maccer50 Now we are, most of us, working women and housewives, both. Pulling double duty and taking care of the bills, the house, the kids, the yard, personal relationships, school, church... EVERYTHING. The reason is that many men in this country (I am not saying all...

maccer50 I was complaining about the economy and the fact that women's salaries have gone down instead of up and that there are a lot of societal expectations on women that are impractical and unfair. How did this break down into some kind of worn out dogma regarding...

maccer50 Under what circumstances was it blocked? Was there an announcement on the news? Did the government explain why it is banned? I am curious to know more information about this ban. Maybe you should add a note to Wikipedia to inform others that the site was...

maccer50 Gotta love those freezing drinks. Try this recipe: Place the following items in a blender; Vanilla ice cream (about 3 scoops) milk (enough to make a loose shake) and a shot of amaretto ( an almond liqueur) it will take the edge off for sure. Other liqueres can...

maccer50 I agree that it is a good idea to prevent dehydration. Of course the best thing for this is water. I use the ice cream or beer to comfort me.

maccer50 Hi Shanarenea, I appreciate your response. Since I first posted this on the blog site, the council sent someone to collect the craft items and other things from the previous leader. I finally have the checkbook, but the council closed the old account and we...

maccer50 Hi Mengrufa, I used to dislike staying home because I was easily bored by how calm it is here. Now that I am older and have had to stay home for almost 2 years, I have grown used to it. Now it seems that when I am out in a crowd or where there are too many...

maccer50 I recommend that you go to the dinner. Obviously, if the hostess already knows that you are broke, her expectations are low. One thing you may consider, though, is possibly re-potting the cutting off of a houseplant; or replanting a baby house plant that has...

maccer50 My 14 year old son is left handed, as is his paternal grandmother. We never tried to force him to use the other hand. We believe that to do so would cause psychological harm and would be grossly unfair to him. Whatever hand you use is hardwired into your brain...

maccer50 I have not, but I think it would be hard to prove by now. I know a lady in Indiana who told me that her dentist carved spaces between all of her teeth. He had told her that her teeth were too close together and that she needed "spacers". She had perfect teeth...

maccer50 Hi Checapricorn, Thank you for your comments. I hope you never do meet any dentist as bad as that. I am glad that we have this forum to discuss it on because we can share ideas about what to do. When it happened, I didn't have the money for a lawyer. Now, I...

maccer50 I love nerds. I am married to a nerd. I may be part-nerd too. The reason I love nerds is because many of them are direct communicators who will not tap dance around what they are trying to say. I dislike the type of people who imply things and want you to read...

maccer50 Actually, when I first started posting, I didn't understand that responses were really expected. Mostly I would respond only to the most helpful or interesting post. Sometimes though, I didn't respond to any of them.
