One of my connections posted to an old discussion of mine. I thought it was a recent old discussion, because I had posted to a same topic lately. It was about Robins. It was nice to see the discussion awoken, but it also was kind...

JoyfulOne @GardenGerty I had heard that there was some problems before, and that it wasn't the same anymore. So glad to read that it's gotten better. Hahaha, I'm picturing you jumping :D (Although it would be funnier to see me jumping...I'd be kissing the floor in 3...

Fabric is so expensive these days! I swear...30 years ago it was dollar a yard or so! Now it is $10 a yard! I just don't know how people can afford to sew anymore! But, I keep looking and watch for sales and things like that....

JoyfulOne I don't know about other Walmarts, but ours here has a huge variety of colors and patterns, and all the different sizes. They do have the packaged sets, but I always like to buy just the flat sheets (unless they're actually for a bed and not some other sewing...

Do you have a spice rack or, like me, an entire shelf in a cupboard of spices? I like spicy food, especially Indian food, and I'm lucky enough to have a good Indian supermarket nearby where the spices are cheap but very good so...

JoyfulOne Doing great! Hope you and yours are too! I wondered about that, thanks. I do get a few from the Dollar General too, and yes, quite often they have those weird bottoms. I do have a lot of McCormick ones though, as well as those short stubby round ones (like...

JoyfulOne Hi dee:D I've seen those spice racks advertised on TV and have thought about getting them. Do the standard sized spices in cans and bottles fit into them well? Seems like it'd be a whole lot easier than the method I have now (which is just old square...

I've always loved Rice Krispie cereal as well as the Rice Krispie treats they make. But, the homemade ones have always been my favorite. For some reason they just taste so much fresher and less sugary and processed than the ones...

JoyfulOne Yeah, it's a fun recipe to experiment with! Haven't tried fruity pebbles, but that sounds good too. Oh, and if you're using wax paper, just take a stick of butter (margarine), unwrap one end, and lightly stroke the paper with it, and it doesn't stick as bad. I...

JoyfulOne I was going to make a Western style hat rack from it and sell it. Those kind with perfect horns are hard to come by lol. I used to make stuff to order, people would show me a pic, and I'd reproduce it for them (You shoulda seen the 4 foot peace pipe I made and...

One of the things I hate most is finding bits and pieces on the floor, I mean nuts, bolts, nails or other small undefined items. If I get them before the sweeper does I place them in a container on the counter, the main trouble...

JoyfulOne You'd laugh if you saw my workshop. Some things I have not a clue what they're really called (even though I know what kind of part they are, and what to use them for), so I have a bins marked: thing-a-ma-bobs, whatcha-call-it's, whizzies, hoo-dingies, etc. I...

JoyfulOne Hi bluedoll. What I always did was take the used car for a test drive to my favorite local mechanic (who I know is honest and has never steered me wrong...pun intended.) One car I test drove and took to him, he discovered 'the car must have been in an...

What do you do when you hit a snag? Do you let it bother you or do you keep on trekking? I used to let it bother me, but I won't let it this time. I've hit a bit of a snag, but I guess I should have figured I would. If I let it...

JoyfulOne Ah, didn't realize you were moving. When I move I always get boxes from grocery stores, liquor stores or convenient. My son-in-law just got me a whole bunch, for packing, from a big restaurant. Lol, they were actually happy to get rid of them:-)

My first day in which the children did what I said when I said when subbing. Wonderful. My first day of not wearing a bandana or scarf because my hair has finally filled in enough. Kind of scary, but also a relief. My first time...

JoyfulOne If I can add something on the raccoons...I had a huge problem with them getting into my garage (I live on a farm and the woods is real close.) I found out that if I sprayed my floors and rafters of the garage with a weak solution of regular ammonia water, it...

JoyfulOne Try Ewell's 'Stalking the wild asparagus', that one's pretty good too. It's also the one that got me really enthused. I can't do YouTube (dial-up), but I would have loved to check those out! Rose hips: best if you wait to pick them until after the first...

JoyfulOne Peavey, I do eat a lot of purslane too. I never thought about using it instead of poppy seed in breads! Wow, thanks for putting that in there. I will definitely try that too.

JoyfulOne In addition to my big one, I have one of those small ones too. You're right, they're real handy for melted sauces and fondue type fare. I'm thinking of going with the oval ones right now, just seems like I could fit different stuff in it easier. Chicken...

JoyfulOne Mornin' Coffeebreak. Yes, size does make a difference. I'm pretty sure I'll have to stick to about the same size I've got, makes just enough for us. Curious, you said the ribs didn't work in the oval one as well? I just tried those in my round one the other...

JoyfulOne That's got to be handy throwing it into the dishwasher, makes for easy clean-up. I don't have a dishwasher, but having it removable would be a huge help for me. The old one I have has the crock built in, and it's great for cooking in, but washing it is always...

JoyfulOne I have an upright right now, and I was thinking oval this time around, and definitely with a removable pot liner. Never thought about incubating yogurt in a crock pot, I will have to check that out. Seems that's got to be a lot cheaper than buying it, and it'd...

JoyfulOne Ooooooo! Thank you for that Trvl! I did not know they even had ones with a seal for transporting it. Now, that is a feature that would be real handy, especially for those family parties, and community parties, where you have to bring a dish to pass. Under $24...
