  1. Hope you had a fantastic day!!!
  2. Jeepers, goodness, I’m so sorry for your loss! However, depending upon your policy, document every little thing! BTD! Yes, they will cover direct costs, floors, ceilings, basements, & storage items. Depending upon the policy you had/have, they might even cover perishables, to an extent. Either way, I’d push the issue, an elderly Lady, trying to avoid cost of living prices. If’n your agent is old enough, they could very well include the loss of clothes, furniture and food. I played the “old” card, when MIL’s house was burnt by the neighbors house. The insurance company made an extra effort to fix & replace , and restore…. her house. I threatened them, that they were trying to kill an old lady…..
  3. Jeepers, I am so sorry you have so much happen at one time. Given the severity of the situation, the insurance company should help clean out all the damaged items…easing you from having to carry heavy wet stuff…. create a list, perishables included. I would list the items at today’s prices, not what you purchased them for. They ‘should’ reimburse a large portion. Non perishable items, include on your list, with the approximate values also. Even if you think they won’t cover it, list it anyway.
  4. Also, I find, if I attempt to post something, a pic, or a link, , go to edit it, because it isn’t what I really wanted….. Touch the “back” arrow…to refresh..it really doesn’t…when you try to re-post the pic, content, etc…… I use this…. Hope that helps…
  5. What system are you using? My ipad, tends to have a check mark next to the pics I want to use…like this…. If you are using a desk top or lap top, I can check to see why it is doing it. Of course, it depends on the system you are using.
  6. Home…. Safe, thank God! Stop for gas, heard several people talking about SW Airlines, provided them rent-a-cars to get home, since their computers were down! Wow…. More traffic than I expected, stressed, DH drove the last half, my headache was screaming at me.
  7. Yes, I pre-plan bean meals, just because they don’t soften, by just cooking them…. And, I don’t want to waste what is in my storage…
  8. My old beans, (10 yrs.). I’ve put in a flat porcelain baking pan, on top of a paper towel, covered with plastic wrap , then, covered with a light cotton towel, in a semi warm place, rinsed daily until they start to swell. Hence, begin to grow. Rinsed with cold water daily, then I cook them. IDK what type of beans you are using, but navy beans, pinto beans, mung beans, and a plethora of other beans have all began to grow, after a few days to a week or so, of soaking, like that. From this…. to this, in 5 days…. I am going to try this recipe…. It doesn’t call for bean sprouts, but, DH likes them.. https://bluejeanchef.com/recipes/chicken-egg-roll-wonton-cups/
  9. My Uncle wrote a comment…. Something we were all told, many times…. Note: Quoted the information, because the first “Navy History” link page has been removed.
  10. The above link is gone…. https://www.untothebreach.net/1941/12/07/adolph-m-bothnes-navy-cross-citation/
  11. This is what happens when we get “rain”… Yeah, I know, still need to full more alfalfa…. Tomatillos are flowering! We will have turnip & beet greens for quite a while.
  12. This evening was a blessing. A customer came & brought his son (I’m assuming 6-7 yr old.). He had a game counsel, said he won a game of chess. I told him I had a real chess board & play against myself. He jumped up to see and asked if we could play a game. Yikes, I had to dust it off! We played a game. He was so excited. I tried to let him win, letting him “undo” many moves, explaining, why he shouldn’t make that particular move. “Oh!, I didn’t know that!” We had fun, dad made him say thank you… He asked if I knew how to play Mancala, I said yes, but I only have the board game, not on the computer…. His reply was “Really?” With a huge smile on his face. So… probably next time we will play that…. I had a wonderful time, entertained a kid, while dad & DH ‘worked’.
  13. Debbiere! Wow, orange…. Our house was painted pink….inside and outside. Even the appliances were pink, however, the countertops were yellow tile. Quite the combination with maroon tinted cement floors.
  14. Thank you! Desert winter gardening, beats fighting 110°F summer temps, watering 2-3 times a day. This year, I planted in September. Mostly root crops, JIC it freezes, so I might not loose the crops. I definitely need to pull the plethora of alfalfa that sprouted.. I’m going to use it for ‘green manure’ nitrogen enhancer, soil cover mulch….we shall see how that works.
  15. @euphrasyne& @snapshotmiki I will try to fix that tomorrow……. Thank you both for letting me know. I’m trying to set some things up, a new format for our front page, and when I started it, the program started that topic. I haven’t figured out how to delete it….yet….
  16. Many of our topics were/are only for members. With special permission to access any of the “Private” sections. Thank you for your input. It is definitely appreciated.
  17. Rain…Glorious rain! 30 hours! Everything is soaked, including the garden! PTL! We needed to rain, in a big way. Wanna see? Left to right… onions, and a bunch of alfalfa, I need to weed out. Spring carrots, that will be good until next spring. Beets behind the turnips, and a couple of volunteer tomatillos. The coop parts are so I can cover them with old ratty sheets, when & if we get a hard frost. Been reading & learning, how to, update our site….so if’n tomorrow you get an error message…. Give it a few minutes….. I’ll try not to crash the site..
  18. Finally home safe, PTL! Set up MiIL’s Christmas tree & decorations, cooked for Thanksgiving for her & her neighbors…. Nuf said. Traffic was a bear, several accidents…. Stop n go, fast traffic, zooming past, then almost stopping…. We lost count how many were on the phone talking or texting…. Or..the ones, alone in their car wearing a mask….
  19. For those that take sleeping aids, have you tried the ZzzQuil? It’s kind of a new product.
  20. Thank you Jeepers…. All were free tonight. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so very much!
  21. The extra wire fencing, I used, to let them out, every late afternoon, to scrounge around, but, keep the dogs from messing with them. Grrr, loved them & kept them from getting into the garden, but Gunner always wanted to chase them…. Storm was even worse! The light brown chicken, on the bar, wondered into our yard several times, I returned it to the family, until they told me to keep her. Giant, extra large eggs, every day.
  22. Found one of the TSC coop…..on my phone , but I’m having connection issues…. Here’s how their coop ended up…lick tub is my mulch bin, watered daily, including the green cover on their coop , to cool them off…. & Gunner…. Lol. Sorry about the roofing tiles…they were replacing our roof when I took that pic….
  23. This is the chicken tractor, I built from scratch wood in my yard.... they loved moving around daily in it..... Then I made an extension..... in the shade of the shed, to keep them cooler than the 100+temps we were getting.... Excuse the shed mess.... that is my garden storage area... our 40 year Palo verde tree fell on the shed, and the cars in the driveway... We have replaced the shed roof and cleaned up the area. Then, he got me a coop from TSC... but I cant find a pic...Maybe on my phone, IDK.
  24. Here’s my ‘winter’ garden. I cover it with ratty old sheets…. And the micro fiber ones, because those sheets are worthless on the bed, the callouses on my hands, snag the material, no matter how much lotion I use….. Left to right: onions, carrots, turnips, and 4 volunteer tomatillos, back row, purslane-dying off, too cold, but we ate a plethora of it, then, a patch of beets and a row of radishes, carrots-barely have 5, maybe 10, and a volunteer potato that sprouted in int center of the plot.
