I just loved Beetlejuice. As many times as my kids wanted to watch it, I was there on the couch right beside them. Thanks for the good memories.

Hey Katie, thank you so much for the nice words! :-) Comments like yours encourage me to go on with these recipes :-)

Zucchini stew sounds amazing, I love eating and yet am often a lazy boring cook. I'm a impatient vegetarian. BUT this is a great recipe I can do, keep the great ideas coming, I love your cooking style, so do my two daughters. They thank you as Mom is a better cook now. :)K

Mira, Glad you liked it, there is no denying you're falling in love once you understand the signs.

Hi Jo :-). Saw that thread! Very useful!
I might just write an article one day. At this point I'll get tied up in knots if I try to do it :-))

exactly! This whole concept hit me when I was a waiter (at Denny's!) and my day was escalating from good to horrible by the end of my shift. I spotted the pattern and widdled the variables down to a simple truth- it only takes one push to start a snowball effect, and if you don't stop it while the snowball is manageable- there is no stopping it until it crashes into something! Through experimentation I started to really take inventory of my day and the moment things started down hill... after several weeks I figured out that it was one benign comment (negative i.e. I don't want to be here or I want to be somewhere else) can start a snowball and once it's going the thought stream flows through a filter you create.

I started to catch myself every time I started to say something or even THINK something that wouldn't make my day better- the bad days stopped and I noticed I not only stopped the bad days and stress, I was MUCH more patient. I just applied this to every part of my life in different ways (this poem being one of them) and things are amazing and clear.

I do thoroughly recommend Discworld. I have the whole series on my book-shelves and I've re-read every one of them several times over the years. There's few other books that I can say that about.

This is an amazing review. Such good writing and you have convinced me I have to read these books.

Great article. I was born here too and quite surprised to see mention of Oshawa on this site. Highly doubt many people would be familiar with the city but I love it!

I can so see that! I'm not going to be able to see it again without thinking it.

Wow! Fascinating. Could all that water have anything to do with the legend of the flood that is so universal?

I always just make it clear at the beginning that I'm not interested in making a purchase: just browsing. The salespeople that will still give you attention and respond to your questions are the ones you want to deal with!

Oh wow..this reminds me so much of the Shire from LOTR. Absolutely stunning.

Hi Ben,

Sounds like you're having some amazing success with Chitika, even if it's a little mystifying how the ecpm has fluctuated for you.

I'm wondering if it was natural ebb and flow. All income on-line seems to drop during the summer months, then start climbing from June with a real leap around now. That would fit with your September jump.

Let me ponder this, and see if I can elicit an answer from those in the know too.

Thanks for reading and I'll get back to you on it.

yours
Jo
