Good night!

Judy Story @jstory07 (145040) • Roseburg, Oregon 5h

It was 100F here today which made it way to hot to do anything or go any place. I am glad no one wanted us to take them anywhere. Nor did we want to go anywhere. It is now down to 76F and I went outside in the dark to water....

vikingswest That's interesting. I liked the video because it showed the actual height. I have read that some Monarchs had two bed rooms. One ornate and extravagant for public viewing and another attached room where they actually slept. Since most of a Monarchs life was...

What No One Tells You About Adulting

Ms.Chelle @Chellezhere (6259) • United States 14h

Maybe it’s my age showing—or just too much time on my hands—but I’m impressed by the two Walmart $2.97 Deluxe Cooler Shopping Tote Bags I bought today. They’re much better quality than the ones I got at Tops Friendly Markets a few...

vikingswest A spoon, a fork and a butter knife, lol. It's leftover from a partial set my mom gave to me in 1984 when I was first married. *looks both ways* I sometimes even wash them by hand to use them at a meal, lol. Don't tell anyone though, they may call me strange.

vikingswest I've never tried their brisket but the fully cooked ribs and pulled pork are pretty good. I will have to try the brisket next time. I like the idea of pulling out what you need and saving the rest. Is it frozen or thawed? Can it be frozen?
