Sympathy like. There's a Reebok outlet close enough to me it's worth the drive as they're always running some type of buy one get one type of sale. It's usually at least 2 pairs in my house and sometimes more.

My feet are average sized, but I find that New Balance are the absolute best shoes out there. I have a few pair of their walking shoes (different colors--no white--can't stand all white sneakers), and they're excellent and worth the price.

This is something I would spend money on. I've always wanted to do this, and from everything I've read, you will not be disappointed.

I've never heard that. Around here (and having southern roots
) gravy is something that goes on almost everything and homemade is done with drippings left from your cooked meat and not made with tomatoes. What you explained would definitely be called sauce.

The Behind The Seeds tour is awesome. We've only once gotten to let ladybugs go. That was years ago. Most recently we got to feed the fish twice.

I love Tomato Sauce. I just wish I had the patience and the talent to make it from scratch.

It is Litre. I put gallon because I thought most people wouldn't know the conversion anyway. Actually 1 litre is about .26 gallons.

I learned that when I was about 10 years old and we went to my grandparents house for our regular Sunday visit. We pulled into the yard and there was my grandfather, jackknife in hand, slickly cutting off the heads of chickens that I had spent a half summer taking care of.
He would snip off their heads and fling them to one side where they ran around for a few seconds, headless and into everything that was in the way.** Once they stopped my grandmother would throw them into boiling water so that the feathers would pull out easily. After that they "dressed them" and prepared them for the freezer.Know what they had for dinner that afternoon? Of course, chicken. Did I eat any? No, but, I quickly got over the trauma and now consume my own large hen house equivalency per year. Never lost that image from my mind though. Country living is no where near as tranquil as people would leave you to believe.
Actually, looking back, that part was pretty funny. Hence the phrase..."running around like a chicken with it's head cut off".

Perry the Platypus is way to popular to just get rid of him completely.

I make almost everything from scratch, my ds and I have a few allergies so it's safer that way.

Perry is all over my younger ds' room. Sheets, comforter, several stuffed ones on his bed, curtains, you get the point

That makes a lot of sense. Better safe than sorry.

Yep...well, we don't have a laundry mat so I take mine to my in-laws' house on the weekend, do about 10 loads to get it all done, then hall it all back on Sunday. We've spent the last 2 weekends doing laundry there. Whirlpool finally called today. I'm quite angry actually. The store where we bought the machine doesn't want to take the word of the repairman I called. They want to hear it from Whirlpool themselves....who never called when they were supposed to. Hubby called them today and they finally called to make an appointment...and she told me that they charge 50 euros just to look at it. Now, -I- did not ask them to come and look at it...the STORE wants them to come and look at it. Why should I invest 50 more euros in a machine that is broken, to tell me what I already know, and then have to pay for a new machine as well? Talk about milking the customers.Sympathy like. I know your pain. When our old washer died it took a few days to get a new one. I lucked out and the one I wanted was on sale but I was still with out a washer for a while. I had to go to the laundry matI only did what was absolutely needed to hold us over.

Sympathy like. At this point I'd go to a different store and get a Bosch but let the first store know you're doing it and let them make a counter offer.Yep...well, we don't have a laundry mat so I take mine to my in-laws' house on the weekend, do about 10 loads to get it all done, then hall it all back on Sunday.

I'm due for a re-read, too, but I want to finish Outlander first and I'm only on book 4. Are you a member on Pottermore? They announced yesterday or the day before that JKR has written a bunch of short stories about Wizarding in North America that take place long before Harry Potter. It's exclusive content to Pottermore, so if you're interested, you have to go there to read them.Harry Potter is on my TV nowI'm going to watch all the movies and read the books at least once more before vacation
