    Reflections of My Life

    Kat, I’m so glad you went to a doctor, even if you didn’t find an answer. An online friend of many years complained of intermittent pains on his left side. He didn’t trust doctors so took OTC meds for a couple of days and then he disappeared forever. He was an octogenarian widower so no one for...

    How are you today?

    Maybe your camera noticed how dusty things were in your house and heard your noisy leaf blower. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: No, I don’t believe that for one instant.

    Vitamins or nutrients you've decided have been beneficial to you?

    Creatine seems to be the supplement of the day. I’ve jumped on the bandwagon too often. I’d really like to see proven medical results.

    Overnite Coffee Cake Recipe

    Looks yummy. I just saved this recipe. @Kaila makes a good point about the size of the pan. I’ll follow the directions. I’m thinking about pre-planned breakfast food for holiday visitors.

    Hi! Joined SF to ask a simple question.

    My kids don’t know much because I never talked about myself. Their grandparents were on the other side of the country so there was no regular family chat. Now it’s the same for me. My kids and grandkids are on the other side of the country. Once I sent a text message to a grandson (~12) and he...

    Sweet Potato Or Pumpkin Pie?

    Years ago a group of us got together for holiday dinners. Once we decided to do classic American dishes that we heard about and hadn’t tried. The cook, who was darned good at it, did the vegetables. She made the green bean casserole (yummy) and sweet potato pie with marshmallows on top (yuck)...

    How much should a homemade pie cost at a food sale?

    I’d expect to pay $15 minimum for a small pie. When you factor in the ingredients, time, electricity, clean up, and expertise of the cook, that’s a bargain. My generous friend couldn’t bring herself to charge much for her mincemeat tarts, because they used to cost less. They were beautifully...

    Gentle posts for gentle folks

    My British friends had never had it when they moved here. She was quite vocal in the fact that she didn’t find it aesthetically pleasing, which is understandable. I can see what she was saying. She eats in now. I had served it when I forgot that. Thinking about this I should make a pumpkin pie...

    What have you bought recently?

    I wear lightweight gloves in the spring and early fall. I can tuck these extras in my pockets so I’m not caught without. My heavier gloves are in use now. When it’s really cold I’ll be wearing ski mitts. For me, glove season is about 7 months long.

    When you’re invited to someone’s home for a gathering

    To me it’s a waste of money and excess goods that will end up in the thrift store or landfill. Or it’s something they’ve received and are recycling. Obviously, I’m not a fan of the custom. I do do it. There was an etiquette expert on tv talking about the party gifts you could give your guests...

    How can people, or are they called monsters, who do this...

    There are some truly evil people in this world. You know this isn’t the only thing they’re doing.

    Who Remembers These Peanuts

    I recall eating and liking them. Although I wouldn’t buy them now, I’d nibble a few from a bowl if it were placed in front of me.
