Large group home for elders, who happened to be women

I’m looking for an article from two or three years ago about a group of single, retired women sharing a large home, more like a big lodge, and kitchen. They had a cook, or maybe two and it might have been a faith-based community. I think it was somewhere on the east coast. [more inside]

Where should we stay in Paris?

I'll be in Paris with my sister from June 13-16 and we're trying to figure out where we should stay. I think we prefer to stay in a hotel, as these seem to be cheaper and more convenient than AirBnbs. I'd like to be near lots of vintage and thrift stores, but also boutiques that sell unique or artisan clothing and accessories. What neighborhoods would be best for this type of shopping? We'll be doing some cultural things and just hanging out in cafes, too, so bonus points for that kind of thing nearby.

You're single and you own a house. How do you make it weird?

Pop quiz, hotshot. You own a house. There's not really a yard to speak of. No one else has a veto. You can do anything you like with it. You don't care if the house is later listed on sites where people gawk at real estate listings and wonder what on earth the owner was thinking. In fact you want to make it weird, like that one video about the tiny house with fold-away furniture. What do you do? [more inside]

Going on antidepressants after years untreated

Seems like I will soon be prescribed an antidepressant. I’d like to hear stories of people who went on an antidepressant after years and years of untreated depression. Not sure what to google to find this. Would be grateful for either your personal experiences or maybe links to other sites. Thank you!

I broke my hand, which made chopping fresh vegetables difficult, and so I stocked up on frozen vegetables. But then I healed more quickly than anticipated! I need to use them up in tasty ways that can handle the texture/moisture differences of frozen. [more inside]

Scone With the Wind

Our new kitchen, for design reasons, has one ‘cupboard’ door that just covers some wall. I want to cover the wall with fake bookends so that when you open the door it looks like a shelf of cook books, but I want joke titles that are puns on classic literature, eg ‘Loaf of Pi’ or ‘Bun day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich’. Ideas, please!

I'm Basically My Friend's Only Friend, Feels Codependent. Advice?

My friend recently moved from City A to City B, and I haven't been to her new place. I steer clear of City B due mainly to crime and traffic, and have been clear with her about this before she even considered moving there. She told me last night that I'm basically her only friend at this point, and feels neglected because I haven't been able to meet up since starting my new (exhausting and busy) job. She works a few hours per week. I'm not interested in being someone's sole support system when they're capable of forming other relationships but are choosing not to. I feel this is an unhealthy dynamic, and am seeking advice in how to manage the situation. [more inside]
