Dinosaurs never had coffee and look how that turned out. A coffee bean is my birthstone. I'm quirky, quiet, and an introvert.

Billy goat not so gruff

Judy Evans @JudyEv (353594) • Rockingham, Australia 14 May

Vince has a Facebook account and put up a photo of one of my sister’s little goats, saying it didn’t look very gruff, which got me thinking if some of today’s younger people would get the reference. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is...

Loretta I've read old fairy tales to my kids and grandkids. One of my granddaughters has been obsessed for years over goats. I haven't read the Brave Little Tailor but heard of it. Now I want to read it.

Coffee and Donuts

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (124325) • Gainesville, Florida 9 May

No, this isn't about what I had for breakfast, it's about some great deals I scored with coupons and sales. I am by no means as good as April (@thislittlepennyearns), but I'm still pretty proud of myself. Starbucks coffee, which...

celticeagle @celticeagle (174529) • Boise, Idaho 9 May

Misquito Repelling Plants

celticeagle @celticeagle (174529) • Boise, Idaho 9 May

I'm glad I am not one of the many who these little pests love to visit and harass constantly during summer activities outside. I don't need an excuse to plant things, but it is nice to know certain ones I have planted are keeping...

The Coolgardie safe and its connection to my home town

Judy Evans @JudyEv (353594) • Rockingham, Australia 9 May

Tonight's Dinner Is Very Questionable

Jim Bauer @porwest (99865) • United States 9 May

DE @DaddyEvil (148457) • United States 24 Apr

Toxic Tubers

celticeagle @celticeagle (174529) • Boise, Idaho 18 Apr

Potatoes are a favorite food of mine. I enjoy them boiled, baked, fried, smashed, or, at times, even raw. The most common type is the Russet, which is grown all over Idaho. They are best kept in cool, dark places for longer...
