NanaL41 I delete my spam one email at a time, as some of my email from friends is sometimes sent to spam. But for the last two days, I have hit the delete all button instead of the delete button and have lost all of it. I just hope none of my regular email has...

NanaL41 I am not superstitious. I think they are funny. Old wives tales. My mother in law swore by many of these. One of them was that if your child had a hernia at the navel, you split a hickory tree (small one, I am sure lol) with it still growing. Split it far...

NanaL41 The love of money is the root of all evil, is my opinion. Some people only live for their money, and what material things they can buy. When people use that money to help others, then the happiness will come. When they store it away and save it, grabbing...

NanaL41 I did not get to watch it. I was sure looking forward to it. HGTV is my favorite channel on TV. I love all of their shows. But I did see the clips from it. I hope they continue to do things like that, but with the economy such as it is, maybe build...
