Want to change something about yourself? If you want to change, what's holding you back?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 8h

What is metathesiophobia? It's a fear of change. Evidently, a lot of people fear change--they want everything to stay the same as they are used to, and since time and people began, it just doesn't work that way. People grow,...

The Oh so nostalgic Drive-In-Movie years.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 28 May

Remember going to the drive-in movie back in the day? I remember Dad taking my sister and I in our station wagon. He would flatten the back seats, pile in a lot of blankets and pillows, popcorn, drinks, whatever...oh,and...

Facebook Meta helper is extremely irritating!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 28 May

I just hate it. If you use the search bar for anything at all, it pops up and wants to ''help'' you. Excuse me, I have been on facebook for years and years now. I was looking for a group to help someone with something, and all...

Totally backwards, but I'll take it!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 26 May

As some of you know, sleep is elusive over here at my house due to my son's illness. Some days it's just snatches of an hour here and maybe an hour there...and we drag around, so, so tired out. Evidently, Mother Nature, or...

Massive monsoon-like rain and horrible wind

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 24 May

They said we could have heavy rain and up to 75+MPH winds. They were not lying! It got super dark, black clouds, and it let loose and poured harder than I've seen it rain in a long, long time. Roads under water. Of course we...

My son's car was vandalized.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 24 May

For a short time, he hasn't been driving it until earlier this week, due to his health issues. He has been in it and gone to pick up his local meds, etc. yesterday. It was fine then. He was here with me today, and later we went to...

A very frustrating afternoon.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 21 May

I kept telling myself, smile, you can get this fixed. Have you ever tried to get an internet service/cable company to fix one of their OWN mistakes? I have my internet service for my home through Mediacom. That and one other are...

The near death of the pay telephone.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 18 May

The neighbor came over. He needed to make a call to get his son to take him to his cell provider, because his phone decided to die, I believe from what he said, of old age. He wanted his son to help him pick out the best phone for...

Do you remember people staging ''sit-ins?''

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 17 May

I had sort of forgotten them. I was a fairly young girl when that became popular back in the hippie era. But today...I witnessed one. Here I was at the pharmacy again, this time by some miracle, our local CVS had one of my son's...

If you own a car, don't get ripped off on this simple repair!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 12 May

Recently, one of my neighbors (who is not the smartest cookie, but..) had a headlight out. She asked me where to go to get it replaced, and I told her to go to O'Reilly's or to Auto Zone--buy the bulb, and they install it for...

A free place to live for a year in Michigan? Don't sign up for it just yet...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 11 May

I heard this on the news earlier, then I stumbled on the article. It was discovered that a 34 year old woman had been living in a rooftop grocery store sign (YES, you read that right--she lived in the sign!) for a year. Some...

A rare severe geomagnetic storm watch for parts of the US, the next two nights.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 10 May

This is a very rare thing. I have been lucky to have been able to see the Northern Lights many times, but I do know it is rare to see them in some areas of the country. Tonight and tomorrow night may be your night! Look it up!!...

Really bad night, but the day is promising!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 9 May

The last two nights, my son has been up and down the entire night. I go to sleep, he goes to sleep, and then...he's up. He putters around, tries to be quiet, but I am a light sleeper, and it wakes me up. So then, I'm up, too. Over...

Is it wrong that I want to go somewhere??

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 5 May

Don't get me wrong here...I am no gadabout. I like to be home. I love my children, but for a long time now, it's so hard to get away for a break. I get to see my oldest daughter as she is not far away at all, so I can take my son....

We have lost our hearts. This does not make me proud at all.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 29 Apr

Today was very different. I lost a very, very special old friend. We go back more years than I can say. It put me in a mode of sadness all day, I didn't get much accomplished. I was too busy remembering old times, things said and...

Do you listen to your body? Do you ever get down to just basics? What keeps you going?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 29 Apr

This is often hard for me to do. We all have our duties, responsibilities, and obligations. It's just part of life. Whether we are single or have a partner in life, children or no children, jobs, homes to care for, elderly or...

Have you ever been influenced by a mylotter?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 26 Apr

I realized I get ideas for things here, as well as the interactions from good people. I get ideas about foods, and things to do, share memories, enjoy the stories. Today, a post from Lenore Plassman @sallypup reminded me I...

Do you eat too fast? Eat and run? Bolt your food down?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 26 Apr

I thought about this several times lately. For years, I know I ate my meals way, way too quickly. I was in a terrible hurry all the time, I guess. Chasing kids, working, cooking, keeping house--the same things many of us do....

When you need a break, what do you do?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 22 Apr

Sorry, this is longer than I intended it to be! Normally, I would say to someone asking me that, well, just take a break then! Sadly, it doesn't always work that way, does it? I am a 'never give up' type of person. When I have...

Bad storms all around me now.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (30186) 18 Apr

We have a lot of wicked storms in my area. They were just heavy thunderstorms, but now some tornadoes have developed as well. I always worry...they can, and have, often caused so much damage and destruction and yes, lives. I do...
