brimia Yes, I just finished too. I always stress myself out about it as well. I still have to wait for a few gifts to be delivered that I ordered online. It's definitely easier shopping online for most gifts instead of fighting crowds at the stores/malls. What also...

Ripening Avocado

TeamCholent @TeamCholent (2832) • United States 4 Apr 10

I bought a few Avocados and wanted to make a dip with them but they are not ripe yet. Can anyone suggest some easy and quick ways to ripen them sooner?

brimia I just made avocado dip myself a few minutes ago. I love avocado. My problem is often the opposite...they ripen too fast and I have to hurry and use them. I have also heard of putting them in a paper bag in a dark warm place.

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43903) • Cambridge, England 10 Apr 09

brimia Yes, it seems I'm sewing buttons back on all the time. I also resew seams and occasionally socks. If it's an article of clothing I like and/or something I know I'll still get a lot of use out of, it's definitely worth mending.
