What is your favorite Easter candy?

snowy @snowy22315 (187044) • United States 13h

I don't tend to care much about Easter candy, but that being said, I do have two favorites..Reese's Peanut Butter eggs for one, and also black jellybeans. I haven't had black jellybeans for a while, but I do enjoy them. As for...

Juliaacv I like the peanut butter eggs too, but I never buy any as I am the only one that likes them. Our favorite candy, all of us, my hubs and son and mine, was Robin Eggs. They are a candy coated malted milk egg. They are yummy. Every year they have been harder and...

Juliaacv That must be very frightening, but you have a really good plan to stay safe. I hope that you are well now, and that your home is standing solidly.

Didn't get to go to the Title Bureau and bank because my husband's 2nd cousin overslept. We're going today; but it will have to wait until I have my phone meeting with Social Security. I should be able to get a few extra dollars...

Juliaacv I hope that you will wait until the frost is out of the ground before having the gravel put down. Yesterday I had a bagel for lunch and beef stew for supper.

Great Progress Today

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113859) • Marion, Ohio 2 Apr

I got the cabinet into place and cleaned good. It has been in the spare room for a couple of years now. Then I started moving food into it from the kitchen shelves. I then cleaned those shelves good. I now have most of that...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (42272) 2 Apr

Long and loud, it’s been going off for maybe 4 minutes now. It looks like it’s going to get kind of bad. Hopefully, I can keep you posted!! Take care if you are in the path of this big mess!!!

Could you eat these?

Amber @AmbiePam (96770) • 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...

Juliaacv No, I would not give that a try. I have had to boost my blood levels many many times over the years and have had to eat and drink things that were awful tasting, now if I do not like it, I do not eat it, and look for a supplement from another place.

So what to do with the porno tapes?

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......

Juliaacv Oh well, just shows that he was human too. I remember when I was a kid stumbling across a book called the Joys of Sex in my parent's bedroom closet, and all that I was snooping for was my Christmas presents. What a disappointment.

Juliaacv You have alot to do today. I know that much of it is stressful, but I truly hope that you can relax just a bit while you get your hair cut. I always soak up all of the relaxation I can take while getting my hair cut.

Kareng @kareng (71515) • United States 1 Apr

Juliaacv That does sound like ikky weather. We are under a weather warning here also. This one is for heavy rainfall and we are on the cusp of the line that is expecting freezing rain. That begins in the morning tomorrow I believe. Seems we are both in ikky weather...

See Sunshine

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113859) • Marion, Ohio 1 Apr

It's pretty but I know it's very cool outside. It was only 33 F when I got up. That is close to zero C. It's supposed to warm up some this afternoon. If it does I will do some things outside again. If not I will stay inside....

Juliaacv It was sunny and cool here today too. Hopefully tomorrow will be an improvement, although we are under a heavy rainfall advisory, and on the cusp of a freezing rain advisory, so we have to keep our eye on the skies.

I wish I was still blissfully ignorant

snowy @snowy22315 (187044) • 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,...

Juliaacv I am sorry that you lost such an old friend from your childhood. Remember him happily, and realize that he most likely passed away peacefully, you have no reason to believe otherwise.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349710) • Rockingham, Australia 31 Mar

Juliaacv We had a grey and overcast day today here. The sun should be out in the morning, that will be nice to see. We had breaded chicken breasts with melted cheese on them and a bit of marinara sauce, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349710) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Mar

Amber @AmbiePam (96770) • United States 31 Mar
