Finally Some Sun and Slightly Warmer Weather

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (22) • United States 11h

We were overcast and in the single digits to low teens the past two days. Right now it's sunny and 33F degrees, which is a welcome change. I still bundled up to go outside to lunch today. We went to our favorite Mexican...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Not up to much, I hope. I have an appointment with urgent care (isn't that an oxymoron?) tomorrow. Just can't get rid of this nausea. I would love to have some Easter candy. What's your fave? I love peeps best of all.

I'm back from the hospital. I had my blood work done and will get my results on Monday. I didn't get new antibiotics for my pleurisy. The new doctor told me to consult with my current doctor on Monday if the current antibiotics...

What Do Millionaires Really Look Like?

Jim Bauer @porwest (96285) • United States 13h

Many people have visions of millionaires that are of people living high off the hog, lavishly adorned with valuable things surrounding them. The reality for MOST millionaires is much different than that. Most millionaires do not...

Off to See the Grands!

Kareng @kareng (68255) • United States 12h

We are fixing to take off to see the grandkids today, or at least half of them. It is my oldest grandson's birthday celebration weekend. He turned 18 yesterday. That makes me feel a little bit old. Ha! He will be taken out...

My new breakfast sensation!

The Horse @TheHorse (223362) • Walnut Creek, California 12h

I tend to have an egg for breakfast, sunny side up. Sometimes I have bacon or ham on the side. I bought some eggs recently (now up from $6/dozen to $9/dozen here) and decided to "invent" a new dish. All I do is drop a couple of...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I like my egg cooked a little more done, so the cheese might be too done. Congrats!

Chayote Squash

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (51489) • United States 12h

Yesterday while I was in the produce section I saw these squash. I had never seen these before and was clueless as to what they were. They look like they have a mouth and this through me off a bit. My son loves to try...

A one-string 'banjo' of sorts

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Feb

I told @TheHorse I’d write about a rare, and probably unique, musical instrument that I saw in the Collie Museum. The main ‘body’ of this is a kerosene tin. These were very common in my parents’ day, and were often flattened out...

DB @dgobucks226 (36096) 21 Feb

Some of us have lived in only one state or country, the one where we grew up in raised by our parents. Others have lived in more than one place, or just like the Johnny Cash song, I've lived everywhere man. I have lived the...

Emergency surgery!

The Horse @TheHorse (223362) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Feb

What's for din? February 20th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (63529) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 20 Feb

I took out some hamburger meat to make chili tonight, but honestly, I just wasn’t feeling it. Then I found a pizza coupon and thought, why not? So I ordered from the gas station a couple of miles away. We got a cheese pizza with...

Chicken Pot Pie Might Become Chicken Pot Mush

Jim Bauer @porwest (96285) • United States 20 Feb

I have made chicken pot pies in the past and they have always been good. But this time, it seems the pie crusts did not fit the round dish I use for these. I mean, the mixture should be good, and the crusts should brown nicely,...

Old-fashioned perambulators

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb

When we were first married, just about everything we had was second-hand or hand-me-downs. Even my maternity dresses were given to me by a friend. I think I made myself maybe one or two new ones. We were given a cane pram like...

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3594) • India 20 Feb
