Not sure if many people will remember me, I haven't been here in ages. I do tend to drop in and out for no particular reason. So hello everyone! I hope you and your kitties are doing well. I'm doing great here. I got engaged a little over a year ago (not sure if I told you that at the time or...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a long time. I have been sneaking around a little lately so I thought I would be polite and say hi. Things are going great here. I got engaged last Christmas and two weeks ago we moved into our own house on a little farm (7 acres). We will be gradually...

Does anyone have experience growing cucumbers? I decided to try this year and I bought some seeds (for lemon cucumbers... they look so weird ). I tried to start the seeds inside in a biodegradable container and no luck. 3 of the seeds never germinated and the fourth one gave a small plant...

Ok, I don't know what to think anymore... My periods are two weeks late now and I have had nausea (no vomiting though), heartburn, lower back pain, weirdly sensitive sense of smell and sore breasts. Last weekend, my sister in law asked me if I was pregnant (that was weird... I didn't tell her...

As mentioned in a previous post, I travelled around Europe for a few weeks last summer. Here are a few pictures to make everyone (including me ) wish they could go on vacation right now. First stop: Okehampton, England A small village near a national park. It was beautiful... but so far from...

Well, I've always been sort of on and off with this forum, and never really active, but this is probably the longest I've gone without posting. So I'm back now. I've been telling myself that I had too much going on with writing my thesis, but I guess I can spare a few minutes to come say hi...

Hi, I am moving soon with my cats and already they are showing signs of stress (they get stressed easily... I'm not sure exactly what is causing it right now, but I have a feeling the move will only make things much worst) I went to the pet store and asked for something to help calm them down...

Well, I have had a few computer problems in the last few months, and each time, the company in question was very cooperative in honoring the warranty. But this time, it's another matter. I bought a desktop computer in December and to make a long story short, it stopped booting properly a few...

Ok, so I'm organizing a conference at school and things got screwed up with our alcohol permit, so we can't serve alcohol. We were going to have an informal pizza/beer event one night, and a more formal wine thing the next. Now we have to make it work without the beer and wine, and we want to...

I've been really lazy and bored tonight and I started playing this game: http://intelligence-test.net/part1/ after much thinking and a few searches in wikipedia, I found all the answers, except two. And it is driving me nuts! I'm missing #12 and #30.

I just finished making my very first gingerbread house () which will be a Christmas gift for my boyfriend's son. I will be going with my boyfriend to see his son on Sunday afternoon so we'll give it to him then. The question is... what do I do with the house until then? Will it keep ok at room...

As most people probably didn't notice (since this board is always so busy), I have been pretty much missing in action for a few weeks now. I was very busy with the end of semester work, and what's more, my laptop suddenly died a few weeks ago. But now I'm back online and I just finished my...

My boyfriend has been at his temporary low-paying job for almost a year now, and his contract ends soon. (non-renewable). Ever since he started working there, he was told his position was temporary until he got a good hang of the industry and then he would have a promotion. He is qualified to do...

Well, yesterday I had a great day with my boyfriend... we went to the farmer's market and came back with tons of stuff. I bought: 1 pumpkin 3 assorted winter squashes (one is butternut, one spaghetti and the other I'm not sure... I think it was called buttercup, looks like a small dark green...

Yes, I think I officially qualify as a nerd because I actually found that joke funny: FORTUNE PROVIDES QUESTIONS FOR THE GREAT ANSWERS: #19 A:\tTo be or not to be. Q:\tWhat is the square root of 4b^2?

I just received my credit card bill and there is a note at the end that says that since I am such a good customer, they have increased my credit limit by $1000. This is not the first time they have increased my credit limit without me asking or without even telling me beforehand. The first few...

Tomorrow I will be teaching for the first time. I am leading a seminar at the university on methodology in history. The prof gave us instructions about what we should do with our students and it's all fairly simple (a round of introductions, going over the course plan and then discuss the very...

After months of saying that I should get out of town for a few days, I have finally decided to go away next weekend with my boyfriend to a cute little village up north. I made reservations for two nights in a bed and breakfast. We will probably also go for one dinner at a nice restaurant (not...

My family is having a brunch tomorrow for my brother's birthday and everyone is brining something. I am making sticky buns (or at least attempting to ) I make the dough with the bread machine, refrigerate the dough overnight, assemble the buns (with the filling and so on), let it rise at room...

I was at a coffee shop yesterday and for the first time in a while, I decided to have some mint herbal tea. I had forgotten how tasty it was I have a mint plant growing in my balcony garden and I have barely used it for anything. (and that thing is growing like a weed). I am thinking of drying...
