Well, since the threads still open, maybe it's a mistake... but I'll still hijack it myself-- to a related topic.

First I must say it was bittersweet re-reading the foregoing posts. I want to know how everyone is now, 10 years on--and too many are not here to answer. Some, permanently. I hope their posts bring a smile.

Second, I wanted to re-answer almost every post, but won't.

THE HIJACK: Life hacks that come to you now in your older age.

Mine:

1. Don't put all your warm, snuggly long underwear in the same wash load until summer.

2. Don't explain anything until asked FMI.

3. Always stand up for the victim-- especially yourself, and without apology.
