Happy Weekend! What is the ringtone to your phone? For me, it's the intro to Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple For Rick, it's the intro to Thunderstruck by ACDC

Happy Weekend! (It's raining here!) Name an item in your house and tell the story behind it. How did you get it? What is its purpose (if it has one)? Show a picture. Several years ago, we went to an Amish furniture maker about making a bookcase and filing cabinet. I wanted the bookcase for...

We went to Trader Joe's today. I only bought a few things: Olive oil, 10 pounds of unsalted butter ($3.99 pound and it's good butter), lower sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar. I love TJ's balsamic vinegar. What's your favorite grocery store? Where do you shop for groceries most often? Our...

Happy Weekend! Do you make a grocery list before shopping? Or do you "wing it"? Do you use coupons at all? I pretty much keep a running list. As I open the last container of something, I add it to my list. I use my list primarily for shopping at Sam's Club, but if I need milk or Rick needs...

Happy Weekend! What is your favorite Easter candy? Do you indulge? While my favorite candy will always be peanut M & Ms, I always want a chocolate bunny for Easter. It doesn't have to be a big bunny; I usually only eat the ears myself and the rest would be shared with Dear Richard. But those...

Happy Weekend! It's very cool and rainy here today. Perfect to do a bit of online shopping. I just pre-ordered Douglas Preston's Extinction on Amazon this morning. It should be here on April 23. What's the last thing you purchased, whether online or in a B&M?

Happy Weekend! Do you remember drive-in movies? Did you go to the drive-in? Mom and Dad used to take us to the local drive-in. Mom made sandwiches for us and we kids put our pajamas on, so that when we got home, we could just hop into bed. We never went to the concession stand or anything...

Happy Weekend! How old were you when you got your drivers' license? Who taught you how to drive? I was 17 when I got my license. Rick's sister taught me how to drive; Rick couldn't do it. (I taught our son because Rick was too nervous to do it. I also taught him how to drive a manual tranny.)...

Happy Weekend! Sorry for the lateness. We visited with Rick's mom this morning for a while and then lounged around the afternoon. So while I'm making dinner and the popovers are in the oven, I thought, "Holy crap! I forgot the QofD!" :paperbag: When you're introduced to somebody and you tell...

Happy Weekend! My apologies for the late QoTD today. The nausea started early this morning and is lasting pretty much all day. I generally feel crappy. It's that time of year again! The Girl Scout cookie season is upon us. What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie? Do you buy them? Of course, we...

Happy Weekend! Would you buy and live in a house that somebody died in? I don't think I could, esp if somebody was murdered in the house. Dying of natural causes is one thing, but if somebody was murdered, no.

Happy Weekend! Do you wear glasses? Contacts? How long have you worn glasses? Do you need to wear them all the time or only when reading or doing certain things, like driving? If you don't have contacts, would you switch over to contacts? I've had glasses since I was around 3 years old. I've...

Happy Weekend! Has does your style of cooking resemble how your mom cooked? Do you cook like she does/did? How different do you cook? I have many of my mom's favorite recipes and I use them. Some of them have been handed down from my grandmother and aunts. Her Old Black Joe cake is delicious...

Happy Weekend! Do you eat cereal? What's your cereal of choice? Do you eat it for breakfast or as a snack? We usually have a box of Frosted Mini Wheats in the pantry for Rick and Tabby to munch on at night. Tabby loves the stuff. Me? I love, love, love regular Cap'n Crunch! I really can't have...

Happy Weekend! What do you keep the temp in your house? What kind of heat do you have? Do you supplement with wood or coal? Our house is right around 68F. We have electric heat, which is probably the worse kind of heat to have. I couldn't live without the electric blanket on the bed. What...

This morning is the first that I can remember in a while that I've been at the computer with my coffee in the morning. I just got home from the hospital last night. Poor Rick has been going back and forth from home to the hospital, taking care of the girls, all that good stuff. That last bout...

Happy Weekend! What are you using to watch your TV? Do you have cable? Roku? HuluLive? You Tube? We're still using cable and the bill keeps increasing every time we turn around. Every once in a while, we talk about cutting the cord and trying either HuluLive or You Tube, but Rick is worried...

Are you doing anything special for the New Year? Around here we'll be watching movies and such, our normal routine. I'll probably fall asleep and wake up several times. I know we're going to watch the next episode of Reacher and probably the new(er) Indiana Jones movie. Not sure about anything...

This is going to be long, so if you're not up to reading, that's fine with me. Firstly, I thank those of you who PM, email, call me regularly. It means more to me than you will ever know. You have turned into true friends and I appreciate you so much. I have bladder cancer. All those UTIs...

A little while ago, we were talking about dried corn. This is the stuff that Rick likes so much. It's getting harder to find, but if you think you might like it, try to find it. It comes in a small package, but it is also found in cans that you just open and heat. I usually use the packet...
