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.

Do we speak the same language?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 1 May 13

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...

Spring plantings

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 30 Apr 13

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...

Ants in the Pantry

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 30 Apr 13

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...

Prepping

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 30 Apr 13

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...

combining lives

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 14 Apr 13

I wonder how people do this, say in their thrities and forties? I was married young and so my whole life has been together with my Hubby. But how people do this who already have children, jobs, friends and may even live in...

writersedge Well, if I had had children, they probably would have been in college or moved away when I met my husband. My husband had been in the military for 20 years. Mostly stationed other places. Because he moved a lot, didn't write much and only called...

A Gold Shirt

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 15 Apr 13

I've just been reading on the news about an Indian man who has had a real gold shirt made worth £250,000 (that's about 383,000 US dollars). He can only wear it when accompanied by a security guard. Here's the story, with a...

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 3 Dec 12

Our new cat, jack. was raised by dogs, I know this because he does what no cat has ever done in our house. He lays flat on his back with his tummy exposed, and then allows tummy rubs just like our dogs always do. Sure we have had...

writersedge Mine isn't as interesting as yours. I was baking for the Farmers' Market and my husband was talking about my cooking and the next thing I know, I'm baking between bake dates. But that was OK. He brought the food to work and the guys paid him.
