Have You Ever Had Shingles?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 7 Feb

Amber's post about COVID testing made me think of shingles for some reason. I had a friend in his 40's who got shingles from being over-stressed and malnourished while going through a divorce. They were very painful. I took...

Good Evening 2/7/2026

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (321929) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 7 Feb

I know I've been absent for the past week. I've been busy. I've been editing and revising Wilderness Challenge, the first in a four-part series. With AIs help, I figured out how to make a clean break between Wilderness Challenge...

Weaponised incompetence - ever heard of it?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (371091) • Rockingham, Australia 13h

The photo has nothing to do with the post. I read a very interesting article the other day on ‘weaponised incompetence’. This is when one person avoids or refuses to do a task by saying they’re not good at it. They use their...

40 days until spring. At around 2 am this morning it was 3 below zero F (minus 19.4 Celsius). It's going to be 43 on Thursday and then in the 20s after that. I'm hoping that we might be turning the corner on these brutal...

Not quite a dream - but still uncanny

Fleur @Fleura (33822) • United Kingdom 7 Feb

This morning I woke up from a sort of dream; basically all it was, was a vision of a digital clock with green numbers against a black background, showing the time of 7:52. I woke up, thought ‘that was a bit odd’, looked at the...

Haven’t mentioned something rather important

DianneN @DianneN (248373) • United States 10h

Our younger son got engaged last year as a sign of his commitment to his girlfriend. On their first date he told her that he had no interest in ever marrying again or having children. She agreed. She wanted an oval shaped...

This is not the day for a migraine.

Amber @AmbiePam (112231) • United States 10h

I have already dealt with the fun side effects of the migraine this morning, and I am on my second migraine pill. They don’t want you to take much more than that because of rebound headaches, but I find they linger any way you...

Easter Candy is Already out in the Stores

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 10h

There's a whole aisle full of Valentine's Day candy at Walgreens, but at the end of the shelf they're already starting to put out Easter Candy. So far it's just jellybeans, Peeps, and Cadbury eggs, but it's pretty...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (167608) • United States 7 Feb

There are a lot of times I mean to but I do not get around to it. I did do so to my last post though. I got to put a picture up from Kindergarten Glow Day that the teacher has shared online. Actually there were a lot of pictures...

Did You Know This...?

celticeagle @celticeagle (185120) • Boise, Idaho 7 Feb

Black History Month Music: Stoney Edwards

Four Walls @FourWalls (82735) • United States 10h

Only in one of my crazy countdowns can you go from a pioneer in “hard bop,” “west coast” jazz to authentic country music. Poor Linda thought she was safe this month, celebrating Black History Month, without country music. Oh no....
