Wyalkatchem Museum was very impressive. There were four large sheds full of old tractors and farm machinery and other rooms holding household items and memorabilia. There was room for items to be spaced out and everything looked...

Ali Canary Oh, I like the personal touches. Sounds like the museum doesn't take itself too seriously, and that appeals to me. I probably use "stuff" on a daily basis!

Ali Canary Wait, Middle Man came out a couple of years after Silk Degrees, and it had "Jojo" and "Breakdown Dead Ahead" on it - were those not top 20 songs? They got a lot of airplay on my local station!

Ali Canary I *do* remember this song, and I LOVED it!!! Such a cool, laid-back vibe. I actually love both his hits AND his lesser-known stuff. For every "Jojo", there's a "Miss Sun". For every "Lido Shuffle", there's a "Love Me Tomorrow" (my favorite Boz song, with a...

Ali Canary I might go to a gaming tournament (board games) in the last week of July, but I haven't decided, yet. If I don't go, I will enjoy having a couple of extra days off to spend with my friends and to do some chores and relax at home.

Ali Canary @JudyEv yep, we heard it here, too - I read about the conviction and remembered reading about it before. What an evil person! Those folks hadn't even had a problem with her - it was her ex whom she wanted to hurt.

Ali Canary @LindaOHio - yes, it was her ex-husband's family. But it's worse - she was actually planning FIVE murders, but the ex-husband didn't come and one person survived.

Ali Canary I like them okay. I have them on pizza, and on things like burgers and cheesesteak sandwiches. A friend showed me how to cook button mushrooms in the skillet with a sprinkle of salt, and I make them that way, sometimes. That lady in Australia who killed her...

Ali Canary It used to be a prank to pull up beside someone at a light, then reverse your car and back up a little (worked better if you had a friend in another car doing it on the other side) and watch the person stomp the brake, afraid their car was rolling!

Ali Canary Well, you pay the management company - the officers in the HOA aren't paid, but they're usually the neighbors who want to go on a little power trip :/

Ali Canary Yuck, that's really obnoxious. Those people are probably afraid it will "attract" homeless people. HOAs for basic neighborhoods aren't usually that expensive (ours is only about $200/year, total, and they don't bug me about anything), but they do get more...

Ali Canary @TheHorse probably. The North Africans I worked with were mostly from Morocco and spoke French fluently as well as Arabic, but there were also two from Algeria. One spoke French well and the other didn't, so I guess it depends on where you're from. They all...
