Here at our home, our basketball hoop, cones, chalk balls and trampoline are things that we allow other kids to use with a “play at your own risk” mentality, which we’ve shared with parents. However, the things that are unsafe, or things that we don’t want used, we keep in our garage. For example, we have an electric powered quad and when a kid does ask to use it, I ask them to grab their helmet and have their parent with them.

Write out a sincere message. Here’s a start: “Dear Friend, I’m sending this postcard from my couch, where I seem to have spent the last year or so. I am so sorry that I seem to have fallen off the edge of the world, but I am emerging now. I hope you will forgive me for not being in touch, and I am crossing my fingers that you’ll still take my calls, so we can resume where we left off.

Masuku One: This product is the result of a yearslong process that began before COVID-19, to make a light, breathable mask. It hits all the marks: comfort, style, breathability and sustainability. It’s amazing, and the best we have tried. The plastic shell makes it sit off the face, and it’s feather light to enhance comfort, along with adjustable ear straps you barely notice, yet the mask seals. It’s also sized for bigger or smaller faces. About $50, $15 for a pack of 10 filters

The three of us were communicating on a group text, but on the second day of the trip she said, “Oh, Rob just texted me,” but when I looked at my phone, I didn’t see a text, so I asked him why he sent a text to her alone, instead of using the group text.

Another big reason to be concerned about ailanthus is a looming insect threat. Tree of heaven is the favored host for spotted lanternfly, a voracious sap-sucking Asian insect already found in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia.

So, I’d have to toss this back to you, suggesting that you might frame your longings less as “complaints” posed to your wife, and more as your sincere yearning to continue to be with her in an intimate and private adult relationship, while transitioning to what can be an extremely fulfilling role as parents and partners – together.

The female locates and stings a large insect such as a cicada or katydid and then brings it back to the burrow. She places the insect into a chamber and lays an egg on it; sometimes she puts two in a burrow but lays an egg on only one. She then covers the burrow, digs another, and repeats the process.

However, friends are a little different. Your friends should know your preferences and try to include you, so if you feel like every single hangout is centered around alcohol, you should politely bring it up and suggest you change it up a few times. You shouldn’t be the one always compromising your comfort and preferences for the sake of the group — friendships are about give-and-take, and about being around people who you share values with.
