A magpie saves a life

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357867) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jul

Another feel-good Western Australian story involves a lady from Esperance where we once lived. Sandie Gillard has been caring for wildlife for over 70 years but in a freak accident in 2020, she fell from a two-storey balcony,...

How many people do you know that can keep quiet?

Amber @AmbiePam (100298) • United States 5 Jul

There are people who have to know everything. If there is a secret, they feel the need to know it. Sometimes they try to disguise it with concern, when all they really are is nosy. Would it kill them to be unaware of just one...

BarBaraPrz I have a friend who constantly tells me about other people she knows, I don't really know other than she's mentioned them before, and she prefaces her comment with, "This is just between you and me." Yeah, ok, and all the other people you've told... I often...

We’re travelling and I haven’t had internet for a few days. We’ll probably be away another two days so I won’t be posting much. But I thought I’d share another funny sign with us. We didn’t plan our stops but just thought we’d...

Trump is now threatening to deport Elmo

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123532) • United States 1 Jul

This is beyond parody at this point. With all that is going on in the world Trump is obsessed with this fight with Elon Musk. Musk has repeatedly tweeted his criticism of this big budget bill which Trump has taken personally....

My principessa is back to normal! (Claire the cat)

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123532) • United States 26 Jun

Claire was spayed on Tuesday and had to stay at the clinic overnight. I called as soon as I could to check on her and was told she was "resting comfortably". I didn't necessarily trust that but hoped it was true. She was beyond...

BarBaraPrz "Resting comfortably" or "heavily sedated"? Glad she's back to her usual self. Keyhole surgery is less invasive and easier to recover from. yeah, I know... shouldn't end a sentence with a dangling participle but I'm feeling reckless

Rain (Mylot Exclusive #1948)

Greg @xander6464 (45294) • Wapello, Iowa 26 Jun

If I were given to massive understatement, I'd say that this is a rainy evening, Radio Rangers. A more accurate descriptor would include the words torrential, buckets, flooding, cats, and dogs. Some people call this kind of rain...

While we’ve been travelling, we visited a car museum in York. That’s York in Western Australia, not the one in England. In the photo is a Ford Model T Torpedo Runabout. This was found in a very run-down condition in outback...

BarBaraPrz I think there's a remake of "Alfie" the movie but don't know if it has this song in it. I think I liked the Michael Caine version... yes, I probably did: there's a certain appeal to bad boys and Michael was dishy back then.
