    What is the last thing you ordered from Amazon?

    That's cool! Was he the plastic chewer?

    Cooking hard boiled eggs

    I have something that works for us. Boil the eggs. When I want soft, and just barely cooked it's 8 mins. Fully cooked is ten mins (my family doesn't like runny eggs). If you cook them too long they get that green tinge around the edge of the yolk. Unappealing and not good for us, I think...

    Do Not Call List / Telemarketers

    Nice. If I had a house phone still, I'd get one of these. Now I get to block them from my cell. It's quite satisfying! [emoji16]

    Do You Use Nextdoor?

    I read NextDoor quite regularly. I'm really shocked at how some people think. And why do they complain about a recommendation that someone may post? Isn't that what the app is for? If I see a post I don't like, I just scroll past it (as do most folks) but there are some who just blow it up...

    Is the grass greener elsewhere?

    I've lived in many areas. Some fit us better than others. I always find something I like and miss about each place (as well as dislike too!)

    Bradford Pear Trees

    I liked that article. I used to admire them around the Washington DC area when I lived there. They were quite lovely.

    Technology! ARG!!!

    That's kinda how it all happens. For us, the older we get the tighter the money has been getting. For us we couldn't spend all the money you've spent on things. You're so fortunate to have so much money to repair things. We moved across the country. We sold our really great fridge with the...

    Rewiring an English Lamp for American Use

    Ok. Maybe there's something I don't understand. But if you pulled all the wire, and the socket, so that there is only the exterior (which is lovely btw) and got one of those lamp kits at home depot, I don't see why this couldn't be done easily.

    prescription eyeglasses

    There is another online glasses place worth checking out. It's Firmoo. [emoji165] I got several pair of glasses there recently: a progressive lens, a pair of prescription readers, and medium vision. I had a problem with the medium vision one. They tried to redo it but I think the frames were...

    Should I hang Mirror in front entryway facing door?

    Oh I meant to add. We used to have a mirror in the entry way. But it was on the wall behind the door. Very good there.

    Should I hang Mirror in front entryway facing door?

    Common sense and intuition tells me this is all wrong. I would not like that! Feng shui experts (I don't really follow but there is common sense in a lot of it) I think agree. They would probably say all the positive energy would shoot right back out the door or something. I say, does it feel...

    Oh nice! Sounds like you got a bit of everything! It sounds like you'll be all set [emoji4]

    Walking sandal recommendations for women

    I had suggested Tevas above, and the OP said that she had some already, but looked at the recent ones and saw some were cute. I looked and saw those Tirras too. I liked these the most, and may get a pair to replace my very old Tevas.This thread has made me remember to look at Keens too. Always...

    Goofy/Shoddy Home repairs

    We've had some problems with our houses, but the crappiest previous owner job was in our house we just sold. We bought it as a (in good condition) foreclosure but the bak wouldn't agree to fix this problem. We figured we could fix it easily but it sat for years until my husband devised a nice...
