Sleep, what's that?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162873) • United States 21h

I am behind today on online stuff, or missing in action. I talk to my daughter on the phone on Tuesday nights, and stay up late. Then I just stay up later afterwards. That makes 5 a.m. seem too early. I stayed in bed for a...

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

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122123) • 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...

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.

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 (122123) • 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...
