    Anyone left that still thinks the lottery is on the up and up.

    Electric Blankets

    New electric blankets compared to vintage ones. Newer ones are Warming blankets and have tiny wires that not only do not get warm enough for me, they do not last very long and are expensive. Thankfully I still have a vintage one that still gets warm to hot with the shut off safety feature...

    I probably cut my nose off to spite my face , what would you have done ?

    I agree. return all items and contact the Home Office. It's worth a try and I have never been disappointed when pushed to contact their bosses. Not this particular store but numerous others.

    Loyalty we have been shown by our dogs

    You bet! I wrote him, but I meant she (Queenie) was a wonderful dog, companion, and protector for me as as a young farm girl. Bus driver was begging me to call her off. The look on his face was priceless.

    Loyalty we have been shown by our dogs

    My black german shepard backed our school bus driver up on top of the drivers seat and held him there until he agreed he would never blow pass me and make my mother drive me to school again. I called him off and no harm done to the driver.

    Powerball now at 1.5 billion.

    Last time I checked, Texas players had only won powerball 2 times, and never a huge jackpot. Seems like a waste of money, so I will play Mega and Texas Lotto. Curious to know if you have a lucky number? Mine is 29.

    What are some "scary things" to you?

    Not too much scares me since I was a child and afraid of the dark. I had a small scare the other day with a driver in a pick-up truck. People have no problem passing a slow driver on our rural roads. One just waves the other around....no problems. I was stopped on the roadside trying to...

    Life on the Homestead

    Hello from Texas Cathy, Your story sounds exactly like mine. I have learned to do many things that I never wanted to learn, but baby steps and finishing projects has been extremely satisfying. Still overwhelmed at times but I know somehow, someway I will get it done.

    New refrigerator challenge

    Seems like a great idea to me. Keeping older models running is much cheaper than purchasing a new one every 4-6 yrs.
