Can you be too grateful?

Fleur @Fleura (30330) • United Kingdom 13h

This is a rhetorical question really because yes, In my opinion I think you can. As I’ve mentioned before I sometimes drive people to medical appointments and the like, for the Volunteer Driver Service. Of course it’s nice when...

BarBaraPrz You were probably the only 'real' person she talked to other than the driver service co-ordinator.

Music Obituaries: October 2024

Four Walls @FourWalls (67681) • United States 13 Nov

Every month I look back at the people from the world of music who left us in the previous month. I do that because music is my primary interest, and because 99% of these people didn’t get the “headline news” coverage that someone...

Did you get paid by MyLot today?

The Horse @TheHorse (218450) • Walnut Creek, California 23h

I had forgotten that MyLot payout would be soon. For some reason, I had a good month in October. I made my "T and A" goal, and almost made my "Totally Ridiculous Over The Top Goal." I attribute it all to my Rice Chex, which...

BarBaraPrz Nope, didn't get paid (gain) and didn't see no stinkin' dollar signs, neither. Next month for sure, just in time for Christmas.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339355) • Rockingham, Australia 19h

We sometimes catch part of a TV show while we are waiting for one we always watch. It is Long Lost Family. Some of these stories are very harrowing. One we caught was about KT Tunstall who has quite a distinguished musical...

BarBaraPrz I know KT Tunstall. I particularly like her hit "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" but I do believe she's Scottish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQmDUEv939A&list=RDPQmDUEv939A I also like "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda"...

celticeagle @celticeagle (166638) • Boise, Idaho 13 Nov

Judy Story @jstory07 (139467) • Roseburg, Oregon 13 Nov

We were called at 4AM this morning my nephew is gone. There will be a service on Saturday. My sister in law said everyone is blaming his wife. You can not stop anyone from doing bad habits if they do not want to stop. Why...

BarBaraPrz What is wrong with people, indeed. If they don't care that a fellon ran for high office, why wouldn't they blame the wife of a dead man for his death. The world is going crazy. In small towns, people bring food to the home of the deceased.

BarBaraPrz It's sunny here too but only 7°C/45°F at 12:39, so I think I'll just stay in the house. I did manage to water the houseplants, but don't know what else I'll do.
