You know, it's been a great ride here. I joined A LONG TIME AGO ... I think sometime in the mid-'90s, but could have been in the early-'00s. I've had a number of aliases, starting with Labyrs and...

If you want to see other categories added to the Fair Premium Book, talk to the person who staffs that department and/or the Fair Manager, and have others talk to them as well. It's not hard to get...
I used to work full time at a small county fair/fairgrounds, and what fun that was! Enter, enter, enter! And, if you can, get involved by helping set up, clerking, etc. Some may be paid, many just...
I shop several thrift stores in the Boise area, but especially like Idaho Youth Ranch, which provides emergency shelter, residential care, substance abuse treatment, job readiness training,...
We have Kenmore front-loader washer and dryer. No room to stack them (built-in cupboards above), but no problem with that. We got a pedestal for each, but really it's not necessary. I guess you're...
Even as I "type", news about another school shooting, in Troutdale, OR. Two killed ... :(
I don't like the taste of coffee (or beer or other alcohol) but do love the smell!! Since I can't get caffeine that way, I do take caffeine pills -- I buy No-Doze and cut the pills in quarters (each...
I don't know if I have "insomnia" or not -- I don't have trouble sleeping, rather just going to sleep. I ponder and re-hash everything you could possibly think of, but I do eventually fall asleep,...
I hardly ever sit and watch TV ... but I love the TV on when I'm in the kitchen cooking, cleaning up, etc. Then I'm "watching" all recorded things -- Law & Order (though I've seen them all many...
I used to be an avid reader, but as I get older (I'm 70) I do find reading more "difficult". I wear glasses, and they seem good enough, but are not Good Enough. I've had cataract surgery. When I...
I want ... a weekend (or just any two or three days in a row) with nobody else around (even DH, bless his heart) and nowhere to go and nothing I have to do. I want to putter. I want to do some of...
When we built our house (ourselves) 38 years ago we put in wood countertops because we were running out of money and had left-over wood. We don't live there anymore, but we went "home" to visit our...
DH and I are Unitarian-Universalist (UU) and we love it. UUs churches are basically creedless ("you can believe whatever you want" :D ) ... but respect and encourage all sincere practices, and...
Our dentist is Dr. Payne -- and he's amazing :D
And a friend goes to Dr. Doctor. An MD, not a dentist ...
We watch very little live TV (except baseball and football games) and record everything else we want to watch. So I'm recording it ...
I've been cutting DH's hair/beard for 51 years, but I don't cut my own hair. I can trim it a bit when it needs it, but I can't "cut" it, if you understand the difference. Going from longish to...
Together 51 years, so of course it never occurred to me not take DH's name. Besides, it has 13 letters, so hyphenating the two would have been hilarious. No big deal, because of "the times". Eh. ...
Yes.
I used to, back in our "hippie days" ('60s/'70s), and loved it!! Even tho clotheslines are not permitted in our subdivision I ignored that and did hang my clothes in the back yard when we moved here...
We've had both cats and dogs through the years, and loved them both. We felt our sons needed a dog, so we got a dog. Boys gotta have a dog, dontcha know :~) ... and we lived a pretty-much rural...
We have 3.5 cats (the .5 cat belongs to our neighbors but he likes us better) ... we feed them, and they tolerate us. They let us pet and snuggle with them, and even let us take them to the vet now...
Other than a brief three-month stint in a jewelry store, all of my jobs have been with a branch of "the government" at some level. School district recreation department (recreation leader). ...
When I was a young stay-at-home mom I did a pretty good job. But it was just something I had to do, and I didn't really enjoy it. DH worked-outside-the-home, of course, so My Job was to raise the...
We are just embarking on a master bath "remodel", or "upgrade", or whatever you call it. Nothing fancy, but definitely better than what's here now. We live in a typical subdivision and we don't...
Liquor stores are a great source for boxes.
Back in the olden days, when we actually had to take our own garbage to the dump, there was one place set aside for "good" stuff that people could...
