February 6th may work for me, as January is already pretty solidly booked.
I am hopeful that life will have somewhat of a consistant a routine by then!

carpevita

Many jingles.

I'm a big fan of tickets--to the movies, or a museum or local zoo or event.

Trump may be the catalyst which brings the gop back to its senses.
But I'm not gonna hold my breath.

carpevita

Fabulous news---so glad you are through that tunnel!!

carpevita

Fwiw, if your dr approves of it, elderberry has proven excellent at virus protection in my household. Elderberry syrup in a cup of hot water before bedtime has kept me cold and flu free for quite a few years.

carpevita

NICE!!!!!

carpevita

LOl, that's hilarious!!!

The camper is still at the nudist resort---i'll have to make a sign next year for it!

carpevita

shoot, none of you like zippity do da farm lol?!! proud horse carpevita is a play on my last name, so i'll be keeping that for personal stuff, but the homestead itself needs a name, as does our farming endeavor---we think zippity do da farm will be fun presence at farmers' markets next year, so for ...

Tonight I have bourbon cake for dinner and hopefully an early to bed time.

carpevita

I like to give movie theatre tickets when I need a gift card.

carpevita

My heart hurts for you just reading about it. feel better honey.

Home is where my community and loved ones are. I lived in Vermont for 32 years and left a couple of years ago. I spent many months checking out areas around the country to settle in, but as it turns out no where felt as homey as Vermont, and so I returned. Just bought a homestead a couple of weeks a...

carpevita

Thanks for your great suggestions--its too much fun to think of them all! Anyway, today the four of us--me and my bff and her dh and their fab aussie doodle went for a long walk in the hundred acre wood. We found a big tree with fairy doors built onto it--three stories worth of keebler elf housing!!...

carpevita

What evokes the spirit of our endeavor without being cutesy or corny? My friend and I have been talking about living in community for many years. She and I have each had large multi person households, and now we've finally bought one for ourselves. Its on ten acres and we have already started thinki...

To be clear--Tabby wrote the first part of the above quote--my response was that I did neither. And sure Kathy, given the circumstances I have good reasons to be angry, AND I own a Glock. So what stops ME from shooting up a crowd of innocents? My mental stability? My religious beliefs? My fear of pr...

"If someone you loved died of cancer, you would be doing everything you can to support cancer research. You would even request donations in lieu of flowers at the funeral. If someone was killed by a drunk driver you would become a flag-bearer for MADD - and you would expect others around you to...

carpevita

I remember those chili bacon wrapped sticks! And wonder, would they work with pretzel sticks ya think?
Also, where is Lmaris these days anyway?

carpevita

(((((((((aw)))))))))))

he was a lucky boy to be with you ---and i'm sorry for your loss.

carpevita

Millions of all of the above sent for the wee one and his poor worried sick family.

carpevita

the entire debate shift from gun control to mental illness control is totally mind boggling. Mental health is a relatively new medical field and we still don't understand it. Furthermore, I saw some stats where only 1% of the mass shooters in the US were mentally ill or had mental illness historys ...

carpevita

The comparison horse/man is a little weird. When I get myself a horse, heart horse or not, changing it, training, telling it what to do, dominating it, is a healty foundation of the realtionship. *I* certainly don't want to go into a relationship with another human being under the same premise. ;) ...

carpevita

True-- your goals inform your actions especially in times like this.
Just for clarity--what does re-set breakers mean and why would a former tenant want to do that?

carpevita

Tabby you're so right. People suffering from any mental illness can be so terrified of the diagnosis, not to mention the stigma--of which I am guilty too I'm afraid--its no wonder its so terribly difficult to make headway. Dealing with this requires utmost compassion and understanding, as well as fi...

carpevita

Hmm, does anyone know the stats on gun violence since the mental hospitals were closed?

carpevita

I am very afraid of some people who are suffering from mental illness, not afraid of guns at all. Our state mental hospital was closed and the patients now live in group homes or on the street. Those folks---the ones who cant or wont stay medicated and are wandering the streets are much more scary t...

carpevita

I had something similar happen with someone whom I thought was a close friend.
Karma is indeed a bitch--and the wheels of karma grind slowly but infinitely fine.

carpevita

We knew a girl called joycie cunlives which was easily transformed into something very filthy.
I always felt sad for her and I would have changed my name the first time a kid said it to me.

