I know I'm not the only one here old enough to remember the land yacht. :) Back in the early 90's my sister drove a 1970 (ish) Mercury Grand Marquis. That car was 19 feet long (compared to my dad's old panel van at the time which was 16 feet long.) My sister, being in her late teens at the...

I am seriously going to have to have that talk with them soon. See, here's the thing about the insurance. Mr. C just recently qualified for Medicare, so he's out. His son, Mr. P is young and in good health and has private insurance that Mr. C pays for (Mr. P pays for his own wife and kids.) The...

Nope. Nothing. Seems John broke the plastic fan cover, so the hole has been exposed for the past few days. Nothing has fallen or flown out as far as we can see. (Now where am I supposed to get a replacement fan cover?!) By the way, while I was searching for images of the culprit online, I found...

Sorry, my fearless hunter flushed them all down the toilet. But heaven forbid we find another, I will take a pic. I was googling images of maggots, though, and they do look really similar (from what I saw.) Cassandra

FC that was the biggest treat for me when I was a kid in fresh tomato season. Just cut one up in a bowl, sprinkle a little salt on it and eat it like candy! LOL Cassandra

AhHA! 2dream, maybe you are on to something! Now, I am all creeped out. Everywhere I walk in the house I am waiting for worms to start raining down. Cassandra

Heehee They are my little boys coats that he has finally outgrown. He has worn them for the past three years, but they are still in good shape. Lots of wear left in them. Cassandra

(dh) John was in the bathroom and felt something on his arm. He looked and it was a white worm that had falled from the ceiling, bounced off his arm and landed on the floor. He moved out of the way and looked up and a couple more fell down. They were falling out of the exhaust fan. He got a...

I have been pinching pennies so tight lately (no shopping at ALL except food LOL) that I haven't even been to my favorite thrift stores. So, I wonder if the prices are going up over there. Are their prices ever negotiable, do you think? I have never asked. Cassandra (who has four or five...

I wanted to share this story, but don't add it, since they are not in our SS family. My bosses 8 year old son killed his first buck this past weekend. He'd killed one or two does this year already and a few does last year. I just thought the story was cute because the proud dad has been waiting...

I wrote about nasal irrigation on my blog today. Read my long rambling tale of experimenting on myself. LOL http://thinkersrock.blogspot.com/2008/11/sinus-trouble.html If you've never done this, well... it can be such a huge relief! To me it was so totally worth getting over my initial...

I totally agree with you. I wouldn't pay more than five bucks for a second hand... well, pretty much anything to wear. Check back in a couple of weeks to see if the stuff is still there. If they don't sell it, maybe they will bring the prices down. :) Cassandra

How do you have tomatoes this late? Greenhouse? My favorite tomato sach: Cheap white bread Mayo spread thinnly on both slices Tomato cut almost half an inch thick Salt Optional: dill pickle slices cheddar cheese, thinly sliced fresh ground black pepper (I like the idea of grilled bread) I...

I cut my little boy's hair yesterday. Looks good enough. :) Cassandra

Oh, she is out to get me! They are conspiring for sure. Lucky for me I look taller from way up high. She is just missing me by inches. I went at lunch today to try to get the inspection sticker renewed on my car. You know they wouldn't let me do it because the roads are wet! :/ uh... huh...

Oh, I wish it were that easy! It makes you feel kinda silly to know that you are afraid of something that is completely harmless. :D John got home Friday night. He has to schedule his test now. He was either going to do it this Wednesday or the following Monday. I have already decided that I...

2dream, maybe it would help you to keep a backup cigarette like I did. A couple of days after I quit smoking (back in the early 1990's), I found a cigarette under the back seat mat in the car. (This may sound gross to non-smokers, but if you are smoker, this would have been a perfectly good...

I don't know what your DH's schedule is like, but if you could get a couple of offices to clean after hours, you could leave your dd at home with hubby... even go after she has gone to sleep, or maybe on the weekends. Cassandra

Wow! They look like hamburger buns! Nice job. :D I can't help but think that my 'hamburger buns' would end up looking something like warty toads. ... that's what happens to my biscuits. LOL Cassandra

you can pick up some snippets of her on youtube. I don't have cable either and had never heard of her. but just watched her online. Cassandra
