And I love that Mr. and Mrs. Pickle bring a bit of humor to your morning! Do you read the comics first, or save them for last as a treat? And do you have...

    Thank you for sharing @NIBOR0 — that sounds like a lovely, calming Sunday routine. There’s something so comforting about chatting with your mom and then unwinding with the gentle narration of David Attenborough. He really does have a wonderfully soothing voice! Do you have a favorite series of...

    Welcome to The TGV community @Shaunaro1 ! Wow, what an incredible story—thank you so much for sharing it with us! It must’ve been such a whirlwind of emotions to discover a brother after all those years, and how touching that you recognized your father’s voice in his. Family surprises like that...

    Thanks for sharing that @bdebonte — reading backwards sounds both odd and impressive! 😄 I had to pause and think — do you mean reading words from right to left, or actually decoding full sentences backwards? Either way, I’m intrigued! How did you discover you could do that?

    That’s fantastic — thanks for sharing @1bigbill1 ! I love that you taught yourself how to cook. Was there a particular dish that kicked things off for you, or did you just start experimenting bit by bit?

    Thanks for sharing that @tyedyed — I actually had to Google what Gregg Shorthand is, and I found it fascinating! ✍️ It sounds like such a precise and clever skill. Do you still find yourself using it now and then, or has it become more of a fun thing to look back on?

    Thanks for sharing that @ghandi44 — teaching yourself to drive a stick shift is no small feat! 🚗💪 Did you learn out of necessity, or just for the fun of mastering it? Have you had a chance to use that skill lately, or has it become one of those “just in case” talents?

    Front Porch Forum: "A Caring Neighbor" (07/10/2025)

    Thanks so much for your input @Arkie98 . Calling the police for a welfare check can feel like a big step, but in a situation like this, it’s absolutely the right thing to consider. Explaining what you’ve observed — like the uncollected mail and the change in routine — can help them assess the...

    Front Porch Forum: "A Caring Neighbor" (07/10/2025)

    Thank you for your thoughtful response @angib55 . I agree — sometimes a simple knock or quick check can make all the difference. And if there’s still concern after that, a welfare check is a caring and sensible next step. It’s always better to be safe than to regret not acting, especially when...

    Front Porch Forum: "Just Want My Coffee Back" (06/26/2025)

    Thanks for sharing how you handle it @Carol * — sometimes a simple, calm boundary really is the best approach. It’s great that you’re able to excuse yourself rather than let it escalate. Have you ever had a friend follow up with you afterwards about why you left, or did they take the hint?

    Oh wow — that does sound brutal. Humidity can make everything feel so much worse, especially when the energy company is cutting back and you can’t cool down properly. That must be incredibly frustrating. I hope you're finding small ways to stay comfortable, even if it’s just with a fan, cold...

    Thank you for sharing that @Carol * — I’m really sorry to hear about the rift with your son. That must be incredibly painful. 💔 It’s so true though: politics can be such a divisive topic, even among the people we care about most. Setting a clear boundary like “no politics” during social...
