Survey: Do you really enjoy 'dating?'
Comments (60)I have been away for such a long time -- it's not the company. I have been a care-giver for a friend I used to date, who just died of cancer. Which reminds me: Asolo, how is your Mother? Gladys: Yes, I have been interested in the Master Gardener courses. I actually did that when I lived in Atlanta, but want to do it again because I've moved to the West and gardening is very different out here. I had the good fortune to discover a community garden, and I'm very active in it and serve on the board. I love it! coolvt: I have dated a few fellas who had no apparent money constraints -- some I met through my profession and a couple of others through a singles group at church. But two of the best guys I've dated were very mainstream economically. I discovered a long time ago that the old saying "Money can't buy happiness" is very, very true. I would rather go to McDonald's with someone I really enjoy being with, then the fanciest place in the country with someone who's boring or otherwise just not for me. I hope you're meeting better prospects than the one you described. Sounds like "good riddance."...See MoreHow do you enjoy the fruits of your labor?
Comments (34)Like so many of you here, I've always been very affected by my surroundings. Be it a classroom, a home, work, business, restaurant, shop, etc. Depressing-to-me places make me want to be anywhere else. Inviting places, do just the opposite. This need is what inspires and strongly urges us to create nurturing, beautiful-to-us places to live and work. I've personally felt this way as far back as I can remember. A four year old telling my mother that we needed to move the sofa here or a painting there . . . and drawing my own "paintings" on the walls where I thought they should be when she didn't comply, complete with frames . . . using her many lipsticks. I like that I've been able to create a warm, inviting, beautiful, nurturing home for myself, my family and friends. I did it with my first apartment and every place I've lived in since. And, yes, I love to enjoy my rooms and vignettes when they're finished. Our living room and master bedroom cocoon me. Our kitchen inspires me. Our family room is a great place to lounge with feet up on the coffee table and visit with family or friends. They invite me in. Make me smile. Nurture me. Admiring them comes with the territory (LOL). "Savor" is an even better way to describe it. These warm Summer days, it's my small, walled garden that calls me most often. My flowers are all madly blooming now. The fountain attracts all sorts of our mountain birds. The high adobe walls cocoon me, while still letting in the view of our mountains behind us. I love sitting out there in the morning, patio umbrellas open, and after dark with the garden and tree lights on, admiring and enjoying everything while I read a bit or chat with DH. It may not be everyone's perfect garden or home, but isn't that what makes each of our homes special? They work for us. Make us happy. Nurture us. And, if we're wise, we allow ourselves times to sit back and just savor it all....See MoreIced Coffee Anyone?
Comments (22)I often enjoy an iced coffee in the late afternoon while watching the news. But I don't use any special "recipe". I wonder how much difference a recipe would make? I use a dark roast coffee (various brands, like to try different ones) and brew it pretty strong. I have a cup or 2 in the morning, hot, with just non-dairy powdered creamer, unflavored. I do not want any sweetener or flavoring of any kind in my morning coffee! That morning coffee is used for my PM iced coffee. Put it in a tall glass, add cold, flavored creamer, add ice and enjoy. My favorite creamer is International Delight, various flavors, but Amaretto is my favorite. I had been buying the Starbuck's bottled Frappuccino in the grocery store, but they are fairly expensive. Then I finally got the idea of making it at home. Much cheaper and so many more flavors available. Rusty...See MoreWhat do you least enjoy (or even dislike) about SAH?
Comments (67)One of my staff members is having a hard time, she’s about ready to retire, lives alone, children across the country, and we are really, really busy right now, so she’s stressed on all levels. Speaking personally, I love all aspects of WFH, but I will miss live music this summer. On an existential level, I'm terrified for and worried about how individuals - not corporations - are going to fare now, during the worst of the pandemic and after its over. I fear our way of life will be fundamentally altered, and not in the ways I want (my preferred altering would be women having full control of their bodies, ERA passed, stricter pollution/air/water laws, Medicare for all, UBI, immigration reform, all the progressive stuff), but with high unemployment, more poverty, more of a class divide, more inequality and more misery....See More- 8 years ago
