    Are you a good "dieter"?

    For most of my life, I've had a pretty great metabolism. I've actually been a big eater, ate what I wanted and didn't have problems, in fact I may have been a little underweight through my 20s. The 30s came and the weight slowly started creeping up but it was fine, I was happy to gain some...

    Can't blame you. VERY little free parking anywhere in San Diego.

    The Bridge On SiriusXM

    Same for me. I don't tend to stay on any one of them too long but The Bridge is one of my presets.

    At What Age Do You Not Replace a Dog?

    Having a pet is *very* beneficial to most people at any age. I'd love to see more pets living and loving in nursing facilities. I'm sure some do and some visit, but it's not nearly widespread enough. They are absolutely soothing for people who enjoy animals but are otherwise going through a...

    Uggh, the news, I wonder if we all just stopped buying stuff then the fed would cut rates?

    I disagree. We had high rates for YEARS. My first home was bought at 13% interest, I refinanced at 8%. Current home bought at 8% and I refinanced to 2%. I spent most of my adult life at an interest rate that would burn your eyeballs out. We still had kids, we bought homes, we spent money...

    At What Age Do You Not Replace a Dog?

    Around 5 years ago (age 55 for me and 57 for hubby) we got my last "new" dog. Then, oops, we fostered a dog 2 years ago and we ended up with her. So we are in our 60s now with a 6 year old dog and a 3 year old dog. If all goes well we will be pushing early 70s when their time is up. I can't...

    Post-surgical recovery...UGH

    Get well soon. The time will pass and you'll get better everyday. I had a surgery in 2021 that required me to have 8 weeks of non-weightbearing. I thought I would lose my mind!

    San Diego Hotel

    Marriott Marquis is a great choice. Most people love the hotel. I'm usually there for work so have to forgo it because of the "destination fee" and the parking fee. The harbor area is nice, but kinda touristy, and I think Gaslamp has sort of declined with the homeless situation but San...

    San Diego Hotel

    I have not stayed there but La Jolla and La Jolla Shores are nice little locations but very off the beaten path of the "heart of San Diego" stuff. I was just there last week and there were SO MANY sea lions. Much mor than last year. Even my son who lives there remarked on how many there were...

    Who is the crazy one?

    Our office went to lateral files probably in 2012 when we got new office furniture. We have no more file cabinets like the one above. Not sure why the changeover--I think the lateral file cabinets (while longer) don't stick out as much into walkways. We do use some of our lateral drawers from...

    Who is the crazy one?

    We always had those large filing cabinets where the file folders sit sideway along a very LONG horizontal drawer. In those situations, it's left to right. No way to file front to back.

    Who is the crazy one?

    I don't do much filing anymore because we are all electronic but I would have always gone to left to right.

    DIDDY OR DIDN'T HE?

    I agree. I was shaking my head watching it. Of course, innocent until proven guilty.

    Anyone remember having this in the house growing up?

    Hard to remember. I moved out of my parents house in 1982 and we had them several years before then. I want to think like maybe when I was in junior high which could have been late 70s.

    Anyone remember having this in the house growing up?

    We had these. I swear Bob Barker advertised them for a time.

    Work Conferences

    Just got back from a work conference. 400 people attending. The response to go in-person was overwhelming and they didn't offer a virtual option. I honestly don't want to sit online all that long and do something like that. Of course, they held it in San Diego so I'm sure that helped.
