We did the park walk this morning that we intended for yesterday. it was great this morning! mdrizzled a little but 40. first part was normal, around 8 am, but about 2/3 of the way we were walking along a high bluff over the water and we started hearing loons calling. other birds too...

Shannon after reading your description, thats a big "no" on traction devices for his boots! he is lucky to be walking at all. snow or slippery would make it a 1000x worse. no advice here at all. that is quite a list of issues. he keeps moving from sheer will power? could he drive a...

diane sue we knew the build spot was seriously windy. the contractor built "reinforced" wind proof as possible. siding and roof are fire resistant. we positioned it so the garage is a wind block. we graveled 30 feet around and have no plants, wood piles, storage that could ignite. the...

endocrinology is very complicated. our bodies work with a "feedback"echanism where hormones secreted by one gland influence how others function. I am seeing an endocrinologist because my calcium is running slightly high, possibly related to the parathryoid glands. I was directed to take less...

DH and I are fussy about where we ski, which is old logging roads. we do not enjoy places with lots of people and preset tracks. there aren't many of those roads left because logging is less these days and we need to be able to get to them. most are minimally maintained. if trees fall, you...

we just got back from an intended ski trip but there was almost no snow. areas vary widely on how much snow falls, and we expected much more. we brought snowshoes too so snowshoed for 2 hours instead. definitely not great, crusty driven-on snow, but it was semi sunny so we did it...

Carolyn, diane sue that is so true about fed ex drivers!. they are terrible. they leave things everywhere even in the rain. in front of the garage door when by our front door is just as close but covered. we cringe when we see the fed ex truck. UPS and Amazon do a much better job...

cathy I let DH handle the issues with Dell. he ordered it and dealt with the tech people thru the whole deal. it gets more confusing if two people are doing the talking. I didnt insert myself in there! I mostly got into it with replacing the wireless card and packing it and shipping...

we have eagles all over the place but especially in winter. mostly they scavenge dead fish from river banks. not always "majestic" behavior. Shannon I have never seen Rao's tomato pesto. there are so many sauces on the shelf now! I usually get it at costco. they had another Rao's...

We did a local park walk this morning for 1 hr 10 and then did groceries on the way home. it's really convenient and hits stores when they're not busy too. people here talk about stray cats and lost dogs all the time on Next Door, but I dont see any. I picked up two dogs once who were...

We are rural and have seen cougars, bobcats and coyotes on our trail cam in the wilder part of our yard. we've set the camera other places and saw nothing but deer. there is a still risk. our other cats all made it through being outside ok. we make sure they are in at night when...

today is ending up as a day off. the plumbing people were here at 8. they pulled out the old tub and the hookups and installed new ones. also new hook ups for the sink since old ones were immovable. its a big deal to get the drain on the tub just right. apparently each tub is...
