My only real issues I have come across are having the right stores that supply at the right prices and with what you need to craft with at the right times within your budget. If you are on a fixed budget and must watch every penny...

palonghorn That's one reason I got into the business, selling scrap booking supplies, the closest Micheals or Hobby Lobby is 95 miles from here. Walmart carries some of the basics, but it can be hit and miss. What type of supplies are you looking for, I know of several...

palonghorn Whatever happened to the old saying "Loose lips sink ships!" I just love how our government tells the media everything and then media puts it out there so Everyone knows exactly what we are planning to do and how we are going to do it!

palonghorn I agree, the Homeland Security is a joke, and it is a waste of money. You want interesting reading, read the Patriot Act sometime, it should raise your blood pressure a few notches. I like how they added "However they insisted the practice was aimed not at...

I am always shocked at the number of people who do not grasp what a puppy mill is!! I find it even more shocking how many people buy animals from petshop and don't realize or for that matter even care where the animals are...

palonghorn Some people are never going to care about it, and there is no way to 'make' them understand. I first heard the term 'puppy mill' 7 years ago after moving to Pennsylvania, prior to that I had not heard of them. And unless you can wipe out greed for money, you...

Today was one of the hottest days of the summer this year in our area. It was miserably hot outside that when you walk outside it felt like you were walking into a sauna. Today we spent time indoors. It was much more comfortable...

palonghorn Summer hasn't actually got here yet. But when it is hot, I usually try to do yardwork, or outside activities in the morning, and spend the hottest part of the day either inside in air conditioning or at the pool. However, sometimes those plans don't work out...

What is the biggest move you have done. I just moved a 6 day drive. And it is so stressful. I have to change my licence over and car plates and only have 30 days but only so much free time. How do you make moves less stressful

palonghorn The biggest move I made was 1500 miles, was there for 4 years and then moved back 1500 miles. But whether it is a long distance move or just to a new place in the same city, moving can be stressful, unless you do some pre-planning. I start by making a list of...

palonghorn When I need directions, or am taking a different route on a trip, I check mapquest and/or a map. I don't even use a gps. I have known how to read maps since I was young, and once I've been somewhere, I am great at remembering landmarks to look for where I need...

The dating phase of any relationship is about getting to know someone, but at what point do you decide you know enough about the person to enter a relationship with them? If a person doesn't want to tell you a lot about himself,...

palonghorn It can be, just depends on what type of fire season we have. Last year we spent 6 days, 14 hrs a day on one fire incident, that isn't uncommon, except for the number of days. As for success in relationships...I have only had one in the past 7 years, and he was...

palonghorn I've been through 3 marriages and 3 divorces, and for me, I know why each one ended the way it did. The first, I was too young, right out of high school, thought it was the thing to do. Second one, was still young, and he had money! lol Money doesn't buy...

palonghorn I haven't bothered with dating much but, for me, there is one point at which I can pretty much get a good idea whether or not I want to attempt a relationship with them. The first time we are having dinner, or in the middle of a movie, etc. and my pager goes...

palonghorn Those that know you, know the truth. I have found (been there done that) that in every separation/divorce there is always going to be the 'bad guy'. And if he thinks it makes him 'look' better where his family and friends are concerned, so be it! It will come...

palonghorn I love doing any kind of scrapbooking, has you know. I have done all sizes from 3 x 3 to 12 x 12 to shaped chipboard books. Each size and or shape has it's own challenges. I also love embellishments, but sometimes less is more, in the smaller ones I focus on...
