    Who else have this odd trait? Out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

    I wear over-the-counter reader glasses when I need to read something. After years of not being able to find them, even when they are perched on top of my head, I finally bought a pair of glasses for every room in the house and all of the vehicles and for my purse. I even have a pair stashed...

    Who else have this odd trait? Out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

    I have a good memory of where everything is supposed to be. I wish my husband would thoroughly look through the refrigerator before he opens a new jar of something. Right now, there are multiple duplicate open jars of pickles, jalapenos, salsa, honey mustard, jelly and jams in the fridge...

    Grey Wolves Are Back

    I have no fear of coyotes, either. They're more scared of us than we are scared of them. When I had dogs, I'd see my dogs stop and listen to the coyotes' howling and barking. I wonder if domestic dogs and coyotes speak the same language.

    The last thing that made you laugh

    I accidently bought a bag of flour with a hole in it at the grocery store yesterday. I vaguely recall hearing a PA system request for "clean up on aisle 4" (the baking ingredient aisle) as I quickly cruised with my cart around the store. By the time I got to aisle 7, a frantic guy with a...

    Good question. Politeness?

    Grey Wolves Are Back

    We have lots of coyotes and a declining population of native red foxes. It's a running joke on Halloween when the coyotes are howling that they are werewolves.

    Probably feral domestic cats.

    :rolleyes: It may be "normal weather" wherever you live but it is NOT normal weather in the southern US, we are not equipped to deal with such rare and extreme weather events, and people here die from such meteorological extremes. 16 people died in my state in the past 10 days from...

    Will your banana trees come up from the roots?

    I think the greenhouse will be useful in "normal" winter weather but not this arctic ice gale we've had the past week. We put in a concrete paver floor on top of bare earth in hopes that the floor would retain heat at night. I'm realizing that it's a greenhouse - not a hot house where I could...

    Regional foods

    Tail, shell and snail? I'd eat that, for sure. I love conch and turtle soup.

    What was the last thing you cooked?

    I made a loaf of banana nut bread and used pecans instead of walnuts. Then, for some peculiar reason, I tossed in a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Yuck. I didn't like it with the chocolate but husband devoured it. I'm a purist when it comes to banana nut bread.

    There are drop-off stations in most counties in my state where you can leave the deer head for testing by the State for prion disease. I don't want to eat any venison that hasn't been tested and certified as disease-free.

    It's 21 degrees here and the high today is only 31 so, yeah, ongoing damage here. I gave up on my greenhouse yesterday and moved the potted lime and lemon trees into the house. We were running 3 heat lamps and a small propane heater in the greenhouse and the temp still kept dipping below 40...
