As in, this has sadly been the case for millenia

Isn't there a Bible story about this? The old lady giving her last coin while the rich people hardly give anything.

I used to say running was evil. 😂
I started running the year I turned 50.
It helped me lose some menopause weight. I usually end up stopping in the winter, so then I have to build up my endurance every spring / summer. But it does help me keep some weight off.

The funny thing is, I often listen to you guys while I'm running. 😀
I don't love running, but I like the way I feel after. It can be kinda boring, but listening to you guys ( either your Saturday chats, or politics chat, or Joanne's revolutionary war lecture series) makes it much easier.
So thanks!

Not saying you ( or I) are old! But you have been saying that those of us of a certain age need to be showing up. :)

He's starving!!! Poor guy.

Awesome! We went to Boston for this one. I'm so glad you had such a great turnout in Billerica! I hope our Center Cafe "friends" didn't bother you. :)

I just have to buckle up and realize that the current favorite will be a huge part of my life for the foreseeable future. 😂

My profoundly autistic son will have a favorite song, and will find just about every version of that song ever recorded on YouTube. Some past favorites have included Lollipop, Georgie Girl, When Santa got stuck in the Chimney, Ding Dong merrily on High, and so many more.

Nice!
I think we ( me, my husband and my son and daughter) were right by you for a lot of the time. Were you right by the crosswalk over to the library?

We had probably about 200 people in the center of my town. (Billerica MA)

So completely out of touch with the reality of most American households. Smh

Worth it

My sister worked there. That's where she met her husband.
And that's where my husband bought my engagement ring. :)
