professional focus is on talk therapy.

I think we should all pay attention to the BB date - you're right that oil goes rancid, and I also think that they put fewer preservatives in foods than they did back in the day. I try to check the dates when I'm at the store, and if I know that we realistically won't eat it before the BB day...

I love them! Where did you get them?

You've proved my point - my sister doesn't believe that dogs fart, but you and I know the truth... How do I feel in one word? Vindicated, thanks to @oldaunt !

I'm new hear and IDK about real names (everyone knows my real name lol) or PMs, but I feel included. When I post and people Like or Reply or Quote my post, I know that my words are being read and understood, and that makes me feel good about the forum.

I think the male version of the name is usually spelled without the "i" --- but I've actually met a few guys named Jaden...and I know that the actor Will Smith has a son named Jaden...

You may be the lucky one. I have 2 nieces, 2 nephews, and after my husband died I would only hear from them when they wanted to borrow money. Which I initially loaned out, but never got paid back. So I said no more loans, and now I pretty much don't exist for them.

I vote for yellow! I had this magenta polo shirt and my granddaughter said it washed out my complexion so bad, I looked like I died 3 days ago. But she loves my bright yellow T shirt, so I have to listen to the 8 year old fashionista...
