Let’s chat! It’s been a while since we had a nice cozy chat. And I am legitimately curious about what people think on these vital issues. I know my opinions, but I don’t know if they are universal or if folks vary.
Continue readingI figure, this is a question we can all answer. And perhaps, hopefully, learn from each other.
Continue readingThis is a very self-centered post. I mean, I want to hear all your alcohol stories too of course. Not the “I got so drunk I threw up in a mailbox” ones, but more the “I never liked beer until my friend got me to try this thing when we were on a trip once” stories. But also, you get to give me advice!
Continue readingCheese! Or, as my nephew calls it, Chiz! It’s delicious, it’s delectable, no one doesn’t like it. Unless someone here doesn’t like it. If you are a cheese hater, Reveal Yourself Now!!!!
Continue readingMy nephew isn’t quite 2 yet, and my sister has already created her own traditional Dad Joke repetraw (sp?). Apparently it comes on you immediately.
Continue readingLet’s take it as a given that we have anxiety and worries and etc. etc. Forget all that! There are three very specific things I have noticed in myself, and am hearing from more of my friends than I would have expected.
Continue readingHappy Day after Mother’s Day! Thinking about mother’s and things has raised some general questions for me that I want to share with the group.
Continue readingAngie was just complaining about a memoir she read that was supposed to be this woman’s real life love story, but it was all dramatized and hyped up. Which made me think about the amazing “truth is stranger than fiction” real life love stories that exist in the world. Let’s share our favorites!
Continue readingWe have been avoiding major divisive issues, but I think it is time to take a firm stand and face our differences. Yes, it is another Food Rules post!!!!
Continue readingI was watching a true crime show which mentioned how this couple couldn’t afford a wedding so they had a big engagement party instead? Which completely confuses me. What’s the difference between a wedding and a big engagement party? Anyway, made me think we should all discuss these Vital Issues.
Continue readingI have a friend who had a really sucky week so, for Friend Movie Night this week, I want to pick something that has really truly NOTHING sad in it. And it’s HARD!!!
Continue readingThanks Miss Braganza for the idea! I love this question! And I suspect many others at DCIB will also love this question.
Continue readingWhat fun! For me! And hopefully also some of you. I’ve been on a minor Christie binge, and I just put up a detailed Christie post, and now I want to just chat.
Continue readingThis is a suggestion from Saira, she used as an example Mansfield Park where it felt like Austen was going to put Henry and the heroine together, and then got bored and rushed the ending and changed it. And I immediately thought of SO MANY OTHERS. Here is a list of mine, feel free to share yours.
Continue readingI’m watching the Farrow vs Allen doc now, and what is so different about it is that it actually directly addresses the art versus artist question. That’s genius, because normally these kind of stories avoid that whole element, and that leaves the audience a bit lost. I think we need to talk about art versus artist more, come up with more tools for ourselves to handle that question.
Continue readingThis came to me as I was making myself dinner last night, and I thought it might be a good general DCIB discussion question. I have THOUGHTS, surely you do as well!
Continue readingSo many questions! Warning, do not read on if you feel faint of heart! Or have a “thing” about feet.
Continue readingHa! “DCIBing”!!! I love it! It’s like “being”, but with DCI in front. If you see what I mean. I may be sleep deprived, I was up late working on my puzzle.
Continue readingLet’s learn about each other! In all the most important ways! That is, the little things that don’t actually matter but we care about deeply.
Continue readingJust want to check in with my DCIB folks, give us a space to share and support each other and say “oh, you do that too? Then I’m not crazy!”
Continue readingWhat a festive discussion topic! In this time of 24 hour Christmas music everywhere, I know there are songs you have gotten absolutely sick of.
Continue readingAnother fun discussion post! Santa Claus! Do you know him? How do you know him? Have you raised your kids to know him?
Continue readingI so enjoyed (and continue to enjoy as more comments come in) our post about friendships and what lasted and what didn’t. I want to do kind of a partner post about another sort of childhood relationship that I have found has lasted into adulthood much more strongly, that “my Mom’s best friend” relationship. Or, in Indian English, your Aunties.
Continue readingHonestly, I’m curious! Angie and I were just talking about the film “June” where our heroine stays close to her group of school friends into adulthood, which was not our experience. I’m interested in learning about other people, are you like me and Angie, or are you like a movie?
Continue readingI feel like we just don’t TALK any more! Also, I am missing my casual office conversations from work. What did you have for lunch?
