LillianPearl I'd like to think that I will. I signed up before my college classes resumed this fall. Classwork takes precedence, but it's nice to have a break and chat about things that I am interested in and maybe help others. That said, being a full time college...

LillianPearl My mom used to make sprouts at home when I was young. Of course it took me twenty-five years to appreciate them. Last summer, through our local co-op we got some of the BEST sprouts! Local and zesty! I put them in salads, on sandwiches (which I don't...

LillianPearl I'm in Ohio. I was driving when it hit us. I didn't feel it, but my hubby, who works outdoors, "saw" it. They were working on a clogged drain. That had ponding over it. He said it looked like it was boiling! Scary!
