Re: Healthy Living Thread
Deegee, I hope Matt's coworker recovers and feels better soon. D. likes the neighborhood we're in but he tells me that he never really wanted to live in our city. Most of the towns around it are too expensive for us and at the time, we needed to live somewhere roughly halfway between my work and his... |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Thanks Marcy and Deegee! I'm not sure it's that much cheaper to live on the seacoast. I guess it depends on what we find. Oh, and we only own one condo. The one that's been having all the issues lately is the one we own. We're planning on putting it on the market in September. We're renting the cond... |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Happy Sunday! Deegee, I'm glad you're settled in your new house. I can't believe Matt forgot to hire movers! That's a huge job to do on your own. How's he doing, by the way? Marcy, I'm glad Marty's back home. Dee*Jay, I'm sure you'll ace your next exam. How are you doing, PumkinPie? I agree with wha... |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
I'll have to check this one out, too. I've never heard of it but after seeing this post, I googled it. It sounds really good. |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
Thanks, Deb. I'll try Virgil Flowers series but I think I'll skip the other one (I can't do brutal and graphic). I just finished reading Queen of the Big Time by Adriana Trigiani and it was really good. This is the second book I've read by her and I'm looking forward to reading others. I have Big St... |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
Zoe, Jonathan Kellerman (Alex Delaware is his character) and John Sanford (Lucas Davenport) do detective novels. Also look at Robert B Parker, his Sunny Randall is a female private investigator like Grafton's Kinsey, and his Jesse Stone is a police chief. Thanks for the recommendations, Packrat! I'... |

Re: Do You Read PRINT or Online Magazines?
Danners' post reminded me that I also subscribe to a professional journal and I read that online. Hmm, I haven't gotten it recently -- I should look into that. |

Re: Help with renter screening for rent out a room
We have a renter in a condo we own, but we used to work with a property management company who took care of screening people for us. Maybe you could contact a condo or apartment complex near you and see how they deal with this. |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Marcy, I can't say for sure because we still don't know what caused the leaks in the kitchen, but I think it's a coincidence that it happened all at once. I think the bathroom and the kitchen leaks are separate issues. I'm glad you had a good day, PumpkinPie! We have a concert at school tonight that... |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
VRBeauty, I'll have to check out Jan Karon's books. MC, probably my favorite John Grisham book is The Firm. I'm not sure if it was his first book but it was the first book I read (a long, long time ago). |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
Thanks, LittleRiver! That's what I thought (about the Brides Quartet). I do like chick lit, some more than others. I'm reading Adriana Trigiani at the moment, but the Nora Roberts' books are on my bookshelf, waiting for me. |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Good morning! Marcy, I'm glad you to to see your niece while she's home. Congratulations to her for graduating! The upstairs landlord paid for a plumber to come out and fix the leak. We'll have to see if he'll pay for new sheet rock for the ceiling. Hi PumpkinPie! Happy birthday (tomorrow)! I hope y... |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Hellooooo! I hope everyone's well. Hi Matata! Long post ahead...warning! :cheeky: It's been a busy few days. My parents flew out to see my sister today and do some traveling around the PNW. We went to their house this morning to say goodbye and pick up my mom's SUV. We used it to go shopping for a d... |

Re: What Jewellery Are You Wearing Right Now?
My engagement ring and wedding band, and a pair of small silver hoops. As much as I love jewelry, I don't wear a lot of it. I don't like necklaces or bracelets on me, so I usually just wear earrings and my wedding set. |

Re: How Do Americans Say Specific Words?
Ha, I didn't get it at first. I took the quiz and then looked for a summary of my answers and a score of some sort. I need to do it again. I'm from northern New England. Here are my answers for some of them: Pecan = pee-can (although occasionally I say pick-ahn) I say traffic circle (maybe rotary so... |

Re: So now I've got two RBs in solitaire settings...too matc
You could keep your e-ring a solitaire, as is, and turn your other solitaire into a three stone RHR. That's what I'd probably do. Or you could have a pendant made. Beautiful rings, by the way! |

Ok, DF's list puts mine to shame. Here's what's on my bookshelf right now. As soon as I finish the Adriana Trigiani books I'm reading, I'm going to check them out.

Aviastar , I haven't read Kathy Reichs but my husband and I watch Bones on Netflix. We're watching season 4 (or 5?) now. I'd love to check out her books. Didn't you just see her or was that someone else here? Jodi Picoult -- there are a few books I couldn't get into (The Tenth Circle is one of them... |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
I used to love The Library, and participated in our on-line book club, too. I read The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, the book we were supposed to read first, and had just read The Help so that I was able to participate in the discussion about it. It is a shame to be reduced to one generic book threa... |

Re: Do You Read PRINT or Online Magazines?
I read People occasionally (the actual magazine, not the website). Sometimes I'll flip through home decorating and vacation magazines while waiting for an appointment. I hate fashion magazines because they're all ads and I'm not really into trends. I don't read newspapers either. I like watching the... |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Thanks Dee*Jay! My "audition" went well, I think, but it's so hard to tell. I taught a math lesson for 30 minutes and the kids were great. There were 6 other adults in the room observing me, so it was a bit nerve-racking. It wasn't too bad though -- I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be.... |

Re: A Book(s) Thread
I tend to stick to the same authors, although I'm always looking for new ones. I love Jodi Picoult, Elizabeth Berg, Sue Grafton, Sophie Kinsella, Adriana Trigiani, Lisa Scottoline, and others that are similar. I've never been into science fiction or fantasy. Mysteries are good as long as they're not... |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Laughing at Marty's comment about attire when working form home. D. would say the same thing. He's kind of a loner -- he never really feels the need for a lot of interaction with co-workers. They'd go out for lunch and chat, but there were plenty of times when D. kept more to himself, ate at his des... |

Re: Healthy Living Thread
Marcy, I'm confused -- I thought you and Marty had sold the RV. He's going away for 2 weeks? Do you like having some time to yourself or do you hate it when he leaves on long trips? Happy birthday!

Re: BLOGS!
I read and subscribe to several teacher blogs, and I started my own this year as another way of communicating with my students' parents. I occasionally check out a few design and organization blogs when I have the time. It can definitely become way too time consuming! |
