Hey, great idea! I used to drink Cappuccino's too but switched to Lattes and Flat Whites.I don't like snacks, but I am obsessed with Cappuccino! We should start a coffee thread.

I've got a canister of Vanilla Cappuccino & a canister of Vanilla Latte here right now. I've been comparing them. The cappuccino is definitely better! Much richer.I used to drink Cappuccino's too but switched to Lattes and Flat Whites.
There was a contest at one of my friend’s child’s school and he won by memorizing Pi to 240 numbers!Comes around every year on March 14. Happy Pi Day everyone!

Thank you for that piece of serenity and mental health break from the virus.I saw this idea posted somewhere online about taking a mental health break from COVID-19 and the person who suggested it had posted this. Just beautiful.
I have some milkweed plants, and saw a few Monarchs last summer. I ordered some more seeds, and collected some seeds from my plants last fall- they have been cold stratifying in my fridge for the winter and this weekend I plan to plant them indoors in little pots and transplant when it's time. I captured a Monarch caterpillar last summer and raised him in an enclosure on my patio. He lived and turned into a butterfly! It was so amazing to watch. It was a male, and one that migrated to Mexico. You can tell the migrators and sex by their wings.That sounds like a good idea, do you start it in a pot?
I borrowed Fast Times at Ridgemont High from the library. Can't wait to watch it as it is one of my favorite comedies. Sean Penn, sooo hilarious! I also own Wedding Crashers, another one that cracks me up! I just watched Pretty in Pink a few weeks ago but I could watch it again.
Liquid wrench or WD 40 on the shut off valve and a big wrench might work to turn the cold water off. I am not good with things with two many mechanical parts but I think there are washers that go bad. If you have to I suppose you could shut the water off to the whole house, take the faucet apart and bring it into a hardware store for advice and replacement parts. Good luck!
I love magnolia trees. One day I would like a property where I could have one.Spring is in the air …

Uck. I hate working on any sort of plumbing. Is the valve stuck open? I agree that you should turn it off at the source just to be safe. What kind of faucet is it? Is it leaking at the handle? I hope you get it sorted soon!
When we moved into our house, we had a lot to do. There was a leak under the sink that had gone on so long that it rotted the floor. I had climbed under to take a look to see what needed to be done and put my hand through the --mushy--floor and into the basement. The plumbing was a mess in general and after four years of dealing with a double sink that would constantly back up, more leaks than I can count, and a kind-of gross faucet that never seemed to get clean, I finally put in a nice single sink, some new plumbing, and new faucet.
You could take a picture of the faucet and take it into a home improvement store like Lowe’s to see if someone with plumber expertise can guess at the problem. They might also give you hints on unstucking the shut off valve.Thank you for helping me. No, its not leaking at the handle, it's leaking from the facet. The valve underneath the sink just won't turn, or turn much, in either direction. The hot water valve turns but not the cold water one. I hate the thought of turning off all of the water, but if I have to then I will do it.
Have you tried WD40 or PB Blaster and tapping the knob going both ways with a wrench several times between sprays? With any luck, your leak is just a washer issue.Thank you for helping me.

I've used Liquid Wrench and taps, and letting it sit for a long time on this very type of knob and it did finally work.Have you tried WD40 or PB Blaster and tapping the knob going both ways with a wrench several times between sprays? With any luck, your leak is just a washer issue.
I had no idea about a scam, I'll have to look that up Maybe my cable company has Free HBOIt is free HBO weekend on Xfinity cable and I am watching a fascinating documentary of the McDonalds Monopoly scam.

What is the title of the book? I am glad they are waving fines.There was one book I had really wanted to read and was disappointed that I had to return it. Well, I found it on the floor just now!!
I have always wanted to grow pumpkins. I have no idea why, but it has been a life-long failure. I have gotten a few blooms and one tiny pumpkin that died before it turned orange. It was no bigger than a tennis ball. I have flower beds around my house and a wildflower patch out towards the edge of our property that grows well enough. I also have been successful with a black raspberry bush. Pumpkins, though, are a mystery to me no matter how many books I read or directions I follow. I even had the soil tested.I am dying to get out and plant my vegetable garden, but it is just a tad early for that yet. I have been starting things indoors so I can be ready when the soil warms sufficiently
I was unreasonably mad when I heard about the scam! That was the year that I went with my (mush disliked, now ex) mother-in-law from Ohio to Missouri to help a friend. Every cursed meal we ate was from McDonald's because she thought her chances of winning were better if she went to a bunch of McDonald's. We were gone for six days. Six days of nothing but McDonald's two to three times a day, and it was all a scam!It is free HBO weekend on Xfinity cable and I am watching a fascinating documentary of the McDonalds Monopoly scam
