We just got back from a nice vacation, where we got to visit with our friends and attend the wedding of two of our friends. This was back in the area where my fiance and I both lived for about 9 years before moving to Seattle...

moonshadow68 You know, I still think of Michigan as home even though I haven't lived there since 1991. Carbondale has never really felt like home.
However, after a vacation I do love to get back to my routine. Even ahving unobtrusive houseguests (you guys were great!)...

moonshadow68 Ditto with the person above me about freecycle. The only problem is that you usually have to pick it up. I got an excellent used couch that way and some clothes. I also got rid of a ton of stuff that way too.
But after 20+ years, if you want the captain's...

My fiance and I went to see "The Dark Knight" last night at the midnight showing. It was the first movie I've ever gone to see at a midnight showing, and I almost couldn't stay awake for it! I was just SO tired by the end that it...

moonshadow68 Damn raccoon!!! If it wasn't already dead...
That was the worst ever, though I think midnight shows do get a lot of those glitches. Thankfully, I just avoid them now.

moonshadow68 My condolences to your family friend. Sadly, most people do not understand that the eye is a direct conduit to the brain and these things can happen very rapidly. When I worked in the eye doctor's office, we often had to rush people to the hospital because...

A bunch of friends got together on Saturday night. The plan was originally that the guys were going to play video games while the girls worked on crafts. Well, as it turned out, it ended up being a mixed group of folks playing...

moonshadow68 I can't beleive you guys bought a PS3! T. wanted to be loyal to Sony but the allure of Dead Rising was too much, so we got an Xbox 360. He loved Mass Effect,Gears of War, and Assassin's Creed (except for the stupid glitch).
Rock Band looks super cool, but it...

These are definitely ruby throated hummingbirds, common in the eastern U.S.

So even though we've lived in Washington for over a year now, we still have our Illinois cell phone numbers. Well, after this morning, I'd really like to change mine ASAP.
I was making my lunch, and I thought I heard a phone...

moonshadow68 Noooooo....no changing your number..then I have to remember (or write downa nd remember where I wrote down) new digits. Actually, the funny thing is, my phone rang at 8:15 this morning and I had a very similar thought about what idiot is calling me at 8 in the...

moonshadow68 Marie--
Etsy has never been my thing, but I have a friend who does very well there with her crochet and other random crafts. Her store is: scarywhitegirl Or maybe that's just her user name. She has tons of cute and unique stuff, but more importantly the etsy...

I have a printer that uses separate cartridges for color and black ink. The color cartridge is reading empty but the black cartridge still has a little ink, but it won't let me print anyway.
Why is it forcing me to replace...

I ended up with three blisters after my friends' wedding yesterday--two on my feet, from wearing shoes with no socks, and one on my BACK, where my strapless bra must have pinched or rubbed my skin strangely.
At any rate, I need...

moonshadow68 Okay, conventional wisom is that lancing and draining creates an open spot and can lead to infection while if you just cover them and let them be, the body reabsorbs the irritation and you heal faster.
But personally, especially the one on your back, I'd take...

moonshadow68 Do you think it's related to the age of your machine? You didn't get a new one yet, did you? I mean, I think it's older than most of the people responding here :)
Seriously though, you might want to try cutting your material with pinking shears as they seem...

When you meet someone new, or the subject of age comes up, do you tell the truth, or fib a little?
Personally, I've never had a problem telling people how old I was. This is probably because people usually assume I'm younger...
