Seriously? THE PLAGUE is back????? 😱😱😱😱

I'll be sending positive energy your way!

(I love this guy^^ and I love you @Cupid Stunt for your comments above!)

Where's the puke emoji to be found on this site, again?

This made my day! How lovely that your brother will be with you for Christmas and staying with you for a good long while! Family is everything.......

This is one of my biggest pet peeves! Although I've been married since 1987.......and that almost didn't happen because my husband and I thought we'd just live together forever, until we realized certain benefits of being married (financial, healthcare decision making, etc.). We loved each other and knew we were in it for life, so we could take or leave being married. I guess the fact that both of our parents divorced right around the time we were 18 or 19 years old sort of put the stink eye on the whole thing. To think we've been married for 32 years, when the divorce rate is 50% and even higher when both sets of parents are divorced, just floors us. Anyhow.... If you were married and STILL didn't have kids, once people figured out it isn't due to some health thing, you're looked at as something "less than" when you're young enough to have them. Then, as you get older and people realize you didn't have children, not because you couldn't but because you elected not to, you get the whole "what are you going to do when you get older" questioning just like you are getting. I married a man who didn't want children. I knew it when we were dating and we certainly discussed it before we started living together and taking the next steps in what would be forever. I was o.k. with that, except for maybe a couple of years there when EVERYONE I knew was having children - a couple of months of therapy fixed that right up for me! But having children is no guarantee you will be "taken care of" in your old age. We have friends and family experience with this - sometimes, a child isn't capable, emotionally,financially or just physically, of providing that help, if that time comes!

I finally figured it out........they changed the "themes" section. On another forum here it was listed at the top of the page, it's not like I figured it out on my own!! You can easily change it back - I have, since I had my screen set to large print. Here's the message the site posted - hope it helps! Due to some some backend changes, we've updated how themes work on the site. If your old theme was lost, not to worry -- it can be recreated in two easy steps: 1) To change the theme color, scroll to the bottom of the page, click "themes" and choose your theme color (light or dark). The page will refresh 2) To change the font size and screen width, click "change font-size." (The large and X-Large font sizes expand the page width.) Please let us know if you run into any issues.

But if Kyle is Dina's grandson and Kyle and Theo are about the same age, it isn't too off the mark, is it? ** the issue is that Jack is probably old enough to be Kyle's grandfather!

Glad you, Mr. Stunt and all of your guests had a blast!

Karaoke for Crap!!! If I'm ever stranded, I want to be stranded near you....with quite a few liquid courage drinks, I swear I sound like Gwen Stefani....or Pink......or all of Aerosmith.

thanks so much for the update. I am glad "hell" has calmed down a bit, even though you still have to be on standby. We are checking in frequently with our family in Southern CA....my brother in law had a mandatory evacuation on Monday (Getty Fire) and several cousins fled further south to Carlsbad, Vista, and San Diego to stay with other relatives. I felt horrible for them......traffic is worse than usual, I hear. Stay safe!

Happy Halloween!

BE WELL AND BE SAFE

@boes I am keeping you, your family and everyone else in CA in my prayers. My husband's family is more in SoCal, scattered from Santa Barbara, Ventura, LA, all the way down the coast to San Diego and we're keeping tabs. The wind is awful. Please be safe!

Here's what I have to say about Cane's character being 86'd

Amen

Your picture puts it in perspective, location-wise. That is a little too close for comfort for me, too! All it takes is an ember from that fire to spark somewhere else, with the wind.

Anyone out in California, be safe. I just saw on the national News that a fire broke out in East LA today. I have family in Southern CA who are safe but wow......it's very scary. Just be safe everyone!

same....except for maybe Prince. That one got me, too.

WOW! Sounds like fun! I'm going to have to try the Bowling for Crap game at one of my parties. Great idea. And I LOVE Homer Laughlin, too!

That sounds fun! I am late this year....and I have a work trip that I'm leaving for on Sunday and won't be back until very late on Wednesday night. I'm thinking next weekend I'll try and get some Halloween stuff up. I live in a development with 125 residences and we don't have too many children trick or treating. I've been in my house since it was built in '96, and rarely see many kids. That said, kids just don't "play" outside like they used to. They're all inside, playing with their computers....no one is playing outside. I think my development is mostly older couples, like my husband and I, or younger couples with no children yet. The few with children end up going to business areas to trick or treat or they wind up in their neighborhoods they grew up in, with their parents taking their kids out!

You may have seen this over the weekend, as it was on the national news, but it's an update on the homeless woman who sang so beautifully in an LA subway - a story brought to us by @Cupid Stunt https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2019/10/07/viral-homeless-opera-singer-performs-concert-sot-mxp-vpx.hln

Amen. And thank you for this.

I haven't been here for a couple of days due to some long work hours, so am just reading this. I am so very sorry for your loss. Of course, she knew how much you and your husband loved her! Please never, ever doubt that.
