Don't forget what was done to women who reported rapes 30 years ago. They were "raped" again in court and made to feel like they were the perpetrators. Young girls are afraid, their parents may want them to keep silent to avoid the shame. Actresses who want to keep their careers are told to keep...
I doubt an eye doctor would be suggesting surgery for floaters. They are annoying, but harmless. I've gotten so used to mine that usually they don't bother me and I mostly notice them when I'm looking at white or light surfaces. I've had them forever and I do get new ones. My glaucoma specialist...
I have to go outside and down steps to the laundry room, which happens to be beneath my apartment (my building also has 8 steps). Often I wait until I feel up to getting it done, which luckily is usually once a week. I only use the double loaders and every now and then, I'll do two double loads...
My best friend (BFF) who has played piano for many well known artists and sometimes toured with them (eg: The Crystals and Tiny Tim), played for Lou Christie. I didn't realize he was such a good looking guy until I saw a flyer she gave me of one of his shows when he was younger. She told me that...
Right now, I'm very afraid of "true love" and how it would likely change my very comfortable life. But ultimately being the romantic I am, I'd probably choose love over money. Decades ago, I experienced unrequited love and it was quite painful.
@old medic As long as you enjoy your playing...that's what counts. :)

My son said it doesn't cost more to pay for parking using the app he's been using. I wonder if the app is charging you to use it or if the extra cost goes to the town.
Good thing you like where you live and working all that land! I am and always will be a city girl. @officerripley and @jujube it's too bad you can't experience the convenience of living in a walkable area. My address has a 98% walk score. After I stopped driving and later after my husband...
Yes, in my neck of the woods, Celebration of Life is also the term used, as it should be. One finds out the darndest things about people at their "going home service", another term that was used for funeral. Wow...how ironic that your friend is suffering from the same ailment as your deceased...
I love your wife's attitude about having to curtail the dancing. I hope she continues to heal well and can get back on the floor soon. It's very cool that you two went ballroom dancing so often. Great memories and photos to look back on. Saving $250 per ticket on seeing Si Cranstoun tickets is a...
