    Holiday open house

    Since it's going to be a Sunday, you could do Brunch-type stuff, and I don't know if you're also having younger kids, but there are tons of recipes for non-alcoholic delicious holiday punches online. Some ideas you may like (all or most can be prepared ahead). There are plenty of great recipes...

    Hurricane

    So scary. They were saying on the Weather Channel a little while ago that there were people in an RV park in Corpus Christi who have decided to ride out the storm, despite being strongly encouraged to leave. The anchorperson said that was tantamount to a death wish.

    Had to post again to ask a serious question

    My advice would be to consult an Elder Care Attorney first, then a Financial Advisor. The Elder Care Attorney is informed about the unique tax and sheltering laws for people at or close to retirement age, and will guide you accordingly based on what you and hubby want to do with the money. A...

    Would you feel slighted?

    Hi KSM, What does your husband think?

    Am i sensitive or is this inappropriate?

    OK, SWOT, so I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here. Without overthinking this, could it possibly be that when your friend said, "He's not for me, but he's perfect for you" that she meant harmlessly to infer that she was paying your husband a compliment, but she didn't want you to think that...

    Aldi & Wegman's

    SWOT, Wegmans is part of a large supermarket chain, and they're coming to my part of NJ. They're building it in town, and right now, it looks like a giant cement Rahway State Prison from the outside, but I'm sure when it's done, it'll be fine. It's huge, and there's a clocktower, so I'm...

    Aldi & Wegman's

    Two new supermarkets that I've never heard of and will be introduced to my geographic location are opening soon near my house. If you've got any insight into either or both, I'd love to hear about it. I love food shopping and cooking - it's just my thing - I can literally spend a good hour or...

    We all need to lose some serious weight

    This weekend, I was reading an interview with the actress Marilu Henner (64 y/o). The interviewer noted how slim and healthy she still looks, and Marilu said she and her husband work out every day, watch their diets, and it's not always fun. Marilu said something like, "Healthy is hard...

    My son is dead.

    How awful for you; you must be going through the gamut of emotions and questions. You tried everything you could and more to help him avoid this outcome. You must know that. I'm so terribly sorry.

    Heart Broken

    How heartbreaking, Pasa. He was a good and selfless friend to you, and I'm sure he was grateful for whatever advice you suggested. He knew your heart; do not regret that you were caught up in family drama most recently when you reconnected. He sounds like a caring soul. I'm so sorry for your...

    It Could Have Been a Small Stroke

    There's an expression in healthcare, "Time is Brain" when it comes to strokes, so it was so fortunate you got the clot busting medication fairly quickly. Thank goodness everyone was on their toes. So happy you're OK!

    Question

    True story: My husband and I were high school sweethearts and we got married at 22. We both came from old fashioned families and this kind of question, back in the late '70s would never even have to be asked - that would have been about as insane a concept ever imagined. AFTER we were married...

    Son is tired of living-going to commit suicide tonight or tomorrow.

    I think REs advice of contacting NAMI to help YOU is wise counsel. He could be playing you, maybe not, but either way, this is crazy stuff.

    All I can say is Wow! Your son is full of surprises. Good for him - this was a major maturity move. 14 cavities - ouch!

    My son is a homeless drug addict...

    LMS, You are just the most decent, patient and loving person and it breaks my heart to read this. I'm so sorry for all of it.

    Trader Joe Favorites?

    They offer frozen puff pastry seasonally - only from Thanksgiving thru Christmas, but what I like about it is it's made with butter. I usually use the Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, but that's not made with real butter. Trader Joe's' brand flies out of their freezer around Thanksgiving time, so...
