Today's Question:
If you could learn any old-timey jobs or crafts, which ones would you like to learn? I probably would have wound up being a seamstress, I'd been born in the 1800s or before. Lots of women in my family did that. I hate sewing by hand, but am really good at it. Must be in the DNA. lol If I could choose something I'd like to be a baker. I can see it now. Wearing a long skirt, my hair up like they used to do, flour on my face. Surrounded by cakes and bread. Where do I sign?

Here are some links with lists of old jobs you can scan for ideas:

If you were a cat, what would you ask?
If I were our cat, I would ask, "Why don't you feed me more? Why don't you feed me what I like?"
Our cat is almost as picky of an eater as me (almost!). If she really loves or can't stand her food for the day she WILL let you know, constantly. If she likes it, she wants more. If she doesn't, she'll meow at you all day!
