they record all 911 calls, that sort of thing will get you into heaps of trouble... even if meant as a joke and it was funny still don't ever do it.

arguing with someone for two days (who's actually read the manual) about changing to a heavier needle in the sewing machine... and yes, finally got to change the needle this morning and it helped and she was able to get her quilts finished she was working on.

it is a combination of factors to prevent ice building up. i do not use any ice-melt, sand or salt. most important, get it shovelled before you walk or drive on it and if it does get driven on use a metal flat blade to scrape that off. i use a big shovel to push the snow as much as possible...

i haven't done that for a long time. i don't know if it is that my body has adapted to the targeted compounds or if it really doesn't matter, but because i've not suffered any obvious problems i don't worry about it. we do drain off "the sludge" as Mom calls it, i personally like it and...

sure if you want to fiddle about. :) i prefer to keep it simple, start your water to boil before you sort and rinse the beans (removing any off colored beans, dust, etc.), when the water is boiling add your beans and lower to a simmer, stirring a few times before they settle down. then stir...

@Shades-of-Oregon i sure understand that sentiment too as cleaning/housework is the last thing i want to do. to make it a little easier on myself sometimes i just spot clean a little and that can be enough before i return to some other thing instead. our weather here is a bit snowy and windy...

great to hear, thank you! :) it is nice to see some color on a snowy day.

cold and crisp this morning for trash day. glad i was only out there for a few moments.

some of moisture from the recent storms has made it over to the Rockies where they keep track of their snowpack like the arid country dwellers they are. it has boosted the percentage of normal from 45% to 70% over the past few days. now they are heading into a more warmer and rainy spell which...

a little snow last night and this morning, the sun is coming out now so i'll go out and shovel while it is early enough to get the sun to melt off what is left. Mom is using her new mixer to make cookies and since i didn't hear any cursing or the smoke detector going off it has been ok. i did...

rambly morning post, i'm not going to redo/rewrite it, good luck, you've been warned... :) i really can't tell from the description what went on. perhaps the dog was ill or had a stroke or the man did something to the dog while they were out walking because he knew the dog was on it's last...

*makes uhuh face* i've been there and done it and pretty much got over it rather quickly. i really dislike noise and loud noise in the morning is even worse. this is not a surface level thing i can often ignore or want to ignore - but yes if i'm hungry and that is all that's available i'll...

thank goodness they forgive you or forget that you failed them. or do they?...

not really things i want unless it is a chocolate malt.

sorry to hear about husband's medical troubles @ruralmamma. sure hope that gets taken care of soon if possible! yes, it sure has been a humdinger of a year...

nice! is this an expansion or just replacement? :)

thank you. :) another week drying won't hurt them and might still be a good idea. with the furnace heat on now they should be dry enough either way.

we had a light dusting of snow and it was a full moon shining on me a few minutes ago. today is sunny with a high of 20F. i'll go out for a few minutes this morning and shovel just to make sure there's some spots of bare cement for Mom to drive on. hopefully it will all be gone when the sun...

@Blue-Jay are you taking network seed returns yet? i had some later network beans that had not fully dried down yet but they are probably all dried by now. so if you are taking returns again i can check them this week and get them sent back to you.
