It's not laziness, it's work smarter not harder. I like your tiny house stuff. Have you gotten into the book nook stuff yet?

I have no problem calling my self an introvert. I am what I am. I don't mind spending time with my friends and no I don't have a ton of friends just the few really good ones that we mostly (not always) agree on things that matter but not always the reason for the things and not often the how of...

I have done that too they come out yummy thank you for the reminder.

I have been listening to audio books while I work out and I am listening to some childhood favorites.... Right now I am listening to Swiss Family Robinson. I just finished the Little House series. For music I am all over the place depending on the mood of the moment. I have recently started to...

We're getting ready to start some camping again. And that means food thoughts again. We plan on doing some short trips to start and I don't want to over pack. (something I always seem to do). I want to do some fire with a stick cooking cause clean up is sooo easy. I have made lots of goodies...

I don't mind wind as long as there are no trees that can fall on me... We had another one fall last week, That makes 3 this winter. I'm not talking about little 25 foot trees this last one was well over 200 feet and had a base something around 6 ft. I'm getting really tired of my weak trees! Oh...

Not since the 70's. though that may have just been the drugs.........

I watched a seagull totally destroy a windshield once, laughed to myself as I thought what the owner of that car would do when they came back to their car filled with glass bits and a bit of shellfish and seagull poop. With in a week, it happened to me only just a big crack. That was a weird...

Already do all that... The totes sometimes though I use the bags for my bucket for nighttime use, I don't like flavored drinks so much and when I do it comes in a glass jar. I never bought water in plastic bottles (didn't like the taste or the cost). I have had people buy it for me when...

We started on some spring cleaning. I was out with the chainsaw and started cutting up one of 3 trees down from this winter. Hubby was feeling good enough to help! Only at this rate we will be done by Christmas. I think I need to put on ad up for free firewood just bring your own chainsaw. We...

I am not trying to discourage all you science folks that know so much more than me about all this, but I would again like to see some of the ways you are all doing whatever to slow down your own plastic eco methods. I hate all the plastic I seem to use when out and about. But also know I don't...

Hubby is a real painful numbers guy. He is a budget nut case. We shop sales and thrift stores. I cook mostly from scratch, and we drive older cars. We got a reverse mortgage. and we live in an area where our equity is still growing faster than our mortgage is. We are drowning in doc bills but...

I wish I had the link to an article I read awhile back about the wheat issues some folks are having. I don't know if I buy it or not. It was about the timing of harvesting wheat where decades ago it was harvested fully ripe, but now it is harvested somewhat green. Kind of like apples they are...

Lots of quilts and a warm hubby. A drive south. A small electric heater and warm thick sweats. Wool socks and a knit hat

I have to watch labels too. Hubby is always trying to find treats for me, but because he only reads the big words on the labels, I read the tiny print. I have a minor issue with wheat. I am really allergic to grasses. Wheat is a grass soooo... I love a good whole wheat bread or cereal or just...
