    Do you have to slather on the whole 3 tablespoons or just dab it in strategic spots?

    I am weirded out ...

    Ma'am is fine with me even though I'm still a Miss. I can't expect people who don't know me to guess I'm not married. What really frosts me are strangers that use my first name (such as tellers at the bank). Grrrr. Now that I live in the south, I'm getting used to 'hon' & 'sweetheart', but...

    Kids or No Kids? How did you know?

    I think a lot of people feel that way. As my friends got married and had children, they began to treat me as if I was not a responsible grown up because I was still single/no children.

    Who reads what we write?

    Didn't know that. Luckily my phone is never where I am because is always somewhere else when I want to use it. They can go ahead and track it.....if they want to know where I'm NOT :P

    Who reads what we write?

    I try not to get too wound up about the erosion of my privacy but it really is irritating. Those satellite photos are awful - I live in the middle of nowhere but have to be fully dressed to go outside. I won't have an EZpass because it's no one's business where I'm going. My cell is off unless...

    The Year of Pickled Turnip - recipe at bottom

    I wish I had read this sooner. My BF grew a pile of turnips, I had no idea what to do with them so I roasted them in the turkey roaster for a few hours then froze 'em. Hafta say pickling them sounds tastier.

    Kids or No Kids? How did you know?

    I think it was jealousy :P I really have had a fun & interesting life so far......that's not to say life isn't that way for those who have kids, but the grass always looks greener for some people. I've always liked my own grass best.

    Kids or No Kids? How did you know?

    I have never wanted children. The freedom to do what I want with my life was always more important. Over the years, many people have told me how selfish that is - and well, that's probably true but I have never regretted my decision.

    yer a real country gal when...

    Same here, except my peeps are in the pantry. My 'dress shoes' are sneakers without any poo & feathers stuck to the bottom. I wear them to other people's houses. I was in the tractor supply in line w/ my muck boots and the guy next to me (also in muck boots) looks down and says "What kind of...

    Has anyone lost faith in the media?

    Sometimes when I listen to the news I thinkabout the ancient Egyptians trying to get into heaven. Instead of making a list of all the bad things they had done in life and repenting for them, they would create long lists of things they had NOT done to show the gods at judgement time. "I have not...

    Feed lots in Argentina

    This sort of thing was the main reason I stopped eating meat, store bought veggies, store bought dairy & started trying to become SS. Greed is an awful thing.

    Should I add potassium iodide to MY emergency store?

    I've had a supply of potassium iodide for a while. More for a nuclear attack scenario than a plant meltdown. Of course everyone thought I was crazy but there was a time when everyone thought there was no possibility of our planes hijacked & flown into buildings. (A friend discovered the bomb...

    Has anyone lost faith in the media?

    I realized how deep in my bubble I was when I went to the country store & everyone was talking about Dick Cheney shooting someone. I had to go home & find out who Cheney was. Oops. I should probably know who's in office! But people shoot each other around here all the time (not always...

    Has anyone lost faith in the media?

    SS people seem far more practical thinkers to me so I'm curious to hear opinions on the media. I've discovered I have lost the ability to get worried about things happening in the world (other than the economy collapsing and destruction of the environment, both of which are actualities.)...

    So much for safe nuke power

    I know I will probably get metaphorically stoned for this but.... I think the fact that the 40 year old reactors withstood a large magnitude earthquake & aftershocks with the tsunami thrown in shows that this type of power is safer than we think. All the reactors shut down when the earthquake...

    puking cat -back to puking :(

    My cat used to do that until I put his food dish on a stand about 4-5 inches off the floor. He will also barf if I change his brand of food. You could try feeding him small amounts at a time.......

    Tools and Books

    That one won't work.....we're not 'shacking up'. :) (Do they still call it that?) 'Favorite Tool' will get me that indignant look he's so good at.

    Tools and Books

    I guess that'll work. For some reason SO always seemed a little cold to me.......maybe because "other" feels a bit negative to me. Maybe i'll just marry the guy. That'll fix it. :cool:
