Oh and I have been a single mom, a working single, mom, a married working mom, and a stay at home married mom and I don't think being a stay at home "is the hardest job in the world"- not even as single mom of 3 boys and a girl. It was definitley harder for me to be a single working mom than a stay at home mom any day of the week. I loved being home! Stone me, I told the secret - I don't think it's hard

I am doesitmatter abd I just ordered a similiar gnome for my dad from Amazon My parents are going to be gone for a few days over the weekend and they will come back to this proudly displayed in their yard, and I know they will secretly love it. I will also "dress the bear". They ahve this huge handcarved bear with a welcome sign in their front yard that my mom dresses up on holidays and we tease her horribly. Recently she asked who would dress up the bear if she dies, and everyone refused. I am going to dress the bear in a coconut bra, Hawaiin shirt, lei, sunglass etc so it's the 1st thing they will see when they get home. And then they will see the gnome too lol. And yes, I'll take a pic..or well you can see when my mom posts it on FB because damn if she doesn't post everything that happens every second of the day!

Hello, my name is darkchami, and I do not own a pair of kitten heels. I do own 2 bird feeders despite hating them. My husband desperately wanted them. (They attract rats.) I always return my cart as well as others that I find stranded in the lot. I still use 2 spaces after each sentence. I refuse to stop this outdated practice.

There was a thread a few days ago about a road that has a passing lane, but no one uses it when traffic is backed up. I said as long as I'm not breaking any laws or driving aggressively, I will use the lane to pass. That was the wrong answer.

ok, I'll bite . . . what is a foot flusher? Someone who uses their foot to operate the hand flush lever of the public toilet because they don't want germs on their hands or water in their face. Be warned - touchy subject!!!

My Name is Dawn and I have a bird feeder and a wind chime . I also have 3 pink flamingos thanks to my DH who at 44 has decided they are the best thing ever and is slowly gathering a flock of them. Oh and I let my kiddos drink kool-aid.

My name is Restless Spirit and I have 3 dogs (2 beagles and a mini-doxie) that I let sleep in my bed.
I have a small suburban house & lot and have a total of 2 bird feeds on poles in the backyard and 3 ground feeders on my front porch for rabbits/squirrels/chipmunks.
I have only tiny wind chime in a tree out back but it really moves (I have too many trees) and makes only a teeny-tiny sound.

Hiya, I'm Jayne, I am now a semi foot flusher thanks to the peas and losing 38 pounds. I never even heard about foot flushing before the peas. We go against the peagrain, we have a big church belly wind chime, 7 birdhouses, a bird feeder, suet feeder, 3 squirrel feeders, a fountain and 3 birdbaths. How's that for a backyard sanctuary! I too have a relative who still uses aol, cuz gmail is toooooo hard! Oh, and uses aol browser! I kiss my dog and I like it what does losing 38 pounds have to do with foot flushing Because at less than 5 feet tall with short legs and a big belly I wasn't able to get my leg up there to reach the handle. I still can barely reach it. I don't want to lean up against the bowl.

I was surprised somebody else didn't say it before me! I have no idea what that even means. It's from the Princess Bride. It is one of the signature lines from one of the main characters (played by Mandy Patinkin.) I have another one.... My name is not-so-anxious and I am watching a live stream of Jimmy Buffett who is playing in Houston tonight. I love Jimmy Buffett. I grew up listening to him (think pre-Parrothead days of the mid 70's) and my kids grew up listening to him. I used to rock them to sleep to Tin Cup Chalice...and I am very happy camper. I would only be happier if I was there.
