Back To Work--Back To Work
Comments (15)OJ, thanks for the reminder. How silly of me to think it would go on forever. I won't be slipped under the grass either. My point to Linda was.. the great feeling of not having to go back to work. I used to listen to Dr. Laura a lot. She has some good points, and some I don't agree with. If your a single mom, you either work and support yourselves and your children, or you go on the system. I prefered/could work, and had a great job from the age of 27-57 1/2. Linda and a few of the others here know the work schedual we had. I didn't get a lot of time off, and when I did, I felt guilty too, if I wasn't home with the girls. But I need ME time too. Everyone does. So a couple hours every other week is a great break. I must have done okay, as I have 4 grown daughters, none did drugs (other than 1 did a little pot) or are alcoholics, and I'm very proud of them. One is able to be a SAHM, and she's busy 24/7 running them here and there, keeping them busy and in sports. Just make it quality time when you are with them. Besides Gramma may want some special time with her DGK's. Leslie...See MoreBack to work........
Comments (8)Jasdip, the sunflowers are mostly grown around Bow Island, about 60 miles south of here. That country down there is almost all irrigated land, so they can grow a variety of crops that we can't. (what irrigation is around here goes into hay, barley and canola. The sunflower fields are spectacular, well worth driving by. Spitz sunflower seed plant is just south of Bow Island, the distribution plant is in Medicine Hat. I understand that Pepsi now owns the plant, but I might be wrong on that. That area is also famous for it's bean and sugar beet production, and just west of there, the worlds best sweet corn is grown in the Taber area. Potatoes are also a big cash crop in that area. I just got in from doing chores, and it is plus 3. Regular coveralls (not insulated ones) a light jacket and no toques this morning!!!...See MoreNew Back Patio Work In Progress
Comments (28)YES they do. The grandmother spied on us the whole time my company was here. And she thinks we can not see her through or over the fence but we can. Sh would stand there and listen to what we were saying. Then yesterday grandson was hiding out in the little shed that has a window watching me. He is 20 years old. He has said some very sick things to me and should have been slapped silly but I am not that way I just told grandmother I do not want anything more to do with him and to keep him off my property. And I told her why. Grandmother has no idea what is really going on over here.Right after my husband died she saw men coming here and assumed I was already seeing new men. NOT NOT NOT. The men coming here were my investors and we were dealing with the death benefit . Thing is they wanted me to do one thing and I had a totally different idea so they kept coming here to try to talk me into their way putting more money in their pockets. OH NO!! but she thought I was having dates already. And she watches me like a hawk. I am 5 years older than she is and do not need her telling me what to do. Or making assumptions about my life. And see her kitchen window is just such she can see who comes and goes here and I have nothing to hide so I am not asking people that come to not park so she can not see them. And the really funny thing it I actually have several men friends that have come to help me do one thing or another. ALL of them are married and I totally respect a marriage. So now I try to bring them in the side door so they are really in full view just to frost her nosy self. I do not get mad I get even. Sorry rant over. LOL...See MoreHelp! Will this back-splash work?
Comments (18)If your choice were only between to 2 you originally posted, I'd choose the one on the right--the cream one. From the photos it looks like it works very well with your quartzite. The gray one is "off" just enough not to look pleasing. However, as many have noted, either one is more difficult to clean than a smooth surface. What sort of cook are you--very neat or more devil-may-care? If you are very neat and do not splash much when you cook, then you may get away with the split-faced marble, but if you are a more exuberant cook, you may find it a challenge to clean. The mother of pearl is very formal and quite busy, so it's going to compete with the counter tops as well. Personally, I would use a smooth crackle tile in a tan/beige tone to work with your quartzite. Simple is always good....See MoreDebby
