I just read a sad and amazing story about a little girl that was left neglected for almost 7 years. DCF responded to a call to find a roach infested, filthy house. "I've been in rooms with bodies rotting there for a week and it...

sylvrrain I wouldn't mind them using the money on the homeless, if they would teach them a trade and force them to work and earn a living. I do have a problem with the welfare system the way it is and all of the people who get disability that are more capable of working...

sylvrrain We all hate bills, but that is just the way. Thats OK, we spend our money and we just go to work and make more. I used to think I was working for special things, luxury items and things that I dreamed about, now I have learned I work to be able to eat.

sylvrrain I think so. I am 43 years old, very active and I have only been to the doctor maybe twice in the last 5 years or so. That was for a cold, and once I pulled a muscle in my back. I am not skinny by no means, but I am not fat either. I am happy with how I look,...

sylvrrain I live in a very small community. So the only thing we have here is a thrift store that is about 10 miles away. I have donated some to our local nursing home, that is about all I have done with them as of yet.

sylvrrain Thank you for the offer. If I need help I will let you know. I haven't tried anything yet. I have been really busy trying to start a tax service in my area. It may be after tax season before I do anything. Thanks again.

sylvrrain thanks for the advice. I would hate to screw up my computer just to play some old games. Do you know anything about emulators? I know that you can play video games (sega, playstation, nintendo) if you have an emulator installed, but can you play some of the...

sylvrrain I agree that tax season is never over, I know we had customers coming in all year long when I managed an office for a tax service. I like the idea of offering secretarial services and payroll, though I haven't done payroll in 15 years. I am sure there is...

sylvrrain Most greenhouses and nurseries that you can shop at have kits that you can use at home. In my community, you can take a sample and have it tested for just a few dollars.

sylvrrain I would suggest that you keep succulants grouped together. If you have different types of plants in a container that have different watering needs, some plants will suffer.
