I just tried mixing a little water with wood ash and testing it on a napkin ring. Works fine--takes a little more time and more elbow grease, but...

Whoa, happystuff, that is amazing--I can't believe you did that in a couple of hours. OMG I would have given up, as there is no way I could have put...

That's wonderful, glad the reaction passed, and glad you got your shot!

Me, too! I throw in white sage and say a prayer, and I think that helps, too.

Here is an article about a study that links Roundup to destruction of Monarch butterflies: ...

Happy, here's one I might try if I get ambitious: https://damndelicious.net/2016/07/13/best-cauliflower-pizza-crust/

Thanks Terry. I have done everything they've asked for a year now. I haven't been able to see my grandson in two years. And they just keep...

Well, I overcooked it because it was the first time we used the new oven and we couldn't figure out the timer. We couldn't tell the difference and...

No vaccinations here in Maine or in New Hampshire where we are for those who are 65-70, even those with complicating health conditions. I got a...

That sounds good, happystuff. We are trying our first frozen cauliflower pizza.

It's a door problem--it is not hitting right to turn off the light, and you can't use the self cleaning latch. Supposedly we can try adjusting the...

We bought a stove at Habitat to replace the horrible one that came with the house--ancient and filthy, although it worked. They told us the new one...

My uncle was rejected from the Navy due to his asthma. The following week the Army Air Force took him. He provided air coverage for D-Day. His...

I doubt it, having looked at them carefully.

Maybe tell the doctor about that, Yppej? I definitely have pain and swelling so was connecting the two. Simplemind, I have that same experience,...

Right, that is our problem, as we have done them on the dining room table, so please report back! Happy, covering the puzzle sounds like a good...

When we were cleaning out my parents' upstairs closet we found a giant box of slides that turned out to be from the family that had owned the house...

Also, ask around and find the other "family historians" in the family. I have located two on my dad's side, and now my cousin's daughter is stepping...

I have 120 years of family photos in albums. I'm still missing one box of albums that are somewhere in my barn in a box because we just moved. It...

That is weird-- but kind of cool and encouraging!

Aaahh!!!!

Oh man, Jane, no way! We are down to the 500 piece, something identifiable on every piece ones. Between my eyesight and my arthritis, I need clear...

Grits from my favorite South Carolina farm.

Cauliflower with feta.

Happystuff, I just want to say my dad was at Parris Island in 1945. I'm sitting here looking at his Guadacanal patch. Some of us are eternally...

So pretty. We are getting ready to start a new puzzle but can't quite figure out the best place to put it. New house, new puzzle issues!

Yes, our retirement has been completely blindsided by family "obligations", unfortunately. I think this is a good thing to try to plan for-- perhaps...

Not silly at all. I like your positive approach to building community, and wish you were my neighbor. We could walk our dogs together! I spend a...

We are signed up with the state and we wait and wait, no word. Both of us are eligible supposedly, but they are imposing another age cutoff and only...

Just call it O'Hara, like the Boss did.

The official Nearing version of how Scott died differs somewhat from an account by their neighbor, who said that at some point, Helen put him in a...

Praying for him and in the hospital so they can monitor him, so that is positive.

razz, keep us posted--I may do the same, as we just made a new load--we could try to keep track of how many loads we get out of it.

We use the Duggars liquid soap recipe. I just looked this up about quantity, and discovered that someone did the math: " The recipe makes a...

I actually did cut off a tall table back 30 years ago to make our coffee table, and it's been with us ever since. Yesterday my son came out to visit...

We just keep making our own and feeling happy about how much money we have since we started (2007, I think.) I switch the soaps I grate to make it...

I'm sorry for your loss, BikingLady. You are so right about the caregiver syndrome.

I have had such good luck with my Toyota Yaris. It just passed state inspection with flying colors, and it is a 2010 car, and just keeps plugging...

Ours is up 50 inch from the floor, on top of a game cabinet.

Then make sure to take it with you and use it. Put the tv on it, and if it doesn't work, something else will occur to you to do with it.

I would absolutely use the buffet in the living room. It's beautiful.

Can you remove the built in hutch and put it somewhere else, like the bedroom to make it an office? Then you could use your buffet.

Fantastic! I am so happy for you!

Every time you say this, I think of the Ab Fab episode.

I am apparently 1B3 and registered, but no word yet on available vaccines--we registered on the state site.

Bae, hope it is going well with your dad, and that you guys are enjoying sharing space while he finds a new place.

Thank you, fingers crossed for the right outcome

A good plan!!

Are they asking for highest and best? I hate that, it just feels nervewracking.

Sorry, it was 36 a month for the Walgreens, and this is what it said: May be a good fit if you're looking for low monthly plan premiums, and...

Wow, that is a good deal, IL. In Maine the cost for the Walgreen plan is 46 dollars a month. The cheapest plan is 27 dollars a month. There is...

Seriously, Tradd, check out the Viking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRd0fn6R6J0 If we ever get one, this is what we will get.

I think I will sign up for the cheapest Part D and not the Walgreens because I don't want to be limited to walgreens.

Like how much to do you pay for a medication--say an antibiotic or the statin?

Thank you, that is super helpful!

That utility thing is huge, I can see why you are going for this one. Are you verifying that you have 2 small dogs, or verifying they are allowed? ...

I love the way these look, but If we get a trailer, we need to be under 12k, and would probably look for a Viking: It is decidedly not...

We are considering using a DCP provider for my husband here. Does anyone do this--it is 90 dollars a month for an adult over 65, and obviously, it...
