You're right, print and digital books have their own strengths (like, no need to re-charge the paperback). I love the built-in night light of a Kindle. I used to have an awkward little lamp to attach to

Funny, just today at a dog group, someone else recommended diatomaceous earth for giardia in dogs (drinking from mud puddles and creeks is one source for that bacteria), and said it worked for his dogs,

That's diligence, test-germinating seeds before planting. My native prairie plants self-seed. Luck of the draw. I have a $20 bag of diatomaceous earth that I was supposed to sprinkle on the dogs' food

You are my soul mate, omg, I love you!!! Just EVERYTHING here... you actually clicked the link and played that song, and you like it... and people get mad at you, and you challenge their beliefs, and you

I'm also smitten with the idea of time travel - even wrote some short stories about a German soldier, WWII era, who comes up with a time machine and goes back to save people without violating the grandparent

To "read" artwork - that's a whole 'nother language. I'm not fluent in that one. Not even close. I can barely grasp poetry! So many ideas, insights, and truths sail right over my head, but I

Thank you, and what is this gorgeous image--a photo of your own? #LOVE it! Purple Haze - you've heard this one, I'm sure: "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" - often misheard (a mondegreen) as

What a beautiful post! The lavender haze of (wisteria?), the beach, the brown saints, the purple of surrender - Easter, The Passion, Holy Week, all is purple. The vestments, the altar linens. Purple was

Love the quotes from Rilke and Eliot, and love the way you review books. Your writing is smooth and natural, easy to read, easy to comprehend, yet bursting with insight and erudition. Not an easy

Of all the impressive things in this post, you got me with this: Moby Dick (required reading in grade school) - in grade school? What kind of school did you attend, college for kids? That one was over

You ran out of candy after an hour... did you turn off the porch light and escape being "tricked" (property damage, toilet paper in trees, eggs on cars, and in days of yore, outhouse tipping)?

I have the Steemit passwords, and somewhere in the safe, a printout of the Hive passwords.... Wouldn't you think I could find that one piece of paper in the safe....? God forbid i should have to type out

You are wise indeed, O @owasco!

Time Traveler. While I find it scientifically impossible to believe, the mystic in me says BRING IT ON! I hope you find an alternate or parallel universe where you and your family and loved ones get along

You - suicide attempts, ingested enough drugs to kill 3 men, a medical mystery - and head hitting concrete - thank God (the Universe, whatever The Powers That Be) that you are still here! You're very kind.

Intriguing - I kept getting errors from improperly inputting keys and .... figured out a way to generate all of the possible key combinations and compile them with an algorithm ... and it wasn't long before

LOL - my first thought on reading this was "@owasco hast got to see this!" - and of course she saw it before I did. These "smart" phones are the biggest invasions of our privacy, and

Thank you @futuremind! 10,000 religions, and a resounding YES: Don't get me wrong... I see nothing wrong with a little faith, but we still must remain grounded in reality and be able to recognize contradictive

Lipstick and strategically located socks for boobs: for a fifth grader! That's... child abuse! My mom had this huge cardboard box, attached some sticks and leaves to it, and declared it a tree. I was weeping,

Oooh, I remember that sock story, and that killer ending - the source of the yarn - this really is a brilliant little gem of a story! #Love it! Hating Halloween - my inner German pragmatist can see why
