I'm in my sixties as well, and perhaps the whole "hobby" thing is a generational question. When we grew up, there was no internet and you largely had to entertain yourself or hang out with your

The points you bring up here, brings to mind the fact that I sometimes wonder if it is even possible to be a moral and just person if you're voting in America in 2023. And I'm honestly only being a little

All your handmade and upcycled ornamentation in your hanging garden is absolutely wonderful! It gives it a beautifully whimsical look. It's a great idea to mix your creativity into gardening, we have quite

Over the years I have increasingly chosen the kind of work that doesn't feel as much like work, even though it often comes at the expense of a lower income. But that's okay, because it's a trade-off I'm

Oh definitely! And what makes it particularly interesting, is that each of our three kids mirrors back different aspects of our shadows, and that applies both for my wife and myself. Our oldest son (34)

Thank you! I certainly don't miss very many days here, and I have definitely come to think of this community as a very enjoyable pastime.

Good that it is fixed, but yes very sad about the payment. Here we are fortunate to have something called a "leak credit" from the Water Company. Once you can demonstrate that a leak was fully

You should probably take what I say here with a grain of salt, because I'm basically "obsolete," having started as a blogger in 1998 and never stopped! That said, I think it is absolutely essential

That's a fact, and a good point! And with NaNoWriMo, missing a day or two was never a big deal, if you made it up over the next day, or next few days. Here, you only get the badge if you have a time-stamped

Pareidolia fascinates me; has, since I was a kid. Particularly in nature where I spent a lot of my time. And so, we also have all these legends of the "Green Man" and such. Dog? Are you trying
