Years ago, after our old dog died, the deer started eating everything my mom planted... She reached her breaking point one morning when she found what had been some perfect blossoms eaten down to the stalk. We tried the animal shelter, no luck. Looked in the newspaper, and drove for about an...

Anthony's is a chain. I've never been in the Tides (no kids allowed!) but the building is really old, about 100 years. Everyone likes it, and I guess the food is good too. Another option, though it doesn't have a view, is the Hy-Iu-Hee-Hee. I see it has very mixed reviews online, but I've never...

Maybe now it's called that, all the new construction (North GH, Costco, the hospital, etc) happened either right before I moved away or when I was in Bellingham. For a while, maybe still, GH had a flood of California transplants who kept trying to tear down all the cool old stuff. I wonder if...

Yeah, it's basically perfect right now! 76! It went from like 63, to 93 in two days, which is not fun. Lol, "old town." I never thought of it that way. I just though of it as the Harbor. The YMCA by Costco? That's definitely the new area of the Harbor. I have a love/hate relationship with...

I used to get irritated at my mom for not wanting to buy all manner of chintzy nonsense, but now I'm happy she didn't. I can't believe it when I see a kid sitting in a cart playing a PSP while the mom shops and ignores him... I also amazed at the amount of people who pay to get fake nails. Good...

Henrietta- I'm glad you found your cats! I have no idea how long Charlie was out. I left in the morning at 8:00, and got home at 3:00. I'm happy he didn't freak and run too far away! I'm also happy that he has such a loud obnoxious meow. :cool: I'm glad my plan doesn't sound bad. When telling...

Major drama! I left the windows open when I went to work today, since it's suddenly been super hot. When I get home, no meowing kitty, nothing. One of the screens fell off, and he got out! Omg, I panicked. I know, it's just a cat, but he's mine and I would feel terrible if something happened to...

We had a required semester of swimming in my high school. I suppose it makes sense considering the amount of water around here. I hate putting my head underwater when in a lake! You can hear these weird sounds that are boat engines and such. Also I have a fear of coming up underneath the dock...

:woot I wish it were just a bit more flat around here, or I would totally bike everywhere. You really don't know how to swim or are you joking?

Another example: Fluoride.

New place is okay. If they don't go with us for the roof, it will be super awkward though. :/ I really really hope they do! Still might have a way to make it brighter in the place, but they didn't sound very positive. They didn't say no, but the tone was not good. If they say no, I will probably...

The Walmart where I used to live was not cheap. I think it was because it is so close to the US/Canada boarder. They were still cheaper than up in Canada. I only know of one smaller grocery store where I live now. It's nice, and you can get decent meat there, but oh boy you will pay for it...

I'd say... Listen to Free! lol My diet is not ideal (I love my homemade bread!) but it's becoming less and less processed. Anything labeled diet, or low fat, or whatever is probably terrible for you. The good news is that many things that are shunned as bad for you, are not really, so you won't...

Have seen the raccoon twice now. I wonder if it's old, since I hardly ever see just ONE raccoon. I have windows open because this place has a distinct shut in smell. I'm not sure what, if anything, can get rid of this kind of smell. The place is not dirty or moldy. I would say that it smells...

The only people I've ever heard say anything negative about raw milk are people that won't eat or drink raw milk products. They consistently repeat the same outdated info (propaganda) that they heard "somewhere." I don't have my own milk animals, but I'd say common sense wins. Be clean, and...

That wedding sounds a bit like my step-brother's that we had at my parent's house. They were late getting ready, had no receiving line, and the bouquet throwing just spontaneously happened. At least you'll have those pictures though.

I'm not dead, it just took me a week to get my internet hooked up! The move went okay... Had to unload in the pouring rain, but had like 6 people, so it took less then an hour. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... It's DARK in here. I just went from the brightest modern house ever, to...

Thanks everyone! I'm feeling better about it today. I mean, I haven't been able to do anything with my current place for over a year. Since it's been for sale, if I want to do something that will cost money I think why bother? I'm just going to leave soon. So now when I move, I can do whatever...

I'm officially moving on Saturday and Sunday! We'll load the truck here on Saturday, then drive down Sunday morning to avoid Seattle (and Everett and Tacoma) traffic. Now that it's so soon, I'm actually pretty sad. I like it here. Oh well, I just have to re-read my previous post and be positive...

What are ten things you would want to have with you when the SHTF? This is hard, so I'll focus on just things (and people, lol) not more major structures. For example, it is a given that the house must have a wood stove, and land that will support a garden and animals. Also, access to a water...
