[WWYD - parenting advice on dd10's art]

Ask for another similar "companion" piece. Then only have room for one.

[Is there a way to instill a love of learning when you're 50?]

Honestly, being around people energizes me. I feel that that person died with homeschooling. Like I've been living a shut in life only for my kids. Now that I only one kid home who basically is self-sufficient, I don't feel like I have anything going on personally. I love home improvement, but there's only so much of that I can do at once for $$ reasons. I also love automobiles. I would be best suited to something in sales, but at 50 I don't want tied down to a full time job.

 

I need to pursue something that gives a social person something to talk about. I'm currently a frustrated social person who sits back and lets everyone else talk, because I lack subject matter and confidence.

[Is there a way to instill a love of learning when you're 50?]

I'm 50. I don't think I've ever had a love of learning and now I feel like a dull person. Is there hope for me?

[Rodan and Fields]

Whole line

[If you understand teens, help me out here...]

Good luck. I could only wish for that prob. Both of my boys are clothes horses!

[How would you approach this negotiation? Master negotiators and Wise Women needed!]

I agree with OKBud. I see liability as a concern as well. Possibly land contract the 12 acres now? If they are open to selling in 5 years, perhaps they would do a land contract?

[Rodan and Fields]

Thanks for the heads up on the auto ship! I contacted her and I was on it! She took me off. How can they auto ship such expensive things?

[Rodan and Fields]

Well I ordered it and I'm going to follow through, as a benefit to the girl who is doing it - a fellow homeschool girl going through college. However, I don't plan to reorder. I could use some skin brightening, so hopefully it works. Thanks for your responses.

[Why do some people think they're photographers? (vent)]

I vote "mouth shut." I would imagine she doesn't want to hear it no matter how needed. If she's already hanging her shingle as a pro photographer, she has a certain level of confidence in her work - prob not interested in constructive criticism. I think economics will win in this situation. If no one books, she won't make $, and won't be professional for long.

[Rodan and Fields]

Worth it or no? Just ordered the package that brightens the complexion. Thought it would be approx. $170 and it's much more. I'm struggling here.

[If you are in early/mid 30's- where do you shop - looking for a wardrobe refresher..]

Old navy - I was really surprised!

Banana republic

[Need to buy a tux for DS. Anyone know what the sleeve length is on a 36R coat?]

Just wanted to say check Groupon. I've been seeing ads for skinny tuxes there. Bought both of my boys skinny suits and they were wonderful. I think the tux was like $79

[What was it like having a mother >40 years older than you?(if this was your experience)]

My mom was 35, but she was always "old." She had shampoo and sets for as long as I've known her - that kind of old. Although never diagnosed, I'm sure she had some mental health issues. I was youngest by 14 years. It was not a great childhood. Very isolated and my parents were not very interactive.

 

That being said, I think that could be somewhat just "them." If you are interactive and loving to your children and can enjoy them, I don't think age matters that much.

[Giving away the Rainbow System?]

We used ours then sold it for $800. I vote keep then sell later!

[best breed for emotional support dog given these caveats?]

Our 10 year old Cavalier is free from health problems. Might be an oddity, but she was an impulse buy and we didn't research her breeder, although it was a local backyard breeder rather than a kennel breeder if that makes a difference. Most mellow dog in the world.

[Vehicle Recommendations for Big Family]

My Yukon XL was the car love of my life. That being said, for an arrow garage, what about a Toyota Sequoia? I'd measure though or get specs online and see if you could get a Yukon in there. You won't be disappointed.

[Can't believe I'm doing this but tell me about essential oils internally]

There is a company or two that say this process is ok, but I'm a member of a couple Facebook eo pages who say it is absolutely not safe to do. I tried it once before I knew better and it set off my acid reflux so badly. Do your research.

[Can you recommend capri/ankle pants that you really like?]

Old navy has capris right now that are more tailored. Don't look tight

[What is everyone watching on netflix or prime?]

Longmire. It is awesome. And a full 5 seasons.

Stranger things.

[Could you get your house ready and pack up and move in 5 months?]

We sold our farmhouse, barn and acreage after impulsively buying a home with far less work. We got that farmhouse and barn cleaned out and in the market in one month. ThAt included craigslisting lots of stuff and giving the house a spitshine!!! Also it had tons of landscaping. We did it all ourselves with no hired help. So yes, you can do it.

[Anyone experienced with bad sinus infections?]

I swear, our family has been sick since November. I think we've each been on antibiotics 3x's over the last few months. I have yet (after those months) been able to clear my sinuses. Currently, my ear is plugged and has been for a week. Anyone have any amazing suggestions? Thanks

[Your favorite mattress and why, please?]

Trump mattresses at Sams club are the bomb!

[Need new facial skincare--ideas?]

Would those that use Korean skin care please elaborate as to what reasonable site you use? Thank you

[Anyone do dog agility?]

Ktgrok- what kind of dog?

[I still have not found owner of mystery gift. Now what]

What was the gift?
