Agee - that's very nice.

Had no idea what to make for dinner so came in here for suggestions. I was actually going to make a bulk batch of meatballs, so I'm thinking like...

Nice! Your success is motivating; I may have to look into doing this.

How is everyone's Lenten practices going? Going well, I hope.

Seems the weather can't decide if it is going to clear up or be damp and wet, so I'm thinking a cp of chicken and rice soup will be nice should the...

That is some beautiful artwork on those furniture pieces. Not my style, but still beautiful!

Totally amazing! Thanks for posting! I googled some stuff and harmonica notes are created by both breathing in and breathing out, although I...

More tacos as there were enough leftovers.

I know it's not exactly the same thing, but this made me think of the old Peter Principle. Another thanks for the ratio'ed explanation - I had no...

For me, it's not an "or"/"and" issue, but the fact that you have limited the choices to only those two alternatives when there are a multitude of...

Tacos!

Yes, I can see what you are saying and would definitely be upset if what I volunteered for was not what where my efforts ended up.

From what I have personally seen, we aren't "all" interested in doing good; and it seems to be used as a negative by those who aren't interested...

"I'm only a halfway (meaning sincere-but-not-very-good-at-it) Buddhist, not a proper one" is pretty obvious. Wishing you positive progress.

So glad you have come to find your own definition of simple living that works for you. With regards to this: "If you have the capability to reach...

Knew someone who supervised a Senior Shoppers program for a local non-profit. They would shop for the person, deliver the products and would receive...

Work has a employee store for clearance and "damaged" items. I was able to get a new winter coat for $10. (My old, comfy coat has been around for...

Agree. Plus, we each have our own definition of what is a goal and what is a desired goal. I don't expect mine to be the same as anyone else's, but...

Late to this, but so beautiful, Kay! You do exquisite work!

Sliced tomatoes, fresh spinach, and cheese on a homemade sourdough tortilla with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Alan, thank you for the further explanation and making the reference clearer. As for the "anonymous nature of this medium", etc. - I like to say...

"Climate change doesn’t care whether you believe in it or not." Sums things up rather nicely, I think.

I was saying that - in response to Alan saying: "I agree, but only one of those sides is represented here." I didn't understand his "represented"...

LOL! Perfect!

IL, please re-read my post. I'm not asking who needs to step up to "represent" or that anyone HAS to step up.. I'm saying in a forum of this type -...

I'm not sure I understand the "represented" reference. People post or don't post here as they see fit. Can't make someone step up and "represent" if...

Took the extra twice-baked, stuffed potatoes out of the freezer and have them. Easy. :)

I could see putting all this project money directly into enhancing and expanding both existing and new social welfare programs across the country for...

Actually, I think Trump is the one that has to get over it. ;)

While I don't disagree, I do wonder whether any of the money used for this would have made it to, let alone resolve/eliminate those issues. I can't...

I also saw it and totally agree - simply amazing!

I'm sorry that you seem to be breaking under the strain and seem to feel so hopeless. Mask wearing is a reality and just like dealing with the other...

Simplified - to me - 9/11 was an external attack against our government while 1/6 was internal attack to over-throw our government. I think both have...

Actually, the colors were easy to distinguish between as was the snow/ground along the bottom.

Since I stayed in-house all day yesterday, I did this one this one. 500 pieces and only took a couple hours.

True.

I agree about Thoreau and, so far, will not bother reading Walden again. While I agree with and enjoyed the idea behind his exercise, I didn't like...

Made sloppy joe sweet potatoes last night. Turned out really well.

It's the Suprep. First dose 6 pm Sunday and second dose 6:30 am with 10:30 am procedure time. Nothing after midnight, of course.

ROFLOL! I used to watch that show all the time. Too funny.

I start the prep tomorrow and go on Monday for my first one. :(

What a wonderful description! Thanks so much for sharing. Once I'm through with working, I would love to hit the road for a while. Something to...

Thanks, Tybee. I bookmarked it. The soup turned out really well last night. Have no clue for today.

I have some friends that have let their properties "go native" - absolutely beautiful! All too often, many of the "hybrids" I see look more like...

Thanks for the review. Definitely will see if I can find some recipes.

I've never had one of those although I have toyed with the idea of making my own cauliflower crust. If you don't mind, let me know what you think of...

Oh, Okay! Thanks for explaining and I agree. I tend to do that off and on with tiny houses and decluttering websites. :)

Put some chicken broth in the cp along with some fresh spinach, what was left in a jar of roasted red peppers, and some leftover rice. Should make...

Can I ask why you say this? My first thought is that binge reading actually involves SO much information that it is more-often-than-not very...

I think my degree got me my job in programming; I think having ANY degree was what they were looking for on resumes. But I haven't had any other job...

I saw a kid walking yesterday - I assume, home from an in-school day - in shorts. It was COLD outside! I'm way past that as I want to be warm. LOL.

No, I don't think it is. Looking at the world from various perspectives, I think the virus has actually put a more "global" focus on people, the...

That is so nice! Can't wait to see pics of completed ones.

My mother, sibling and bil in CA got their 2nd shots yesterday. Yay!!

Well, sort of "forced frugality" maybe - lol. Normally do a grocery store run every week (with list in hand!), but haven't been in a couple weeks...

So are we. Plus the fact that I've never even heard of some of these things - LOL! Definitely learning things today.

Those are wonderful "small" things to be doing! I like to think that my small things and your small things and the small things from - hopefully -...

Again, if it made you feel better to respond as you did, I'm glad I could help; I hope it put a little bit of happy into your life. :)

I would love go to Mardi Gras some day - experience the dancing, singing, music, smiles, etc. that seems to infect the whole city. I hope this year...
