    costco had a sharing program that is gone too. for months now they have everyone sign in with their costco card as they enter the store. there is now an earlier hour of shopping for executive members. its an extra perk for those who pay for that level of membership, which we do. we buy...

    rode the trail today for `15 miles and 75 minutes. Carolyn to me this sounds like a second address is not going to be included in free shipping. your kids if they don't live at the same physical address, friends, etc. this was the AI response but it is what Ive read elsewhere. maybe I'm...

    Carolyn I'm not 100% sure about what I read either. I could be totally wrong but ive read at least two articles about it, and it sounded to me like there would be charges in about a year if you ordered something sent to a different address than your own. these were not long...

    Carolyn its ugly looking and hazy but does not smell smoky. still, air quality is not very good. its much worse in eastern WA. the weather is supposed to change tomorrow and to onshore flow that will help clear it somewhat. this seems to be what summer is going to be forever now. a...

    my mother was 60ish before she had to drive. father was about 11 yrs older. she drove to medical appointments and groceries using side streets and with my father in the car it probably was not pleasant. she was an awful, hesitant driver. i have no clue how she passed the drivers test...

    when our house was built we were in a tearing hurry to get out of the house we were living in. it was our fault we did not see the kitchen problems. the builder messed up too. he planned a kitchen island and one of those awful grill/cooktops right in the center of it. I said "no" as soon...

    cathy everything that fell off the shelf hit my head in one piece but bounced off and hit the countertop or floor. totally smashed then. I dont remember brushing against the upper shelf but i had dishes for the second shelf so probably that's what triggered it. just one of those things...

    Carolyn I know I'm being a wimpy whiner but i hate being too hot. the humidity is very low too so i know discomfort index could be much much worse. the low humidity amps up the fire risk. I know many people would hate 45 degrees and drizzling but I'm fine with that. actually I like...

    Diane sue that describes the position well. yes, lying on your stomach with face in a cushion with an opening. I cant see what's going on which is probably good. the first times i had this done was before my back surgery. it didnt help but very briefly. like a couple days. this is the...

    we rode a good part of our normal road ride this morning. 10 miles instead of 15 with extra breaks. DH did fine although he said his quads felt like it was the first ride of the season. we took and hour and 15 min to do it. it was windier than usual and for the first ride, we didnt want...
