Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The "use landmarks that no longer exist" thing is one that I have encountered pretty much every time I move. "You know where the tire store used to be?" No, no I do not.
Legit there is a place in my mother's home village that I grew up hearing referred to as "Where Betty Mraz saw the cougar."
Betty Mraz changed her name at 18 and had not been Betty Mraz for almost two decades by the time I was born. And yet.
A woman I went to college gave birth to her first child two weeks ago. 46. I cannot IMAGINE.
We had Matilda when I was 45, but she didn't kill my sleep the way Emmett did.
Hey, folks. Just a quick check-in; I skipped and skimmed. Hugs and comfort to those who want or need them.
I don't have any entertaining landmark stories, sad to say.
Previous BayCon associates of mine are helping run the Worldcon, but the crowds are already too much for me and the con hasn't even officially started yet.

I echo David.

My mother once gave someone directions that included, "Turn where the tree used to be."
Timelies all!
We're at WorldCon. Mr. S has been a devil child today. With luck, he'll calm down a bit, so the whole weekend isn't like today.
Oh, and Gary and I were 47 when Mr. S was born.
How do you find it, Sheryl? Compared to if you were younger? (Not that I am likely to have any children at 40-whatever, never mind magically having one younger!) I fell like a heck of a lot of my friends had kids in their very late 30s, but don't know too many older with young kids
