I need to book a multi-city trip from San Francisco to India, India to Ireland, and from Ireland back to San Francisco.

I don't understand why Dublin to San Francisco is showing up as the most expensive leg of the journey.

Edit: Never mind, the internets were gaslighting me.

I can't think of a single thing that would make me look forward to getting up in the morning and doing it

See, I think that is aiming too high. But is there something that, if the opportunity arose and would not involve a pay cut or needing to put on pants and leave the house every day, would make you quit your job and do that instead? As a thought experiment.

I came home from a brisk swim to my leaves raked up (thanks to carpool kids) threw in a load of laundry and then ran over to check on Brian. He broke his foot a couple weeks ago and had surgery to put pins and plates in yesterday. The nerve block wore off this afternoon and the oxy is barely touching the pain. So I took his dog out, fed him and got a shopping list from B (which basically Gatorade and ginger ale because he now dreads trying to get to the bathroom.)

I'll go over and let Jeep out again in the morning, and he's got a friend coming to stay the rest of the weekend. He's gonna be off work until at least the 18th!

Movie reviewer. Maybe book reviewer, but I'm getting tired of reading being my job. If I could make money refinishing and saving old furniture, that would be awesome. Gretchen and I want to open a bookstore (with a proper little tea shop inside, and some resident rescued cats, of course). A bookstore with a furniture shop behind it, I can't think of anything better than that.

Hey, what's a high fiber (as in keep shit moving, but not alarmingly so) but not high calorie tasty snack? Given the amount of opioids he's on, he's going to need it, but he also is unhappy about being sedentary.

Is it acceptable to donate old socks to a homeless shelter? I was culling my sock drawer because I realize I don't actually like most of my socks and have been buying them on automatic instead of being a grown-ass woman and buying the socks I want because of reasons. So I've got lots of socks that are in good repair that I don't want, that I don't want to throw away, and I'd rather send clothing to folks who really need decent clothing and won't get help from the local church. But, socks. Do they fall under "ideally used by only one person" rules?

Socks are one of the most-needed but least-donated items at homeless shelters. I doubt any homeless person would turn down clean, intact, secondhand socks.

Socks are a hugely requested item at a lot of shelters. If they don't t look terribly used, I'd go for it.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

Very donatable, Connie.. Wash 'em and give 'em away.

High -fiber snacks - produce in general: celery, lettuce, most fruits I think..Prune juice is the classic, and it's high sugar, but he can dilute a quarter cup in a cup of water and it's more palatable and effective.

Wheat and rice bran sprinkled on tastier stuff, navy beans (well, some people like 'em), lentils, raspberries and blackberries, green peas and split pea soup, acorn squash, almonds, cauliflower, broccoli, dried figs, pears.
