Second-Listen Saturday: Milestones for Adults

3/25/2023

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from July 2019.
​
We talk about this survey of major milestones, and question how big of a milestone "learn how to iron" really is. Along the way, we get a peek at some of our dark secrets (like the real reason Terri learned how to ride a bike, and the anti-vampire dinner party Catherine held).

Here We Go Again: Old-Timey Technology

3/24/2023

0 Comments

 
With Nicole dealing with the aftermath of the Lily Collins Facebook hack, we're taking the week off to revisit some tech talks, complaints, and obsessions of the past. This discussion is from November 2022. 

​Nicole gave up her landline phones, which got us talking about what tech our households are hanging on to and what we're giving up (and which one of us was a teen princess with her own phone line).

Here We Go Again: Would You Do a Digital Detox?

3/23/2023

0 Comments

 
With Nicole dealing with the aftermath of the Lily Collins Facebook hack, we're taking the week off to revisit some tech talks, complaints, and obsessions of the past. This discussion is from March 2021.

We obsess about Reviews.org's offer of cash in exchange for a digital detox (no phones, TVs, computers, video games, smart devices). We think $2,400 is a pretty nice sum for a 24-hour-long nap.

Here We Go Again: Technology Disappointments

With Nicole dealing with the aftermath of the Lily Collins Facebook hack, we're taking the week off to revisit some tech talks, complaints, and obsessions of the past. This discussion is from way back in September, 2017.
​

On this speed round, we asked: Why do Facebook Messenger, Fitbit, and autocorrect hate us so?

What We’re Watching: Shrinking “Moving Forward” and Brothers and Sisters “Bad News”

3/21/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: We continue to enjoy hanging out with the Shrinking folks, who do seem to be moving forward as this episode's title promises. We'll be sad to see them go after next week's season finale, "Closure." (But we can listen to the show's playlist on Apple Music, and look forward to season 2 at some undisclosed time in the future.)

We do not, however, enjoy hanging out with the Walkers, Harpers, and other Brothers and Sisters characters who are really quite mean to each other in this episode (sometimes they deserve what they're getting, and sometimes they don't). Next: S1 E21, “Grapes of Wrath.” Sounds jolly!

Here We Go Again: Technical Difficulties

3/20/2023

0 Comments

 
With Nicole dealing with the aftermath of the Lily Collins Facebook hack, we're taking the week off to revisit some tech talks, complaints, and obsessions of the past. This discussion is from January 2020.

New phone frustration has us wondering if we're too old to be technically savvy, or if it's technology that needs to do a better job meeting our needs.

0 Comments

 
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

Second-Listen Saturday: Entrepreneurial Kids

3/18/2023

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from July 2019.
​
This article on young people starting businesses led us to ask whether our kids could capitalize on their obsessions. Either we don't have enough imagination, or the market hasn't caught up to their passions just yet.

Roundabout Roundup: Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time,” King Koil Mattress, and Suet Log Bird Feeder

3/17/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri's Country Music Minute brings us Morgan Wallen's latest, "One Thing at a Time." Nicole's resting easy on a new King Koil mattress, and Catherine's becoming a bird-watcher thanks to her suet log bird feeder (although hers is made from an actual log, not a log-like resin like the one linked).
​

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Baby, What’s Your Sign?

3/16/2023

0 Comments

 
An article about kids' astrological signs got us obsessing about whether they matched our own kids' temperaments and behaviors. First, we had to figure out what their signs even were. Mentioned: Starscroll horoscopes.
