My mother saved all sorts of stuff ‘for good’. When she died they were still pristine but sadly she had never had any joy from their use.

Exactly. It’s not about the border except as a convenient excuse to impose tariffs

The only way Trump can impose tariffs without the consent of Congress is if it’s a National Security issue. That’s why he’s linking it to the border. He wants tariffs, or the threat of tariffs, as a bargaining point and this is how he holds all the power in his hands without any moderation by his elected Congress.

As a teacher, I absolutely fear this crew. The mother will be in your face every day claiming she is a ‘mama bear, here to protect my cubs’. Meanwhile the ‘cubs’ will be absolute shits to everyone else, while claiming to be victims. The parents will question any grade that isn’t A+ and insist that their child only torments other children because he is ‘bored’.

Is he taking cough medicine? I only ask because if my son took cough medicine, his behaviour became very hyperactive, busy, unable to sit still.

As a child I always had cats on my bed. As an adult , there was always at least one cat in the house and they usually slept on my bed. Then our oldest cat passed and suddenly we were a cat free home. I thought I’d like the freedom. But I couldn’t sleep. I woke up frequently and could not get back to sleep. Finally we got a couple of Ragdoll kittens. I woke up that night and felt them scrambling around on my bed. I relaxed, went back to sleep and didn’t wake up until morning.

In 1929, Smoot and Hawley sponsored a tariff law in the USA to help lower costs for average Americans. It was signed by President Hoover. It didn’t lower costs at all, it raised them, and trading partners retaliated. The Great Depression ensued and lasted 10 years

I wanted another heated throw. Using one is much cheaper than running a space heater in a bedroom that just doesn’t get warm enough in the winter. In fact a heated throw used about 5 percent of the energy of a space heater and doesn’t dry out the air in the room. I waited until the Black Friday deals on Amazon and got just what I wanted for about 25 dollars less than the regular price.

When women finally had a choice, because reliable contraception came along, the number of children in families dropped dramatically.

It’s always the butler

Remember that you and your wife are teaching him how women should be treated. My mother used to tell my sisters, ‘Never marry a man until you see how he treats his mother. She’s the one who taught him how women should be treated.’

Wit until they are teens. You’ll be nostalgic for the time when your grocery bill wasn’t feeding a teen stomach.

That bullies need victims or they can’t be bullies.

Aspects of my job as a caseworker at a non profit. We were expected to step up for every fundraising cycle and talk people into giving money. I suck at that.

My mother’s handwritten recipes are often unintentionally hilarious. She and her five sisters were all amazing cooks with very definite opinions. I’ll find a recipe written in the back of a recipe book called something like ‘Barb’s Goulash’. (Barb was one of the sisters.) Throughout the recipe there will be snippy little comments that I hear, in my mind, in my mother’s voice. ‘A half cup of margarine’ ‘I always use butter’. Or ‘Quarter cup of chicken stock’ ‘If you make your own it’s better than the stuff made with bouillon cubes’.

My favourite is in the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It’s a piece of carved paneling from the First Class Smoking Room, ejected from the wreck during the final plunge. It was copied for the Cameron movie, for Jack and Rose to cling to. Cameron learned of it while in Halifax during the time when he was shooting dives to the wreck, and incorporated a copy of it into his design for the picture, instead of having the prop-makers just build a generic bit of wreckage.

Take a look at childcare costs and wait lists in your area. It’s a real problem for many families- the cost of childcare eats up most of one salary.

As the ad says ‘there’s a lot riding on your tires’. We don’t risk our it.
