   My sister (22 months younger than me) and I are different as night and day. We never could stand each other and the one thing we ever both agreed on was we each had 1 child so they never had to suffer with siblings. Our mom bugged us both – well into adulthood – about having more to do with each other. My sister’s idea of a relationship is “I get to treat you like dirt and you have to love me in spite of it”. Finally I told mom “I didn’t get you pregnant. Why should she be my problem?”. Mom finally backed off. Sharing dna is no reason to have toxic relatives in your life.

   If you think of ‘customer service’ as serving customers, and think about everyone who depends on tips to make ends meet, I think it means people should be paid enough so that they don’t have to rely on tips.

   Our son was in gifted programs in school. It’s not always all that great a thing. He still had to fight a lot of boredom in class, because gifted or not, the class travels at the speed of the slowest student. It’s better if you don’t allow schools/programs to limit what your kid learns. People don’t seem to realize that school is not the only source of learning and the world is a much bigger place outside of school. I told our son, you have to do your homework and get the boring stuff done – and then we can go have fun and learn about anything you want. We build catapults, and rockets, and visited museums, and read a lot of books.He’s an electrical engineer now, has a great job and is working on his Phd.

   I have a rabbit nest under my rosemary bush every year. The baby bunnies are so cute! But we also have enough predators around (hawks, eagles, foxes, etc) that it keeps the rabbits in balance. Otherwise we’d be hip deep in them.

   Hair color changes over time. Grandpa is white now, but in his youth he might have been any color.

   Something similar happened to my sister once.We we’re visiting friends at a camp ground and Mom told us to keep our shoes dry before we went exploring.Of course there was a stream – so we took our shoes off to go wading.Well, sister fell in and got completely soaked.She was worried about what Mom would say – but Mom burst out laughing.While everything else was wet, Sis’s shoes were dry!

   My son use to do that.Once I told him it was nap time and he said “No nap”. I said fine but it’s not for you, the nap time is for me. If you can be quiet, you can stay with me otherwise you can keep playing in the living room. Well he hated being alone anywhere so he came with me, stayed quiet, and he fell asleep anyway and we both had a good nap.

    My mom did that. Everybody that came to her yard got fed. There was a flip top bird feeder on a tree that you could watch from a bedroom window. When the weather was snowy and the feeder was half full, a young raccoon flipped up the top and decided to eat in comfort by climbing inside of the feeder. It was so cute to see! Raccoons are very clever.
