The photographs are amazing! You were very brave in dealing with the lace monster. I have a book on waterfalls in New England and my husband and I love taking day trips to them. It's very calming and beautiful to sit by them.

@Sunforged Yes, the same. Herbs are versatile that way. I'll have to do a Wizz on cocktails. :)

I often order bitters in my muddled Old Fashioned's , Not many bars carry them anymore. though. Is it the same herbs?

Happy Saint David's Day!

My daughter loves the hunger games, she gets so excited every time the advertise the movie on the television. These school supplies are fantastic. School kids will love packing these items to school. Great stuff here thanks :)

Awesome this is a brilliant party planning go to guide, you've thought of everything. This makes for a beautiful butterfly shower, love the theme. I love the butterfly celery and pretzel treats, those would be fun for a kids party. Love it!

Nice ideas, I really like the personalized flask, but if they don't drink the cuff links would be really nice as they could wear them to all the weddings they attend in the future. Nice article

Very nice collection of work clothing for the tall man. I know how hard it is to find tall clothes. Its amazing how hard it is in fact. Online is the best option for tall men to find tall work clothes, or their wives, who ever does the shopping.

Thank you Katiem..

Very VERY GOOD, and so many have lived such a yearning. I love your gift! Beautiful indeed!

Oh yes stress, I can see it on the facial expressions of so many people everyday all day long. Its sad the amount of stress people hang on to. I meditate, it releases the pressure of the day not allowing it to build to the dangerous stress. Great tips and facts on stress. Thank you for covering such a serious yet very common ailment in our society.

Great article, I experience seasonal depression. I love getting outside and being apart of the great out doors but don't like the cold, this creates an unbalance. I've used a lot of the techniques you've outlined here and they do work. I feel depression is part of the human condition, something we all face from time to time. Thank you for talking about it and doing such extensive work. Its nice to have a go to girl for this issue to share with others.

I've been in rehab for the past seven months. I was in a serious accident and sustained head trauma. At first I thought hmmm cognitive therapy, why do I need that? Its been a life saver. I tell my therapist all the time everyone should take this as a class in school as it teaches you so much about brain function and how to get the most from your own, how to best achieve what you want, cope, concentrate, relax and on and on. If everyone took cognitive therapy we'd all be healthier with better memories into our golden years. I had not thought about it in terms of a behavioral therapy, but I had the Ah Ha moment while reading this. Such powerful and positive stuff. Thank you so much for sharing, going to tweet google and like!

Wow, love the floor plans and the community, makes me wanna retire there now. I love history and the civil war is a fascinating time. The south is one of my favorite places. My uncle lived in Virginia when I was a kid, loved visiting. The people are so nice. Really retiring in the South and one like this, WOW its amazing. Great find thanks for sharing.

@Marisa The stuff came out in very good condition considering. The clothing smelt a little musty- so I washed it all - but it wasn't damaged. We had one piece of furniture collapse - it was a cheap unit that appeared to have got a bit damp and was at the bottom - that was the only complete fatality. The scooter needed to be serviced before it started (but we knew that would be the case) - cost about $300 from memory. The books were completely undamaged. We broke some glass on pictures that weren't wrapped properly.

We used a self-storage company as we knew that we may have to come back to get items in and out ( we came back once to retrieve dance gear), that's why we were able to remove part of the junk when we wanted to stage and sell our house. The unit was therefore basically a garage type arrangement. I think it would be better to use a professional storage company if you were in hotter climate because they would, presumably, offer an airconditioned facility - which should solve the potential issue.

Note you must not store any food, paint, solvents, liquids of any kinds. We tossed some garden tools because it was just too hard to clean them and we thought they would cause potential problems.

I know you live in a much warmer climate than I do though!
