Yes, we're definitely planning to scatter history excursions with relaxing or fun plans... I totally agree with your eyes glazing over after awhile.

He sure did. I learned that after seeing the musical, taking an interest in the subject, and learning more. I had never even heard of Phillip Schuyler or any of his children prior to that point. So... to my point... a not-very-historically-accurate musical prompted me to learn about a family I...

That's great news! P.S. Your avatar picture is ON POINT for this discussion! Thank you! I'll check this out for sure.

OP here. It's very true, but I think we do a disservice when we look down too much on movies/musicals//TV series about history, some of which aren't very historically accurate at all. But it doesn't really matter... because something magical happens next. MANY folks who love the Civil War had...

Wow Wow Wow!!!! THANK YOU everyone for your replies!!! Rather than quoting and responding to each of you I've tagged everyone and have responded generally by topic/location. Just know I appreciate all of you who responded! @Praying Colonel @MICKIMINI @Pea-n-Me @NotUrsula @wabbott @wvjules...

My DD13 has recently become interested in the Revolutionary War thanks to the Hamilton musical (love that! 🩷) I'm a history lover myself (more of a Civil War girl) so a little out of my element with the Revolutionary War but excited to start planning! It doesn't need to be Hamilton-specific...

I have a friend that takes a big family vacation to Jekyll Island every year and she has also mentioned the water in the ocean not being very pretty. She said it even looks brown at times. But there are so many other things she enjoys ni guess it's worth it to her!

Loki Met one when volunteering at my kid's Book Fair this month. Poor kid. ☹️

Thank you! The back of mine isn't up to my Dad's standards either. 🙂 He wouldn't have cared though, he just liked for his own projects to be that way. You sound like me with your organizational system - ha! Wanted to tell you that you "unlocked" a memory for me. After you mentioned it being...

Ooooo... yes I have been pulling it a little snug to make sure it doesn't loosen up too much and look deformed I guess? I'll back off and let them be "comfortable". Thank you! How do you "store" your floss? I saw these at the store and now that I'm having the twisting/twirled problem I'm...

Hello there! I cross stitched with my Dad as a kid for a few years and have decided to pick it up again. I bought a pattern book from eBay that is from the 1980s that he owned. Two issues I'm having: (1) The instructions say to use 2 strands of floss for the regular stitches (as opposed to back...

Just wanted to say congratulations on your sobriety! 💕🎉

The only King's Quest we had was the 6th one, where the main character is female (Rosella was her name I think). I LOVED that game so much! (This was in the early to mid-90s). I eventually bought a "cheat" book to figure out how to win, and it was really funny. It was written by Roberta Williams...

I'll definitely check out Dreamlight Valley... that might be a good one! We are actually getting Animal Crossing for the kids for Christmas and DH told me today he thinks I would like it. But if there's a Disney-fied version that sounds even better! Thank you for the recommendation! Oooo... PC...

Hi all! My family has owned a Switch for about a year. Mostly my kids use it and my husband has enjoyed Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I haven't used it much but think I would be more interested in it if I found a game with a Disney theme that would hold an adult's attention. Here's my "wish...

Yes, I did! 😅

Our school dropped masks March 2022, and didn't have a big spike. But TONS of adults I know have gotten COVID this summer, likely because the current strain is so very contagious, so I knew once schools went back the COVID cases would sky rocket. And they sure have. :(

Yep! Daughter was out the entire 2nd week of school with COVID (which was last week). I've got it this week. Our house had gone the entire 2 1/2 years without COVID up to this point but I figured it would get us when school started. I've heard soooo many anecdotal stories of people getting...

Nope. I even got married on Friday the 13th. :)

For anyone who liked Molly on AllEars, you probably know she left AllEars. She recently announced her new YouTube channel which is called Mammoth Club. There's only a couple of videos so far looking forward to seeing future content!
