For the record, I live in a fairly quiet bedroom community, not far from the main city. Like most such smaller cities and towns, ours has the good areas, and a few not so good areas. It's been fairly quiet for some time now, until...

much2say @MarieCoyle It IS terrifying. Even the fact that schools are having these drills in case of a shooter is terrifying. To think there is/was talk of arming our teachers with guns - so hard to believe anyone thinks that is a solution that makes sense...

I got some good deals at the thrift shop, but what is really surprising, or maybe not, is the number of school employees/teachers who were also there. I think we thrift for two reasons: 1. Our pay check needs to stretch. 2. We...

Heather Echola @MarieCoyle The lids say they can be used in the microwave, but they do not do well in my experience. I like to use glass or ceramic to reheat in. I take the lids off my pyrex and put a paper towel, or coffee filter, or microwave dome over it to reheat.

One of the surgeries my son had from the wreck was to get his arm repaired. His shoulder and arm that were against the driver's door when the semi truck hit him, had to have several surgeries to repair.. It won't ever be as strong...

To be exact, 419 cookies. And son in law is making one more batch of something his Dad likes tomorrow, then the baking is done. They do this every year, and sent them to both sides of their family. It's a big project every...

I realized today that they actually do remind me, or bring back memories of what I fixed for loved ones and friends, because I knew that's what they liked. One of my grandfathers absolutely loved chicken and dumplings. It was...

I did post in the night when my door camera went off, and there was an older man on my porch. It was nearly 3AM, and no, I didn't open the door. I didn't recognize him...but I did call the police, as the man did not seem quite...

Eva James @MarieCoyle I seen a fb meme mentioning that healthcare CEOs are afraid to go to work now. Then it asked about how kids feel going to school. The CEO makes a lot of money so is paid more attention to.

When I saw this last night at the gas station, I immediately thought, "this had to be a Walmart shopper!" Too funny, right? Seriously though, who pumps gas by putting the nozzle in a funnel to go into your gas tank? What is...

I really wanted fried chicken while the wife is out of town on a gambling trip with her cousin. But at the same time, I'm like, I have all this food in the house. Why spend the money? I chopped up some onion and sliced up some...

Jim Bauer @MarieCoyle To me that's the biggest consideration. The cost. It 4x's and 5x's the cost to make coffee. I always make a full pot and drink it to the last drop, even if it means finishing the pot the next day. I don't waste coffee any more than I waste food or...

And no, it wasn't Santa Claus. It was a HUGE box, and weighs more than I do. It was so heavy a guy brought it to the door out of his truck with a rolling cart. Then two guys carried it in to the hallway, and left. Addressed to me,...

I always thought it was so nice, carolers going around in little groups and singing a song or two of Christmas, often ending with ''Silent Night'' although not always. In some smaller towns, it seemed the carolers often...

I was able to pick up a dozen eggs at Ruler Foods on Saturday for $1.89 a dozen, which is not good, but it's been "about normal" lately. Since there were some items Ruler was either wrongly priced on or out of, I decided to stop...

Kayla Tsukino @MarieCoyle Before the stroke he had no interest in eating yogert. Now he asks for it almost daily and fairly recently, too. He used to like ground beaf a lot. He asked me to buy some but hasn't really asked for it. We used to eat those t.v. dinners from like...

Kayla Tsukino @MarieCoyle I know he does, too. Sadly, I think he might need further testing to ensure the stroke didn't damage something we can't see. He needs to see the doctor on the second and we're getting blood work before that. Sometimes asks for pickles but's been...

Kayla Tsukino @MarieCoyle Yeah. I know. I also know he's no spring chicken. He's 64. He's staying positive. I have to give him credit for that. And, he's very self-aware of what's going on around him. Wintertime has been hard on him in general, but today was fairly decent.
