Ali Canary @LindaOHio you'd be surprised what can be recycled, though. I work for a very eco-friendly company, and we have bins at work where we can drop old computer stuff (Goodwill won't even take it, even though it still works) and clothing that is worn out or...

I dreamt about wildflowers meadows full of the beautiful flowers in all colors. Walking beneath the summer sun I admired their beauty and strolled barefoot through the meadow. Then as I came awake I still had a picture of these...

Ali Canary This makes sense to me. Even if you have money, why not use things that you already paid for? They were meant to be used.

Ali Canary I think as long as what you have brings you joy and not stress, then that is absolutely fine, and really a good way to live. It's when it affects your quality of life that it becomes a problem.

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.
