Dreams at Midlife
Do you think it is necessary to have hopeful dreams for the future in order to be happy? Do you have any such dreams? I am curious since most people here are in some zone of midlife - surely no more than halfway through - but at least in the middle, right? And I was listening to someone talking abou...

Re: Live the Kyle Way™
Ok, I am taking your advice and making myself a favorite dinner. One kid had a concert and the other kids gave me plants. So all in all I would say that is the best way, and then I can just treat it as a holiday for my own mother, primarily. Kids have to call their other grandmas, aunts, etc.

Re: I quit political parties and so should you
I have never seen the appeal of parties, although I did temporarily register for one for a few months when I lived in a place that was holding a caucus, as I'd never seen a caucus and wanted to experience it. It was awful! So that was the end of my brief dalliance with parties.
