    Amazon Prime Deals

    I have been looking and Amazon sends me emails every day with specials they are having. The thing is, we already have just about everything we actually need, so it would just be buying something different, not filling an actual need, at this point. Nevertheless , I am still looking. New coffee...

    Advertising

    Some of the thread titles encourage quick answers, rather than long discussions. If you encourage trivia threads, you will just get trivia answers. If you have more discussion threads, then people who want to have actual discussions will want to be on the forum. So, it depends on which kind of...

    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    Do you put the bag of ice cubes or something frozen behind the fan to cool the air down ? Bobby used to put a cold wet towel begind our window fan when we were in Idaho and did not have air conditioning and it helped a lot.

    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    I remember my daughter saying that where she works, they have no air conditioning in the building either. She said that the Dutch just send people home when the weather is too hot for people to work inside of the buildings. Of course, she probably has no air conditioning at her home either...

    Home Made Ice Cream

    The weather is supposed to be hot here by next week, so I will probably be making ice cream more often. We really enjoy having it in the summer. I have been reading that several companies are not even calling their product ice cream anymore, because of the additives they put into it, and not...

    Last search you made?

    I looked up the difference between pole beans and runner beans. I had planted some in the driveway archway, and we have been having green beans from those, and it was time to replant them. It turns out that they are a different type of bean, and runner beans can overwinter n some climates if it...

    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    My daughter lives in the Netherlands (for her job) and I have noticed that the temperatures on her weather forecast had heat warnings. It looks like it will be even hotter there next week, too. Do you have air conditioning to help keep cool, @Smithy , or what do you do when the weather is this...

    We had several episodes of rain yesterday, along with thunder and lightning, and everything was well watered. That is a good ting becasue it looks like we are getting a heat wave by next week and temperatures into the 90’s here. It has been cool enough that I have not been in the swimming pool...

    What's your Weather like today

    We are having the longest day of the year today, and it still does not even feel much like a normal summer here in north Alabama. We have had mostly cool days and lots of rain this year, and just a few hot days interspersed with the rain. It is close to July, and we have not been spending time...

    What's your Weather like today

    It is going to be almost 90 today, so hot and sunny. I am going to go outside and water the plants before it gets too hot. It looks like we might have rain coming by tomorrow morning.

    Last thing you've done when offline?

    I have been working outside in the yard as much as I can, before we get into the heat of summer. The squash seeds sprouted and I transplanted them near the red raspberries. They have room to grow and spread out and will also help keep the roots of the raspberries cooler this summer. I think I...

    America’s 250th Anniversary happening next month !

    On July Fourth, we here in the United States will celebrate our 250th anniversary of freedom . There are all kinds of national celebrations planned for this big event, and I think most of the states also have celebrations. This is one of our main holidays each year, so many people will be...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    You might be right, and I think that someone else mentioned some kind of a beetle. Actually, we are glad to have them gone ! No more pine needles all over, and with the area partially cleared, we get more light and sunshine into that part of the yard. I have been in the slow process of...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    The property next to us has some large pine trees on it, and every year, we have lots of pine needles covering that part of our yard, and the grass has a hard time growing. Then, last summer, some of the trees started dying and lost all the needles and were just enormous bare tree “skeletons”...

    How many forums are you active on?

    I am on two seniors forums, which I enjoy because we have good discussions and not just trivia threads, as well as a gardening forum, besides Discussion Headquarters. I am also on social media (facebook and Twitter/X) and I check those each day, too.

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    Those baby turkey are cute, @Joe Riley ! We have turkeys in north Idaho now, but they are not native there. Around the 90’s, wild turkey were brought in to north Idaho, and they survived and thrived, and now they are all over. I have no idea what the reason was for bringing the wild turkeys to...

    What animals have you seen recently?

    I don’t think that I have ever heard of a cowbird, @Nancy Hart . What do they look like and why are they called cowbirds ? I guess I will have to look on YouTube and see what they are and if I have ever seen one.

    Do you like to garden ?

    This is one that does not have a bottom, so it would have to have a liner to be used as a pond, but a black plastic liner would probably work fine, or even one of those blue plastic tarps, since that would add the blue color to the water. We are still in the early planning stages, so we have...
