Interesting article. My wife and I were discussing whether females looking too pretty in a job interview would hurt their chances of getting a job if interviewed by another woman. We wondered whether it would actually be better try look uglier! Hard to say. I would hope not.

I find it funny that the "Go Chicago" shirt omits the comma for direct address.

Thank you and ou're very welcome. It is a cheap way to live - better than being homeless.

Well, thank you very much!

Thanks Kate! People worry too much about tipping when they come to the United States. Hopefully this article helps some of them realize you don't have to think too much.

What an interesting article. I'm sure a lot of people who have a big house and mortgage would love a break from the bills and to be able pack up and move whenever they want a change of scenery. And like you say, people living in campers wish for the option to lay down some roots, figuratively but also literally by planting a garden.
Where I'm from, in New Zealand, campers are almost 100% used for holidays, so the camper living phenomenon here in the States has been interesting to see. Thanks for sharing this insight.

Great article Lil. I'm going to take a look at your blog.

Precisely! Mind you, I tend to look at all history as a series of biographies. In Welsh, we call history 'hanes', which translates as 'stories'. :)

Love it, love it!! That's why I love biographies. I guess you can't separate them out from history.

It is incredible but many adults are buying these collectible minifigs. I guess that we never grow up really. I remember the Beanies but I was never a Trekkie although my son loved Star Trek. He also liked Skelator and He-Man figures but they are long gone now. Thank you Jean for your interesting comments. I think Batman for boys and Lego friends for girls are the toys for Christmas this year.

I think this works both ways. Attractive people often do get a better deal, but attractive women are often not taken seriously. I think we all need to evaluate how we treat other people. People should never be judged either positively or negatively based on their looks. What is attractive and what is not is also a subjective thing. Media often promotes certain characteristics as positive and others as negative, but this is simply not fair. We are all created to be who we are. When you really love someone, they look good to you!

These are beautiful, Digby! Thanks for introducing us to these Made in America glass ornaments. It's always good to buy local and support local artisans.

Boy have you got that right. It is even more difficult to accurate diagnose in children and my young grandchild has it along with ADHD and a high intelligence rating. Poor kid. I'm glad you were finally diagnosed because it can be very hard to live with, as I'm sure you know.

Your pages are beautifully designed. You know I'm a big fan of beach weddings. We love the beach, sand, sun and water it is all as good as it gets, for me and mine. Great ideas for a beach wedding, thanks :)K

2uesday, That's a really good love is... :)
