    I wish I could send the rain to people who need it. We don't need any more right now, and some areas could get several inches. The weather people are warning people that rivers could rise to/above flood stage. There are a lot of rivers in the general area. We live on a river. However, we're...

    Question of the Day - Thursday, April 9th, 2026

    Trust definitely takes times. I need to see honesty and integrity. I trust different people with different things, however. There are the tangible things, like can I trust this person to pick up my mail, and intangible things like can I tell this person something about myself and trust that...

    What did you do in the garden today?

I was going to try it, then found that the thistle plant was very attractive to Japanese Beetles, which kept them off other plants. And in a centralized location for me to catch them for chickie...

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today—2026

    It takes the threat of people coming over to make us clean up the house to the presentability stage. Even though these are close friends, they WILL NOT see the basement. They WILL NOT see the "other room" upstairs. :lau :lau :lau :lau

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    My thought was it's a coin. And he's pointing at the fire in the background as if to say, "Look what I got paid to do, cause a lot of destruction." Any art majors here? What's the story behind this painting?
