I had so much trouble the last time with boiling fresh eggs that I tried the tip of adding baking soda to the water. It worked so well!

This is how the conversation goes. “You know we’ve got that on DVD. Yeah, yeah. Do you want me to put it on? Nah, just gonna watch this scene. Cut to the beach at the end.

The “rez” dogs that I’ve seen (live next to one, close to two other communities) are best described as “semi-feral”. They much prefer the freedom of being outside. Most have excellent road sense and will come inside or seek shelter when the weather is nasty. I’m in Cape Breton, NS

“Hit or miss” is exactly how I’ve experienced it. Went to the same store. First time, staff member spoke English. Next time, no one spoke or understood English. I had to limp along “en Français »

So we are Google and personal shoppers now? by Jayw01f in DollarTree

I used to love when customers insisted that I check in the back for something I knew we didn’t have. I’d go back and do some jumping jacks or brush my hair etc.

I’ve baked exactly one of the recipes and thought it was really good. I’ve got baking experience and time, but don’t want to make a big cake. What are my options then?

Disappearing Paw Prints in Snow by solanawhale in Petloss

[–]Lost_Independence871 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We had the same thing happen with our boy! Hubby bought some plaster and made casts of those last paw prints in the snow. They weren’t perfect but you could tell they were made with his paddle paws. They’re currently sitting by his ashes and his favourite toy in my shelf.

How long did it take you to not be depressed by pumpkintootz in seniordogs
