They're starting to eliminate gas stoves in parts of Ohio. The new builds are almost all electric. I grew up with a gas stove and burned a lot of things when I first had an electric one. These days, I have a new electric stove with burners that have 11 or 12 settings on each dial called...

As soon as I saw the thread title I knew it must have been written by someone other than an American. "Station in life?" We don't have stations, just people born poor or born middle class or born rich and where they are now has to do with how hard they tried, or misfortune, or inheritance or...

I purposely use up every last thing in my pantry and freezer at the end of every year, just to be sure nothing goes out of date. So right now I'm lower than usual, but we did refill a lot last week, so we could probably last a month, but it would mean lots of pasta meals, burritos, peanut...

19 in Ohio this morning. My poor little 7lb hairless Dachshund had to go out in the snow up to her hoo hah to do her business. I pity her, but not enough to let her use her preferred spot under the dining room table. It's 4 in Minnesota and I would think that would make everybody on all sides...

Oh yeah, I just played a few minutes of it and couldn't go on, I think it might be hitting the same ear nerve as M of M. I hadn't heard it in so long I had forgot all about it and probably never knew it's name. When I see "Baker Street," I think of this which I like:

I'm glad I'm not alone with "Mull of Kintyre." I was afraid to copy Holly's post of it for fear it would start up. I heard it first about a year ago and it tweaked something in my poor old brain and would not stop playing. I would wake up at night and there it would be. I kind of hate Paul...

It's not just the news media that depicts Christians as far right wing bigots but our movies, books, and TV's. A whole generation has grown up watching Dana Carvey's Church Lady and greedy televangelists and never once attending a real church. They have no idea what really goes on in today's...

I say it myself sometimes. It's always been on forums and I write it, 'kay. It's usually my one word reply after a long post explaining why I'm wrong about something while using straw man arguments and "they say" as their fact source.

Most of us haven't dated blond men because only 2% of the world's population is blonde as adults. Take my husband. His mother said that of all her 12 children he was the blondest, almost white, as a child. And yet, five of his grown-up sisters are blonde now while he had medium brown hair...

Yes. My grandmother in with my parents when she turned 90. They would have been welcome with me when they got too old to live alone. Yes, if I thought it would help them. Yes. Yes. Yes. I wouldn't be asking unless it was homelessness or them, so yes, it would hurt my feelings to be told...

Those central consonants seem to give lots of people trouble and it drives me crazy. When I lived in the south I got very tired of hearing people change the "t" to a "d, saying impordant for important. All the time. Nancy Grace is a criminal lawyer who can't pronounce sentence. She always...

It was stumbling down the stairs to the basement with a load of laundry that prompted us to move to this one story house. Hubs had fallen down the stairs, too, and son had from his upstairs rooms. One day when I was doing laundry for all of us I counted thirty flights of stairs climbed. I...

No. This is, and will always be, his home whether or not he has any money. When he first came here from Dayton to live with us he planned to get a job and his own apartment, but when the time came we saw that apartments, or even rooms, around here were scarce and over priced. Most...
