  1. A friend of mine needs a seamstress that can repair a jacket..if you know someone please PM me with the number so I can get it to my friend

     

    TIA!

     

    It depends on what the repair entails and where it is, rip or seam opened for instance. More info needed. Also, is it a man's or woman's jacket?

  2. Hi ya RetiredTeacher,

     

    Yeppers, I am going to be set up at Grands, the gas station/convenience store on 92.

    (Hiram Sudie & 92).

     

    The fish shaped feeder are adorable. I personally love those myself. Be cute chresitmas gift for cats or cat owners. Price on those regularly $25.00 but Black Friday/Saturday and for pcommers it will be little less, $22.00

     

    Anyone want to order one in a different color just let me know. Right now I have one pink and one blue.

     

    Might have to stop by then...

  3. Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential down pour.

     

    The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.

     

    I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'

     

    My loving wife of 20 yrs replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that stuff?'

     

    I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I have stopped fishing.

  4. what a great idea. however, my daughter wants a stage. Yep she asked if we could build her a stage in her room, she is 4 yrs old. She is also asking for a real microphone and stand....

     

     

    I don't know if this will work for you but one of the new sewing mags I buy had an idea for a stage that you put in the doorway on tension curtain rods. It was made with velvet, tassels, and fancy fringe but could be much simpler and still be cute. The "actor" can stand in a hall or closet and give the performance. A short curtain could be used for puppet shows.

  5. 5 year old is having a MAJOR melt down tonight. I really wish these would stop. He is screaming at the top of his lungs and hitting my walls. He has torn all of the sheets and blankets off of his bed

     

    My youngest could go from sweet to ugly in a heartbeat. Once he was in the middle of one and I took pics of him. After he'd cooled down I showed them to him and he seemed embarrassed. Whenever he started to melt down, I took the pics out and we looked at them together. He eventually stopped altogether but we diverted a lot of tantrums with the pics and discussions.

  6. We've declared a "hard candy Christmas" this year among family and friends. We are making most gifts.

     

    One thing I have done in the past is make coupon books, on the computer or hand-drawn, with coupons for babysitting, trips to get ice cream, a movie, a sleepover for children or grand kids, a home-made dinner or cake for busy grown kids, etc. They love them and it makes Christmas last for a long time!

  7. Both my brother and oldest son lived with me for a while when they moved here from other places. My Mom has been with me for 5 years now and my youngest son lives here. I dread when he moves out since that will keep me housebound. Mom is 90 and we don't leave her alone.

     

    I would take in any of my relatives in a heartbeat.

  8. DC went to the Rainbow Bridge today. He was 20 1/2 years old and his best buddy Max has been gone for a couple of years now. I know they are running and playing tonight. RIP old man. We miss you.
