Why not go all in & make it a baseball free zone?
Random man advice.
Trader Joes and even the Walmart Marketplace have inexpensive flower bouquets just inside the front door. Wife never shops at either place and is yet to figure out my flower secrets that I leave on the kitchen table for her on occasion.
If you travel outside the country (Mexico for ex) and as I did and got a stomach bug the day I flew back, its probably some legit stuff. Don't wait 5 days to decide you need to see the Dr. Go immediately. Personal experience from this week. Travelers flu is a 7-10 day ordeal of bad poops and gut aches.
I took the "owning 2 pairs of shoes" plunge recent. High dollar new balance for good foot support I need, and medium priced 2nd pair. Rotating them each day is supposed to prevent the feet stinks, as they get a day long break and sweat causing bacteria won't build up in the shoe. So far so good.
We’ll, now we can go see Erik if we get montezumas revenge in Mexico.
What does any of this have to do with whether I'd move to Tuscany with Diane Lane if I have the chance?
Just go for it, man. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
Our SIL is April, with a birthday in April. I have a friend named June, but her birthday is in the fall.
just as clarification, this was a FB friend who did the baby naming. I saw that today and made a Mckayla Maroney face. It certainly seems like those early 20th century names are back in style. Theodore, Esther, June..........I've made a few suggestions to DH on girl names and he's like no, no old lady names. So apparently I've caught a bit of that trend. But for real, there's one old lady name I like and it's a family name I've always liked. So he can suck it.
My youngest niece was born in May, and her middle name is "Mae". There is a possibility that's also a family name, though, on my SILs side.
Have another family member by marriage with the middle name of June, but a December birthday. I have a strong feeling, though, that the middle name might be in homage to a set of family members.
One granddaughter was born in September, and is named Autumn.
As for old-lady names, some friends named their daughter (almost three now) Eleanor. They call her "E".

It's mostly the Tuscany thing although Italy is going fascist again so I think I'll move on.
My current celebrity crush is Heather Storm.
In all seriousnrss, Chaser, just realized this is "your" thread...soo...I'll attempt to tone down the talk about the 2016 World Series Champions.
I had to say it. Had to.
"Old lady" names are making a comeback...Rose, Hazel, Violet. Eleanor, and its various spellings, can be shortened to Ellie if wanted. I have a feeling, though, Ethel, Minnie, and Vera aren't going to be making a comeback anytime soon.
I don't know how Violet and Eleanor didn't come straight to mind. Seeing a lot of those right now and other flowery/nature type ones - Wren, Hazel, Rose, Poppy, Marigold.

If I ever had girls (I think it’s safe to say at this point I’m safe from it not happening) I always liked Sophia or Julia. Are those old people names?
Also, no middle names. Just first and last. My last name is plenty uncommon enough, there’s no need for a middle name.

We would have used Sophia for our first if a niece didn't have the name already.
There was an Eleanor in the youngest’s preschool class. Also just met a Matilda at a softball game this week, she was four.
I've always liked the name Sophia but DH is a no. Think it's a very pretty name and not old ladyish.
Well if they win another one in the next 100 years or so maybe we can talk.In all seriousnrss, Chaser, just realized this is "your" thread...soo...I'll attempt to tone down the talk about the 2016 World Series Champions.
