Unfortunately that reminds me that I still have to do my income tax - twice! I can't say I'm looking forward to it.
:lol3:
I do my income tax six times. One draft for the federal, one draft for the state. On the second run, throughly double-check everything on both returns. Then a third run on both fed and state in which I just check the math.
oh my friend i empathize, and sympathize, ive had back issues for years and the first thing they tell me is lose weight. well, i had the same issue when i was skinny...sigh..anyway, i have the same problem with low counters, tables etc. try putting a small step stool, a couple of bricks, anything about 6 inches high. stack old newspapers or magazines and wrap them tight so they don't shift..basically making a block and keep it under your ironing board. put your foot on it while u iron, do dishes etc, shift it to the other leg now and then, add an inch or so or take it away, whatever is most comfortable. it works pretty well for me, and if u use papers or magazines...worst case scenario and it doesn't work...u can use it for fuel lol. i re\ally hope it helps.
All this talk of food has got me going to make lunch too, while you are making dinner. And I love simple recipes but sometimes end up just making a sandwich.I should start cooking too, it will be bit of minced meat on top of bread today, quick and simple, but really good. Actually it is wheat buns that have cheese on top of them. Lot of Heinz ketchup will act as a sauce. Odd thing is that I prefer such over what you get at top restaurants, but I like things simple and that taste good, which is the most important thing, everything else comes after that
I did wonder which country would have the lowest but also how their standard of living was. Ohh, the dreaded Tax Time.....I am glad they do it here, right around the end of winter, because it is like saying "goodbye" to last year.
Ahh, that is a difficult one. Because if you are older then yes, he should listen to you. And guys are mainly "scaredy cats" when it comes to going to the doctors. They are all tough at other times, but just mention getting a "physical" and you would think you were asking for a kidney. I hope he will listen to you now....
I don't know if I should be the best sister. I did have to point out to him that when I had pneumonia, I was smart enough to see a doctor before I got to the point that I was almost dead.
I've got to do it for two different countries (Germany and the U.S.) every year, which is why I always dread doing it.
Hmm, I find Mexican food quite good actually, there is also rarely snow or ice too :lol3:
@MoochNNoodles is right I fear, nowhere to hide. It's just a lot of other posts have to be more serious, and logical and rational and sort of comprehensible to other people... there's just something about babble.
......
Wait, are you two planning on never speaking to the rest of us again....LOL....what kind of withdrawal is this?
Are you, @MoochNNoodles and @MServant,....planning on hiding out somewhere on TCS?
Are there even places to hide?
Until recently I didn't have a dishwasher and my dishes would just stack up in the sink until I got annoyed with them. Now I have a tidy young houseguest who gets annoyed by them faster than I do so she is my temporary dishwasher.
OK... serious babbling...( I mean lots of babbling as it can't be serious by definition.)
So I thought, at this very late stage, I should provide as many synonyms as I could:
Here goes:
prattle, rattle on, gabble, chatter, jabber, twitter, prate, ramble, blab, blurt, burble, blather, blether, blither, maunder, drivel, patter, yap, jibber-jabber, slabber, gab, yak, twaddle, run off at the mouth, talk nineteen to the dozen, verbal diarrhoea, talk the hind leg off a donkey
and the actual definition according to the Cambridge dictionary: to talk or say something in a quick, confused, excited or silly way. Which just about covers it, really.
Are the roots even longer than Horsetail weed? That used to be our never ending nightmare when I had an alotment with friends, the rhizomes go on for ever and ever and ever, and it's been around since the dinosaurs apparently.
Cycad replanted. They have the world's longest roots! Since they're an ancient plant and can live for 1,000 years, I guess they've got the whole survival thing sorted.
Wow @AbbysMom, your brother is lucky! I'm not sure I'd be quite to kind to mine. Mind you they both have wives to look after them so I shouldn't have to!Thank you!that's really sweet.My brother went into the hospital Tuesday night. It was a bit scary at first. He's still in the hospital for a bit longer, but is going to be OK. I'm starting to cook food to put in his freezer for when he gets home. Macaroni and cheese is in the oven right now. I keep popping in to babble while cooking.
English has way more words than other "world languages", in part because we've taken so many from other languages. Sometimes it drives my students nuts. German will have one word, and English about twenty. "Stall" is a great example; it can be used for most animals in German, but we have hutch, coop, sty, stable, etc..MServant said:
Going back to good old UK adverts, there's one running for a supermarket at the moment and the kids say dad wants a new dish washer but mum doesn't, and dad's in the background slaving away at the kitchen sink.I read that someone wrote they don't have a dishwasher. I didn't until 2003 when we moved here. My hubby is the main dishwasher. I just stuff them in the metal thingy when he isn't home.
Don't let your sister ruin all the fun and excitement. Some people are just worryworts.
I did indeed make a table for woodworking, measuring it's height it is 103cm, that is what level I need to have table for it to be comfortable level, trying to find any table of that height from shops is just about impossible
