Karen Carpenter's "We've Only Just Begun" was THE most chosen songs for the first couple's dance at weddings for a very long time. The story of her anorexia combined with the myth of Mama Cass Elliot's [a powerful singer with a beautiful voice] death [she died of a heart attack, but the story...

Bleach wipes are good, but I actually like washing dishes. Well - I like putting my hands in very warm water, anyway. It makes them feel better. Under the paper plates [never styrofoam!] I use a solid squarish plastic plate that doubles as a cutting board. That one gets bleach wiped after...

Jumbo plastic bowl [stays in or on top of microwave when not in use] full of water heated in coffeemaker, small scrubby brush w reservoir of dish soap. Wash everything, pile aside, dump water into grass, refill bowl with clean hot water to rinse. I use paper plates, but real flatware and...

I like the rice cooker best of everything I've used over the years. It works for pasta & sauce, mashed potatoes & steamed veggies, chili, even some soups if you take a few shortcuts so they'll cook quicker [cream of potato is one]. I like that I can brown meat, because it uses less power than...

Libra, welcome to EO. Please start your research by reading the FAQ in the Newbies Forum, there's a lot of answers to be found there.

Then you will just love Jeff Campbell! About Us! I've been a fan for many years, and the thing I like best is how unusual it is to find a book that sells products, but also explains how to make your own, if you would rather. IOW, the book wasn't written to sell products, but to help solve...

Welcome! Your first question is easy to answer: of course you can jump into this without any money - people have done it many times. Of course, the first time the truck is down for repair for a couple days, leaving you with extra expenses [ even if it's just motel bills] and no income, you'll...

I use the plastic bags [Meijer are much better quality, right?] but I save and reuse them as trash bags too. If the bagless thing spreads, I could get used to tucking a couple in my pocket before going into the store. Now I'm envisioning customers with pockets stuffed, looking like shoplifters...

Ditto for the Awesome, and Sprayway for the glass.

Ditto for the Class A in Mo - I had to parallel park a t/t, which never ever happened once I'd done it and was driving one. Stupid rule! Jackie: the pretrip is an important part of the test, because it's an important part of driving commercially. It was like a foreign language to me, too, but...

You're silly! Men are allowed to post here, and they only need to run for their lives if they say dumb things. You're safe. So far. ;)

Welcome! Lots of stuff to learn, definitely. Don't hesitate to ask, if you can't find what you're wondering about. If you prefer, you can send private messages to those who might be able to answer questions that aren't necessarily of general interest. A bit of reading will give you some idea as...

I've always stopped for the orange blossom honey, and it is good, but after loving the Van Morrison song [She's as sweet as] Tupelo Honey for so many years, I couldn't pass it up. The shop owner says Tupelo blossoms make sweeter honey than any other, and it's a seasonal thing - supplies are...

and the peach cider is as good [but not as sweet] as Tupelo honey! I hit the Fl/Ga gift shop, and loaded up on goodies: Toe jam is tangerine, orange, & elderberry. Frog jam is fig, raspberry, orange, & ginger [my favorite, so far], and I sure hope they sell some online, because I'm not entirely...

India, I have the ones that lock - maybe the truck is just 'bouncier', and I'm used to it. Or maybe it was Eureka Rd - that one bounced the turntable right out of the microwave! I forgot: I also like the plastic tabs that keep cords in place whether they're running along a baseboard or...

I love Ikea! [Pretty good food, too] I also love hanging things: on the wall, over the door, wherever there's room. Curtain hooks [upside down] serve well on the back of the seats, without damaging the fabric. I hang things on hanging things, too: my wall mounted acrylic organizer has a...

what she^^ said. And: I'm adding black grapes to my calendar [I forget whatever isn't written down] along with the red navel oranges that we can only get Dec- whenever they're gone, and only in Fl, far as I know, but they're worth the trip! Jeez, India, now I feel really old: my calendar used...

Last time I weighed in, I swore off chocolate, with or without the cream puffs. I'm really glad they won't have Cuban sandwiches, either. ;)

Mama never told me there'd be days like this: delivered this morning near Ft Wayne, in rain like Niagara Falls. In & out of the truck 5 or 6 times, no way to hold an umbrella [it wouldn't have helped anyhow], I was soaked literally to the skin - even the paper money in my pocket was dripping. I...

Haha Nan - I just tried to reply to a post that I didn't notice was in the FedEx forum, and I'm 'Nan' either, lol. :o
