Music Obituaries: February 2026

Four Walls @FourWalls (84090) • United States 16 Mar

Here’s hoping nothing happens worse in the rest of 2026. Every month we lose a number of people in all walks of life. As a music lover, I always highlight the people from the world of music who passed away in the previous month....

Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126704) • United States 17 Mar

I think it is a bigger deal in the US than in Ireland much like Cinco de Mayo is rather than that small area in Mexico. Here it is basically an excuse to wear green, drink lots of beer, and eat corned beef and cabbage. When I was...

BarBaraPrz Well, if I'm going to the Centre on St Pat's day, I'd wear green, but the Centre is closed this week for March Break, so my light minty green robe will have to do.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (374771) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Mar

I’ve never taken melatonin products but about a month ago the Australian Border Force confiscated 150,000 units of melatonin. These imported products were unregistered and had come into the country legally but, after testing,...

Which pain is worse?

Amber @AmbiePam (115348) • United States 17 Mar

I asked someone once which would you rather deal with, assuming you had to. Emotional pain or physical pain. I said I would rather have physical pain. They said that surprised them because of all the physical pain I’ve been...

BarBaraPrz I'm not sure... I have a high tolerance for pain, either sort. I just tend to ignore it.

Daily Message

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 36 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 48. Meh. I woke up just after 3:30am. That seems to be the trend these days. I've been taking...

Being Typecast

Amber @AmbiePam (115348) • United States 15 Mar

I was listening to a sportscaster last week, and he was making a comparison about an athlete and actors being typecast. He named “Ross” from Friends (David Shwimmer) as an example of someone who was so good and so well known for...

Underappreciated fruit

Fleur @Fleura (34356) • United Kingdom 13 Mar

Sometimes it seems that ‘we’, in this country, are turning away from our local produce and going for more exotic things. For example in the supermarket you can buy bananas, papayas, pineapples, mangoes, kiwis, even dragonfruit,...

Improvement in my platelet count

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126704) • United States 12 Mar

A normal count is between 150-400. It was bouncing around between 34--51. Last Tuesday when I was having the endoscopy they were 32. (below 30 can be lethal) So I received a platelet transfusion before the procedure. The next day...

Why the Wearing of the Green on St. Patrick's Day?

celticeagle @celticeagle (186842) • Boise, Idaho 11 Mar

The tradition has to do with old folklore. It says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns who likes to pinch anyone they can see. What does the green have to do with it? I just don't know.
