    Last thing you bought

    We just got a new vibration plate. It has built in speakers for an MP3 player (which we do not have); but I can use my phone. The problem is that my phone does not have a connection jack anymore, and the MP3 player is supposed to plug in to the vibration plate. I ended up buying and adaptor that...

    Last thing you bought

    I can see that I will have to get used to using it ! When you step on the side lever, it closes up the prongs, but if you take your foot off of the lever, then the prongs can open right back up again. Maybe I am supposed to keep my foot on the lever, but then it is hard for me to tip it...

    Last thing you bought

    Now that aI am working outside in the yard and garden, I bought a small weed puller. You put it over the weed, step on the side to push in the prongs, and then tip it to uproot the weed. I will have to water the area where I am working first, so that the ground is not too hard and compacted...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    The truck has been overheating for the last few weeks. Bobby has tried everything that he can think of. He replaced the thermostat, the radiator, flushed everything out, got a special funnel that is supposed to get rid of air in the water line. So far, nothing works, and after a few minutes of...

    Last thing you threw/binned away?

    I brought a new scales that does the body measurements , so we are going to rehome the old bathroom scales. It is still good, and has a usb port for recharging, so it should work fine for someone else who needs a bathroom scales. The new one I got is larger and easier for me to read and also to...

    Answering surveys for rewards

    Walmart has come out with a program, similar to Amazon Vine, where you can have products to test and then write a review for the product. You have to be invited, and i got an email from Walmart asking if I would like to be a Recognized Reviewer; so I absolutely said that I would love to do that...

    Iran War 2026

    We have rescued both of the fighter pilots who went down over Iran, and they are safely home. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth did and awesome job of coordinating the rescue mission and keeping everything under wraps. There were several stories floating around the whole time, which meant that...

    Seasons

    Every day I read your weather reports and it makes me shiver ! When I was young and lived in Idaho, I was used to the cold, but now my body thermostat does not work good anymore to keep me warm. I am amazed at how well you can handle all those cold winters. I don’t think I could do that at...

    What is a Stanley plum, @Mary Stetler ? Are those the deep purple ones that make prunes or something else ? If you buy the tree, how long before you get plums ? I ordered wild plum starts from Gurneys and it said they can produce as soon as 1-2 years. Our Walmart barely has a garden center...

    How many Tabs do you have open

    I only use my iPad, and I seldom have more than three tabs open, and those are the forums that I belong to. Other than the forums, most everything I use on here is an iPad app.

    Iran War 2026

    It looks like our fuel prices have stopped going up, and might start coming back down before much longer. We have oil here as well as from Venezuela, so there really was no reason for fuel to go up here in the US, but it did anyway. Once we take our troops back from Europe, they will have to...

    What have you done today?

    I am surprised at that, @Nancy Hart ! Our grass is up and Bobby has already mowed once or twice and you are at least as far south as we are, if not more. Your grass should be up soon. We do have lots of spring weeds, too.

    It is spring here, too, and we are really enjoying the warm weather. Both Bobby and I have been spending a lot more time outside and working in the yard and garden, and not online as much as we were last winter when it was cold and dreary outside. Most of our garden is in planter pots becasue...

    Iran war latest: Iran denies supreme leader dead after Trump comments - and vows to kill Netanyahu

    I don’t know, but from what I am reading, the part that the United states is playing in this is about over. Because the Iranian regime was about to bomb all of the US bases, President Trump had to stop that from happening, and our goal is to get rid of the leaders who are attacking the US and...

    They are in the same family as eagles and hawks, but are a little smaller. They mostly hunt for fish for food, where eagles and hawks will also hunt for small animals.
