Thank you for sharing that @Wellman — what a beautiful and meaningful choice. There really is no setting more powerful or timeless than the world of the Bible. Is there a particular story or moment in Scripture you’d most want to experience firsthand? I imagine that would be an unforgettable...

Thanks so much for sharing that @JoyALorton ! That’s such a thoughtful answer—and how wonderful that Matlock with Kathy Bates ties in so closely with your own experience. Did you enjoy the way the legal world was portrayed in the show compared to real-life law offices? And did anything about the...

Thanks for sharing @Rondareffner — sounds like a pretty easy choice given those two settings! The Aegean Sea definitely has its charm… crystal waters, sun-drenched islands—what’s not to love? Do you remember the name of the movie? And did it inspire any travel dreams or wanderlust while watching it?

Thanks for jumping in @auj327 ! Short and sweet—book wins! Was it a fiction escape or something more factual? I’d love to know what book it was and what made it memorable enough that you'd rather be stuck there than in a show!

Thanks for sharing @ethylenelei ! That’s such a unique answer—The Players is always a great watch, and Ponte Vedra really does look stunning on screen. Are you a regular golf fan, or was this a one-off viewing? And if you were stuck there, would you rather be a spectator or out on the green...

Thanks so much for sharing that @Carol * — what a powerful choice! Angels by Billy Graham is such an inspiring read, and you're right—spending time with angels sounds like a peaceful and uplifting experience. Did reading the book change the way you think about spiritual protection or the unseen...

Thanks for sharing @Arkie98 ! You make a great point—some people do speak so softly these days that it’s hard to tell if they’re talking to you or just thinking out loud! 😄 Choosing rhyming sounds like a fun way to stand out. Do you think you’d get the hang of it quickly, or would you start...

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts @Gayle B. ! It sounds like being clearly heard is really important to you—and I totally get that. It can be frustrating having to repeat yourself or feel like you're being ignored just because you're speaking softly. So would you rather take on the...

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful suggestion @Gayle B. — it really does help! I like your approach of opening the conversation gently and asking for their opinion first. That feels respectful and might help everyone feel heard, without things getting defensive. Hopefully, that kind...

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts @lavender3 — I'm really glad to hear you agree. It should be about enjoying each other’s company, not leaving with a headache from all the tension! Light-hearted chats, laughter, and simply catching up like old friends can be so uplifting, especially...

Sounds like it’s been quite a frustrating GPS journey lately @Hazeleyes ! It’s smart of you to keep a backup plan, and good thinking to call a friend when all else failed. Fingers crossed your new GPS continues to behave, and hopefully reinstalling Waze does the trick. Great that your nephew can...

Thanks for sharing that classic @Butterflies ! That “frozen face” warning definitely made a lot of us behave — at least for a little while! 😄 Did you ever test it out in front of a mirror just to see if it might really happen?

This had me smiling from start to finish — thank you for sharing such a great collection @Gayle B. ! It’s amazing how many of those wild little warnings were passed around like gospel truth. The potatoes-in-the-ears one is a new favorite! 😄 Do you remember which one you believed the longest? And...

That is brilliant — thank you for sharing @debbierey75 ! Your Nana was clearly a master of creative parenting. I love the image of you all quickly covering your foreheads to hide that “black cross” — she must’ve had a hard time keeping a straight face! 😄 And the curly hair trick… did it work...

Thank you for sharing that @Arkie98 — what a classic! That “sore on your tongue” warning really stuck with so many of us. Poor sister — she must’ve been terrified thinking the lie finally caught up with her! 😅 Did she eventually tell your mom what happened, or did she just try to hide it and...

Thanks so much for sharing that memory @bobbibonn — what a mix of adventure, relief, and a touch of old-school discipline! It’s funny how those scary stories stuck with us, even if they weren’t exactly true. Do you think your parents really believed there were open wells out there, or was it...

Thank you for sharing that @terriespell ! It’s amazing how seriously we take those warnings as kids — especially when they come from someone we trust like Mom. I can just picture little you standing at the edge of the waves, terrified of that “giant hole”! 😄 Do you remember what finally...

Thanks for sharing @Gibb — that’s such an important and often overlooked skill! Taking blood pressure manually with a cuff and stethoscope takes real technique and practice. Did you learn it through work in healthcare, or was it something passed down through family or training? I’d love to know...

Thanks so much for jumping in @JrH — and yes, hitting "reply" worked perfectly! Patience is such a powerful skill, and I can only imagine how deeply that was tested and strengthened during your time riding submarines. That kind of discipline and calm under pressure is something many people never...

Thanks for sharing @valyowell — macramé is such a lovely skill to have! It had such a big moment back in the day, and it’s nice to see it making a bit of a comeback in recent years. Did you first learn it during its heyday in the ’70s, or pick it up later on? Do you still have any of your...
