Tomorrow I´ll go to see another house.

marguicha @marguicha (230639) • Chile 7h

The neighborhood is exactly what I like and the price is acceptable so I hope that the house itself is fine. I´ll go and see it at noon so I´ll write a post later, with a cup of tea. I´m keeping my fingers crossed.

Heather Echola You are having quite an adventure. I need to have one similar.

Do you live near one of these stores?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (63497) 22h

The stores I am referring to are called ''Restore'' which may sound a bit misleading. They are run by Habitat for Humanity, and in the US alone they are in nearly every state. There are some Restore places in other countries as...

Heather Echola I know where one is about an hour from me. The town I used to live in has their own version they call "Reuse It", but I do not have a really good way to purchase and haul items, or have them installed for me. I cannot find reliable handymen people around...

Heard from a former coworker today

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128086) • United States 6h

I used to work across the hall from her until she retired. She was there for me as I went though my divorce. She got to be pretty needy though and I just couldn't handle it so once she retired I kind of went off the radar....

Heather Echola You are still a youngster. I hope you can rekindle the friendship without getting caught up in her being needy again.

Probably Mow

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (141146) • Marion, Ohio 13h

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...

I found out why son wasn't interested in that job. He said they wanted him to work 56 hours a week, 6 days a week. Are you kidding me? It sounds like a construction sweatshop. I don't think any American would take that job. I mean...

Heather Echola He was very smart not to take that job. In this economy some people will likely take it. It is good your son has skills.

Do you have worms?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389160) • Rockingham, Australia 17h

We stayed with friends on the weekend and I saw something in the garden that I immediately wanted. There were two plastic tubes sunk in the garden with lids and they were ‘worm farms’ of a sort. Household waste is put into the...

Heather Echola How cool. I think the clay one is probably better as it is porous and more natural. Let us know more about your worms.

Are you a Debbie Downer?

Amber @AmbiePam (128324) • United States 17h

I was thinking about this after reading a discussion here, and it brought to mind a guy I know. Whatever the situation, he sees the negative. He’s so bad, I remember his friend got a new pair of shoes when she found a sale. He...

What's your favorite way to have your potatoes?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (63497) 27 Sep

My kids and grands love potatoes. No matter what, when we get together, I am usually elected to fix the potatoes, and if gravy is required, make the gravy. I think their favorite is mashed with gravy. But they are very fond of...

Heather Echola Now I am hungry and want a potato. My favorite is whatever is ready. Today, at noon, it will be potato with pork roast and carrots. I eat when I am bored or overwhelmed.

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

I am not tech-savvy. I lost the remote for the TV like a week ago and I have no idea how. Whatever thanks to the power of Amazon Prime I had a new one within hours. I got it all paired up and life went on. Tonight I went to turn...

Amber @AmbiePam (128324) • 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...

Oh the scale is not your friend

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128086) • United States 26 Sep

So many people weigh themselves daily or weekly and are so proud to report that they lost a pound or even less. I just roll my eyes and think "no you just took a crap and there's that pound". I've done weight loss challenges...

Heather Echola I weigh myself daily and then ignore it. I got in this habit when hubby's doctors wanted him weighed daily to track if he was retaining fluids. Because he did. When I am up a little and it stays up I know I had better do better. If it is down a little and...

Midnight Snack

Amber @AmbiePam (128324) • United States 26 Sep

I guess at 12:15am, it really is a midnight snack. I had mozzarella dipped in pesto on a garlic cracker. It was absolutely delicious. I don’t normally eat this late, but I was hungry. What’s your choice for a midnight snack?

Heather Echola If I am hungry at bedtime I want to have a little protein, just like you did with the cheese stick. I have nothing in particular, sometimes I will have a little peanut butter on a cracker.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128086) • United States 25 Sep
