I live in Va, in the Shenandoah Valley. My dh is quite cold natured, but for some reason will walk around announcing that it's freezing in here in a tshirt and sweats. I, on the other hand, have a long johns shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants and socks on. I keep an electric throw on me while I am in...

I have an old comforter that I am currently bundled up in while I sit here. It is king size and is from my smoking days. I have washed it many times but can still smell a hint of old cigarette smoke from it. Have even aired it outside on different occasions. Main reason I still have it is...

If you have a goal or dream, when do you suppose that you are spinning your wheels...and that it's time to give up on it? The kids and I have one in particular (It's rather private so I can't air it here). It would mean bunches to us for the dream to come to fruition. The kids are always...

my dh was ready to throw out our living room table lamp because the switch was not working properly for a while and it finally just died. ME : STOOPPPPP !!!!! :yikes: this of course was a lamp that was a 3 pc set that sold for over 200$ over 10 years ago that i got for 75% off - so...

share your tips of things you LOVE to have leftover and what you do with them! leftover small veggies: be it canned corn, green beans, cucumber, ANYTHING, I freeze these in baggies and throw in the mix when I make soups, the plus is that even SUPER small amounts are save-able :) so you don't...

I'm tired. Yep, just tired. Tired of trying to please people. Tired of trying to form a relationship with my sister. Tired of rude people. Tired of......hell just being tired of things LOL. I'm trying to plan a graduation party for my dd. I want this to be special. Family and friends...

we all do it...let those leftovers linger in the fridge for too long... or maybe an over-ripe fruit or soggy veggie mysteriously appears in the crisper... or maybe you tried a recipe, either new or 'tried & true' but something went terribly wrong.... maybe you left something to cook too long...

~I almost threw away a large envelope from Nielson(the television programming research company)but my DH suggested they might pay for cable if we reviewed it. I thought that was a really long shot but opened the envelope anyway. $10 in cash was inside with a survey. :O The survey took 4 minutes...

Income tax return will be coming in around the end of the month...i file online and it takes roughly 7 -10 days for it to come back...I will be filing as soon as possible. I have decided to take $500 of it and put directly into stockpile items...what would you do? Thanks! i love this site...

This is more of a someone to listen post than anything else. I have been on EB unemplyment for a month. I had all the bills caught up with the help of some utility programs and just plain doing without. Thought things were fine. Well I have got one check since the end of Febuary.I called the...

Does this irk anyone besides me? There was yet another recall notice on the news this morning, along with the instruction that if you had any of the offending cookies containing melamine, you should "throw them away." That seems to have become the standard advice to consumers anymore where...

Anyone else think this isn't necessarily good advice? I can't count the number of things I've used after having owned them way more than a year. I understand very well the point about not having so much clutter you can't function, but if things have a good storage space and a likelihood of...

Let me explain. I work for the Federal Govenment. I will have 29 years service in April. I was in Accounting for 20 years and due to the BRAC my office moved from Rock Island Il to Columbus, OH. I was lucky enough to be picked through a Priority Placement Program for a job here on the...

I wonder how long till this reaches our shores?? :shhh: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/4214024/Dont-throw-away-leftovers-warn-food-police.html

When is it time to throw in the towel? No matter which way you lean politically, watching Hillary Rodham Clinton's almost-endless battle to become the Democratic presidential ...

Does anyone have this problem. I throw away things I shouldn't and my husband keeps everything. He keeps old newspapers, I throw away important papers. We need a solution. I am at my wits end. I tell him that I wouldn't feel so compelled to throw things away if he would only keep the...

Every now and then I hear of someone who says their family does not like or eat leftovers. So? I never quite understand what they are saying. What happens to the leftovers? I always assumed they were simply saying their family doesn't like leftovers but they eat them anyways. I thought that was...

As a teenager of course. Or maybe as an adult.:D I did. I threw a huge party for my 17th b-day. Invited everyone I could think of and they invited everyone they could think of. We were drinking and dancing having a good ol' time. Until a couple of the guys, who were drunk, got into a fight and...

We are soon going to be changing to laminate flooring and I'm looking to see what type of throw rugs I'll be getting. Can't wait.

http://www.knitlist.com/01gift/quick-box-stitch-throw.htm This pattern doesn't have a pattern. I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this pattern or this stitch before? I'm sure I will have at least one dishcloth made up with this stitch to check it out. It sounds rather simple!
