Camp Journal, My Mother and Memories

PaintsOnSlate @PainsOnSlate (21852) • Canada 25 Apr 16

My sister and I started to camp together with our small children back in 1986. Our mother died in late 1986. She had Parkinson's Disease. When mom was ready to retire from teaching, she was hit by Parkinson's, a terrible...

Mad Crochet Scientist What a wonderful and sentimental gift your mom left behind. I love what you said about "we are pleased to have her with us on our adventures." I've been meaning to start a camping journal and that is what I'll be doing this year. Thanks for reminding me...

Exploring Medium as a Blog Promotion Site

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 20 Feb 16

I had heard from a friend that the site medium.com is a good place to promote one's writing on other sites. I'm not sure what I was expecting to find, but not that I already had an account on a site I'd only heard about a few...

Mad Crochet Scientist I'm wondering if you've had more time there and what your thoughts are? I did a little looking around and found interesting articles and spent more time reading there than I intended to! LOL. The site has a great Alexa score and over a million daily...

I just joined tsu.co and i'm thinking about closing it, i may be wrong but i think they send you a check of 100 dollars every 60 days but you have to make that much on there. I have no idea how to get paid on there on when they...

Mad Crochet Scientist I'm not active on there anymore. After over a year and owning two of my own groups, I never got to the point of being able to cash out. That part didn't really bother me since I was not there for the ad revenue, but when I saw all the favoritism and that...

Cooking In The Rain.

PaintsOnSlate @PainsOnSlate (21852) • Canada 13 Apr 16

The photos you are looking at are our camp with tent , pop ups for comfort and the fireplace in one and our fireplace while camping where our dinner was being cooked covered with aluminum foil in the rain. Usually we put up a...

Mad Crochet Scientist My husband and I did the tent thing for years but as we are getting older, we didn't want to do all that setup anymore or sleep so close to the ground, so we bought a tiny vintage trailer, which really doesn't require any setup so we can start relaxing sooner....

Still Cold - So I'm Crocheting Slippers!

Kyla Matton Osborne @Ruby3881 (1963) • Canada 5 Apr 16

It's still chilly here in our little valley, although the weather is supposed to be positively balmy by Thursday. I'm snuggled up under a blanket, and I've decided to crochet a pair of comfy slippers to warm my feet. So if I seem...

Mad Crochet Scientist I read your title too fast and though it said you were crocheting spiders! I scratched my head and looked again and am relieved to find you are making slippers because I can't see how spiders would help you stay warm. LOL. Will you post a pic of them when...

Season Finale of TWD (SPOILERS)

Jillybean1222 @jillybean1222 (6407) 4 Apr 16

Could there really be any spoilers when we don't know what actually happened? Anyway.... So yes, I waited with rabid anticipation to watch last night's season finale. I spent all of last week thinking and theorizing only to...

Mad Crochet Scientist I have to agree with others who said it probably isn't a main character at the end of Lucille. I doubt it was Carl because Negan said if anyone moved to take Carl's other eye and feed it to his father. So to me, for that to even be possible, it would not be...

Start a gratitude practice

Lee Ka @kaka135 (14931) • Malaysia 5 Apr 16

My husband is attending a Buddhism teaching course weekly, and there is assignment for each week. The assignment for this week is to practice gratitude - whenever you meet someone or something has happened, think of gratitude,...

Mad Crochet Scientist I used to write down three things I was grateful for each day. At first it was hard to come up with something but I let myself put down anything, even if it seemed silly at first. Then it got much easier. I even joined a site where people were doing this...

Mad Crochet Scientist Good for you! The meal sounds great. If you are looking for other easy meals, try some crock pot recipes! I love using my crockpot for easy homecooked meals. One simple one is to put frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot along with a jar of your favorite...

Exercise and Sweating Make You Attractive

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161165) • United States 4 Apr 16

Have you ever wondered why mosquitoes like some people more than others and others get more bites? I always assumed they just did not like me. I had always heard taking B vitamins repels them. It is something that I do take, all...

Mad Crochet Scientist I often wondered why when I was outdoors with either my sister or my husband that they would get eaten alive while I remained relatively untouched by mosquitos. But now I can say I'm happy that "somebody" doesn't consider me attractive. LOL. It's certainly...

Mad Crochet Scientist It can be a real pain to count calories but you can keep a daily diary of what you do eat and then figure out how many calories it was later so that you can make better choices in the future. There is a free app called myfitnesspal which a lot of people have...

Do you have a ghost in your house?

Kevin @kevin1877uk (36988) 1 Apr 16

Do you have a ghost in your house? I’ve often thought, where I currently am living does there is a ghost. One of my housemates mentioned it not too long ago and before then it didn’t feel right. Many of you know I’m up late into...

Mad Crochet Scientist I don't really believe in ghosts the way most people do, anyway. But I love paranormal shows and movies. I've never seen one and if there is one where I live now, they haven't made themselves known in the 16+ years I've been here. And that's okay with me....

Mad Crochet Scientist What a relief to find out it was a joke. You must have been very anxious worrying about not just the money but also that he could be in trouble at work. You should make him treat you out to a nice dinner to make up for it now! LOL

Speaking of Mice

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21744) • Canada 2 Apr 16

A Dog A Day @adogaday (10) • Stoke On Trent, England 1 Apr 16
