Sounds like it would be a great place for a greenhouse or a raised bed garden.

Layer them in the bottom of your planters, or use for mulch on top of garden (Cut holes for the stems).

My kitchen trash container is actually a clothes hamper! I like to use it there because it is bigger than most kitchen cans, it is on wheels, and it has a handle (for pulling it along). I put a 55gal trash bag in it as a "liner" and I hang one of the grocery store bags off of the handle into the hamper. Everything "food" goes into the smaller bag which gets taken out to the trash once it is full. Paper goods, floor sweepings, etc go into the main bin which only gets taken out when it's full - about once/month. It was NOT this insane price when I bought it years ago.

He has risen indeed!

Several years ago Calif started requiring stores to charge 10¢ for bags - no more free bags for you! The "new" bags are more heavy duty and reusable, but a lot of people would still rather get new bags than try to remember to bring the "old" ones back to the store with them. I think most people just toss the bags into the trash once they get them emptied at home; kinda defeats the idea of "reducing" plastic waste and keeping the landfills from filling up too quickly. The bags aren't really that great for using as trash bags at home either. The only "exception" for stores having to charge for bags is if less than X% of the goods sold are grocery items- can't remember the percentage - but Hobby Lobby is definitely one of the stores that wasn't mandated to charge for bags. I have no idea if they are doing it now as I don't shop there.

This came across my FB feed yesterday and I think it is a very good "explanation" forthe Resurrection of Christ.

HE is risen.

I'm sorry LS. I guess I didn't pay attention to the date you specified.

Forgive me for asking @Littlesister, but I thought you said that he was definitely going to be gone (on a Monday. Last or coming up?) Did I miss something you posted about reconsidering the situation/changing your mind???

I hope that getting an "official" diagnosis for this condition - if you have it - will not affect you being able to keep your driver's license, and, your independence!

If you have a CVS Pharmacy near you it might be a good idea to sign up for the "Care Pass" option for $5+tax/month. You will get $10 "Extra Bucks" per month to spend however you want, plus you get 20% off all store brand items. (Plus, you can shop online and have your purchases mailed for free.) BUT, the biggest advantage for you would be the option to AUTO-FILL your scripts and have them mailed to you FREE. Just something to consider.

Unfortunately, the company did the delete and restoration without contacting her first as she had requested.

I hope Virginia is more helpful/supportive to "landlords" than Calif is! In this state, if someone stays in your house for more than 30 days they are considered a "tenant" and they can cause all kinds of havoc if they don't want to leave; including you having to legally evict them! And that can take up to 90 days!

Will you be searching for a new hosting company, or are you "content" with their resolution of this problem???

@Annarchy & @Littlesister Do you ladies use the "Unread Content" button to find what you've missed? It works great.

They offered, but I didn't have it with me. Besides, I was still in my lazy phase of "putting it off" until I felt like doing it.

I finally got around to using my CGM! (continuous glucose meter) I've had it and the supplies for it since either Dec or Jan, but I never go around to reading the instructions and learning how to apply the sensor and adding the app to my phone. When I finally took the plunge (about 10 days ago) I couldn't get it to "work." Turns out that the supply of sensors that I had were expired and the phone (app installed) wasn't able to read anything for that reason! Oooops! And here I thought that I would be able to build up a supply in case of ......................... I fussed and I fumed and I finally got the "Quick Start" sheet out to read it, put on a fresh sensor and tried again. For some reason the app on the phone wasn't working correctly (I'm blaming it on the app, not user error! ) and in my haste to get out the door for an appointment, I totally screwed up my phone! I'm going to have to go to the AT&T store and see if they can help me out. In the meantime, I found the "reader" that goes with the system (it's like a hand held glucose meter) and have been using that successfully! Hooray! I hadn't been using it since (I think) the manual said you can't use both "readers" for the same sensor, and since I always have my phone with me I thought it would be the wisest choice for reading the sensor no matter where I was. I may just have to get used to carrying another "appliance" with me. Anyway, I really like not having to poke my finger every time I want to know how I am doing - especially after testing (eating) a new food.

Don't allow your self-worth to be influenced by other people.

The size of that fridge is amazing! I can see why you were thankful and passing on the praise to the hotel!

It's a good thing that they also tried CPR and called 9-1-1 instead of just waiting for you and your dh to get there. I'm sorry their efforts did not help her to survive, but they did all that they could - left no stone unturned. It is hard to move on after a loss like that, but you will be able to do it if you remember to reach out to other loved ones when you are feeling overwhelmed.

Our Walmart sells them for $4.42/doz! Some of the other stores are even higher. I got used to the $1.00 for any size drinks too. Feb 1 the prices went up to $1.29/drink + tax, still any size. Our Safeway gas station sells regular grade for $4.09/gal. I pay $4.19 because I use a credit card. Gas may be slightly cheaper at the AM/PM, but they don't have attendants who will come out to the car and pump it for you - a benefit of having a handicap license plate or windshield hang tag. Maybe the shelves were bare because March is (supposedly) "Frozen Food" month? I haven't noticed any sales on frozen foods locally though. That's a lot of zip ties! Better buy a lot more now because they do have a tendency to break when left out in the weather. As for me, I purchased several heads of cabbage at 38c/lb today. I am hoping to get it chopped up and into the dehydrator. (Just got a new 6 shelf Cosori) Being St Paddy's day, they were selling a LOT of it. So much in fact that they were not bothering to take the large outer leaves off of them. Do you know how hard it is to find green cabbage w/ those outer layers??? Almost impossible! I snatched up a lot of the leaves that other customers left behind, and I also did them the "favor" of removing the outer leaves from a lot more of them. Why, you may ask? I have grandious plans of using them to make stuffed cabbage rolls for the freezer! My IHSS worker is here tomorrow and she can do most of the standing at the sink cleaning them etc. I will probably also have her cut the heads up into "slices" for the dh. Standing for a long time really hurts my back and makes my legs ache so I count on her for most of the "grunt" work. She is only in her early 20's so she's getting the benefit of learning how to can and preserve a variety of foods as she help me. (So far we've canned "ugly chicken" & chicken soup, plus she got her hands "messy" when she helped me make up a gallon jar of sauerkraut to ferment. I put an aluminum baking sheet under the Cosori for better air flow because I didn't know how well it would stay cool resting on those cardboard boxes. The other pic is a side by side of the new machine next to my old 4 tray Excaliber. What a difference! (there is more space between the trays in the Cosori)

I never knew that! You are just a wealth of knowledge!

She might "forgive you" in this instance!
