Did I see the drones?

snowy @snowy22315 (182175) • United States 21 Dec

So, I was looking out my window a little bit before 8 AM and saw a group of what appeared to be (and probably were) 4 planes flying in a formation. We aren't on a flight path here and other than low flying jets you hear over the...

Not What I was Dreaming of.......

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (51359) • Canada 20 Dec

Good Morning 12/20 What was the last mess you made?

snowy @snowy22315 (182175) • United States 20 Dec

Unfortunately, yesterday I had two moderate size messes. I spilled half a container of raspberries for one. They weren't on the floor long so I employed the 5 second rule. Just to be safe, I rinsed them this AM. The other one was...

Trial Period

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (51359) • Canada 18 Dec

I'm loving this temporary tax-free period that the Canadian government has extended on some of our purchases. In my province of Ontario, we pay 13% taxes. That certainly adds up. The majority of the items on the exemption...

Anna Do not complain the sale tax in most European countries is a lot more than 13%, the average is 15%, but in France and Italy it is 20% on non food and non essential items.
