You know better than to wait too long to take them, when they are needed!!!
1:49 am

She has been exceptionally healthy all of her life; so healthy that she donated one of her kidneys to her brother in the 1980's or 1990's. This is a big huge change in her life.

5:23 am
MollyL
It's a French word when you say your are done with something...like ta da
5:23 am
MollyL
Or maybe it's more like presto
5:24 am
mattygroves
Or an anagram of a stringed instrument
5:24 am
MollyL
Apparently the literal translation is "look there". I think we dim Americans misuse that word quite a bit

Anytime you see more points than usual (30 is more points than usual for a 6-letter word) it's a good hint that the word involves a high point letter

Typical day in my life: Finished getting fridge cleaned up and made a clear path for the new one around 8:15. Realized I have no milk or cream and really nothing for breakfast. Toyed with the idea of "running out" to get a few quick items. Decided against it, as that would be a sure voodoo way to get them to show up while I was out. Didn't go. They aren't here. Could have gone to the store three times by now. :(

The best way to freeze food is in those vacu-seal bags. It gets all the air out and it really improves the taste of what you freeze.

I have a habit of adding some bacon to many recipes and it always improves the taste. Grated cheese and already fried bacon make a brilliant extra topping for shepherds pie etc for grandchildren. It disguises the pies and they don't realise they are eating food they normally pull faces at. Similar way to make them try spinach, sprouts and cauliflower. I gather your maple syrup bacon is truly delicious.

8:51 pm
dcseain

8:52 pm
jmcnrick

8:59 pm
dcseain
shoe repair is so worth it.
9:00 pm
jmcnrick
yeah but the repair cost more than the original cost of the shoes!!!
9:01 pm
jmcnrick
but finding shoes that are comfortable are so valuable. . . .
9:01 pm
rururocks
shoe repairs are expensive.. sometimes I think the owners have no sole
9:01 pm
jmcnrick
the price was really a kick in the head ru. . .
9:02 pm
jmcnrick
but i wanted the shoes to last. . .
9:02 pm
rururocks
my shoes cost $180 to redo them
9:02 pm
rururocks
per pair
9:02 pm
rururocks
but they end up looking pretty much like new
9:03 pm
jmcnrick
i was upset at the total of $90 for two pairs. . .
9:03 pm
rururocks
they go back to England to be redone
9:03 pm
dcseain
i've paid up to 180 to repair shoes i originally spent 300 on.
9:04 pm
jmcnrick
jeeze you guys pay a lot for shoes. . .
9:04 pm
dcseain
you get what you pay for in shoes.
9:04 pm
rururocks
men's shoes are pricey
9:04 pm
rururocks

9:04 pm
dcseain
for dress shoes, if it's less than 200, i'm suspicious.
