I think this every time I have to put away laundry

I always travel with electrical tape for this reason.

Thank you for this! I was just diagnosed with shingles (at only 45), and people have said I should get the shingles vaccine once this clears up. I would love to know where to learn more about potential risks and benefits of it. Suggestions on where to start?

This! --> "But once they're in, the currency is their attention, their courage, their willingness to engage"

Except that now our trash can smells like sardines... 🫤

It does seem a little bit like that...

Prices are high, that's undisputable, but Aldi prices tend to be a lot better than other stores (not for everything, but for most of what I typically buy). Why would you choose to spend more if you don't have to?

I take issue with "like any decent parents" when we're talking about celebrating a first birthday. She would be super excited to eat a cupcake at home with just you. Whose idea of decency requires this? Is the party for her or for your friends/status?

My thought exactly. If you're already going this overboard when she's too little to know what's going on, how bad will it be when she's actually big enough to have opinions and expectations? Not to mention if other siblings come along... This is definitely not a budget-friendly.

I wonder if there's ever a day or time that ALL the curbside spots are being used... Maybe the solution is just to cut the number down because it does seem excessive.

Wow, this is a great video. If you've previously felt confused, disheartened, etc by the book of Ecclesiastes, this is definitely worth a watch. "Enjoy life as you experience it, not as you think it ought to be." youtu.be/lrsQ1tc-2wk?si=D5tq…

Ugh I forgot there was a paywall and wasted time clicking on the link

To be fair, your idea of "not very good" is still head and shoulders above writing many would be really proud of... You just have really freaking high standards. Have you seen what most people's writing looks like though?

I mean it does have "cake" in the name & it's baked in a spring form "cake" pan, not a pie plate...
