I would have assumed what she meant was something like holding door open was not necessary but thanks unless her tone or body language indicated otherwise. I’m in South and before I got weak and sick, I would hold door open for frail people, people carrying kids or people carrying armload of things.

Greensleeves / What Child is This

I’m showing my age here. George Carlin, David Cross (he did standup prior to acting) and Bill Hicks who died in his early 30s from pancreatic cancer. Not familiar with all the current comics, but like Marc Maron, Dave Chapelle, Neil Brennan, John Mulaney and Kathleen Madigan. Also like Nate Bargatze.

No, you should not call cops. They presumably are adults putting only themselves at risk and not anyone else.

Melatonin produces no discernible sleepiness or relaxation for me; I may as well take a placebo. Benadryl and trazadone and other prescription sleep meds do nothing for me, but trazadone does make me vomit.

It can be really rough at times, but it does relieve me of the stress about my insomnia.

No.

When my daughter and I went on a reduced carb eating plan, I noticed that my body felt cooler, and the hot flashes subsided.

I do not have a driveway alarm nor do I have a home security system, car alarm, dash cam or a gun.

No pool and got rid of hot tub years ago. We close our bedroom door prior to having sex. All our kids understand that a closed door means we’re sleeping, showering, dressing or having sex.

Yes, she still has key and walks in. If it is a planned event such as dinner party, then I know she is joining us.

My local adult child is welcome in my home anytime with no advance notification. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

No.

My neurodivergent adult son found janitorial work to be tolerable.

I’ve served sliced apples with Rainforest brand crackers spread with cream cheese. You can freeze the cream cheese; just remember to thaw in time for guests. My grocery stocks frozen baguette bread. Pita crackers will keep for months and are good with hummus. You could also do a mini charcuterie board.
