Okay, I didn't do any of that stuff. Instead, I worked on the directory and watched television for a while, then went for a 45-minute hike through the woods.

Thus far, nothing. The sun was coming up when I went to be this morning and I slept until after noon. I will be taking the trash to the transfer center, and I think I'll clean out the porch, then see what I can find to build a trellis for the (volunteer) kiwi plant to climb on.

When you post a video or link to somewhere else, it helps if you include a summary of what it's about or why someone might be interesting in viewing it because more people will click on it if you do that, thus contributing to the usefulness of the forum.

We don't have a lot of green vegetation here yet, but it's beginning. A couple of crocuses have come and gone but they are the only flowering plants so far. the lilies and the peonies are sprouting, trees are budding, and our lawn, such as it is, is beginning to green up. We have some bulb...

I don't like Greek yogurt, and Icelandic yogurt is even worse, so I go for the lighter stuff, like Yoplait, pretty much any flavor except peach, and I can eat peach yogurt, although it's my least favorite. I have yet to try kombucha. I don't know why, but my mind has labeled it as disgusting...

Interesting. Different sides of the world, and we both have a tradition involving the Cornish pasty. I grew up thinking they were strictly an Upper Peninsula thing, and didn't learn until much later that they originated in Cornwall, England. When I was a kid, they didn't serve them in...

I have my new electric percolator in my office, used only a few times thus far. Earlier today, about ten hours ago, I made a pot of coffee, and forgot all about it; instead, I have been running up and down the stairs to use the K-cup coffeemaker. I was about to go to bed when I noticed the...

I grew up in an area where Cornish immigrants came to work in the copper mines - the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where the Upper Peninsula pasty has always been a local favorite, which probably picked up Swedish and Norwegian influences along the way.

Tomorrow, I'll go order my glasses. I have the prescription, and it hasn't changed that much from my last one. My left eye has deteriorated more than the right one, which changed very little, but that's okay - I'm right-handed.

My immediate thought was to be concerned because colloidal silver is so often recommended for a whole host of things for which it provides no verifiable therapeutic benefits. However, I see it may have some benefits when used externally, though oral use is not recommended. I don't know about...

From a few years ago...

That's another common mistake that we often make - judging a church by its individual members. Christ should be the ultimate model, not a church deacon, elder, or even the pastor or priest.

In my house, as a kid, eggs weren't a premium food. Between the chickens, the bantam hens, and the ducks, we had more eggs than we could use, so when my brother (the one who recently died) and I got into an egg fight one morning while collecting the eggs, and threw all of them at one another...

The ones where he is looking to the left and up, he's looking at me in the window of our door.

Okay, I was finally able to get an eye exam. There isn't much of a change in my prescription. I do have Presbyopia, which could be a problem given that we even don't have a Presbyterian Church here in Millinocket. I think I'll lie down for a while. My eyes were dilated so being online isn't very...
