Currently reading "Act Like A Lady - Think Like A Man" by Steve Harvey. I'm trying to declutter some of my books, but feel the need to actually read...

Good luck and I hope this works out well. Stay safe and healthy.

The magic sidewalked worked again - broken snowblower and industrial spool of weed wacker string - GONE!!!

Absolutely! I definitely have a bias, and a fear, and a dread, and a hope - everyone does. Hence, why I always try to use the words "in my opinion".

In my opinion, I do believe that this will lead to Trump gaining another victory, during which he will do his best to follow in his friend Putin's...

So glad the baby has a chance now! Kudos to you and your son. Your last statement here got me to wondering and hoping. There have been so many...

My oldest cat is from a feral litter born under a previous work location porch. Made me mad that we tried to call the local FUR group to get the...

It is scary, but very doable. Congrats and good luck to you!

Make a Living Will - now and also tell any and all family members that you not only have one, but tell them verbally what your wishes are. This way...

This article? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/04/health/239-experts-with-one-big-claim-the-coronavirus-is-airborne.html I suggest you re-read it. ...

I'm sorry it was not a good experience for you. My single friend had her father come live with her and they hired day-care to come to the house....

That's a good idea! Part of today's old shed tear-down included throwing out about a dozen dried cans of paint, but there are just as many with...

Definitely could be. One of the major highways near me is notorious for massive amounts of truck traffic, cars traveling at high speeds to get around...

Yes, the roadways are definitely changing again - more and more traffic and, I agree, the speeds seem to have increased!!!

Yes, definitely a reason I'm trying to deal with my own stuff now!

Sold a set of four dumbbells - just picked up. yay!

I'm very much in favor of generational living. With so many of us siblings, my mother will NEVER lack for a place to live! And I have often offered...

Last night was tacos. Tonight will be mushroom patties with sweet potatoes. Not sure how I want to cook the sweet potatoes yet, but I've found a...

Well, the book I want to be in the world, I've posted. On a personal, more fantasy level, I'll go with The Green Kingdom by Rachel Maddux.

Not doing as well as some, but doing better than others; don't have a lot, but then don't want a lot; am grateful for what I have and especially...

Just what we need - another arrogant, idiotic president - as if the current one isn't bad enough. :doh:

Had several pretty displays right across the street as well. I did enjoy them, but one of the cats spent the night under a bed. LOL. I was quite...

So many to choose from, but based on today's world, I would pick "How to Be Compassionate: A Handbook for Creating Inner Peace and a Happier World"...

larknm - I love the idea of taking my jars and filling them. There used to be a small "natural" store in the area many, many years ago that I could...

Joining neighbors - outside, distancing - for bbq. Will have hamburgers, grilled portabella mushrooms, tomato & mozzarella salad, watermelon, little...

In My Opinion: Seems like two different things - yes, your prosecutor is wrong with why she is trying to pursue legal action and, yes, this couple...

They just started allowing sales of and use of fireworks in our state. Used to be people crossed the state line to buy what they wanted and set them...

No AC here either, Tybee. I just "slow down" on those super hot and humid days. Makes for a lazy day, but... About the only place I go any more...

Good article. Thanks for posting it. I'm thinking I need to let groceries sit for a bit, I don't think I do well with those. I do have a sibling...

That's so pretty, Kay! Such talent!

Hi Circa1948, That snowglobe sounds beautiful! Would love to see a picture, if you are able. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting and useful information. Thanks.

Have now done dried apples, dried strawberries and fresh blueberries. The apples had a very light - almost imperceptible flavor. The strawberries...

Yes, but didn't he stay mainly in the Politics forum? I remember he was easily ignored by avoiding specific forums.

The magic sidewalk has come through again! A set of 13 old golf clubs in a heavy golf bag was taken yesterday.

meri, I agree with a lot of what you say. I was warned when I was young, be very careful what you put in writing!!! And you are right, once out on...

Congrats and welcome! I totally understand "children's belongings can quickly take over a house"! Their toys and clothes seem to magically multiply...

Things - AND PEOPLE - were more genteel and definitely seemed less hate-filled/hateful. I miss the days of simple kindness and politeness.

Yeah, I've read the posts.

I would have thought the exact opposite! With such unsanitary practices going on, I would be taking each and every precaution available - masks,...

I can't remember if it was on the original forum or here, that the Public Policy forum was started just to sort of "contain" the - shall we say, less...

This is exactly how I feel, too! I think it's a comfort thing as well as a practical thing. I love seeing beautiful patterned dresses and skirts, but...

I feel the same way about Korean wedding hanboks!. So beautiful!!!

I just went to the store today and I am starting to see empty shelves again. Was surprised that a lot of the canned goods shelves were empty. I'm...

Nice. Thanks so much for sharing this. I need to watch it more than once, as there is so much to think about.

We got a small one from the car insurance. Tybee, I think the rational on the refunds is that people have not/had not been driving as much and the...

Last night was leftovers. I think I will start trying some of these tuna recipes I've been saving. Tonight I'll try tuna patties. Edited to...

And I disagree. I think the institutions will not be totally passed over and left unscathed. The removal of some statues - regardless of how - has...

Personally, I think boys/men should be taught and held responsible for their own sperm. After all, if they don't put it into a woman who didn't want...

Thanks, catherine. Just finished the trailer and I definitely want to see the whole thing!

Yes, some folks have forgotten, but thank goodness DNA tests are now more reliable and available making it easier to make the folks who want to...

I, personally, don't see the hypocrisy. The "history" can go into museums - halls of history. Planned Parenthood of TODAY is not the historical...

Agree. How about women wouldn't be faced with unplanned pregnancies if men kept it in their pants! Men seem to forget that it takes TWO to create,...

Sold one of the tires that came out of the old shed. Took the one with no rim and am going to turn it into a planter for tomatoes or something.

Not posting it doesn't necessarily mean that the "fervently hoping" isn't there - lol.

Mostly open, but it depends on with who and about what. I think one of the important things is to be open with struggles, but also with joys. I...

And vice versa, I would hazard a guess. But the plague doesn't care one side from the other; it simply infects. And hate doesn't care either; it...

Things are changing all over. The Simple Living Forum is definitely not as nice or as fun as it used to be. But, like everything everywhere, things...
