Thanks for sharing your life story - so far! Wishing you a very happy future! I totally agree with the wonderfulness of adoption and the families...

That is so wonderful, Kay! I'm so happy for you and with you all a wonderful future ahead - together! Thanks so much for sharing!

Welcome Jackie. Look forward to chatting with you.

I also tend to keep a higher balance in my checking - mainly for those unexpected things that I don't want to take money out of savings for. ...

And I'm sure the folks you share with will greatly appreciate!

Tonight is meat & cabbage pie. Been a while and I'm looking forward to it.

Wow! That WAS a great day, rr! Congrats to dh! And I'm with Tradd - you should use them all! Even if some are used as gifts to other people, that...

I usually do this every Sunday. Divide the pan into a dozen pieces and there is enough for both dh and I have to for breakfast for the week. Makes...

Big shopping trip yesterday - going to both my local grocery store and Aldis. Spent over $100 combined, but that included buying stock-up on ground...

Sounds like fun. Not sure I will participate, but would love to hear how it goes for you.

Made a really good cabbage soup last night, so leftovers may be for tonight. lol

Stumbled across a movie called Last Words last night on PlutoTV. Missed maybe the first 5 minutes, but managed to get the gist of it. Very strange...

That stinks, Tradd. Sorry it messed with your holiday weekend.

That is so sad, Alan. And you are right - makes me cherish my family all the more!

We have also been hitting lower temps here and there, so the heat has been on and off already.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Glad you stopped back in, hana. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I get stuff addressed to current resident as well. I'm going to look for that tiny 1-800 number. Thanks!

Had rescued a moon chair from the school with the intent to use it, but it just took up space for about 3 months. Out on the magic sidewalk and gone...

Early morning - your "setting out by the road" is our "magic sidewalk" out front of the house. LOL. Just put a moon chair out there that was...

Really good question.

I've been working on decluttering for so long, that I'm not the ideal consumer at all. I've, hopefully, gotten a handle on my gazingus pins, and I've...

I love one-dish/pan meals! That looks pretty good, IL. Thanks for the link.

Thanks so much, Tybee. Sounds yummy and the recipe looks pretty easy!

Sold my first Lego set! It's very motivating to get the rest of the sets put together and listed online.

Yes! It's amazing what they have come up with to make canning jars more than just "canning" jars. LOL

Getting together at a sibling's house. It's always so much fun. And with everyone just bringing one or two sides, appetizers or desserts, there is...

Sounds interesting! How did it turn out? If good - recipe?? LOL

They have come up with some great lids making the jars more useful for things besides canning. I have a pour spout which turns my 1/2 gallon jar...

Oh my goodness, tms! I'm so sorry for everything!

LOL. Thanks for the warning!

Great, Tradd!

Do you mean wide mouth jars versus regular?

Biggest conspiracy I'm personally aware of..... The whole world is out to get me!!! :help: (Not really - just a joke. :D)

Mine is canning jars. BUT I MIGHT NEED THEM LATER!!!! :|(

Wow, tms! That is so scary! Glad everyone is okay!

That's wonderful, rr! I'm so happy for you! I am hoping to find something I can sink my teeth into once I retire, so this is very inspirational....

So sorry, TMS.

Finally got off my duff and started organizing and listing some of the kids Lego sets on Marketplace. Hoping that doing it now with the start of...

That is all wonderful and looks great! I'm so jealous of folks who have someone handy in the house.

I actually have several smaller solar camping type lanterns that provide excellent light. This is a good reminder to me to make sure they are...

I agree - that's so interesting, bae! And very informative. Thanks for sharing. I think I would have found it all very exciting! LOL

Saw it was moved, so just popped in to say Thanks!

Funny how often people don't like what they have and want what they don't have. I have always had thin, straight, fine hair and have always wanted...

I got my flu and covid this past Wednesday. Sick Wednesday night and covid arm still sore, but at least the swelling and red band have gone. Prayers...

I like this and agree. Hopefully, we haven't destroyed our chances of friendly contact with whoever/whatever may be out in the universe.

I know one or two of the negotiators. They know they screwed up and there is no re-doing. And the BA of the school WILL NOT bump up my salary....

May I suggest this thread be moved to Politics?

The contract was ratified and - in my personal opinion - I got screwed. Everyone said that this contract would negotiate a higher starting wage,...
