I am actually making new trees as we speak. I am rooting cuttings and have four tulip trees I am trying to get going, along with two hazelnut trees....

I am going to try one thing a day for a while. Maybe I will be able to do that, then work up to two, then three.

But of course it will. The goal is to return everyone to a white-male dominated workplace and a white-male dominated culture. It is all about...

I absolutely get that, happystuff. Very hard for me to spend that security blanket in the bank. My husband spent a big chunk on a new vehicle and I...

I ended up teaching college English and Psychology, starting in 1981 and still at it. Most of those years adjuncting, so no decent money and no...

Personally, I hated Covid isolation. The worst was the masks as I have COPD. I just ended up not going anywhere. Grateful everyday that I can be...

Took 4 bags of books and puzzles to the Goodwill, along with two shirts.

Went to our local library today and there was a handout asking us to write our representatives. The illegal withholding of Maine's funding by the...

Very cool! I might try that when my garlic blooms!

I was so happy and surprised when they selected him. I lived in Chicago for thirty years, so it feels like the hometown boy got elected pope. I...

So true! We like to eat a sandwich or a bowl of haddock chowder there, too, a cheap meal out.

You crash the market, your friends buy. You pump the market, your friends sell. You keep repeating.

Here's something on it from Bloomberg via Wallstreetbets: US, China to Cut Some Tariffs for 90 Days: Live News on Trade Talks - Bloomberg

Black fly season has started. I have a hard welt on my neck already.

Been trying to fix my car cd player myself to avoid buying a new radio. It's been broken for 11 years. Bought a car of compressed air and a...

Just going to tag onto your garden thread here to say my potatoes are doing really well. I had a 5 gallon bucket leftover from last year and they...

Thank you so much for the update, it is much appreciated. Praying for your comfort and peace, and the new treatment sounds very good. Also happy...

We'll probably keep ours at this point because we live rather remotely and the landline works when we lose power, which is often, and I feel a whole...

Don't people at large find Andy Brashear charismatic? I guess he is not charismatic enough for me to spell his name right, though.

My peonies, planted from roots at the end of last summer, are only 3 inches tall right now.

Just gorgeous, and your view is wonderful, too. Really smashing the setting.

That's a cool idea, to do it in November. That has become the start of my financial year with respect to tithing and planning for the next year. ...

He does not sound very good at all. That's completely unreasonable. Mine has increased over the years but I have also been working, so that makes...

Thanks! I know the inherited IRAs have to be emptied in 10 years, so that is very similar, just a shorter time frame. I inherited about five...

Happystuff, I followed my guru Catherine and got the Plan G (she had plan F but it was not available anymore) and got it through Aarp. It is...

Are you 65 yet, happystuff?

For sure. I just bought a few shares of EBAY. It isn't doing very well right now, but we'll see--I just bought my granddaughters 1966 Barbies and a...

I never thought about food falling onto the freezer seal but it makes sense.

Thanks so much for the replies--my theory was we have more fresh food and it does tend to get forgotten at bottom plus as Catherine said, you open...

I really liked this idea of Amazon's.

Nice! one look at your photos, and they will want you there forever!

Honestly, I would take that as someone from the other side trying hard to contact me. That is amazing.

How about Lily Dale in upstate New York? I was thinking of trying to go there this summer, as have been wanting to for several years now.

I picked this for the last song for my mother's funeral: Bing Videos

We just watched Ludwig, the whole season. Very enjoyable.

I love that Vera Lynn song and that is a great funeral song.

Yes, I don't want to get down to 30 books, honestly. I need to recount mine.

You are doing such a good job with this! I really admire you. Hang in there, my friend.

Made a new recipe to me, dumpling salad--you cook potstickers and combine with a prepackaged Asian salad mix from the grocery-- it was super easy and...

I'm working my way through it while grading--this is fascinating, to see the behaviors that led to the debt, and connecting them, and she's fifty. I...

That's terrific!!!

Listening right now. I always like to see what they are earning and what they are spending--she has a great income and I can't believe she has 400k...
