Will today be a pool day?

The Horse @TheHorse (236033) • Walnut Creek, California 23h

I just checked. It's supposed to hit 78 F or so today, under mostly sunny skies. I teach from 10 AM until 1 PM. That means I'll be free as things are still warming up. What are you up to on this sunny and temperate Saturday?

Anna I stayed at home all the day, it was sunny but not warm and my husband did not feel well enough to go out. I baked a cake.

Another Hibernation Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (131871) • Marion, Ohio 28 Mar

It should be a little warmer today than yesterday but still an inside day. I should get the rest of the kitchen counters organized. It is sunny at least again. That helps keep a good mood going. Nothing exciting here as you...

Anna We stayed at home only because my husband was not in the mood to go out. It was sunny during the mid hours of the day and not too cold. Oh well, I always find something to do.

He got the flu!

Toni @toniganzon (75623) • Philippines 28 Mar

Lucky enough to escape the flu but not Craig. My poor son needs his rest. He had fever when he woke up this morning. And he did take a rest most of the day but he still tried to work a bit. His aunt told him not to work at all...

Anna I am so sorry to hear that Craig got the flu. Better that he takes a resting day, it's the best when you are sick.

Good morning 3/28

snowy @snowy22315 (205241) • United States 28 Mar

Chilly this AM and windy, but with bright sunshine. It should be a decent day for the No Kings March. Thank God it's not hot. I hate trying to do things in the heat, and we get plenty of that here along with humidity. What is...

Do you get enough in your Paypal to pay bills?

snowy @snowy22315 (205241) • United States 28 Mar

I just paid my phone bill with PayPal. I will probably pay my internet with it as well. It really comes in handy as a secondary money source. What about you do you have enough in pp to actually use it it for bills or do you just...

3/27/26 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (217625) • United States 28 Mar

Apparently 3 tornadoes did touch down in Central Ohio on the night that cold front came through. I hope no one was injured. It's going to be cold again today (3/28 - at or below freezing); and then it will start warming up...

Anna I hope that no one has been injured by the tornadoes. We had smoked turkey breast sandwiches for lunch, with lettuce and a yogurt. I made an Indian curry for dinner with basmati rice and tiramisu for dessert.

Are you there yet?

Toni @toniganzon (75623) • Philippines 28 Mar

I wonder who these ladies are

Judy Evans @JudyEv (375771) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Mar

I’ve been going through some old photos and came across this one. It’s obviously very old and has seen better days. There is nothing on the back and nothing to indicate who these ladies might have been. There is also no-one old...

I got my balcony garden started yesterday!

The Horse @TheHorse (236033) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Mar

A few days ago, I cycled out to a place on the bike path where I hear preschool kids stopping for a break with their teachers. I planted some corn, green beans and sun flowers near the fence, where they will get good morning...

There can be a big difference with some of the prices on these booking sites

snowy @snowy22315 (205241) • United States 27 Mar

I was booking a motel along the way for our trip to Pennsylvania, and there was like a 30 dollar difference between the price on the booking sites. However, one thing I noticed that that particular motel did not include wifi..so...

Getting some Vitamin D

G @freelancermariagrace (29278) • Philippines 27 Mar

I’m currently at my usual cafe hangout spot, working online or just relaxing and enjoying some quiet time. I’ll be working in a bit and also taking advantage of the Vitamin D. Without Vitamin D, bones can become brittle, and I’ve...

I Hibernated

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (131871) • Marion, Ohio 27 Mar

At least mostly. It wasn't bad inside. But the wind is chilly outside. At least it's not gusting gale force now. It was good for my kitchen. I got some counter space cleared off and mopped part of the floor. Of course it now has...

Winter Is Back

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (131871) • Marion, Ohio 27 Mar
