Donuts are delicious, especially 'oliebollen', which I have made for a school project.

Project your voice, said the acting coach.

Coach accommodations are scarce unless you have reservations.

Reservations were cancelled after an explosion happened next door.

Door decorations like wreaths can be very pretty.

Pretty lights in the sky enchanted villagers until aliens arrived in their flying machines.

Machines used to be easier to fix, but now they are mostly computers.

Computers are expensive, maybe find one at a clearance sale if you need to buy one.

"One" is the big song-and-dance number from 'A Chorus Line.'

Line dancing is dangerous at the retirement village.

Village gossip can be deadly to a reputation.

'Reputation' a debut novel by Lex Croucher, was given to me by a friend at book club.

Club rules, like 'No Food or Drink Allowed" can be strict.

Strict parents can be a blessing or a neverending curse.

Curse book didn't work when I wished hemorrhoids on my former co-workers and boss, or maybe it did, because they sure were a pain.

Pain can be all encompassing or something smaller which tends to nag.

Nag, nag, nag is all my partner does.

"Does this dress make me ......" is not a question to ask your partner, if you don't want to hear his/her/their answer!

Answer when I speak to you is a trap after your mom just said shut up when I'm talking to you.

Situation escalated and now the fire is close to the school.

School is out for the summer, so moms make sure you're fully stocked up with wine or preferably tequila.

Tequila is definitely one answer, but a full-time sleepaway camp benefits both mom and little darling.

Darling toddlers can grow into not so darling teenagers.

Love this 🤣😂🤣😂

Teenagers rarely meet their parents' expectations, but since they know themselves to be perfect, who cares?

Cares thrown in the wind...as I head away on a camping getaway by the river.

River cruise on the rivers of Europe would be one of my great desires.

Desires over necessities is a careless way to live.

Live to die another day.

Day in and day out, the children of the house demanded the same story be read at bedtime.

Bedtime would sometimes start a war at our house with our little darlings.

Darlings can get to be a challenge in the teenage years.

Ideas are good for anyone to have, but one much know how to manipulate them so they develop.

Develop a good command of the English language if you wish to get ahead in business.

Business is a lot more complicated than many think, and it requires many skills.

Skills can be acquired in courses that prepare people for specific kinds of jobs.

Jobs are important, but they shouldn't become your life's obsession.

Obsession with the news and social media, has caused many people to have some struggles mentally.

Mentally and emotionally, to be healthy mentally and emotionally, and to develop an authentic social life, one needs to strictly limit his or her time on the Internet.

Internet addiction is a real thing according to the medical community.

Community politics, especially if there is a HOA to deal with, can be mind-boggling.

Mind-boggling is the word I use when going through any complicated documents like housing, medical, especially insurance.

Insurance sometimes feels like it only works for everything that didn't happen to you when you needed it to work for other things.

Things to consider when planning a trip should be unexpected costs.

Costs should not be measured solely in money.

Costs are rising in many areas, too, so people should plan for that and also make sure they have medical insurance in the country they visit.

"Money doesn't grow on tries" was a saying often heard in my childhood.

Childhood memories are often distorted by adults.

Adults warned the children to get out of the pool because of the approaching storm.

Storms can arise very quickly. People should take care to stay away from trees and power lines if there is high wind.
