Trump said that the word "groceries" is an old-fashioned term

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122146) • United States 2 Apr

What in the actual hell? I guess I shouldn't be shocked since the guy thinks you have to show ID to buy a loaf of bread at the grocery store. He is so out of touch with those MAGA cult members. The only vehicle...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122146) • United States 2 Apr

Could you eat these?

Amber @AmbiePam (96772) • United States 2 Apr

I had never had liver of any kind. I know our resident Travel Gal, Lou, had to eat it growing up for the iron content, but the one time I went to eat it, my mom stopped me saying she knew I wouldn’t like it. So, when I got an...

Heather Echola Nope, I would not try it. Unless maybe I was starving. Your mom was a wise woman to know you would not like it and choose not to force you.

Scar D. Cat @Scarred4Lyfe (710) 2 Apr

True story. Just found a couple of my deceased father's VHS tapes - in a closet - and no labels on them so I pop them in the player to see what they are - pornos. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but......

A belated birthday present from a student

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122146) • United States 1 Apr

This girl is always in here and is up in my grill. She pesters me when I’m on hall duty. I’ll tell her to sit down so she will stand. I’ll tell her to be quiet so she will sing. I’ve never given off some warm and cuddly vibe. So...

And the birthday card

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122146) • United States 1 Apr

Heather Echola I have seen this card quoted somewhere. Probably on some of the teacher sites that come up in my Facebook feed. Not appropriate, but somehow kids think it is cool. A much nicer note would be better.

I wish I was still blissfully ignorant

snowy @snowy22315 (187054) • United States 1 Apr

So, sis contacted me on Sunday and told me one of our former neighbors had died. Actually, he was a playmate. Although, we didn't see too much of him well hardly at all after the age of 12. He did teach me how to hit a baseball,...

Heather Echola Mostly I am bothered when stupid choices catch up to people, and sometimes the people who die are not the ones making the stupid choices but are the people who happen to cross their path.
