Marie Coyle @sallypup One very poor decision can destroy so many lives. Heartbreaking.

Marie Coyle @kaylachan A few years ago, a middle age fellow drove his car straight in to a local store. His brakes completely failed, according to investigators. A few people badly hurt but no deaths. And about twenty years ago, a man my Dad was good friends with had a...

Marie Coyle I have no idea. Hopefully the authorities will find out why he did it, and all such things needed for an investigation. What does it prove when people do these shootings? I know mental illness is a real thing.

I look around this house and realize that very little here was bought new. The chair I sit in and the bench and fake stove are new. All the fur kids are adopted. The light fixtures were owned by others first- the dining room's...

Marie Coyle @sallypup Oh, I recall the lathe inner walls, for sure. And the old coal furnace still in the basement, not used anymore, along with the room down there for coal.

My husband finally showed me his foot Monday after not realizing that he had a sore or a diabetic ulcer on the bottom of his foot. I was horrified to see that it was all infected Sunday. I got it all cleaned up for him and put...

Marie Coyle @Juliaacv You know, sometimes I think in today's world, raising children is different than it was when we were kids. And I know of many children (mostly grandchildren belonging to people I know) that are not being actually ''raised'' by a human or two. They...

Marie Coyle I have no idea. They have released absolutely no information yet on the driver, except to say he was unhurt. I suppose there is a CHANCE it could be an accident...but to me that seems unlikely.

Marie Coyle I heard about that on the news, just unbelievable that anyone is that cruel and heartless to do that on purpose. I'm sure sorry...it's hard to even think about.

Marie Coyle @sallypup Trying to restore a plaster wall is so, so messy and difficult. I'm all for drywall. After helping with remodeling more than one home, I don't appreciate plaster, either. It's authentic, pretty, and...hard to keep up with, unfortunately.

After 70s and 80s it feels cold at 51 and cloudy. It's very wet feeling outside. So I will be inside most of the day. But I do need to get my bulbs into dirt. Ghost cat wanted out this morning. I will check to see if she's ready...

Marie Coyle @wolfgirl569 Ours is very similar to yours. This year there were a lot of days that the nights were way, way down in temps and then the days would be nice. And it does seem like we've had more big winds than ever before.

Marie Coyle @moffittjc Never thought of that. I just know for someone who enjoys food as much as you do, it had to be very difficult to not be able to eat regularly.
