How was it, Amanda?! I was thinking of you last night! They had a midnight showing of HP at our little theater in town and my son went with some friends. He's still asleep -- are you doing in to work at your normal time? Details, I want details! :D

I am going with a group of friends to the Harry Potter movie next week, and we're doing costumes, so I am gonna do Snape again. Any suggestions on the best way to get my hair black for the occasion? For my HP Party, I used the black spray, but it was kind of messy. Ideas?

This week I had my phone service switched to another company due to customer service experiences. However, the tech from the new company also swapped my computer's DSL line over to the new phone line. That line had been tagged! This means I lost my DSL. My server put me back on dial up so I can at lea...

I would like a reliable phone service with good reception, reasonable rates which hopefully include long distance to Canada and conscientious customer service. Any suggestions?

Happy Independence Day- may you all stay safe as you celebrate. I'm heading over to join our church family with fellowship and the normal American potluck picnic foods. Mark and Verlie drove over so I'm having a good time with them and looking forward to catching up on chatter :)

Wow, two cultural icons from my youth gone in one afternoon! I wasn't one of those maniac MJ fans, but who could resist his dance hits like "Thriller" and "Beat It"? He was one month older than me, so I literally grew up with his music. I had a little record player and a 45 of "...

I would like to start up a message board for my chorus. Could you post links to the sites you like. Hopefully the host's name/link is on the board and I can check it out. Photo posting which includes animated gifs is a very important feature requirement.

For some reason stores are not overly eager to carry peppermintstick icecream. This is my number one favorite summer time treat. Mint chocolate chip just doesn't cut it!

I finally tried one of those suggestions that come within the abundance of friendly e-mails sent my way.

A robin is building her nest in the sugar maple outside my window. It's difficult to get a good view of it. I'm not sure how durable this one will be. It is only resting on one branch and a lot of nesting material is dangling below it. I hope she knows what she is doing.
