I'm so glad to hear that she's OK, and the outcome was better than expected! Tooth removal is not that unusual here in the States, either... but it costs a small fortune. When our friend had to have dental

RE: You Have 374 Unread Messages...
When I first came to the US for college (1981), four of us shared a 1950s 4BR/1.5 bath house, rent on which was $385, as I recall. In Total. It was about 1200 square feet. Seemed normal.

RE: On Rapidly Increasing Wealth Inequality
I have a sense that the "enshittification" of the world started with Gen-X — we were the first group of people to grow up with the possibility that we would NOT be as well off as our parents.

RE: E-commerce and the Broken American Dream
Without looking at the political side of it, the *sociological" side seems to suggest that we have created a very "ME focused" society. Nobody considers the impact entirely ME actions has

RE: E-commerce and the Broken American Dream

RE: HIVE all time low, just hit 5 cents. I am buying, powering up, but I think the current model is failing.

RE: Gardening is Good for the Soul!
Getting old — or as we like to call it around here "olding" — is definitely not for the faint of heart! It feels a bit strange that our HOA has gotten as militant as it has, given that 60 years

In this day and age where so many things we're engaged in only produce intangible and invisible results, gardening is a lovely reminder of something that is very real and tangible. You sow some seeds,
