Hi Evelyn, Kathleen, and Helen,

Love your conversations. Kathleen always tells the best stories, I always get a good laugh from them. I hope you never stop telling your tales of home in Pennsylvania.

Evelyn, I remember having some of the home remedies too. I use to have terrible ear aches when I was a kid. My dad would blow smoke in my ear. I remember screaming and crying for all I was worth.Don't remember if it helped or not, but I do remember crying a lot.

Hello everyone, my brother sent me several really good videos today and here are the last three he sent. The first two are about how happy a soldier's dog was to see him come home and the third one shocked me. I never knew there was a fourth verse to the "Star Spangled Banner" until I watched this Marine sing it. As they say, we never get too old to learn. I hope everyone enjoys these three videos. I am also posting them in one of Peter's threads HERE.

Hi Myrna,

I just looked up photos of Conshohocken (Fayette street) and found this recent news photo series, photo 15 is excellent, you can see for several blocks to the horizon and one of the beautiful churches. Then in the last photo 22 you can see the mosaic crosswalks, those were just done on the main corners every few blocks, a few years ago, it's a really nice town, but busy! 8,000 residents swells to 15,000 during workdays when people commute in, and probably a lot more for festivals and stuff:

You know Amanda, when we see living conditions like these people have to endure should make all of us more thankful for what we have. These are nothing more than hovels these people are living in and until this gentleman came up with an affordable solution, for the most part they lived in the dark almost 24/7.

Hi Helen, Evelyn and all

This video you shared Helen looked very intriguing and I hope that it works for these people for a long time - imagine being in the dark all day on a beautiful sunny day outside, because we all like sunlight coming into our homes which perks us up and also kills off bugs etc that like to lurk in the dark corners. UGH!

I had to do a search for the serene because I did not know what it was or heard of this word and found it was like a bleach / chlorine they put into the water, I guess so it does not go cloudy and loose the effectiveness of the light.

Hello there!

This a simple but amazing idea....

This could have applications even in the western world. Can you think of some?

Amanda, I almost missed this post. This was my first time hearing this gentleman sing and yes he does have a wonderful voice.

As you probably know, I don't have a pet right now but I've always had dogs and cats ever since I can remember. My last dog was a little red dachshund who had to be put to sleep because she had cancer. We had her about 14 years. When the kids were growing up we had a cat named Baby who lived until she was about 17 years old. She was the best cat. She loved to sleep in our bedroom on top of the chest of drawers and so I kept a folded towel there for her to sleep on.

I love animals and may eventually get another one but right now that is not in my plans. I don't want the responsibility especially when I travel back to Tennessee. They're like a child and have to be taken care of like one. I know they're good company and as I said, I may eventually get another one.

Hi Evelyn,

I had heard this man sing in another forum last year (I think) and I enjoyed hearing him sing the 2nd verse again, he has a wonderful voice.

The doggie meeting his master was just precious, she could hardly contain herself and didn't know where to put herself for the best closeup contact to him..

At night when our 3 come in and they sleep on the bed with me, I have them all crowd up to me as close as they can for several minutes until they settle into their places to go to sleep. Roxie (my girl) hardly lets me get into bed before she is all over me.. and Leo is like a huge lump of rock and will not move, he weighs over a hundred pounds and dead weight when he gets on the bed beside me. It is even more crowded and funny when James is home! LOL
