May 29, 2024 at 12:07 pmI was thinking recently that I have missed your link lists! Thank you for bringing them back!
Those BBQ chicken nachos look amazing, I know I would never make them but I would love to be invited to someones house who makes them for me! Not fishing for an invite here… but I hope they turn out as awesome as they look!

I am in perimenopause so I will read literally anything about that topic!
San

May 30, 2024 at 9:51 amAs someone who is childless in my 40s, I have to say that I do worry that I have somehow let the human race down by not having a child. But then I think about global warming, non-stop wars, and how basic human rights are being eroded daily in this world and then I think that maybe it’s okay. There are more people on the planet than ever before and the carrying capacity of the planet is limited and my choices are okay. But it’s hard to know if any decision you make in this modern world is really okay, isn’t it?
San
May 31, 2024 at 3:14 pmWell, you’re right about all this, Egnie…. I have had a lot of the same thoughts over the years.

May 31, 2024 at 7:28 amI like looking at paper maps, but not ones on a phone screen. I want to try the updated pea salad recipe. I remember it from when I was a child and this new one looks better. Thanks for the link.
San
May 31, 2024 at 3:15 pmI never had a pea salad in my life, but it sounds delicious :)

May 31, 2024 at 1:06 pmI use apple notes quite a bit so the article with tips was interesting/helpful. Phil and I have a shared note with our grocery shopping list and it is so helpful for both of us to be able to add things at any time. It makes it far more of a “shared” task whereas before I managed the list.
Menopause is still a bit of a ways off for me but I’m reading about it in preparation. I really like the substack by Emily Oster called “Hot Flash” – it’s written by an endocrinologist. The content is very good and very readable/boiled down to what you need to know!
San
May 31, 2024 at 3:15 pmOh yay, I am glad the link was helpful. I think it’s great that you’re sharing notes with Phil – I have to get Jon to do that :)
And thanks for the podcast recommendation.

June 1, 2024 at 1:46 amOhhhh so many good links.
I pinned the pea salad. and you already know I am intrigued by the ice cream. I think I do those this summer.
I think I do almost all of the ten tips on saving money. Been very frugal this year.
The 40 childless article was interesting. I had no idea what freezing eggs included pre and post treatment.

June 20, 2024 at 3:57 pmLove your link lists even though I am so horribly behind. They’re still applicable! The post on being childless, of course, resonates with me. As did the one on the 10 rules of being human. I read that book years ago – super-quick read – and had forgotten some of them. To my detriment of course. Thank you, my friend. <3
