Good Morning 1/18

snowy @snowy22315 (183693) • United States 18 Jan

Going up to see friend today, that is always quite the journey. So much traffic in the northern part of the state. I don't know how I ever lived there. I wouldn't do it again. I am hoping his neighbor will be able to finish...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Hope your trip was good. You'll probably get the weight back down. I had lost 20 pounds back when I had that eating issue and although I'm thankful to be able to eat again, I've gained 18 pounds back. Trying to slow it down, but everything tastes so good now,...

It must be true - it was in the newspaper.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13299) • Ireland 18 Jan

A discussion this afternoon about how reliable the press is brought to my mind a newspaper article I read a few years ago concerning a man I knew. He was in the papers because of some nefarious activity of which he was rightly...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Never have, never will. Years ago when my friend Winnie came from Scotland, my Grannie put she was here visiting. The editor of the very small local paper decided there was no chance someone from Scotland would actually be visiting a tiny town in NC, so the...

Today was forecast to be a gloomy, dreary and rainy day as the Polar Vortex starts making its way down into the Deep South, so I didn't really make any plans to do anything today. But I did wake up feeling energetic and motivated,...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (61) • United States 18 Jan

No, that's a trick title. Sort of. I LOVE and ADORE my husband. He's the best thing ever. But he has a cold and bad cough and now I have it too. I didn't have it when I left (and returned) for vacation but now being home two...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Be careful you don't get pneumonia. I had a bad cold two months ago which turned into bronchitis. I still have a cough that won't go away.

People who don't know how to spell your name or location

snowy @snowy22315 (183693) • United States 18 Jan

For those of you who don't know my first name is Karen.with a K. I seem to invariably run into people I need to give my name to that want to know if it is with a C or a K. In all my years of being a Karen, and knowing Karen's I...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I've never seen Karen spelled with a C. People always ask me if my name is y or ie at the end and I tell them it's just I. My maiden name was Dutch/German so I always just spelled it.

How long did it take to get your passport?

Amber @AmbiePam (95155) • United States 15 Jan

My last passport was misplaced when my mom had the beginnings of dementia, and she got ahold of some of my things and misplaced them. I did not plan on going out of the country again since I was always so stinking sick. Fast...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl It didn't take very long to get our passports a few years ago. I sure hope yours will arrive in plenty of time before your vacation.

It Happened One Day

Jim Bauer @porwest (94604) • United States 17 Jan

It was during the holidays, and I was probably around 11 years old or so. At the time we lived in Illinois and we were visiting with my grandparents and extended family in Milwaukee, WI. When we stayed there, my dad would park his...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl That was such a horrible experience. I'm glad your dad survived. My father had just started working at a paper mill and was killed in what was called a freak accident when I was 18. He and a coworker died when a huge paper roll fell on them.

What would you change about where you live?

Amber @AmbiePam (95155) • United States 17 Jan

I’d like to have brand new flooring in my bedroom and living room. Preferably not carpet, but since I’m on the top floor, they are always going to choose flooring that causes the least amount of noise. So carpet it will be. So...

Shopping Mall Shock

Kareng @kareng (64586) • United States 12 Jan

I mentioned earlier that we went to our local shopping mall the other day. This was my first visit there in over a year. We have had several major stores leave the mall, one being Sears not long after we moved to...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl One of the main malls (60 miles from us) should have already closed. The only stores still open are Penny's, Belks, Ross, and two or three shoe shops. I couldn't believe it when we went there recently. It was actually kind of scary. No open stores, no one...

Jim Bauer @porwest (94604) • United States 12 Jan

Well, just when you weren't expecting curveballs, here comes a curveball. But isn't that the whole purpose of a curveball? To offer an element of surprise that throws you off your game? There is a silver lining, of course. When...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (39736) 12 Jan

Angie @andriaperry (117575) • Anniston, Alabama 12 Jan

The past 4 years had its ups and downs, unfortunately. However if I hadn't went through all of it I wouldn't be who I am now, I wouldn't have met all the people who I've had and have in my life. I made new friends and seen who was...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I'm really glad for you, Angie. I guess the worst parts of the last four years for me was getting breast cancer and losing Dale's sister and niece. The best parts were recovering from cancer and our granddaughter's wedding.

Anyone thinking Valentine’s Day yet?
