I am SO excited to read your post!! Our family does the same thing!! I'm almost 57 and have done this "egg cracking" game my entire life. It's something my grandfather's family did way back in the early 1900's. I have never met anyone who has done this or even heard of it!! It's such a fun and...

My husband put together corned beef, cabbage, potato's, carrots, onions and turnip that simmered in the crock pot all day. It was delicious. I had never had this type of meal until I met him 39 years ago. He grew up having it every St. Patrick's Day. Husband wore a green t-shirt today and I...

I have followed Doms's story here on the Dis for many years. I'm so, so sorry for your loss......

I could have written your response!! Haha!! I grew up eating it on camping trips with my parents too! Also haven't eaten it in decades, probably close to 40 years.

Take politics out of it. You're an animal lover. Would you date someone that refused to even be around dogs, let alone ever own one or live with one? What if their hatred of dogs bordered on possibly being abusive toward animals. Would you be "ridiculously rigid" on saying you have no desire...

This is strange to me. There are SO many reasons a person may not have a passport and traveled. It doesn't mean that if you got together with the person they would refuse to travel. I grew up in the 70s and 80s with parents who took vacations and traveling seriously. By the time I was 13, I had...

This is me as well. We have a place on the lake and during June and July we'll be on our deck or even swimming until sunset or after. By mid to late August the sun sets so much earlier. Always makes me sad. I really don't like the super short days this time of year, but it doesn't make me...

Same here. As far as I know my husband and I have never had it either. We have two grown sons who live on their own and neither of them have ever had it either. They both live with their girlfriends, one girlfriend got it for the first time in September, but my son never got it, which was...

We host a Christmas Eve party for my family. I plan lots of games and makes lots of desserts. We order pizza. This will be our 26th year hosting. It's the BEST night of the year!!

Why in the world did you lock your kids away for TWO YEARS!!! Thats pretty sad that you didn't let them see their friends for TWO years!!

I totally agree, you can certainly find a place to eat that takes credit. I wasn't meaning you would starve if you didn't have cash! I was simply saying there are still lots of places that only take cash. And no, the places that I was referring to did not have card readers, it was cash only...

This is my experience as well. We travel a LOT here in the states and it's probably 50-50 on what's available although there's probably more coin ones then the app or credit card option. This thread and the threads where people say that they haven't used cash in a year (or years) always make me...

Weird about the Boston banks!! We live an hour north of Boston and for almost a year now, our bank limits people to only 2 rolls of quarters at a time! I've been thinking that was weird, but after hearing about your poor kid, I guess I am thankful that I can at least get 2!!

This just sounds bizarre to me! Where the heck is this small apartment building located that the washer and dryers coin boxes were having near daily damage to the point of needing repairs!?! My kids (and niece and nephew) have all lived in apartment buildings and none of them have ever noticed...

I was on Main Street in Concord NH yesterday and put two quarters in a parking meter before I ran into a store!

Both of the ones they go to only use quarters. The one in our town only takes quarters too. We are in NH. We travel a lot throughout the US and it seems 50-50 on what the laundromats take.

My kids are in their 20's and live on their own without their own washer and dryer. For the last couple of years, I have given them rolls of quarters in their stockings. Now they both live with their girlfriends, and since I do stockings for them as well, they get rolls of quarter too! So, 8...

Just the mailman. We live in a small town and our mailbox is in front of our house. If I am outside when he drives up, we will chat and are on a first name basis. He's great! Usually 4-5 times a year, I will call the post office and ask him to set my mail aside so I can pick it up at 10:00 in...

I'm 57 and have sent out 38 cards. We used to send out 60-70 but have cut back a lot. We send a photo card with a family pic of my husband and I, are grown sons and their girlfriends. As of today, we have received 12 cards. Most seem to arrive the week before Christmas. Christmas cards are one...

Such an odd thing to post! What does your daughter (gay or not!) hating Disney have anything at all with the discussion at hand?? Newsflash, lots of people don't care for Disney! I was as confused as you were! Her comment about SeaWorld and Universal in response to the poster she quoted had...
