The secret to good iced coffee is sugar. I always drank my coffee black. Then when I met my husband I learned how good it was with cream. I never put sugar in my coffee. A woman I worked with told me to use the leftover hot coffee from a pot, stir in a lot of sugar to let it dissolve then put it in the refrigerator. Serve it over ice with cream.

Should I try installing 2x2 reveal drop ceiling myself?
Q
Comments (12)
It's really not that hard. I did everything myself except lay the carpet in my basement including plumbing, electrical, framing, insulation, cabinets, drywall, paint and HVAC. The drop ceiling was the easiest of it all. The key is deciding where the best center of the room/starting point is. Lets say the room is 13 by 27.75 largest measurements if room is not 100% square. Take the 13 dimension....you don't want to start in the exact center, have 6 full tiles and then have a 6 inch tile at either wall....you dont want to start at one side and have 6 full tiles and a 12 inch tile on the opposite side....what you do want is 5 full tiles and roughly 18 inch tile at both walls. It will look much better this way. So in this case you'd lay out the starting track 5 ft, 6 inches from the wall (two full tiles plus an 18 inch tile). Go thru the same exercise for the other dimension. Even though it might look Ok to just start at one side, lay out 13 full tiles and then have one about 21 inches...that only will work if the wall is dead straight and happens to be a perfect right angle to that first track you set up before. Better way is find the slot in that first track closest to the center of the 27.75 dimension and set your first crossbar. You'll have 13 full tiles and the ones at each end will be a few inches shy of full. The general idea is have the tiles along the wall always less than full but always as big as possible. I haven't read any of the links so i hope I'm not contradicting them.

Hello,Sue. Welcome Home! You will love it here and won't want to leave. I can't knit and tried to crochet once. I am too tense. I started out nicely and ended up with that yarn so tight I couldn't get the hook through it!! Anyhoo, glad you joined us. We love lots of pics and to hear all about any good deals that you find. I especially love tablesettings with all of the history of every little thing! Betty

Hi there Shelley!! I am so glad to meet you!! I am not too much of a nascar fan but husband and son are. Much of what I have learned has come from what I overhear the boys talking about. A few years ago I thought it would be fun to join their fantasy league so I plopped down the fee and picked my team. Now keep in mind I am not knowledgable at all and I picked my team based one factor...age. So I picked Mark Martin as my first driver. In the end I beat all 38 guys and the other lady, winning the jackpot!! That being said I have only gone to one race,,,,the Pocono race. It was the longest day of my life but at least I can say I did it. I do like my PHILLIES though!!! Cheers! Susie

Should I broker house myself or list with an Agent
Q
Comments (3)
How can you market the house yourself if you aren't in the area? Sure you can list on the mls, but who will feed the brochure box? Will agents show a FSBO in that area? If so, do you trust them to lock up without double checking after them? And, if agents will not show a FSBO, how do you expect people to view the house if you aren't there to show it?

I say Yes, Glenda. Go ahead and give yourself that occasional treat. You've worked hard to get back to where you are. Little sip of life's pleasures if you find that in the frappuccino is just fine.

DH has been stopping for a vente vanilla bean frap for my mother when we drive to see her on Tuesdays. She loves them, and will drink the entire serving.

Not worth it. Too much crushed (whatever) ice. Water tasting than flavor.

I don't like overly sweet coffee drinks at all and have only been to Starbucks once, years ago and just got a plain coffee, it was fine but no need to pay so much for coffee

I moved to New England from Ohio after I married in 1978, and it took a very long time for me to acquire a taste for cold coffee. My DH grew up drinking coffee syrup in cold milk, and eating coffee ice cream. I'm sorry you were disappointed, Glenda. I can't handle the caffeine anymore - it makes me feel lousy. What I really miss are chocolate malted milkshakes. Nobody here has ever heard of them!!

Never been an iced coffee person until I became confined at home and a care giver brought me one. McDonald's is much better., to me.
