I'm still gonna wait and see with the mattress topper. I wanna see how well it holds up over time but so far so good.

Just thinking about what I need to buy for around the house as Spring nears.

If you follow the "spring cleaning" trend that a lot of people do, then I suppose cleaning supplies.

Though I don’t understand why people only clean their house once a year

well, it's not so much cleaning it just once a year. it's more about cleaning it REALLY GOOD...from top to bottom; more than just vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms. when i do it, i take down curtains/drapes, i take the couch cushions off and clean under them (as well as cleaning the cushions, themselves, really good), i move furniture, i take down pictures and wipe down walls, etc.

Nah.

But like the pool, that always requires stuff. And I'd like to get new tires on the mower.

I hate stinkbugs. I don't know why but they are everywhere here around spring and summer. They always find a way to get in the house and it drives me insane. We had two or three warmer days and these things are already popping up.

Do most people still use chamber pots, or is that relic of the past?

Come in here and read comments from those of you over the pond....it's small differences that really add up to make the UK and the US very different

I'm hoping that as we move towards March we get an entire calendar year here without snow. Fairly certain the last time we had snow in Tolkien's town was the first week of February 2019. Absolutely nothing since.

Speaking of snow (and thus Winter), how come kids are taught in a school that Spring is the first season of the year? It isn’t, Winter is.

From January 1 (first day of the year) until March 19, 2020, we have Winter, then Spring, Summer, Autumn/Fall, finally Winter again on December 21, 2020.

And yes I know the Winter we are currently in started on December 21, 2019 HOWEVER that doesn’t change the fact that Winter bookends the year, starting and ending it. This also means Winter occurs twice a year.

And yes, I realize this is only applied to the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere has a different seasonal schedule.

Why is there a paper I've not signed for the apartment. I hope I get it soon, can't stand being in transitional housing. I need my own place and stuff.

I saw a commercial on TV for Duracell that asked "extra life or extra power" then said their new battery does both. My question is, how in the hells does a battery provide extra power in a device?

He told me to take my birth year, add my favorite year (between birth year and present), add the number of years since my favorite year and then add my age and he would try and guess my number. He got it right. I was impressed.
