Interstate driver types and my conundrum
annandatje replied to Indigo Blue's topic in The Chat Board
I do not avoid the expressways since they typically are fastest routes for longer distances. I am a 3 out of necessity in my city which has large amount of aggressive drivers. National statistics back up my statement. When I am in different areas such as PNW where drivers are generally reasonable , I try to remember to revert back to type 2 driving. If I don’t, the PNW drivers will remind me 😃. -
We drove to totality and it was worth it.
annandatje replied to Harriet Vane's topic in The Chat Board
We drove from our Southern city to Jonesboro, Arkansas for totality. It was totally worth it, but the trip home was a nightmare in all directions. -

Controversial topic: is "Fast Car" a girl song or not?
annandatje replied to SKL's topic in The Chat Board
Typically I do not think of songs as having genders. Reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen and Woody Guthrie songs/poems about struggles faced by lower working class. Always liked her music. -
I think we can safely assume that most board members know that, statistically speaking, pregnant women are more likely to be murdered or abused by partners than non-pregnant women are. To simply consider possible alternative explanations doesn’t equate to bizarre possibilities or to trolling. I have not seen anyone here claim that he was innocent. Instead, they want to learn if there is any merit to recently announced evidence because they know that convictions in highly emotional and circumstantial cases tend to be the cases that result in wrongful convictions.

It is not uncommon for scoundrels to claim wife has died to garner sympathy in hopes of getting sex from new woman. When my sister divorced, her former beau who was a university professor in another state, told her his wife had died. A quick google search showed that she was alive and well and working as professor at same university. Friends and acquaintances have had same or similar experiences in online dating. If Peterson is not guilty, he is one of the unluckiest people alive.

Medical people……Trazodone for insomnia? Update
annandatje replied to Indigo Blue's topic in The Chat Board
I have had problems falling asleep my whole life. My doctor prescribed Trazadone for sleep. My body couldn’t tolerate the nausea and vomiting it caused. Ambien didn’t help me either. Decades ago I decided to treat my insomnia by getting up for day if I could not fall back to sleep in 1 1/2 hours and start my day even if that meant arriving at work at 4 am. Usually the next night I could get a decent night’s sleep. This freed me of anxiety about insufficient sleep. I never got sleepy easily like normal people do. After the fails at rx meds, I reverted back to way had previously dealt with insomnia. -
Lume advertisements….UPDATE in first post
annandatje replied to Indigo Blue's topic in The Chat Board
What changes to Lume deodorant advertisement would make people comfortable with ad? Saying “between buttocks “ or “anus?” Not sure how one could describe the product without specifically stating that it can be used anywhere including butt. -
We don’t kill beetles either, but I would have offered to relocate it for you.

I took two doses, both of which made me vomit. Discontinued using. Tested positive for three weeks. Husband able to tolerate paxlovid. He got a negative test result in less than two weeks.

What age would you let a child attend a funeral for a distant relative?
annandatje replied to Katy's topic in The Chat Board
When the child wants to attend funeral is when he should. Of course, talk with him about what to expect and how to conduct himself. -
Has anyone actually ever had anchovies on pizza?
annandatje replied to saraha's topic in The Chat Board
Yes, I have had anchovies in pizza, but my preference is vegetables-only pizza. -
We never had tradition of giving Christmas themed pajamas. We tend not to buy items meant for certain occasions in favor of multi use items. Nowadays since kids are grown, we do a very scaled down Christmas with no gifts except one or two small items in stockings. I don’t miss all the manual labor associated with big celebrations. Prefer to have plenty of time for conversation, going places and watching movies together.

I think I will find I am outlier here because I find it considerably weird to message a total stranger even if they are a classmate and even weirder to question her very ordinary reply to you I suppose I am in some ways a product of my time. I think you were spot on re unpacking your baggage to determine why her response resulted in visceral reaction from you. Being rational and reserved to almost a fault, I dot not use terms of endearment but choose to not be bothered by them unless used as a weapon.

I tested positive for three weeks but had residual fatigue.

Husband should rescind invitations and briefly explain why. Expect some to be annoyed and some to take it in stride. Husband should then take his dad on trip alone. Your husband was trying to do something nice but details got out of hand.

Adult working children living at home
annandatje replied to prairiewindmomma's topic in The Chat Board
My daughter and her fiancé and sweet cat moved in with us since they are going to grad school. We do not charge rent since our financial situation is adequate. We live downstairs and they have the upstairs but also have use of kitchen and laundry room. Setting ground rules was not needed since both are relatively mature and responsible. All of us are introverts so we don’t mingle much but we do love and value each other. It is nice to have other adults in house in case of emergencies or for pet sitting when we go out of town.
