I totally get this. I always think such endearments are sweet, and I think the younger generations are missing out when they get offended. I grew up hearing my mother call everyone ’honey’ or similar. Now I’m older and have become my mother, always saying ’thank you, dear.’ Older people think nothing of it. Younger people sometimes look surprised, but then they usually smile.
I have a college degree and have never heard of that. It doesn't appear to be anything I'd want to read either. Sounds like psycho-babble. If having read that specific text is the ultimate proof of intelligence, I guess I fail. Gladly.
If you can get them cut, then use a pitch fork to pull them out. Helps you stay a little farther away so they don't snag you as much. I've had to wrestle a few myself when we were up the river.
I agree. That does sound kind of like a "well, duh!" concept. Like the results of so many high-priced government studies.
The supply chain issue has definitely helped provide a nudge for those of us wanting to encourage loved ones to be more prepared.
So going to get a couple of MrBuddy propane heaters. We have been in a holding pattern for a few months due to the move, but we should probably have those.
We didn't lose power. It's sure a damp icy kinda cold out though!Making some bread today, cleaning our shower.
Got some squash from my mom so will work on canning that. Our power went out last night (@LadyLocust did yours too?)
Realized that we didn’t have a way to hook the generator in on this house
I’ll squeeze in a workout in there too.
My daughter is still down with Covid. Feeling a bit better yesterday, but can’t return to school until she has a negative Covid test on the 18th, or it’s a 10 day quarantine.
Have you seen these? There are many videos: I would not do this on a carpeted floorMaking some bread today, cleaning our shower.

and when I did it, I used tealights so they only burn about 4 hrs. It's not a replacement for heat, but easy and certainly does help take the chill off.
Yeah it’s nasty out! Guess we are in the foggy season now. My brother is flying in, and I advised him not to get a local flight because of the fog, they always cancel! He couldn’t believe that’s a thing. Haha! I remember the joys of living where he does and not worrying about the weather, only the heat.
In the little po-dink town where I grew up, there was only a volunteer fire dept. other than if there was a forest fire of course. They were on it like you said any time there was a fire.
We are taking 2 nieces +1 skiing tomorrow. Should be good. Plenty of snow. The only issue is there have been a couple days up near freezing so depending upon if the sun has hit it, it could be crusty in the off pieces but groomers should be fine.
It is taught in psychology classes. I had 3 psych classes in college, and Maslow's theories were taught and discussed there. Maslow's theories show themselves with children in classrooms. A child whose basic needs are not met has difficulty focusing and learning. I have seen it, especially in the inner city, or when not good stuff is happening in homes of children. I imagine children who live in war zones have a more difficult time with education.
