We have a ceiling-mounted drying rack at home and that’s where I hang up the washing in winter. Yesterday I was taking down the dry things, then I went round with the basket, distributing clothes to their owners. And I found I was...

Jo Ann That is funny but I wonder if there is something that someone in your house is not telling you. Hm, stick the tights away somewhere and see if any more clothing mysteriously shows up at your house.

Jo Ann Could you make sure the battery is inserted the right way? It may have been put in backward to save the charge. If you really love everything else, maybe you could get a new battery.

Jo Ann There was a problem with undelivered mail in Florida. Some of the mail was left in woods or fields. Some was in attics or garages of employees. It was like a scandal. We are getting mail regularly here. I did have a problem with my mail but it was because I...

Jo Ann Get it replaced. Go to the Amazon settings and click return. Explain the problem, and they will probably return the money to the card. I did that with some medications I bought. They had been opened and some were missing. We are not supposed to use them if...

Jo Ann Your puzzle looks difficult, with so many colors and designs. You must be good at it especially since they mixed up photos of the puzzle. I used to do them in my pre-internet days. I enjoyed them. I liked the big ones and bought puzzles with fewer pieces for...

Jo Ann I do procrastinate all the time. When there are a lot of things, do the easiest and quickest first. You will feel like you accomplished something. Then work on the most important things that need to be done first.

Jo Ann I saw coyotes close to the house when I lived in Zephyrhills. They were trying to get into the garbage bins. I shouted at them and they took off in a hurry. I think coyotes are everywhere and they are hungry and snarly. It is best to keep a close watch on...
