I have a few traditions with my grandkids that have probably all been mentioned here. I get them advent calendars every year and that's the first gift they open (since it's dec 1st, lol). They do love them, I had to tell my grandson this year that he doesn't need to tell me thank you every...

It was all a bit of a nightmare for me personally. I will never allow myself to be in those specific circumstances again.

I haven’t logged in to the DIS in several months and I’m sorry to hear Don’s health is deteriorating. Dom and all of his loved ones are in my prayers.

I’m not sure the number that would define coming from money but it doesn’t matter, I came from a blue collar family and I know we wouldn’t begin to reach whatever number defines money. Dad was a machinist at a steel factory and mom was a stay at home mom. But my dad was very good with money...

In 2021 I bought at least 14 coupons from hugeoff and every single one of them worked. I only stopped buying them as we had purchased most of what we needed from Lowe's for a while. We're back working on renovations and I intend to purchase more coupons from them. I have not had the first...

I'm very sorry for your loss and all the grief and pain associated with it.

I'm sure I would have been frustrated and would have moved my stuff out of her reach. If pushed far enough I would have asked her to quieten down because I couldn't hear the caller. But it would take me quite a while of misery before I got to that place so I would have just tried hard to...

Working my first job at a fast food place as a teenager, the assistant manager (a girl of 20yrs) and I were closing by ourselves that night. Two men come in and order coffee and sit down for a minute and see the place is deserted ahead of closing time. One of them goes outside and comes back...

I personally feel like giving cash to a panhandler isn't as good a choice in helping the homeless/those in need as giving to an organization devoted to that cause. I think that often you are just supporting an unhealthy, dangerous lifestyle for that individual. Now I only give cash to...

Had to do it for about 2 months or so with a move of a few hundred miles one time. Hated it but needed to work the move out with school schedule and it just had to go down that way. It's been a lot of years but I remember being very lonely and so glad when we were together again.

We tend to do both depending on the year and how soon/badly we want to go on vacation. We decide what kind of vacation we want to take first and then if it's not a deluxe version then we look at the calendar and schedule it since we always save enough in our vacation fund for a yearly value...

My daughter looks a lot like me and I never saw it until she was in her mid twenties. My husband pulled the pics out of his wallet at a family reunion since some of them were very old and family was asking about one of them. He placed a pic of us while we were dating on the table and directly...

After our home was destroyed in a fire three weeks ago we've move in with our daughter. But we have purchased a home about a half block away from her that needs extensive renovations so I guess we'll be here a few months. My parents live one house over from the one we bought as well. Until...

Yes, people are shaking hands in my area, but maybe not quite as quickly/frequently. I think there's a lot of folks like me that no longer offer my hand in greeting (unless I accidentally forget and do it out of habit). That cuts down the number of handshakes considerably. But honestly...

My daughter was always pretty easy going but she did have a bit of a 'less easy going but still pretty chill' period after the birth of her first child. We tried to accommodate all requests but there were probably lots of things we did that frustrated her. Thankfully it all worked out and by...

I really sorry to hear she has passed, my condolences to all her loved ones. It had been a hot minute but user name sounded familiar and then when you mentioned Bill I remembered her trip reports which I loved. I am so sad to hear she has passed, I felt so bad for her when she lost Bill.

Your sleeping through alarms and pounding on doors is exactly why I wouldn't want my teenager to sleep with their door locked in my home. It takes a lot of precious time to wake up some folks (my daughter was one of them) if you can't touch them. I just wouldn't allow that in case of a fire...

FIRE, 100% fire for me. I would have felt that way anyway I know but having just experienced losing our home to a fire in January that there is no way I would I allow a child in my home to sleep with their door locked. Getting out alive and unharmed is often a matter of just a couple minutes...

This totally depends on the type of bedroom doors/hardware you have on those doors. I can guarantee you a 4yr old couldn't kick in the solid wood doors and locking mechanisms in my childhood home. Most likely my dad couldn't have either although he never had a need to try. My thoughts...
