writersedge I didn't know all this was going on. What do we care if it's deleted? I would have liked to have time to make $5, my four and change was just wiped out.

We regularly have visitors here from around the world, and we were laughing earlier about the different ways that people will say the same thing. If I'm at the table and want the salt, for instance, I'll say 'please could you pass...

writersedge Actually, I've been corrected many times when I was in Europe. "No, you don't speak English, you speak American." My husband says that Americans haven't spoken English in years. The one that wanted to f with the salt. Rude, impolite and would have been...

I've been working pretty much all day in the garden today and have managed to get all the chillies, peppers and aubergines out. What started off seeming like a simple job turned into a massive one when I realised how much weeding...

writersedge Too chancy to plant much here yet. Just last week it was 10 degrees F here. My chives did not come back up. My Egyption onions did. My majoram did. My yellow oregano did not. My garlic did. 2/4. We had a hard winter with many subzero nights. I want to...

We've got ants in the kitchen again, and whilst I wait for the measures we've put into place to take effect, I'm fighting a losing battle to keep them out of jars. It astonishes me how they can get through a well fitting lid into...

writersedge I'd see if the ants were edible, if they were, they'd be in trouble. Peppermint oil around the outside of your house before they invade is good. REminds me, I need to buy some. Otherwise, I'll have the same problem. Already got a mouse problem because my...

I've read a couple of books recently on preparing for disasters, or 'prepping'. Do you have a disaster plan in place, somewhere to go in an emergency where you had to leave your home, extra stores or bags packed? Some of...

writersedge I had extra water in plastic bottles, but the field mice have gone to the bathroom all over them and eaten thru some. We always have extra food because we live in the country in a snow belt. I was in another town near here and stranded for two weeks. So...

writersedge Im impressed. I wish we weren't dependent on any utitlity. During the ice storm of 1998, here, a friend of mine didn't know there was a problem, he was off grid so that hundreds had no power was news to him until I called. He just put on ice skates and...

writersedge 21 for a cat is how old in our years? He's too old to be hunting. He still tries, but they're too fast for him now. No, I'm not mad at him, he did well until he hit 19 years old. Small red ants weresupposedly used to make the first bug juice. Not sure if...

writersedge Tumeric is supposed to be great at fighting cancer, too. Garlic used to keep my bloodpressure down, but will all that's happened, it doesn't now. Yes, garlic does so many wonderful things that it should be in all the people's diets who can stomach it. Some...

writersedge I think what she's saying is that to leave your family or uproot children or leave your job, whatever ties you have and go to another state, the love must be very strong. Most people think their lives are set by their 30s and 40s. My life was never very...
