Marie Coyle @marguicha When I moved the last time, I didn't have a choice and so there was no option for a gas stove. Now I have all electric. I do miss the stove, a lot.

I don't live far from a nearby grocery. Whenever I go there, I often see this car, that is parked in the employee part of the parking lot, so evidently whoever drives this thing, works there. Have to wonder...why would you do...

Marie Coyle @kareng I thought about how that doll would look, coming at you on the highway with it flattened against the grill of the car...some people honestly might think it's real, especially in the dark!

I took a lot of my sister-in-law’s surplus sewing items to my craft group this morning. The ladies there took a lot of the pieces and were very pleased to do so. Shown in the photo are dozens of hexagonal squares which were...

Marie Coyle It is just so nice that you have found people happy to have what your sister in law doesn't want anymore. It's so nice that the items will be used and enjoyed.

Marie Coyle @kareng Well, it's just not something that anyone sees, at least not around here. It's a definite distraction, I'm sure, if you meet that car with the baby staring at you when you approach in the other lane. Very unexpected!

Marie Coyle It just doesn't sound right somehow. I have a teacher friend here and she had jury duty recently, and was paid for it.

Marie Coyle It definitely draws attention to the car, I am rather surprised it's been on there for as long as it has (several months) as usually anything attached like that to a car never lasts that long.

Marie Coyle I wish people would learn the basics and care for their clothing and other belongings. I actually know people that throw things away if a button falls off. I was so astounded, I think my chin hit the floor. And as @GardenGerty stated in her response, there...

Marie Coyle Oh, wow...Lemon and rosemary sea salt sounds wonderful to be inventive with. I haven't seen or else not noticed this flavor. But it does sound really good.

Marie Coyle We have a few smaller fabric shops not terribly far away, we'll survive. I try to use them when I can, if it doesn't involve extra driving. The last time I looked, our Walmart stores (there are 4 within about a 15 mile radius) have about 5 bolts of fabric, so...

Marie Coyle @Bensen32 It's not spring yet here. We will have some warm days, but we almost always get a snow or two in March...and often in April, too. Like a yo-yo, up and down.
