    Do you like to garden ?

    Our Dollar General has the Fordhook heirloom seeds, and they are much cheaper there than at other stores or online. What brand does your dollar store have, @Mary Stetler ? Walmart also usually has lots of seeds at good prices, although not a whole lot of variety like an actual farm store has...

    Congratulations on all the posts and threads here, @Smithy ! You do a wonderful job of taking care of this forum, and also of listening to what people would like to have on the forum. One suggestion that has helped us on our senior forum is making interesting titles, and always having the...

    Name one famous thing in your city/town

    I have never heard of this, @Nancy Hart , what was the purpose of the chains in between the cannon balls ? Did they think it would do more damage if two were connected together maybe ? If they only used it once, apparently it either didn’t work like they thought , or it was too difficult to...

    Last thing you drank

    San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water. This is pretty much my go-to drink now. I know that any kind of soda is not healthy, whether it has sugar or artificial sweetener, and I had changed over to sparkling water several years ago. Then, I discovered the sparkling mineral water, which is even...

    What's your Weather like today

    We are still in the little warm spell, but then going to be cold again for the next few days, and by mid-week, it should be warming back up again. Trees are starting to bud out here, and we have a daffodil in bloom, so that is always a good sign.

    Trump latest: President says he will raise new global tariff rate to 15%

    It is ridiculous what the Supreme Court is doing, because they can’t tell the president how to run the country. Their decision didn’t help them any, and in fact it will probably set up an investigation on who (and what countries) are pressuring the court justices to make decisions like this...

    Blood pressure

    I just finished doing a study about fitness tracker watches, and part of that study was to take my blood pressure, twice in the morning, and twice at night, 1 minute apart. They sent me an Omron blood pressure cuff to use for the study. The study requirement for taking blood pressure properly...

    Mr & Mrs Robin

    That is awesome ! Hopefully they will make a nest and you will get to watch slime robins grow up. Once they start nesting there, they might keep coming back each year. This reminds me that it might be time to start checking the osprey cam that is at my home town in Idaho. They have a nest and...

    Last thing you ate

    I had ramen noodles with lots of stirfry veggies for brunch today. it is cooler, so something warm seemed better than granola and fruit with yogurt this morning.

    Do you like to garden ?

    YES ! YES ! YES ! So, after saying last fall that I “for sure” was not going to garden this year, some how that Gardening Bug bit me anyway, and it bit me hard. I have been buying seeds for several different kinds of tomatoes, and herbs (basil, oregano, thyme) several varieties, and then found...

    Name one famous thing in your city/town

    I now live in Alabama (USA), but I grew up in a small town in northern Idaho. There was a long wooden bridge that went across the Pend Oreille river, right where it cam out of the lake, and at that time, it had the distinction of being the longest wooden bridge in the world ! Later, they built...

    Trump 2.0 - What are your thoughts?

    The other countries have been putting tariffs on things we purchase from them, which has made high prices here in the US, and now we are putting tariffs on things we sell to other countries, so they also have to either lower their tariffs, or pay the higher prices for US imports. What is also...

    Andrew latest: Government to consider legislation to remove Mountbatten-Windsor from line of succession

    What would happen if the investigation into Epstein and human trafficking implicates more of the royalty there, @Smithy ? A lot of what Prince Andrew is being looked at for happened quite a few years ago, and it is possible that both brothers might have been involved, but it is only showing...

    Name one famous thing in your city/town

    Huntsville is where the Space and Rocket Center is at. Even though most of the flights have been launched in Florida for the Space Shuttle, this is where the headquarters for NASA and the Marshall Space Flight Center are at. Now we will also have the headquarters for Space Force, the newest part...

    Seasons

    It is looking like spring here in Alabama, too. We have a daffodil blooming, and some of the flowering trees in the area are starting to bud out. Since the Untied States is such a large area, we still have places where people are dealing with snow, but in the southern part, it is finally...

    Last shop you went in

    You can’t just buy a new screen saver and put it on, @Nancy Hart ? I have never used one on my phone, but they look like they just peel off the backing and stick on the screen. The last place that we went was Walmart. It is time to start thinking about gardening and growing plants; so we...

    What's the Best Thing that Happened to You in the Last 24 Hours?

    I don’t know the difference , or even which term is appropriate for the tree that we got. It is between 3-4 feet tall right now. The other one is one that i bought years ago when Kroger had trees and shrubs on closeout one year, back when the old Kroger store near here was still open. So we...

    What's the Best Thing that Happened to You in the Last 24 Hours?

    Nancy, that is always the very best kind of news , and I am happy for you ! Not having to fill out any more forms is awesome, and even better that they are taking care of what needs to be done. My Dwarf Red Rome apple start arrived last night, and this morning, Bobby and I went out and...

    What's your Weather like today

    It is supposed to get colder here by this weekend , too. Nights below freezing. Mon-Wed, and then warming back up. I have moved some planters outside for the week but will be bringing them all back inside this weekend, and keeping them in until it warms back up again. We go through this each...
