I remember that, too. There was a doctor in our city, Dr. Lott, who charged $5 per visit. He operated his office in an economically disadvantaged part of town, but we were not too good to go there! I guess that was around 30 years ago. Dr. Lott has since passed away and there is a statue erected...

...but if you are a non-grown-up husband, shame on you! :D My husband is severely maturity challenged. Just the other day I found out he's been sneaking around smoking :rolleyes: Yes. Like a 14 year old. :th My biggest aggravation is that he has no aspirations whatsoever. When asked if he...

The realization finally dawned on me when I was about 9 or 10. I remember discussing it with some school friends--whether it could be real or not. There were never any hard feelings at all on my part. I recognized it for what it was... a fairy tale, a game of pretend. My mom didn't mention it...

I am mostly giving cash this year. But my 5 year old made a pretty extensive list. LOL I have told him he is not getting all of that because it's too much and Christmas is supposed to be about having hope and being nice to people. (He is not impressed.) But I did get a few things on his list...

Wow! Merry Christmas to you. :D What a relief! Cassandra

Basically, I want to learn how to garden. LOL Every master gardener has to pay back the organization with volunteer service. They are very clear on that right up front. You get a 40 hour course to teach you about gardening. And in exchange for that, you have to repay them with 40 hours of...

LOL Y'all are so funny :lau They are pretty good dogs, as far as having non-working, house dogs go. If one of us says goes to them and says, "Get down." They both raise their eyebrows and look at us. But if we say, "Really! Get down!" They will get out of the chair and let us have it. They...

This is my doggies doing their usual thing. Our regular evening ritual after dinner. Them hogging a chair. Blue (right) ALWAYS sleeps with her head elevated. Like she's using a pillow. Cassandra

Dace, I read that, too, about how you'd have to be accepted to the program based on qualification. Though, from the contact I have had with the two offices where I have inquired (I live very close to the line of two counties and have checked them both) I don't think we have as much interest in...

I contaced my Extension office and found out what's involved in taking the Master Gardener course. It's $85 and consists of 10 (2 per week) 4 hour classes for a total of 40 hours of what they called "interactive video lecture" whatever that means. Then, after you complete the course, you have...

Dac, I have a very serious question. What about commas in a series these days? You know, when I was in second grade and learning to use those, the teacher, Ms. Williams, said it was alright to put a comma before and OR you could leave it out--either way. Then, by the time I was in middle...

Firem3, those pants sound just about my hubby's size. You don't still have them, do you? :lol: (I have paypal!) :lau I like to give practical gifts because I love to get practical gifts. My husband John likes to give frivolous gifts because that's what he loves to get. You can imagine the...

What do leeks taste like? Cassandra

Oh well. At work, we have a Kentwood cooler where they come and deliver the 5 gallon jugs of water to you. I know for a fact it hasn't been cleaned out in over 3 years--probably never. No telling what's growing in there! :D Cassandra

Hrmm... What if I put a coffee filter in the bottom? Cassandra

It doesn't matter to me if it is in the dark. LOL I just read that and thought that's what you were supposed to do. Do they need light? :lol: I feel like such a noob. :bun Cassandra

I was thinking to take some of those smaller plastic dip containers. I think French's is the name brand and they are probably 8 oz containers. French Onion dip comes in them! Just poke a bunch of holes in the bottom. For some reason, the jars of disheveled sprouts looks unappetizing to me. I...

Haha. That happens at my house, too. And I don't even exactly make home made bread. I use a bread machine. But they will blow through a loaf in an afternoon. You can bet we never eat a loaf of store bought bread in one day, much less several hours. LOL That's good stuff. :) Cassandra

Wow. That is a fascinating option. I never would have thought of that. What kind of tree do you buy? Do they have a good survival rate? Cassandra

Mornin', 2D. :) I am in Summit which is about 80 mi south of you (if you are in Brandon.) I know I am sometimes unnecessarily vague about exactly where I live as if I'm a likely target for something. :lol: If I have time today, I'm going to go to the feed & seed store. Last time I was there...
