So, my toilet flushed itself the odd time (apartment building), once when I was perched on it, scared the crap out of me.   Replaced the flapper and some other innards.  Also in my previous house, during a really cold spell, the house would crack (well something cracked anyway), usually in the middle of the night. …

Yes, the article didn’t mention drugs or all the trash that the homeless I’ve seen not pick up. They get 3 meals a day, trash bins available which they don’t use. Don’t even get me started on the stolen items from folks found in numerous encampments in the city. Those that are truly down and out that are looking for…

I have been watching Mayday on tv every night. You would have to sedate me and tie me up to get me on a plane after seeing some of those shows, let alone have a wannabe pilot at the controls. BTW hubs and I crashed in a Piper Cherokee back in 1969 when we were teens and we lived to tell the tale. We did go up twice in…

And it doesn’t help if you’re sitting on 2 large coffees that you’ve just chugged and then get out of the car without your coat on and have trouble with your key in the lock. I could go on. Good thing the strings in my pants didn’t knot up.

It’s hard to avoid hitting a deer doing the speed limit, in the dark, on a highway when Bambi all of a sudden jumps out in front of you. Been there. No cars coming at me or behind me, just pure luck for that. I hit her dead on, my car needed a new rad and body work.  I had a carful of kids stop and stay with me until…

We use them for kitty litter duty, vacuuming and emptying said vacuum because, dust.  

Bears also love dirty barbecues.  We had ours knocked over on a regular basis.  Also, we ended up storing our garbage in the basement until dump day.  I set a motion alarm on one garbage can and it really must have ticked the regular visiting bear off.  He decimated that can

I take 2 large calcium capsules per day, usually one at a time. Stupid me decided to be a smart ass and take them both at once because I was in a hurry. One got caught sideways and wouldn’t go down. I tried water and it came back out. I said to myself “don’t panic”. Finally, after what seemed to be forever and a few…

So, I have tomato paste and ranch in the fridge, and I was going to make a salad for supper.  Done.

I have an Instant Pod, it’s Keurig friendly on one side and Nespresso on the other. Red Eye every morning, sometimes 2.

We used the Rust-Oleum kit in our kitchen. It turned out really well. We used the light toned kit and it actually covered the corner seam in the laminate. We did as BassPaul suggested and lifted the sink to paint under the edge as well. Another tip: be sure you let the coatings dry before using the finished countertop,…

I had no choice to slow down or see eyes in my headlights when I hit a deer.  She ran out of the woods right into my car while I was driving down the highway.  It happened really fast.  Took out my rad, killed her and shook me up severely.  I hated driving that highway in the dark after that.

A & W Coney Fries!  I miss the Coney sauce.  I’ve tried to duplicate it but it doesn’t taste the same.  I read some A & W’s still have it but I’ve never seen it anywhere.

Great idea, I usually use a beaten egg and husband gets the leftovers for his scramble the next morning.  I’m switching to mayo.

I use the plastic bread tag thingies. I do five sets of 10 reps and can never remember how many sets I’ve done. On the right are the not done, on the left are done.

My last dog loved puddles, any puddle. He rolled in one that was half dried up black smuck, stunk worse than a dead animal or a pile of poop. Hubs was away and I had to bath the stinking mess. In the middle of black fly season, outside.   He was so proud of himself and I used language on him worse than any sailor ever…

I think I will try both. Usually I zest before I squeeze and store it in a plastic container in the freezer.  I like the lemon peel strip idea.

I think I’m going to do both!

I know, my bathroom sink was slow, then completely plugged.  Landlord came with plungers and this really caustic stuff in a bottle.  At first, nothing, then all of a sudden, bang, away she went.   It was amazing to see how fast the water went down the drain after that.  But the stuff that was in there, I don’t even…

And then there’s the blood blister.  I now tape my big toes and use silicone “toe condoms”.  They also help prevent the “big toe hole” in my shoes from big toes that kind of point upward.
