wow, that's beautiful now!

One of the coolest things I have found with this old house is digging up stuff in the backyard when we garden. I have found two axe heads, lots of...

That's funny, I do like that movie and watch it every year and missed it!

Sorry, I meant are we on the earlier one or the later one?

Thank you, it's par for the course up here that the weather is so unreliable at the holidays. I was saying to husband if I knew we were going to...

Rogar, that does sound great, and the book list is such a good idea for a dinner party! We ended up staying home snowed in and then lost power, but...

Which one are we celebrating today?

I just got a catalogue in the mail from the Southwest Indian Foundation out of Santa Fe, which sells jewelry. They are also a foundation and you can...

This is brilliant, Tradd, way to go. I did this several years ago and keep all my emergency money there where it does collect some interest, varying...

Extremely fortunate to have been invited to son's and will have a great day; am bringing pies.

I will check this out. I heard an NPR story about Amazon returns with a woman who had written a book about it, I think. Really stops you in your...

Wow, Rosa. Was it a male or female? Back in Beaufort, a male embezzled about 20,000 that had been raised to start a dog park.

That's great. My mom had a large account escheat to the state, and it took about six months, but we did finally get it, after a lot of follow up and...

Chocolate fudge ice cream was a hit and did turn out looking and feeling like ice cream. Recipe: 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk 6 T dutch...

Maybe we are back to the Robber Baron era. Will have to bone up on my Edith Wharton.

Lazarus wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. In 1880, immigrants represented 13.3% of the US...

Good for you! My son had so many legos-- now the grandchildren don't have any, it's weird. Maybe it skips a generation.

Maybe it's not Munchausen if it is a purely for profit thing, which hers seems to have been? Not quite sure.

Just finished it and it will take 8 hours to chill. Not totally convinced it is going to work. Don't think I got enough volume in the whipped...

I'm not okay with the kind of deportations you are okay with. I am not okay with children's lives being ruined, especially when they are my fellow...

I am going to try a no churn ice cream recipe so guess that is what husband will be having for supper. I will try it, but chocolate ice cream is not...

I guess he is the new Willie Horton.

I just went on Amazon to see what is out there and boy, there are so many cool lid variants, including wood, colored plastic, flip tops, spouts,...

Frugal, I hear you and that is really frustrating, but I don't think it's a north-south thing since it is exactly the same here in Maine, about as...

We've come a long way from Emma Lazarus' poem. I remember learning it in third grade in public school, back in the "old days" that the MAGA crowd...

Am going to try Anatomy of Lies on Peacock, about a Greys Anatomy writer who seems to have had Munchausen syndrome.

Yeah, I thought that too--it's like they are using the Hornberger Method from Thirty Rock.

Oh, okay, got it! I think I have both but they are out in the barn until I use them. I have a little shelf for them because I have blue and green. ...

Oh, TMS, I am so sorry.

I think my cars are round? What is a straight sided canning jar?

49%? With Nearly Half of U.S. Farmworkers Undocumented, Ending Illegal Immigration Could Devastate Economy - Newsweek

Rogar, I think what you are going to see is a lot of American citizens being mistakenly deported because they will round up anyone who appears...

I've let mine grow to about my collar and it's easier for me to handle--it's wavy and the length pulls out some of the curls and makes it easier to...

A "luxury belief" is just another canard peddled by right wing populists, the new cynics, the descendants of Huey Long, the same people that bring...

That's interesting, three different things: immigration perception that as a businessman better for the economy than government insiders the idea...

That is a smart low impact way to deter deer! Rosa, that might be something you could incorporate into your design!

Iris, he already has by putting Kavanaugh and Barrett on the Supreme Court. Do you support Trump now? What makes you want to support him?

In the case of your husband, Catherine, what makes him support Trump? Genuinely curious, as I know my son's in-laws support Trump because they are...

It sure is a lot, too much! Hang in there and try to get some time to rest.

We were just at a very cool orchard and their fence was 14 feet.

Wow, how fantastic and what fun! Plant some David Austin roses for me. When I was in college I was in the play Gaslight, and one of the lines...

Today's to-dos: Finish Christmas shopping for the kids and grandkids so can mail packages Put up one string of lights on my fence Finish getting...

I've just spent three years doing this around parents' estates so I have been grappling with the same material. We're not done yet, but hopefully...

We have lots of power outages here and I have learned to cook well on our woodstove top. I bought a charcoal grill for power outages in the summer...

That is really interesting! I was just talking to my son last week about whether he had ever seen a UFO and he remembered seeing something at our...

Well, not what I expected, but I appreciate the details, and sounds like I was wrong all along. Good to hear from somebody I trust.

WOW. Confirmation finally.

Thanks, Tradd, and thanks Catherine, you are so right about Bernie.

That's a bummer, but you are by all intents and purposes outta there and on to better things! I hear you about raises--I'm working at a place where...

I love this!

So do you think those people who were offended did as you did, and voted for a third party candidate, or do you think they voted for Trump?

Congratulations, what a great outcome, and so glad about your new job!

Took a set of dishes to my kids and a set to the Goodwill, along with some clothes to the Goodwill.

I had a flex steel couch when I had three small boys and that thing was indestructible!

Just a generalized rant that we are approaching the hardest time of the year, when it gets so cold. You wake up and look out the window at the...

Thanks, this is very interesting to me, as so few people here seem to want to say they wanted Trump, yet they were so focused on tearing Harris down,...

Thanks especially to my uncle, shot down over France and buried in the Normandy cemetery, and my dad, a Marine in Guadacanal, and my father-in-law,...

Is that related somehow to Forrest Gump?

That's good to hear! I am bypassing all shots this year due to my extremely inflammatory reactions to things. My doctor was glad I drove and didn't...

Well God help us, that's all I can say.
