So, I'm thinking my busiest week of this holiday season is going to start tomorrow. Between work and other commitments every evening from Monday...

Personally, I fall on the side of - if you KNOW you will use it in the near future, keep it! Otherwise, bye-bye. It's not like you won't be able to...

When did I get so old? LOL! I qualify for most of those! I bookmarked the page. Thanks so much for posting!

OMG! I totally forgot that I had one of those! Not sure if I still have it - when one of the kids got their fingers caught in the bike spokes, I...

We do the same with the electric kettle and coffee press. I like the stainless steel electric kettles you linked - I may need to look at those...

Well, I don't see it as an err, but it is a mute point. What I did take from what you wrote was: "Oh, we can't do that because I'll be in a data...

Oh, no! Not again! :( ROFLOL.

The government already does this in sooooo many ways. But, sticking with guns and considering the era of the Constitution, I have no issues with...

So take away one.... take away the other.... take away both.. increase regulations on who can buy... on who can own.... DO SOMETHING! I'm not...

I heard about the bug parts and eggs in any grains a long time ago. I "try" to put things in the freezer for abut 48 hours before storing in various...

All I can say is... WOW! Congrats!

Great pictures and what a cutie pie!!! Hmmm... maybe I'm not too old to let my hair grow out? You ladies look fabulous with your longer locks!

Agree. And not just why aren't gun laws obeyed, but why aren't they enforced - from buying to selling to owning to carrying to firing, etc? And,...

Okay, THIS is why we can't... people arguing over semantics while others die. YOU can talk "data" if you want. I'm not talking percentages; I'm...

No, I didn't. Why can't we remove assault weapons and save some souls?

Yet these are the ones I seem to hear about more in the news. And "seldom harm a soul" is fine until that soul belongs to a brother, sister, son,...

All the pictures are absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

I LOVE our electric kettle!!! It is used so many times a day by everyone in the household; it gets more use than pretty much any other appliance in...

My guess is that they will still have livable homes along the shoreline in 2050, but I think the shoreline will have a different location.

So glad that it works for you. Enjoy.

I blame both the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies. My med used to be 27.00 a month out of pocket. Apparently the med was sold to...

Just saw the ad and was ready to be totally offended, but... not really anything there that makes me upset. Woman seems to like the gift from her...

VERY impressive!!! Congrats!

Thank you so much!!! I won't worry so much about this now.

I only did the standing in line once - many years ago. Since then, I never shopped on Black Friday... until this past one. I went out in the...

I think I've colored my hair a total of maybe 4 times my whole life, last time over 20 years ago. Fortunately, I'm okay with the color and color...

Sad to say that only events like this are going to convince some (probably not all) people the coming climate changes are real. Now that climate...

While I don't mind improvements or upgrades, I do agree with everyone here that most are worthless and only serve to complicate things. On the...

I love hearing stories like this. Nice people rock!!

My teen years were all the Beatles and John Denver - Rocky Mountain High. I wanted to be a forest ranger. I am not a forest ranger, so in that...

I think that is fabulous. There are so many benefits to volunteering time. Kudos to you.

Congrats! It is such a relief to get out of debt - even if it doesn't last. It's nice to know one is able to accomplish it. I hope you are healing...

Lol. Good one.

Then a storage unit works for you - congrats! Nice to see people who find something they can truly love.

For me, personally, a storage unit just never made sense. If I want the "stuff", if it has value to me, I find a place for it in my home. If I...

My point was that subsidized housing costs less than $1000/month with MORE amenities - minimally, a bathroom! Geila doesn't state whether the garage...

I keep coming back to - how can someone LEGALLY charge $1000 a month rent on a garage with no bathroom? Which to me, intimates that it is not even a...

My suggestion/answer would be - by doing something. Do whatever you can to address any of the above to the best of your ability. If averting your...

Got the free turkey from our grocery store and, since I didn't need it for Thanksgiving, I'm cooking it today. We'll have some for dinner tonight,...

Thanks for the information. I know some folks who might be interested.

We got our first ever fake tree last year - invasive insect species in our area and warnings went out about trees. I actually like it as putting up...

I was hoping the same as catherine. Sorry to see you go; I have enjoyed many of your posts. It doesn't say much for a forum when a member or...

I agree with rosarugosa. I like living in this time AND place! as I feel I have way more choices than a lot of other people may have. Pioneer...

I am grateful and fortunate that I have such a wonderful family and extended family that makes any possible negative aspects of holidays seem...

I agree!

Quoting the article above: "A closer look at the data suggests that Americans are not having enough babies to sustain the population." I am...

It could be! Some people have wicked, evil minds - ROFLOL! Personally, I like this time of year. The changing weather (although I reserve the...

Heading out to my sister's. Did all my cooking/baking last night after work, so definitely relaxing this morning. Should be a nice day. I work...

"On Friday, at the 20th World Congress of the International Association of Penal Law, Pope Francis said he was thinking about adding “ecological sin...

I could but that would mean giving up my cell - which is also "out there". I don't know that we will be doing anything anytime soon, but all this...

Thanks, Steve! This is very useful information. I'm "hesitant" about taking the jump off my tracfone; it's what I'm used to; I can afford it; etc. ...

I found some highlights on youtube. Very exciting!

Thanks. No cable.

Sounds interesting. Are the games available to watch online? Maybe older games on Youtube?

"8pm tonight... all of Trump's lies listed.... CNN" ALL his lies, or just those since he has been president?

If it was just me, I believe I could do likewise. Not speaking for others, but I think it may not be a matter of "could" so much as "would". ...

Accessible maybe, but I think cost plays a huge part for a lot of folks. I often find myself choosing the "cheaper" over the "healthier" due to...

I agree. But I do think that "whole unadulterated natural foods in some combination" are not always that easy for everyone to obtain.

I haven't read either one of these so maybe I should just stay out of this but.... what if the longevity is not due to diet? What if it is attitude,...
