Don't hold back, just go ahead and say it!

What if play the old TV show "To Tell the Truth" with "Aunt Mavis". Being in disguise we will ask questions and "Aunt Mavis" will HAVE to tell the truth.?

Are you male or female? or something in between? :)

That was a good show, just like The Gong Show was.

I am so sorry, such betrayals truly hurt. Hugs. You are a bright light, some will envy that.

Thank you @Shalimar. You're always so kind and supportive. 😘

Finding out that someone isn't who they portray themselves to be is always best. Tbh, it's good to know. When someone shows you who they truly are, believe them. The cat's outta the bag in more ways than one, and there's no going back. 😉
 
I am thinking about how clutter is an anathema to me.

I wonder if my hair is getting longer, because it sure doesn't seem to be. My hair used to grow fast.

I have to groom Aidan myself now that the groomer won't take him because he nipped (no broken skin) the personal care attendant. My daughter laughed, and said these are his last days of looking like an actual dog! :)

I wonder how grocery prices can be so high. It completely baffles me, the difference in prices in PA and MA. 2 lbs. of frozen haddock fillets cost $15, and the fillets shrank or shrunk to less than 1/2 their size in the pan.

Also, lobster rolls are between $18 and $30 here, at a restaurant. Insane! Luckily I only like lobster one way -- boiled. No one messes with the pristine quality of my lobster. But Cousin really wants lobster rolls.
 

I'm thinking I really need a nice steaming bowl of home-made Minestrone and a fresh loaf of Italian bread.
I'll start the Italian bread tonight , so the biga will have a deep flavor.

(No kidney beans or chic peas in Mexico, so I'll have to substitute them with pinto beans. )
 
I was going through old emails. I ran across a 2012 one from a friend who is an apartment building superintendent in Ontario. A one-bedroom apartment in his building was $799 per month.

In another email, from 2021, he mentioned that they were over $1600. More than doubled in 9 years.

There are supposed to be controls on rent increases, so I don't know how that could happen. I only know that wages didn't double in 9 years.
 
After reading posts here for the last week. I'm thinking how unkind and righteous some people are and have been. How they've ridiculed and outright attacked others for sincerely and honestly expressing themselves. They seem to take pleasure in it because they do it repeatedly. I'm not talking about disagreements or a difference of opinion. I'm talking about tearing down someone for their core beliefs. Core beliefs are the very essence of how we see ourselves, other people, the world, and the future. We should be able to disagree without attacking someone else. I've seen more and more of it lately. It's upsetting and disturbing.

why can't I find a very warm, dressing gown/robe, that buttons or zips up instead of a belt , but doesn't look like it was made for a 100 year old... in the middle ages

This! Oh my gosh, I feel exactly the same. I've had some luck finding good-quality, okay-looking ones on eBay; it was a few years ago that I found one there, though.
 
Boy life doesn’t seem to get any easier. Went for a nice walk by Mississippi River yesterday with leaves changing color. Make a point of enjoying every little thing. Don’t expect huge things just little. 😊

I know just the thing you need but would probably need to have it custom made. You need a dressing gown like the style of old, those that were worn by movie stars back in the day. Full and flowing, buttons up the front, has a belt that comes through only the front, gives your waist definition. Very elegant. You might look on etsy or at some vintage shops.

I did manage to get one yesterday Blessed, thanks for the suggestion, and your right something like you suggest would be ideal .. the one I got yesterday isn't what I was looking for, so I will continue looking, for the one I really want.. never thought of looking on Etsy.. I'll do that.. (y)
 
How come there’s a rule “No Sharing” at the buffet restaurant? How else would I get a 2 for 1 deal? One person buys the “all you can eat” and the other person pretends that he’s there to read a book. When nobody is looking you grab things off of their plate. Fantastic deal!
 
Last week I went to the tire store to make an appointment for my snow tires. There was a dog standing guard at the door, so I went back to my car to make the appointment by phone. The lady inside saw me do this, and commented.

She said, "The dog is pretty good. Well, he's not good with children. If you're not comfortable [here she went into detail about how to proceed]."

What kind of idiot keeps a dog that's not safe around children, in their waiting room?

Oh well, I only have to worry about it twice a year.

This doesn't sound good, makes no sense, and is asking for trouble. Do people not bring their children with them when they go to buy tires? 🤨
