I have one and when an old favourite sweatshirt or fleecy top needed some refreshing, the depiller worked very well. I think that fleece-type tops...

Lovely pictures. My violets took a beating this past winter sitting on the north window sill so I culled them down to two that are recovering nicely...

Good list for review. I agree about most of the ideas are great and part of my routine. Some are harder to do or justify. I rarely find...

Another :welcome: from southern Ontario. What are the special challenges you are trying to deal with in simplifying your life?

It would be a fun way to meet new people that have a craft interest.

Thank you for that information, IL. One sort of related note is that so many people have commented to me that there are no volunteers anymore. ...

Don't forget that there is a whole world of activity going on that will impact North America. Where is your source for this?

Unique and lovely. Now you have me curious. You have used a number of greens. flowers and supports. Could you advise me and increase my...

Had to look up 'Manichean' - so he is a highly conflicted individual and triggers those feelings and views of him as being a combo or good and evil....

That is a very clever observation and way of helping to make a disposal choice.

I knew nothing about shiba inus dogs so looked them up online. They are cute but too much dog for me according to this site:...

Funny!

Thanks for the link, Cath. It recommends that I should get a Beaglier, a cross of a Beagle and a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. My little Benny...

Are you able to let the bad memories go like blown away chaff and keep the good memories to savour as valuable gems and to cherish them regularly? ...

When did life get so complicated? I dated a very limited number of men; I just wasn't that interested beyond friendship. I met a dear man who...

It is sad, painful, to have that happen but is it not just a normal aspect of life? You were fortunate to have the friendships last as long as they...

That was an interesting video. Hmmmmm, one change to make. Have to think about that as I am already trying to cut back severely. I am tempted to...

Oh, that is distressing! All that lovely bloom potential lost.

When you are house hunting and a dear friend says, "you without a garden won't happen". I took her advice and love my house and garden. Cute thread!

Enjoy! A comfy chair is a treasure to have.

This thread has been educational for me.

That is precisely why I don't have TV connection. I get my news online in the morning, once through the day and in the evening. I try for the local...

DH had no desire to travel. He loved being home and doing things around home. For the first years of his career, he was flying back and forth across...

While on holiday recently, I bought 3 new t-shirts. I am finally clearing out the T's that I have had for 15+ years and donating them. My drawers,...

Please share your travels and the surprises that delight along the way. Have fun!

I must try a recumbent bike for those icy days when I cannot walk. I tried the treadmill and found that I don't like it at all. Adding music would...

Sounds like you need a BIG hug so sending you one.

Phyllis Hobson has an excellent book about making and using dried foods, "Making and Using Dried Foods". You library could probably get you a copy....

Very well done in helping to see the past activities objectively, Sweetana, with detachment.

That is an unfortunate development as teaching an online course that you like is a real joy. Volunteering requires one to leave the comfort of one's...

Me, too. Looking at rescue dog sites to see what is available.

Gardening must be political. I had no idea who Matalin or Carville were so had to look them up. Interesting couple.

Cute promotional idea for the sponsor and my vote got counted as well.

People need a shelter, warmth and food. Those are basic necessities for living. It is truly sad when the cost of just one gobbles up the most of...

This thread is giving me a chuckle. Gardening becoming political? I prefer to use no chemicals or anything beyond compost and mulch. Does that make...

Well said, CL. Self-talk can be punitive or supportive. Treat yourself as your best friend.

It was a 21 day bus tour. I never ever would have attempted to drive all of this now or at any point in my life or arranged the planning schedule,...

Trying to add photos again. The distance traveled was over 8500km according to the bus driver's log.

Catching up and seeing all this talent in flower arranging, quilting and drawing is a delight.

Finally got to see another part of the US. May I rave? Nashville is fascinating in its musical history and Museum of Country Music; Memphis and...
