    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    Well said. All of us, as Yanks, have nothing to be ashamed of. That offenses have been perpetrated in our name is what it it is. There is no nation on earth that has achieved anything of note that can claim any better. That more good than most of us can recount is attributed to our cause is...

    Making Butter

    That is so totally worth the money! I love such things. I actually found a lot of them on the internet, but few as homey as that one. Few are any cheaper, I might add.

    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    For whats it's worth, I have been fortunate to live in every corner of the USA, in France, Finland, Germany, Italy and Belgium, along with non-resident stints in Latin America, The Middle East and Africa. I accept all people for what they are, on their own merit and consider them brothers of the...

    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    So I'll ask the question, then: Who is to be admired and lead? Who would you guys rather have fostering THEIR whatever-centric and ideological ideals on the world? At least with America you know what you're getting. But, lets assume America is to be scorned for what it represents. Then...

    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    Who do I like best, the braggart or the silent type? Neither. I prefer those who know they are good, and are not afraid to admit it. There is a rash of AmeriGuilt going around in this country that says because we may have done some things wrong - we must be ashamed. It says that you musn't...

    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    There is a difference between saying you are better than others and being the best. (I've been to many places in the world - I can assure you we ARE better than many others.) What we must face is that there is going to be a top dog, a big cheese, etc. There always is, no matter what you call it...

    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    Personally it isnt image I care to see improved, it is substance. The "ugly American" matters little. There is little doubt that we and all the other nations of the world are intertwined. What we need to do is make it clear that we could care less about image; that's for Hollywood types and...

    Letter to Obama from 4th Grade Teacher

    This letter is wrongly attributed. The quoted teacher disclaims responsibility for it. But, I'm still wondering who paid for his election. His off shore campaign contributions still remain undisclosed, last I heard. I mean, does anyone actually believe that a no-name, first-term district...

    Should We buy this greenhouse?

    Well I cant see the pic, but 30 x 30 is a biggun. I'd prefer longer than square - I reckon theres a reason why nearly all large greehouses are rectanuglar. But it is what it is. The one thing that the large g-house has over smaller ones is thermal buffering. The larger the air mass, the less...

    Grape jam question

    You can use any type of grape you want, I guess. The purple "grape jam" we are familir with is kind of a put on, anyway, a too-good-to-be-true outcome. Especially the color looks trumped up. I wonder just how much real grape is in that stuff? "Real" grape jam or jelly is whatever color the...

    Tomatos! Need recipes

    We have more tomatoes than I can eat this year. They are one of my favoite things, so it's no worry. But Lori is a little tired of them. One of my favorite ways to eat tomatoes is an old Italian favorite. Slice several tomatoes thickly. Sprinkle on a pinch of salt, some cracked pepper and...

    The Great Laundry Experiment Results (PIC HEAVY)

    Indeed those jeans were offending. Why the mere sight of them offended me. I am impressed with your homemad soap efforts on those fabric offenders. Also, I find that weird, is a weird word. Aint that weird?

    Planting grocery store garlic?

    They do work, sometimes. Other times, not so hot. I have yet to get any store bought pepper to take from seed.

    When do you replace your car?

    I was speaking euphemistically, of course. The thing to do is NOT absorb yet another debt by purchasing a brand new car. They depreciate and in a year are worth far less than when you bought them. But your payment never decreases accordingly. By the time you've paid it off, you have a well used...

    Sham Wow Instead of Paper Towel

    His given name is Offer - not to be confused with the serendipitous application of the English word "offer." In another part of the world, it is a name, apparently. The hooker was a woman. Some have alluded that she was a minion of the Scientologists, meant to discredit him. That backfired...
