Recently I had a friend ask if she could stay with me temporarily. It would seem that she was having to drive from out of town to work and the cost of her gas was outweighing the payment she was receiving. Her roommate at the time...

edjump K, I completely agree with wolfie on this. It is NOT too late to set her down and have an open and HONEST talk with her. I say HONEST, because, at that point, YOU have to be HONEST with her !!! You can diplomatically avoid bringing up your missing property,...

edjump I totally agree with you Beki. When our government started the program of requiring everything to be printed in English AND Spanish, I feel that it sent entirely the wrong message. When English was the only language printed people coming here felt obligated to...

edjump My wife was born and raised in Forrest City, NC, so AR is second nature to her. For me, Arkansas is chock full of new and wondrous people and country. I've never felt so at home, or so in love with the world around me as I am here !!!

edjump We keep our cat indoors except when he wants out. At that time we put his harness and a leash on him and walk with him. The dogs are kept in a fenced yard when they aren't inside the house.

edjump Hi Hatley, thank you for your response. Yes, growing up in a small town was wonderful. In Arvada, Colorado, where I was raised, the population was about 3,000 as I went through school. By the time time I started High School(1969), the population had exploded...

edjump Thank you for the welcome Sunkissed. The weather here certainly beats Colorado, although, with all this rain lately, I believe that my toes are starting to get webs between them. I was glad to see you use the name, "Arky"!!! My godfather was from Little Rock,...

edjump Thank you for the welcome, and the helpful info Michelle. Naw, we aren't famous for anything here. I think that's probably a blessing though. Even that "15 minutes of fame" can bring a lot of growth and a lot of problems to a wonderfully peaceful lifestyle. I...

edjump Thank you Nova. I grew up on the "front range", Arvada, to be exact. My wife Nell, and I lived in Buena Vista for 3 years and then moved over to Palisade, 12 miles east of Grand Jct., where we had been for the last 7 years. Yes, Colorado is beautiful, but it...

edjump The advantage I have is that my wife Nell, is an old "ridge runner" from Forest City, NC. So, it was easy for her to move. She doesn't care for the hustle and bustle of city life either. Our closest Walmart is 28 miles away.
