As usual, life doesn't tend to offer up simple and neatly packaged answers for us! I have increasingly made peace with simply not knowing. But even so, the mind sometimes wanders/wonders...

I have a few people like that in my life... a couple of them I was actually able to find via social media, but so many seem to not even exist anymore. So I just don't know...

In some ways it's all a sad reflection on the overall human condition: we have to work more and longer to be in the same situation as we were, 30 years ago. Given all the technology and robotics we have...

After poking around in this topic for a bit, it seems that golf has become one of those pastimes that's making itself obsolete. The last time I bought a set of golf clubs was in the early 1990's and it

Ah yes, I remember "Brother George" on golf courses! Although I do recognize that the golf course is gradually growing "irrelevant," I can't help but also think of Joni Mitchell's classic

It makes me feel sad, as well... but I also recognize that our world is changing, and golf perhaps represents an era that no longer "functions," much like grand manor houses with sweeping gardens.

Looks like some very nice and super sturdy beds! Are these sleepers actually stock lumber in the UK, or is someone milling down actual railway sleepers to get the creosote and tar off them? Here in the

@geneeverett, Jaynie "went walkabout" in July of 2021; had some things to take care of in her personal life, and was settling into a change of pace, looking for something slower; she moved away

I'm still holding tight to the idea that there's a space for cryptos to the extent that a token offers the world some tangible benefit. Vaporware? No thanks! Cryptos that exist for no further reason than

I always swore up and down that I would "only curate manually," but some months back I went to more of a :hybrid" system... basically as a result of not having the time on my hands I once

It has pretty much always gotten my hackles up when people, organizations and companies gender stereotype/pigeonhole. Ironically, I originally ran into it "in reverse" when I came from Europe

That's a long drive, in two days! Did the Bournemouth to Malaga run a few times "back in the day" when motorways in Spain were far fewer and far between... Much luck with the move back to the

I am really glad I decided to give this community a second look after having seen it tagged in various posts for a long time. At the time, I was very involved with once mega-busy "Power House

I'm totally onboard with the "No plastic floors" law. I think it should be enacted as soon as possible. My guess is those wood planks will look amazing once they are clean and refinished. They

Something has to give. At least here in the US, it does. And housing is front and center... here in our area, the prices have been rocketing upwards for years, and in our neighborhood, the average time

She's certainly a very beautiful cat! It's good to offer some gentle encouragement and give our cats a chance to get used to new sounds. Our "Shadow" was quite frightened of the vacuum cleaner

I suppose one of the things I have to confess to in all this is that I tend to be someone who'd like an outcome that "makes as many people as possible happy." I do think we're talking about pretty

If we had a so-called "perfect world," I'd be inclined to agree. But the broad-based assumption of "rational self-interest" tends to not hold true, which is where voluntaryism often

Clearly, you also pay attention to your surroundings, and to the small signs the seasons and nature send us as "markers." Things are running late here in western Washington, due to a particularly

Thank you! Yes, it's not often we see it in bloom, since it mostly gets harvested and used before reaching that point. But we like to let a few go to blooms and then seed so we can save the seeds for next
