What's the Best thing you've ever done?
Comments (44)Thankful that, after borrowing my allowance ahead from Dad on a few occasions and having been forced to stretch the pennies for some months afterward, to heed Dad's advice that if I couldn't pay cash for something ... to not buy it: wait till later, when I had the cash on hand. And build up some cash on hand, available in case of need.They said on the radio the other day that many people, earning $100.00 ... are spending $160.00! One can't continue a hobby like that for any length of time, without getting badly burned! Dad taught mne to be a good neighbour ... and my boss told folks a couple of thousand years ago that we should love our neighbours as ourselves. Seems to me wise to be courteous, generous and kind to others, even to offering a smile to folks that we meet on the street, in the supermarket, etc. ... or making a friendly comment: usually I get a reply that includes at least a small portion of warmth, and oftern there's a smile that each carries away, to brighten one's day a bit. Seldom do I get that look that offers even a slight suggestion that it'd be a good idea were I to get lost! Dad used to say that he wanted to leave the farm better than he found it, and brother, the retired farmer, feels the same. Though they may not have articulated such, they'd say that they wanted to leave their community better than they found it, as well - and both did. I agree ... and my definition of community stretches to our province, nation and the wider world. We'll either learn to live together, showing concern for the welfareof others ... or we could well all die together. Years ago we were worried about being fried to a crisp with those horrendous bombs ... but now it appears that our demise may be brought about by wasting precious resources and causing massive global warming and pollution. Unless we smarten up. Those seem to be my major good things ... thus far. ole joyfuelled ... who's been known to dispense gas ... as well as burning it...See MoreName 10 Things You Love About Your Oldhouse
Comments (15)I've been in my 'new' home for nine months now, and wouldn't trade it at all. It's from between 1920 and 1930, and even though there's a lot of work to be done, there's treasure abounds.. The genuine hardwood flooring in every room. The kitchen has tiles over the lovely floor, but I'll see about removing those... 9. Except for the newer front door and back door, all theinterior doors are the originals. Each door has a crystal-cut glass (assumeably) knob, the locks are still in tact even though I need to buy a key for them, and every one has the original brass faceplate and hinge and pins. 8. The very deep and extremely heavy enamel-coated cast iron tub. No, it's not a clawfoot, but it's still nice. :) 7. That of all the crappy remodeling things done to the house, someone had enough insight to install ceiling fans in all the rooms. The house has NO insulation, none of the windows open and gets very, very hot here in summer... 6. Mr. Kent, the spookie that still resides here and likes to play little pranks on us when he's bored. The Kents were the first renters of this house before my neighbor's mother bought it. He's harmless, but he does do some interesting things lol 5. The mysterious crumbling shack in front of where I park the car. It's got two little rooms with floors and one wide space that's still dirt, but too narror for a car (even a Model T). The smaller one has lots of shelves, and the longer one is, well, empty. There's an old trunk key and remnants of really ugly wallpaper. Both doors have the skeleton lock and a white porcelain doorknob. 4. The two great pecan trees in the front yard, the many rosebushes, the blueberry bush, the tigerlilies and night-blooming jasmines... I'm going to help and revamp all the lovely plants, but I can't wait for pecan pie this fall! 3. The abundance of cabinets... They go up to the ceiling. //_o Even on a chair I can't reach them, but if nothing else there's room to put stuff. 2. The lovely brick fireplace that was once the centerpiece of my livingroom. It's been painted white and brown ( //_X) and the terracotta hearthstone needs to be replaced, but it's absolutely lovely. 1. The MAGNIFICENT upright piano dating back to 1915 that's been in the house since it was new and has remained here ever since. I've got someone coming in this week to tell me how much restoration it needs, but I fully intend to save this piece of history....See MoreWhat is the craziest thing your dog has ever done?
Comments (20)My beloved mutt Hippo has been a comedian (and trouble) from day one... She is food crazy and has had some harrowing experiences because of her appetite. Once she ate an entire box of dry cookie dough. Her stomach bloated up, she had diarrhea, she vomited and was miserable for about 8 hours. Once in the middle of the night she threw up... a plastic bag! I have no idea what was in the bag, or how/when she ate it, thank god she threw it up. When I had my first child she was my night companion. Anytime the baby would cry, she would run into my DD's room and wait patiently for me to come in, like "Mom, the baby is crying!" and she would stay up with me through the night feedings. She also took to licking the top of my DD's bald baby head. My relatives all thought it was gross, I thought it was adorable. When I leave the house she goes on my bed, rearranges the pillows and takes a nap. The second I come home, she jumps down and acts like she was never up there... At age 10, she loves going with my DD up into her tree house (there are little stairs) and then she will slide down the slide, just like a kid. Hippo and DD are best friends and she was the greatest "practice kid" ever....See More10 best things you've ever put into your mouth
Comments (16)Trying not to run to the fridge: A cup of fresh strong coffee with a bit of cream. Anything chocolate, any time, any place. Sweet scallops broiled with butter. Fresh strawberries. Oven-roasted asparagus with olive oil. Grilled cheese sandwich with fresh tomatoes on top of the cheese. Sunshine Hollow Vidalia onion-tomato dressing, suggested to me by someone on this forum. My fruit salad of sliced oranges, pears, bananas, currants, toasted sunflower seeds, with some Drambuie mixed in. My Crocked Pot Roast. Perfect key lime pie. Could go on and on!...See Moretriciae
