Color me gobsmacked! I wonder what color that would be?

Glad to see the fish have returned to their spawning grounds. Team fish

John, you are so right about that website. It's terribly annoying and near impossible to use. I tried but I quit after 5 minutes. 5 precious minutes I can't get back.

Why do Mary Janes and peanut butter kisses/taffy always go gummy and melty within days of purchase? You sure don't want them rolling around in your purse.

Wow! Best one I've ever seen. Looks like a real labor of love, must have taken months to put together. Bravo/Brava! Great effort, people!

I grew up with my mother using Macintosh apples for her pies. I still use them but they are hard to find sometimes. I like my apple pies to be soft not crunchy. And I like the balance of sweet and tart in the Macs. I will be making one for Thanksgiving. It's better than pumpkin pie, IMO. I like them both but apple pie just brings back so many memories of family get togethers. The best one was when my parents got into a mashed potato fight. good times...

When I was 5 I found a metal concrete mixing tray/bowl that my dad had left unattended in our backyard. It had collected a large body of water that had turned swampy and I found hundreds of tadpoles/pollywogs. froglets - call em what you will swimming around. I put a few dozen into a large mayo jar and put it on my bedside table to watch them. Close to bedtime I was looking at my jar of frogs when an altercation occurred within. It had become a feeding frenzy. That was when I learned that tadpoles will eat each other when there's nothing else to eat.

Perhaps I missed it but I was looking to see which candy was now top of the favorite list. Would you mind telling me what candy won?

They would make great CAPTCHA photos.

When I was a nanny for 2 little girls I cared for there was a day when they came running to me to tell me a bird was in their garage and couldn't find it's way out. The garage had long thin rectangular windows and this poor hummingbird was frantically banging into one window. I figured it must have been there a good while and probably was very tired of flying. I approached the bird and held up my arms like a tree branch might look and extended my index finger and stood very still. The bird latched onto my finger. I lowered my arms and curled my hand around my other hand which had the bird. It was very still, just watching me. I told the girls to slowly come to me and the 3 of us got to look at this beautiful bird up close. I then carried it outside and took my cupped hand away. The tiny bird looked at me, then looked around and flitted away. I must say those girls were mighty impressed with my bird catching skills that day.
