What I'm Reading This Week #21
Happy Friday all! I am beyond thrilled to not having to babysit seedlings indoors anymore. I know I need to babysit them outside now but I am going to have to do some serious research on how to stop algae and white mold because I feel like I tried all of the tricks and nothing helped. I can't wait for them to actually bloom. Well, my cantaloupe have flowers on them. I guess I'll have to get some knee high panty hose to hang them from on the trellis. I'll be keeping my eye on those bucket crops because I know it won't be long before critters try to come after them and when they do, I have insect nets waiting for them. HISS! So we'll see how phase two goes. Now let's phase into: 5 Best Compound Exercises to Strengthen Your Whole Body (Get twice as much done in half the time!) 10 Anti-Inflammatory Foods You Should Be Eating, According to Registered Dietitians (I wish I liked avocados, maybe if I made a sassy guac/salsa combo w...
You never cease to amaze me with the interesting links you find. Can't wait to get started on them. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe seeing eye dog poo story made me laugh. I knew the answer to that one because I've seen it in action. (I also knew that dogs can be trained to go on command)
ReplyDeleteThe "sissy" story made me eye roll. A lot of the examples didn't tell the full story, I'm sure. And there was a TON of parenting fail featured, too. Makes me glad I don't have kids (and aren't around them a lot).
Thanks..u always find the best articles!! have a nice weekend...
ReplyDeleteMy two biggest pet peeves are more in the verbal usage that written, and that would be "irregardless" (not a word, it's a double negative), and "ekspecially" (obviously spelled wrong, but that's how people pronounce especially and it's wrong!) Ok, off my Tide soap box now. For this weekend, it's a busy one. Meeting in the morning, shopping mid-morning for Thanksgiving, church with a friend late afternoon, phone call with mom to discuss Sunday (why do we need to talk about Sunday when I'll see you on Sunday?!? Don't get it, but I'm there). Sunday is Thanksgiving at my uncle's assisted living place. They put on a huge dinner meal for the residents and all their families and it's top notch class all the way. He was in his glory last year so we've decided to make it a tradition now since he can strut his stuff on "his turf". And it's just the right amount of family time....1 1/2 hours to drive there, 2-3 hours visiting and eating, then 1 1/2 hours to come home. And no one tries to bash any other family member of the head with a candlestick. That will leave me Monday and Tuesday to do prep work for Thursday. I have to work the day after, so there won't be any down time this week. So long as the snow and sleet stays away, I'll be relatively calm.
ReplyDeleteHa! How ironic that I didn't spell check myself! See, this is what happens when I'm critical about grammar....the karma police snuff me out within minutes! LOL
DeleteI love the grammar comics. I almost peed myself. How sad is that? There, their & they're along with your and you're are 2 of my big pet peeves but I was a little sad that to, too and two wasn't on there as well. I looked at some of the other ones from the link and they were priceless.
ReplyDeleteThe recipes could be interesting. The quinoa stuffing and pie crust both sound good. I think I'm going to stick with your stuffing but I may try the pie crust if my mom doesn't bring a pie with her.
The one about kids just makes me sad. It also makes me happy the school my son attends (and I work at) is small enough that this kind of crap hasn't happened. Not yet anyway.
