Fried Spam

By littergitter

Fried Spam on plate with breadWhen my husband and I were dating, he told his friends that I grew up in Plum Nelly; plum out of the country and nelly out of the world. Most of our food was grown on the farm, plus bass and crappie we caught while fishing in the pond and occasionally we even went frog gigging. Frog legs were a real treat.

DIY Long-Lasting Eyelash Lift - closeup of eyes after processRecently, my girlfriends and I were part of our dear friend's wedding. Everyone decided to get lash lifts and lash extensions. I was interested in a long-lasting lash lift so I wouldn't have to curl my lashes anymore, however, the $80 base price was appalling. I decided to get an at-home kit.

Yearling Bear Sightings

By Donna

Yearling Bear Sightings - young black bear in the grassThis is a time we see yearling cubs wandering around our property in northeastern Pennsylvania. Mama bears birth their cubs (usually two) and nurse them in their dens their first winter. After a year old (thus the "yearling" term) in the fall the mom encourages them to leave her and forge out on their own.

Seasonal Bird Bath DecorationI decorated a bird bath with small pumpkins, gourds, dried leaves, twigs, and a pot of winter flowers. Other holiday decor can be used. A festive ribbon and bow could be tied at the base of the birdbath to add more color.

Today's Questions
Can Movie Theater Speakers Loosen Light Bulbs?
I work in a movie theater and some lights go out due to the vibration of the speakers. The light bulbs are never out. I think its just the vibration of the speakers causing the bulbs to become loose. Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Or just a common problem in a movie theater?
Buying Smith Corona Replacement Parts
Where can I buy a print hammer for a Wordsmith 200 Smith Corona typewriter?
15th Birthday Ideas
So my 15th birthday is in a few weeks and I want to so something super fun, but I'm boring and not that creative. Any ideas that would be fun for a bunch of teenage girls? Preferably going out somewhere, not high price, but still fun?
