Trump's behavior yesterday at the pope's funeral was a disgrace

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122527) • United States 27 Apr

and an embarrassment to the United States. It was perfect symbolism for the MAGA cult though. They should be so proud! First of all he demanded to be seated in the front row after it was reported that he would be in...

Heather Echola I have had nothing that really impressed me lately. I guess I am stuck with my own cooking. This is our high expense time of the year, tagging the cars and paying half year property taxes.

The New Cook in the Family

celticeagle @celticeagle (173590) • Boise, Idaho 15h

I think that my grandson is becoming quite the cook. He has done a few things over the last few years. He helps his mom a lot in the kitchen. But, recently, he has taken on the role of cook, no longer helper. Right now we are...

A very useful jam tree

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351591) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

I took this photo on the side of the road on our recent short holiday. The globule that you can see has oozed from a jam tree (Acacia acuminata). It’s one of the wattle tree variety but I found on researching it that it is/was an...

They’ve got the big head honcho weatherman in the TV studio today, so that should have been a clue. Now the tornado sirens are going off. There is a lot of flooding too, but my town always floods during big storms. I’m not...
