I live in a very large city that still has private trash service. Stupid. Multiple trucks going up and down the alleys followed by separate trucks...

Two more hours today. I focused on my bedroom and cleaned off one "hotspot," the bureau, which now looks pretty again. I got a lot of recycling and...

You can't just pull the plug before you put the dirt in? Wouldn't that be good enough to let the water drain out? I've never owned a pool and...

Other than the color of the kitchen cabinets I could make this place work. Especially for the pocket change price.

Our town stopped holding twice a year bulk pick up. Now they expect you to haul your stuff to a designated site twice a year.. They had to make that...

Going to drop off in the Free Box: Old slippers - I got new ones with the birthday money my Mom gave me Old Black Leggings - still fairly decent...

Probably the worst would be a hit just north of them. Hurricanes spin counter clockwise so that would make the storm surge hit the city directly.

I would love to find a place like this - size and price - in my area/surrounding area! I could live without the basement, but it's just the size I...

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3637-Western-Ave_Alton_IL_62002_M82924-88117?from=srp-list-card here is another dollhouse in...

okay----this is old; older'n you kids prolly. over 50 years! Yup. But anyway--I heard a song in the grocery store, and of course it was by the late...

okay---tell you what---go ahead and leve the pool where it is. Then, put a concrete bock foundation around the perimeter of the old pool, and then...

Just this one particular color, luckily :-)

We had Fiestaware. I think it was just the orange or maybe some brown glazes and they got onto it as a hazard somewhat early and changed the...

Fiestaware was made for some time with a uranium-based glaze. It spices up your food a bit... The video shows the terror. This is putting out...

What is that doing, measuring lead? You are such a killjoy. In my old neighborhood, we used to joke that the lead paint held our houses...

I know plenty of people who retired to FL or moved down in the last five years or so. I’ve been seeing older people I know say on FB that they will...

It's hard to move when you've been somewhere a long time or have family a certain place. On the other hand, people who actually move there, like to...

Tampa has not had a direct hit since 1922. If they get hit just right, a ton of water will be pushed up Tampa Bay.

And now another hurricane, Milton, is expected to hit somewhere in the Tampa area Wednesday night, likely as a Cat 3. That's just about the last...

I'm declaring the yard sale yesterday a success! Got rid of more than I thought I would, made a little bit of money and have about 5 items out of the...

Busy day already so I threw together a chicken stew in the crockpot. Will only have to thicken and season. Also have some sourdough rolls rising.

For some unknown reason I’m watching the sad clown show Allen vs Farrow about woody Allen’s debauchery with.Mia Farrow’s children. He is a creep,...

I love parades. And that's funny about first gear. LOL Glad it all worked out.

I really loved Isaac's Storm by Larson. I haven't read any of the others.

I’m sick of the whining from FL people about another hurricane coming their way (Milton). You chose to live there. Don’t like the storms, MOVE! I...

I'm with you on this one. Some of the crap I'm seeing posted about the hurricane just boggles the mind.

Oh yeah, OK. So how much would that cost?

No, faux---you gotts dig out the old pool, first. 'Cause if you just fill it in, you'll have a marsh, because it will still retain water. See? ...

Sooooooo sick of lies & misinformation...the internet will be the downfall of humanity.

Here is DH in the Homecoming parade driving Homecoming Royalty. The parade was a full 3 blocks long full of town organizations, cheerleaders,...

Recently I saw a property I really liked though I’m not shopping for another property, but if shopping I would consider it. But it had an inground...

It's clear to me going forward that the GOP wishes to position itself as the enemy of the people it deems less than worthy of existence. Austria in...

+ 10,000. Rob

Depends on your local market. In some areas, a swimming pool is viewed as a liability, or undesireable. And it may reduce the number of...

yeah, but what i was thinkin' was, was ta rent out a backhoe, dig the hole, and them use that pond cee-ment ta make 'er hold water, and just let the...

Nope! Net worth is the difference between assets and liabilities, if you pay cash you're trading one asset for another and if you finance, you're...

okay----I just sittin' here, wondering: If I was ta put in a cee-ment pond in back o' my hillbilly shackk, would it increase my "nett worth" or...

okay---went backta the wreckin' yard, and took my 4-way lug wrench & pulled four wheels offa a van like mine, but a 78 year model. The same one I...

okay------maybe I shoulda had "lockered beef" or "iowa chops" fer dinner(it's the American Way) or maybe a "Rorisserie Chickikkin', but instead, I...

I read this a few months back. Enjoyed it.

"The Demon of Unrest" by Erik Larson. A historical account of the events leading up to succession and Civil War, woven around the story of Fort...

I had a winning streak of good reads in September! (all fiction) Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan - this was a very short novella, really...

The Haitian immigrants are here LEGALLY. there is no other way to describe them. You can argue about whether the way they came here was appropriate...

Vance said he gave an alternative truth (ie lie) when he stated Haitians were eating pets. He is a liar. He shows his credentials are not worthy of...

I guess I should have said earlier that I don’t believe Fauci lied about covid issues because there was not a manual explaining what to expect or...

Okay---I really don't have any money& never did have a pot to p x x in 'er a winda ta pitch it out of, as they slyly say up in IWAH, the Meat State. ...

Rob’s friend, and mine, Ferguson protestor-turned-politician-turned-thief-in-Phoenix Bruce Franks is in the news again, apparently for the same...

okay----i am not worried, because nunna my parts for old Packards are made over there. Nope. But yeah---I reckon you kids are VERY concerned about...

I watched this Ramsey interview yesterday. It did not instill confidence in me in any way. MAYBE the only Trump bit I liked was his plan to lower...

Exactly! about determining Truth with a capital T. And I didn’t even know about the widespread immigration system use of “temporary protected...

I think the VP debate is a good example of how difficult regulating “the truth” can be. Margaret Brennan inserts herself into the debate by attacking...

Is it a lie when you say or espouse something you believe to be true at the time, but turns out wrong, compared to knowing something isn't true and...

Current contract has been extended to Jan 15th. The pay issue is resolved but things like automation have not. They don’t want ANY automation. ...

Well apparently the strike was resolved before I even got a chance to really worry about people panic-buying all the toilet paper again.

IL …Did you fact check all the “lies”? By your own admission you do not watch the new so wonder where you get your information? BTW I don’t have an...
