Okay Jessy that one had me LOL. I especially liked the dog providing the romantic background. I had a cat with kidney troubles who liked to sleep on top of the stack of clean dinner plates. She also peed on a whole bag of stuff, including 2 bike helmets. We replaced them. Who knows what cat pee does to the safety of a helmet. -Robin

I have the pro account ($25 a year) and I recently found the Stats part (after having it for years) and was surprised to find a picture of the dining room in my old house had been viewed more than 20,000 times! It was getting viewed about 500 times a day, but the only thing listed was a Blog site, so no way to tell who's blog it was on, but obviously someone popular. I figured it most have been used on their main page to get hits like that. And they had been using it for a long time. Now my concern was WHY they were using it, was it to show a "bad example" or what? It was rather boring and small, so I figured if anyone used it, it would have been for a negative purpose. I deleted the picture - afterwards my husband said I should have substituted a different, objectionable picture for that one and see how long it took for link to be edited. Vindictive of me, I know . . . I like to view Stats - it's fun to see that some pictures I posted on message boards years ago are still being viewed. Most of what I post are "in progress" or detailed pictures in response to someone's question. I have benefited so much by what I find on the web, I'm glad that maybe a few of my pictures are around to help others.

6:30 p.m. Sunday-just came in from taking the garden off-(went out @3)-wasn't going to-wanted to keep it at least a month longer,but Jack appeared last night at some time and worked some of his magic-So,the wheelbarrow is FULL of green tomatoes,the majority the size of tennis ball and much bigger-saved the little tags so that I get the same breed next year;also picked the equivalent of an 8 qt basket of ripe or close to ripe ones-I've already picked and canned,eaten and given away at least a bushel in the past 3 wks. And all of that from only 8 plants.(There also was at least 1/2 bushel of ripe,green,and frost bitten ones that will be tilled in) Pulled up the cucumbers as well-a few quarts of pickles to do this week,and a 3L basket or so of some big enough for relish,but will be eaten by old Rondo,instead. Canned up 6 quarts of the little wee potatoes for the winter,and bagged 20# so far of most close to the size of my hand;still have a few hills to dig. That leaves the pumpkins,close to 15 for sure,all of various sizes;some were pulled,others left to grow some yet;there are a few of the little decorator sort,kinda cute little fellas;that leaves the dill,of which there is plenty,and the swiss chard-still some for me to put away for the winter and plenty if the deer decide they need a snack. Busy week coming up-massive canning operation ahead,3 friggin medical days(PITA)and then theres just the doggin I have to do-ahhh,such is the life! gotta love it!

We both have some hearing loss. Him more than me. My problem is I can't hear the words over the background noise/music. We now have a small, portable, rechargeable wireless bluetooth speaker. I sync it with the tv (your tv has to have that capability) and I can hear all the words perfectly. I love it. Use it all the time. It also works with my cell phone to play music. This is the one we have. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bem-Wireless-Mobile-Bluetooth-Speaker-HL2022A-WHITE-NIB-/152633965216?hash=item2389b17aa0:g:xvUAAOSwvZZZc3pH
