Trying To Decide

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (141162) • Marion, Ohio 27 Sep

What would look good in this stump next year. I plan on planting tomatoes around the base of it. Hopefully they will do good there. I can tie them up against the stump as they grow. But something in the center would make it...

Juliaacv I think that is a great idea, what about planting some marigolds in the center of it? That was the first thought that crossed my mind.

My next door neighbor is building an addition on his house

snowy @snowy22315 (213515) • United States 9h

It seems funny he is doing this because that house is pretty big for two people. I still have yet to see the wife, and they have lived there probably 3 years. Actually, to be honest most of my neighbors the wives are scarce..You...

Juliaacv That seems like it will be large, maybe they have family moving in with them.

Probably Mow

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (141162) • Marion, Ohio 15h

Hopefully with the cooler weather it will be the last. That's one thing about summer that gets boring. And we haven't had a slow down this year. Often it's every other week in August and September that we mow. This year has still...

Goodnight guys

Michael @Wrexxo (8426) 27 Sep

It's 10:44 p.m. It's time for bed. I just finished dinner, noodles and a boiled egg. Temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, so it's a pretty comfortable night. Today was a normal day. I went to my shop and opened up, though I got...

I’m So Relieved

Amber @AmbiePam (128330) • United States 27 Sep

I had a migraine late last night, and I took my last migraine pill. I don’t have any refills, and it’s a few more days before I can ask my doctor to call one in. Thankfully, and I’m not sure how it is everywhere, but when it comes...

Juliaacv Just having that medication must be a relief that could potentially prevent you from taking another migraine. I hope that it provides you the peace of mind that you need so that you can relax and get back to being Amber. My pharmacist does the very same thing....

The Internet Really is a Wealth of Information

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (56) • United States 27 Sep

I have a trip coming up in about 24 days, so I'm starting to prepare for it. Not all airlines have the same baggage allowances (height, weight, depth, width) so I have to check with the airlines I'll be taking. And inevitably...

Juliaacv The airline websites are very helpful when it comes to that sort of thing. I found myself doing the very same thing before my first flight last spring.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128086) • United States 27 Sep

Juliaacv You're still doing it out of passion NJ. Your passion is baking, but also teaching and the common ground that you've established with so many students over the years of doing baking club has to be so therapeutic. These are skills and memories that they will...

Have You Known Many Alcoholics?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (56) • United States 27 Sep

I've been around a few alcoholics in my life. They were all what you would call "functional alcoholics" in that they were still able to hold jobs and live life, but always needed a drink in their hand. I've known a few "sloppy...

Juliaacv It is prevalent on my Dad's side of the family. I believe one of my brothers has a problem with drinking, but that is his battle, I'd refer to him as my brother first before labeling him (or anyone) as an alcoholic.

Juliaacv You made me hungry, that sounds simply delicious. I usually do a roast of some kind on Sundays, but today will be T-Bone steaks. They take a fair amount of time, and since I do not work on Sundays, I thought that it would be nice since I will not have to rush....

Juliaacv I remember a vet once told me that when we see a cat doing that, it means that they are totally happy, peaceful and at ease. Tuffy is all of that, plus cute when kneading her paws like that.

The windows are closed and the humidifier is back in action

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128086) • United States 27 Sep
