So how did you react the first time you saw KMart's Joe Boxer ad??? I broke up laughing so hard that I didn't even know what it was advertising! In fact it took about three times until I noticed. I think they are finally making up for all those T&A ads that leave the guys bug eyed! It's...

Merry Christmas​!

Merry Christmas to everyone here! This is my first visit here in a very long time. Used to enjoy the site, but then discussions got hijacked by some idiots. Just thought I'd pop back in to give Christmas greetings to any of the old guard who are left. Being my first Christmas alone (husband...

A friend from my hometown sent me this link, please express your opinions! http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20130715/NJNEWS/307150010/Amish-dairy-farmers-keep-camel-herd-sell-milk?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE%7Cs&nclick_check=1

I used to love Jello, then I visited the factory. Think I'll stick to chocolate!

I'm having a hard time with these first holidays alone. This one seems to be the worst as last July I held a big birthday party for my husband just a week from now. Yes, I've joined a couple of online support groups and made a effort at socializing. I'm just sad.

For some of us this is a lifelong effort. I think I've lost enough weight in my lifetime to make a dozen of me! Well, last year I read some books by Dr. Neal Barnard and suddenly became a Vegan. That lasted about six months. A couple of months ago I moderated to vegetarian. I've been that...

Well, I made the big mistake of signing onto a dating site - but that's another story. What did happen was that it brought to mind an old song, that I couldn't quite remember the words to. Of course wonderful google got 'em for me. So I'll post them and look forward to others of you posting...

Since I don't stay up late enough to watch much other than the news live, I record and watch later. Used to have cable & Netflix, but finances caused to to downsize to Dish. Don't like it, but that's what I've got. Not near the previous selection, but do get the major channels. Now watching...

Another thread mentioned thrift stores & American Pickers and got me to thinking. Who else loves them and Antiques Roadshow, Pawn Stars, etc? Ever pick anything good up along the curb (and I don't mean hookers, smart asses!)? Who's traded on Ebay? Anybody switched to Etsy, Bonanza or such...
