And I will repeat the OP: Happy Veteran's Day! Thanks to all who served, are serving and will serve.

My vote definitely goes to Rupert! So cute!!

I think that was actually "forgotten knowledge" on my part. Thanks.

And it has rolled around again! Happy Birthday to the Marine Corps! Semper Fi!

:laff:

So sad. I never would have thought such a thing could have happened on a lake! i like to think I have learned.

One of the high schools in the area has a holiday craft event every year. It is ALWAYS cold out and there is always a line to get in - LOL. It's...

Helped a friend of mine with the auction she had when her father past. It was sad and totally unbelievable the stuff that went on! The auction...

I don't do any holiday stuff any more except Christmas. I have one string of solar lights that I love and go out after Thanksgiving (or when the...

Beautiful colors in my area now as well. Just wish the rain would hold off so I can go out and enjoy it more.

I love how you are moving on from one craft to another, SiouzQ. I hope the new creative endeavors are just as fun and rewarding for you!

I think I would get an immediate attack of sensory overload in that warehouse! Where's the "green"???

Still working on getting settled into my "perfect place" with my "perfect stuff". LOL. I have been downsizing forever (or it feels like it) and I...

Wow, that's must have been such a pita! Glad it is finally all resolved.

Have three xerox boxes and two bags out on the front porch for pickup. The donation corner now has a new empty box ready for filling. LOL

Glad it worked out!!

pinkytoe and tradd - totally agree about letting go of more as I age. I'm actually in the middle of testing out a "down-sizing swap" of my desk. ...

The sad part is - based on my working at the elementary school (and even as just a custodian) - the whole issue of grades and promoting to the next...

YIKES! That is a huge jump! I hope things work out for you.

Wonderful sentiment, SiouzQ. I agree.

This, to me, is the best way to be remembered! I can only hope as much when I die. "<TooMuchStuff> was a good, kind, and generous man and will be...

That stinks, Tybee.

Sending prayers out to the universe for him. Thanks for posting, Alan.

OMG, catherine! It's sooo much! Sending out a huge amount of prayers and positive energies to EVERYONE!

Much better! And beautiful! Thank you!

Thanks for posting, but I can't get the picture large enough for me to see. (My eyes are so bad lately!) But judging from all the ribbons - YAY!

Congrats, il. Do you have a picture of the lily in bloom?

We do a little bit of everything - monetary donations, food donations, etc. to a couple different local places. My grocery store also has the...

catherine, I'm so sorry! Sending prayers and positive energies to your dd, your dh and to you.

Was traveling when this was posted. FYI - Joel and Maggie (character names) are now doing a podcast called Northern Disclosure. You can watch it...

I agree that finding a place to take/donate things is often have the battle, Rogar. It's nice you have so many options.

Well, the first helping was last night for dinner and was mixed with the kibble. It was the quickest I've seen her eat a meal!!

Ouch, rr! That really stinks. I hope it is a good prognosis with long-term viability of the tooth!

Have been wanting to get healthier (but not expensive) options for dog food. Made some dog food last night to supplement the "kibble" food. Sally...

Always so nice to hear positive feedback, tradd. Good job!

English with some Spanish.

NICE!!!!! And, yes, I AM jealous!!!! Another excellent work of art, rr!!

This really doesn't fit in purging, but more in organizing. Have two closets in the "dining room". Have to put the camping equipment away and decided...

I've been seeing the herb strippers as side ads on different web pages. Pretty cute. Nice mug, Alan. I love the colors! What do the initials...

Adding my prayers of comfort and peace for you, TMS.

I love this idea, frugal-one! I like the idea of shaking up my old travel routines and this sounds like fun. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

The idea for the whole trip came when a sibling reserved tent sites at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon - so I headed off on a camping trip. LOL. ...

You can sign up for a "premium" type membership... I think it is $39.00/year and saves 10% each time. However, there is a military discount that is...

My anal-retentive self was keeping track... 4252.5 miles alone. I had plenty of time for contemplation, self-examination, etc. I learned a lot about...

Wow, bae. You always impress! So glad you got on top of this quickly! Hoping it all heals quickly.

Just got back from traveling and it has NOT been a frugal month! LOL. But it was a great trip, so all is well.

I agree that soup season is year long! LOL. Was visiting a cousin who made a very good egg drop soup that I'm hoping to duplicate soon.

Oh, rosa! Sorry for what you went through, but glad to hear your mom is doing better! Hugs to all.

Rave for KOA Campgrounds! Just got back from a cross-country trip and found the KOA campgrounds have some nice cabins and even inexpensive tent...
