This is just an idle thought, show your students your first and second efforts with your chair. They need to see that some projects don't always turn out 100% the first time. It's okay to make mistakes and there is always room for improvement. Hopefully, they won't get discouraged with their project.

Hi Teresa, welcome to the forum. I did live in Spartanburg until last July when we moved to Abbeville.

Happy New Year!!

Congratulations, dear lady! I knew it would happen.

Congratulations!! Having just moved myself and still unpacking boxes I might add, I don't envy the task you face. Good luck with the move and do enjoy your new home.

Has anyone else received a one year in notice? I checked to see what it meant and the answer is I joined October 9, last year. Sorry folks, I joined October 9, 2006.

After 50 years in my old house, DH and I bought a new to us house. We started moving last week and I'm still looking for items that I know I packed. If hubby packed any boxes, I don't have a clue where to locate them or what he put in them. It may take me to Christmas to find everything. We downsized and are in the process of remodeling a couple of the rooms. One bedroom will become the new bath and the old bath (which isn't much bigger than a postage stamp) will be a laundry room. Our biggest challenge has been to locate a general contractor. The first one we contacted is keeping us dangling and delaying answering our questions. The second one is due to come to the house next week to give us an estimate.

I got my second Shingrix last week and am waiting on the Moderna booster. I'm considering the Whooping cough shot as well.

Happy Birthday Muriel.

Hello! Welcome to the family.

Welcome back Muriel! I was just thinking of you the other day and wondering how you were getting on. You have been missed around here. So glad your family is doing well.

My workshop is a storage building from Lowe's. It's shaped like a barn and it's pack to the rafters.

Talk about thinking outside of the box! My new washer started making a funny sound during the spin cycle. When I had DH listen to it, we decided it was possibly loose change that had gotten around the center piece of the washer. When he shone a light, sure enough, we could see silver and copper. He tried grinding a pair of needle nose plies down to fit in the space but that didn't work. He ended up using a pair of my bent end tweezers (looks like an L) and a small hand saw from my stash of tools. He was able to remove 27 cents. Bet he remembers to empty his pockets from now on.

I found a Canterbury House for sale on Facebook that is unopened, the plastic wrapper is still intact and the box looks to be in great condition. If anyone is interested, pm me and I'll send you the particulars.

Glad you're safe and made it back.

She did know she was loved. Every time I went out to the deck, she would jump up on the railing and butt heads with me. She even let me rub her tummy.

Happy Anniversary.

I miss my little cat. She had a habit of sleeping on the roof of hubby's work shop. We think a hawk took her.

We felt it too. We were drinking our coffee and each thought the other was bouncing the foot to shake the floor. The house bounced a bit and the pictures rattled but everything is fine.

We call in our orders, hubs picks it up and we dine at home. We've been doing this since before Thanksgiving and we're both doing fine.

My DH bought me a face shield. It came from Northern Hydraulics and is a welder's face shield, nice and heavy but it allows for cooling air to flow. I'm covered from my forehead to past my chin, almost to my chest. I have COPD and breathing through a mask is about the same as having a head cold and breathing through my mouth. I can enter the grocery store or Walmart and not be told I have to leave. I've worn it to the doctor's office and the hospital to get blood work done without any problems either.
