Not really a purge, but moving my houseplants to the window boxes means I can spread out my orchids on the newly vacated shelves. Feels great to...

Just put my houseplants out in the window boxes, which is where they started last summer. doing this, I was able to fill two boxes with the addition...

We are back to ice cream cones for dinner as often as possible, now that the stands are starting to open.

It's too bad y'all have never heard of primers for your skin! Here is a little info about primers for sensitive skin: ...

That is very good thinking, and good for you for actually doing it, rather than just thinking about it.

Congratulations! I am impressed that this got done so quickly, and without actually going to court. It does seem like the more unpleasantly someone...

Yeah, bowled over, that is how I felt, too. For that to happen at a garage sale! The doggie was completely unexpected. She had a very distinct...

Bullet Park by John Cheever.

I think it's great to support him as he tries to find subsidized housing. What I don't think is good is for you to immediately take on this problem....

How adorable. I think you are really blessed to have a family of doves on your front porch, and talk about a wonderful omen!

I am going to get to work thinking about what I would do in your situation, and what I would do if I were in BIL's situation, and will weigh in...

I am going to look for the movie! IL, I am incredibly impressed by your efforts right now, and brilliant to use the free St. Louis compost as your...

Gamification was the buzz word in higher ed in about 2012-3. We were urged to put it in our online curriculum, and to use it in the form of...

We took less for our house in Michigan because they had cash and could close in two weeks. It was stress free.

I would let them sort it out themselves. They can always go to college later. I give my grandchildren money via ugma and not a 529 because they can...

Great news about the negative tests, Jp!! Keep em coming.

It's hard to know what to do! The good thing is that you live close, so you don't need to fly down there or drive--you can be available and cook...

Really good news, JP!

it looks like a scam, I think. All I am going on is mandatory training in spotting them where I work and I would not reply. This is the scam tipoff...

I'm so glad they are giving you the time off, and so glad the accident wasn't worse.

That sounds really good. I looked around and there is one of these in a town about half an hour away. But it is a guy, solo practitioner. I need...

I would totally do that if I liked the doctor. But does Medicare pay for things like your blood tests and mammograms etc?

Or when Lindsay Graham called Trump "bat shit crazy" during the primaries. What happened, Lindsay?

You are right. There is so much to grieve these days. I think sometimes I use a head in the sand, ignore things and they will go away approach, and...

I have a hard time buying that statistic. I went and looked at my closet and I seem to wear most everything, unless you are including the dress up...

Wow, I looked her up, and talk about being close to the center of power. Jeesh. Not suspicious at all! I am reading a super early John Updike...

Aw. too bad. I did not find any in the past three states I lived in, so mine were definitely very old, from after I moved, and they could not find...

Get a pulse oximeter now. The current virus moves so quickly, and you could be fine and then five hours later, you could be having dangerously low...

Sent back new Moto phone because it kept talking to me and making random noises, and it seemed like I would have to reprogram it to get it to stop. ...

I guess this is being snarky, but I feel a little disrespected when posters take pot shots at each other. This is my happy place to go to get and...

Just saw your post about your SO, JP, and hope that he gets better soon, and you stay well!

I've had a pulse oximeter for over 15 years due to history of low oxygen levels and respiratory failure. They are cheap now. Get one. Thermometer...

My husband said he feels like he is a Hobbit. He is definitely a prairie kind of guy. We miss our prairie view, sandhill cranes, and grasses.

I just hit the submit claim button and then got emailed forms from the Illinois Treasurer. So I will be mailing my forms to the office of the...

Good luck with this, Yppej. I have been to two doctor appointments with this doctor in Maine and she never once had me take off my mask. I told my...

Wow, that sounds like the next Netflix series!! What is the name of the dead woman? I wasn't sure what I thought about the Lynn Steger Strong...

I feel they were the ones giving me the gift by being so interested and excited about them!

This made me laugh. I use the corners where you slide the picture in, so there is not adhesive on the photo at all. Catherine, just get your...

We have actually learned we are not forest people. If you are, then yes, this is a dream location!

That's great!!

Oh, I see. Well, I'll have to see if I can muster up what the Ill site has asked for.

Can you write a generalized article about Covid and this phenomenon, because I think it is out there, and HIV has so much to teach us about exactly...

Catherine, have you done it lately for New Jersey? The three things I found for my son and for me were all after we moved to different states, which...

That seems very reasonable to me. Frankly, I feel that government exceeded its authority extensively over the past two years.

Oh good, my brother would be using the Massachusetts one.

have ordered Anatomy of a Scandal and Home Before Dark from the Minerva library so they will be sent to my little local library. It's very little. ...

Thanks!

Frugal, that is such good news about finding a good doctor!! And great news about the bills being covered-- I am not surprised yet I am always...

That book by Shilts was fantastic, absolutely riveting.

The house sits in a clearing in the woods. The clear is probably an acre and a half, maybe?

What a lovely tribute to your husband. That is what true love seeks to be! Congratulations.

I know, that's why I think there is a supernatural element involved.

Update on mown daylilies. This is after raking the bed of leaves. It looks great and was a very easy rake.

My poinsettia has been blooming steadily since last fall. Here is a photo: Shoot. Don't know why it is upside down. This was the plant I...

Flowers, I am so sorry you were sick, and hoping you feel better and better as spring arrives.

Yesterday I was out raking straw off the garden. Then this morning there were two inches of snow on the poor plants. We, too!

I just finished Lynn Steger Strong's Want, about a woman who is an adjunct and declares bankruptcy. Has anyone else read it, and what did you think?