carpevita

I was just looking at these today!
My latest pet peeve is with my slow cooker--after an hour every setting just gets to and stays at a rolling boil--and I prefer much more sensitive settings if possible.
So how reliable are the temperature settings on this slow cooker, if you know?

carpevita

I am better now, though tbh the date of his death is today--however I saw his spirit leave on the wed eve before thanksgiving morning---so that is the anniversary in my mind. Yesterday I went for a long walk, had a relaxed early dinner w old friends and then a late dinner w my housemates--so I had p...

carpevita

(((((((((robyn)))))))))))))
thanks you guys--its wonderful to still have you all as a sounding board. Thank YOU chance, for making it possible here.
I stayed home and am better today---like a page has turned maybe.

carpevita

Last year on this day my love went to heaven, of that I am sure.
But he left me behind, which feels like hell.
I cant stop crying and am canceling my trip tomorrow--too big a crowd and I cant face them---I cant do this, I just cant.

carpevita

Chicken breasts sautéed in butter than poached in a bit of broth with broccoli. Served with lots of freshly grated parmesan.
Leftovers mixed with farfalle for lunch tomorrow.
I still cant cook for one, its a good thing I like leftovers!

carpevita

I don't think it will work--------best to bring one to me to test for you-------------so you wont be embarrassed or anything...

carpevita

I'Il bring this to my new oncologist's attention---the cancer I have usually manifests as pancreatic or small cell lung, so this test could be important to me, I really appreciate your sharing it. Fwiw, so far my tumors have been feel-able, and close to the surface. I like to think that my body is p...

carpevita

I wonder why this nation is willing to pay for 200 new mosques in Germany, but wont take in any refugees themselves. And why does the rest of the world say nothing? http://offgridquest.us/saudi-arabia-has-100000-empty-tents-with-ac-for-3-million-people-theyve-taken-zero-refugees/nggallery/image/saud...

carpevita

YAY Wicky!! WOOT WOOT!!

So how about a teardown? Are there any falling down homes left there or in a neighboring town?
Abandoned anything you could get creative with?

carpevita

Thanks guys, I cooked some parsnips in oil til they were browned and soft, removed them and then cooked medallions with just salt and pepper.
The parsnips added just a touch of sweetness and it was really good, i'll do that again for sure.

carpevita

Do you want sporty or dressy?
Old school or new fangled fabrics?
I like wool lined with polar fleece myself, athletic styles will offer wind resistance, waterproofing, micro this and that.

carpevita

This is where my thoughts run to as well. I assume most Syrian refugees would prefer to return home, but how does the world keep them safe from the terrorists? Also is it possible that the cost of returning them and keeping them safe while they rebuild will be similar to what each country will spend...

carpevita

What scruffy said for sure.
I bought a winter coat in Rome years ago and it was the most stylish and warm coat I ever owned.

carpevita

I wonder how to help too. I get that people are scared, but who is more scared than those people fleeing for their lives?
Who is the enemy? Is it us? Or them?
I'm reading about the Saudi government and am disgusted we are in bed with them.

carpevita

Oh Wicky I am SO happy for you!

carpevita

I've got 3 lbs thawing --last month boneless tenderloins were on sale for 2.49 a lb, so we stocked up on a half dozen--these are the last two. Atm we've got the crockpot and electric burners as the oven isn't working, and my friends (housemates) are getting pretty fed up with the endless crockpot me...

carpevita

If you think it is viral I highly recommend Elderberry tincture or syrup. I make a tea and drink it a few times a week during cold and flu season.
Feel better soon!

carpevita

SpiritPaws you give me room for thought here. I've never been a fan of organized sports and the endless funds poured into them--I see your point though and have rethought my position on the subject.
THANKS!!

carpevita

Great looking book---and I know at least three, no four people who will love it--thanks!!!

carpevita

I gained over 50 lbs within a year after chemo and radiation. Was sick as hell too, but that's resolving now. For me, cleaning stalls a couple of days a week gives me the movement I need to regain fitness. I only lose pounds when I restrict myself to salads twice a day, with one low carb meal too. I...

carpevita

Good point--though I wonder-----would ISIS would be so strong now if the resources of that region hadn't been so used and abused by western businesses' and governments' interference for so many years? Iow, if oil simply didn't exist there, so no big businesses or governments got to implement their a...
