Before my husband passed away, if we argued, each person had an opportunity to have their say. Then either the argument came to a conclusion, or we agreed to disagree and then moved on. If it was a full on fight, we usually ended up "Not speaking". This could be for hours or even days, however, there were rules we put in place early in the relationship. We never left the house or went to bed without a kiss , we were civil in front of the kids (So they didn't know we weren't talking) and we spoke if it was necessary, like telling the person food was ready, or they were wanted on the phone. When we were ready to talk and move on, we would ask, "Are we okay?". If the other person was ready to move on they would answer "Yes.", other wise they might answer "Yes, but I am still angry". This let the person asking the question know the other needed a bit more time. The person who asked the question was free to talk to the other, but it would be a bit longer before the other person would be instigating conversations. This worked well for 30 years of marriage.

YESSS about letting the kids read whatever they WANT to read! My son who LOVED reading (was reading HP in 2nd and 3rd grade) was in the advanced program for 4th grade and his teacher told hin that he needed to be challenging himself when reading and she wouldn't accept books below his reading level as counting for his homework anymore. It ruined his love for reading and we are still trying to get it back. I'm still mad about it. For the record, we didn't enforce that and said read whatever you want, but one 'influential' adult telling him no to books he enjoyed took away the enjoyment of reading.

2 things- 1-As a Lit Specialist ANYTHING THEY WANT TO READ love this!!! Wish more folks understood this. Reading is reading. I don't pick up a physics book for pleasure, but I have friends who would. Let kids read what they like to read. And also- I listen to books too and again LITERACY SPECIALIST WHO LOVE TO READ LISTENS TO AUDIBLE. 2-I thought I was the only one who was on a budget as a kid in the 80's. Please share more about your childhood experiences with frugality (as comfortable obvi). I really grew up feeling like my mom and I were the only ones counting pennies, cause "80's of excess" was the be all end all vibe in my area.

my best tip for not ordering take out, if you have kids that's usually why you'd order take out, your tired you don't wanna cook, if your alone you would just have bread or whatever and be fine but you feel like the kids need FOOD. always always always have a ready made freezer pizza, i know it's not the best, it's not always cheap but it's cheaper! it's no muss, easier than take out

My daughter and her friend went to big bend feb 2022. They throughly enjoyed it but it is very, very remote. There's no cell service at all in the vast majority of the park. She wasn't aware of it and I got a bit panicked because I couldn't get ahold of her for several days. She and her brother have iphones so he finally got in touch and let me know what was going on with cell service. They had a great time but underestimated how cold it gets in the desert at night.

Hi, Christine. Long-time follower here, have always enjoyed your content. I wonder if you could do a video on what you would do if you became a parent and bought a house today. We bought our home in 2021, when rates really began to skyrocket. Parents to 2 littles, I'm a homeschool mom, husband works in hvac. Basically it would be really nice to hear a creator such as yourself talk about how difficult it is for young families right now, and maybe give some words of encouragement.

I just read an article that a Walmart in Ottawa, Ontario has removed the self checkout as a test run and only have cashiers but not stipulating as to why.

Best day for markdowns is the day before a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas. Even though it is all turkeys and hams, the meat dept. has to keep the counter full, so steaks and chops and other "non-holiday" related items are often priced to move really quickly. Rib steaks for Thanksgiving, anyone?

There's a connection, according to the flight scheduler. From Midland it is about 195 miles (3 hours) to the entrance of Big Bend.

I absolutely do not like that several stores are doing more self checkouts! My Aldis literally ripped out all the check outs with cashiers and only left ONE.

Actually if you have autoimmune disease you DO need them. And unfortunately many people in our country do have autoimmune issues. Also I've solved a lot of issues with supplements that other people solve by going to the dr and taking a drug. Supplements are a very good idea. ❤

@antiantipoda 11 ай бұрын

@@dianasimplifies I am skeptical of supplements as treatment for any disease. Let me explain why: 1) The label says: 200 mg of whatever, it is unregulated, so you could be getting 200mg, 100mg or 1000 mg. That there is bad enough. 2) The label says the active ingredient is x, it could be, it could also be y, or y, z and ephedrine. 3) Placebo effect. Doing something that you believe will make you feel better, can make you feel better. This can be great, if what you believe is safe and stable, but can bias your perception, since you are doing an uncontrolled study with only one patient: you. 4) Most autoimmune diseases change by themselves. Say psoriasis, it gets worse and gets better even if you do nothing. You just have to survive the worst phase. Another chance for bias. 5) Natural does not mean safe. There are many plants that are poisonous, also minerals. Some are used as medicine, like the lithium I take every day. Lithium can be great for treating bipolar, but in an overdose it is one of the worst ways not to die. If you survive an overdose of lithium, you can have neurological deficits for the rest of your life, never mind the other organ damage. My dose of lithium is monitored by blood tests. It is not only how much I take, it is how much is available in the blood stream and this changes person to person. That is why I think no healthy person should take supplements and most sick persons shouldn't either. Sorry for the essay, I guess I had many points to make.
