Off to get a new phone?

The Horse @TheHorse (233287) • Walnut Creek, California 21h

Do they still make land line phones? Mine has finally died. I may visit Target today in search of a new "old school" phone with an answering machine. I hope you are having a glorious Sunday. I am now calling all of those who...

Anna Yes, landline phones are still available here, you have to plug them into your Internet router. We have one with an answering machine.

Meet the Blue-Footed Booby

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (92228) • Daytona Beach, Florida 18h

I have written about these birds many times because whenever I do an article about birds, these appear mostly in tropical places. Among them my favorite is the blue-footed booby; I just love those little blue webbed feet. They...

Anna Their feet look as someone took the time to paint them, so cute!

Out with the old, in with the second-hand

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368130) • Rockingham, Australia 16h

About a month ago, I posted a photo of a jigsaw I was attempting. However, I gave up on it. There was too much dark and a piece could go in multiple places quite easily which made it even more difficult. So it went back in its box...

It was a Hot One Today

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 16h

Around lunchtime today, I was sitting on the couch watching a replay of the NHL hockey game between the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, who played last night in south Florida. I didn’t get home from St.Augustine...

A Lot Done

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (127067) • Marion, Ohio 16h

I had a busy day. But it was a good one. First I did most of the organizing in the spare bedroom. It is looking a lot better. I still have a little bit more to do. I will get that finished tomorrow maybe. It depends how cold that...

Anna Poor Sh ithead cat, I did not know he was not well, I hope he will be fine soon. Poor Jill, I am sure she is grateful that you cleaned her.

Be happy.

Judy Story @jstory07 (147066) • Roseburg, Oregon 11h

There are ways that you can be happy all of the time. Go for a walk every day. The walk is good for every part of your body. A walk is refreshing and just makes you feel fresh all over. Smile at other people when you walk by...

Anna People here have the habit to say good day to those they meet during their walk. I think it's nice. Advanced New Year wishes to you.

Well, Chinese It Would Seem

Jim Bauer @porwest (111771) • United States 14h

It's Sunday. I don't feel like cooking. To hell with it. We'll have Chinese delivered. Hey, it's always good, and tomorrow I will just have to dive into the stock market to find a way to pay for it as I always do. Boy, the guy...

Anna Did you get your food? In the beginning of our travels to the US I had a hard time with the spelling, US spelling is different from British spelling, I always got the letter Z wrong.

Tipping Is Getting Out Of Hand

Loretta @noni1959 (11749) • United States 10h

I may have written about this before, but I honestly don’t remember, so I apologize if this sounds redundant. This came up again today, when my son and I went into the city and stopped for late take-out to eat back at home. We...

Anna The "service" is charged on restaurant bill here in Italy, we can leave a tip but it's not mandatory. I always do, particularly if I enjoyed the food and the service. We tip the postman once a year for Christmas.

Amber @AmbiePam (108871) • United States 23h

While I was in California, I noticed they did something they didn’t do when I lived there as a child. Now, I knew they did it, but I hadn’t seen it. It was at fast food places where the trash was. One can was for trash, and one...

Blah Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (127067) • Marion, Ohio 28 Dec

It is a dreary day here. We might have high winds and rain. But it should get to 60. That part is nice. And it gives me a chance to give Jill doberman a shower. She needs it. I will also work in the spare bedroom some more...

Anna I am glad because we arrived to "resurrect" a computer today. I was right, it was the power supply, but my husband did not want to listen. I ordered one, replaced and it works now!

Trapped by my kitty

snowy @snowy22315 (200636) • United States 28 Dec

Thankfully, he has moved to the arm of the chair now, but I think only those that have a kitty know the honor of being chosen by a kitty as their soft place to sit. I had to keep postponing tasks earlier..as I was appointed by...

The Results of My Ugly Christmas Sweater

Amber @AmbiePam (108871) • United States 28 Dec

So, weeks ago (so why would you remember) I talked about this long sleeved “ugly” Christmas shirt I got free. At first glance, I thought, this isn’t ugly, it’s borderline cute. But then I REALLY took a look, and it is indeed...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368130) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Dec

Aruba is Calling

Amber @AmbiePam (108871) • United States 28 Dec

Have you ever heard about something in your region you were clueless about?

snowy @snowy22315 (200636) • United States 27 Dec
