If I was limited to just six spices/seasonings to use forever on everything, they would be:
Black pepper
Crushed red pepper
Turmeric
Oregano
Basil
Cinnamon

This is where a "like" multiplier is needed. A picture worth a thousand words at least, Ken!

I'm just saying that even in that case, they would have to be at least next door to your router for it to do them any good .. a WiFi hotspot has a limited range ..

So never live next door to your facebook friends?

What need is there to friend your neighbors on FB? You can talk to them IRL on a daily basis if you want to.

About 1/3 of a mile to either of my two closest neighbors from my house. I'd just as soon deal with them electronically.

Good morning, Porchers! Or, is that afternoon?

Dancing, how are you doing?

I'm doing a lot better than I was the first time I came home from the hospital. And, this time, slowly getting better instead of worse.

The first full day back seemed 2 or 3 days long, just like the first time. It would feel like 2 days since I had a shower (or some other such thing). But, it had been less than 24 hours.

I am being a little more cautious this time. Paying more attention to improvement or lack of it. So far, so good!

This is painting the laundry room day for us. Gotta couple repairs to make and the painting will commence. It's going to be quite a transformation. We're putting the old kitchen cabinets in there to replace the ugly ones. Those ugly ones would be fine in a garage or something so Mike listed them on Freecycle and that made the person happy who stopped by and picked them up. Nice. Otherwise they would have been broken up for the trash.

Nice! You get 2 remodels, and your old cabinets get to live on. I assume there will be pictures, right?

Warning: If'n you're having a good day, skip this post. But I just felt like coming 'home' to my extended family and letting go. This had got to be one of the worst days of my life.

When I got home from church this morning looking forward to a day of DIY renovating the laundry area - I got the news that my best friend for 30 years succumbed to a sudden and unexpected heart attach yesterday. I'm devastated.

We met when our kids were about 5 years old and became friends straight away. Our kids grew up together and we shared lots of happiness and tragedies together. Ed was the kind of friend that would drop everything any time day or night to help me out. And likewise I was there for him. We laughed together during the good times and were there to lean on each other throughout he bad times. And for both of us there was enough of each to go around.

Ed and I could really talk to each other. Probably said things we've never mentioned to anyone else about our feelings and how we each dealt with them. Like the Vegas line - what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Well what we could say to each other went no further for some of the talking sessions.

He was troubled for a long time and his health was going down. Dang ... no matter how we tried we couldn't get him off cigarettes and try vaping, even with the kits we gave him. He had coughing spells when I thought I'd have to rush him to the emergency room. His first marriage ended badly when the kids were grown. His oldest son has struggled on and off since a teenager with hard drugs. He second marriage started off really nice and he seemed to be really happy for the 1st time in a long time. Then she turned nasty, filed for divorce and took him for just about everything, including his house.

He wound up living in the basement of his older son's house along w/ the women his son was hooked up with. She was decent and straight but not too bright. The one night the woman and Ed had to throw Eddie out of the house w/ his belongings because once again he started riding the horse.

I'm trying to look at what ever positive I can see right now. He was on vacation w/ his daughter and other son (who is pretty successful roofing contractor). The were in Bethany Beach and doing a lot of beach time w/ his grandkids who were the light of his life. And out on his sons fishing boating doing plenty of fishing. So I guess if your time comes ... what better time then when your at one of your happy places, doing the things you really enjoy, with those you love.

We that are left behind are grieving ... but I pray he is at rest and his worldly troubles are finally over. Peace and love to you my friend you shall be missed but never forgotten.

I gotta quick now .. because I gone on long enough .. and I can't stop crying.

Peach and Love to all my friends. Thanks for being here.

Mike & Janet,
In catching up, I read your post and extend my warmest condolences to you.
Few of us are blessed with life long friendships, and I know you will cherish his memory.

Baby steps, DH! Pay attention to what your body is telling you & act accordingly. Don't push, it's ok to just stop for a bit or for the day. Sleep when you need to, & do all those things the Drs told you.

OK........I'm back from our trip, and I am so happy to be in my home, and can't wait to sleep in our bed tonight.

We got caught in the Washington craziness, and it was an absolute mess.

The trip up was a pleasure even though we drove straight thru (17 hours) and the days spent with family was full of laughter and joy, as usual. Wedding was good, although a bit unusual, but the party afterward was a smashing success with a pool party the next day.......we didn't want to leave, but we knew better and got a late start at 9am, instead of the 3am schedule.....thus giving us the dreaded Washington tie-up!
Didn't have Internet access save the one time I was able to post, but that's history, and now, we're home, home sweet home.

Will have to catch up on the other thread, and see what's happening over there.

I had received a couple of cards when I got home the first time. I was very happy with them. But, the second time I came home there were several more!

I would like to thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. And, your heart-warming cards too.

Thank you all so much for caring!

I watched a TV report a while back, can't remember if it was 60 Minutes or what, but they went into depth on the instability fracking is causing in Oklahoma and I think in Texas too ..

This song..."wow" ...when I was about 11 years old I wrote the words to this song and sent them to my sister in a letter. She was stationed at Ft.Pendleton and I missed her so much...she is 7 years older than me and my whole life I've looked up to her like as if she was my mom ((more than I did our mother )).hearing this just now bought back so many memories... nothing like 1972 !

Awwwww what a sweet story! If ya want to you should come join us in the google hangout sometime, specially if you're up late at night, there are usually at least a couple of us in there. Sign in - Google Accounts You don't have to do a camera if you don't want to.

Morning porchers....it is morning?!

Mornin Kay!!! hehehe

Those ugly ones would be fine in a garage or something so Mike listed them on Freecycle and that made the person happy who stopped by and picked them up. Nice. Otherwise they would have been broken up for the trash.

kewl!! That'll be neat for y'all and the person who got the old ones.

Deb, I'll bring you on down to the island and we can both take off to Timbucto!!

Wahoooo!! A cajun gal, and a Texas gal........Timbuktu won't know what hit em!!!

Since we basically had Miles all of last week 'cause he couldn't go to day care w/ his 'sickness'. I was snapping a bunch of pictures. Here's one of Janet's favs.

that's adorable.....looks like he's tryin to laugh and sneeze at the same time!! I do that sometimes!

You miss so much when you take a day or two off. Of course, I'm off on even my good days.

good to see ya hun!! Don't forget yur promise to come to the hangout more often!

I'm just saying that even in that case, they would have to be at least next door to your router for it to do them any good .. a WiFi hotspot has a limited range ..

I wouldn't want even a neighbor to use my Wifi without permission. Had one to come ask me years ago, and I didn't trust that kid at all so I said no. He was into all sorts of bad things. But can they see your pw? I know it's not a great idea, but some folks use some pw's for many things just cuz we can't remember a bunch of em. lol I did register for the copy of 10, if/when I install it, I'll have to remember to ask how to turn that off.

wow!!! we just had a hell of an earthquake

oh wow!! What size? Glad you're ok. And I'm with Willie, I think they're do to fracking as well. Fracking starts, earthquakes in Texas start often. Dunno if y'all had em before

I am being a little more cautious this time. Paying more attention to improvement or lack of it. So far, so good!

Good!!!

OK........I'm back from our trip, and I am so happy to be in my home, and can't wait to sleep in our bed tonight.

Wahooooooo so glad you're home and can relax now!!! well, after laundry, shoppin etc lol

I would like to thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. And, your heart-warming cards too.

Thank you all so much for caring!
