Now I Am Sure

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (107932) • Marion, Ohio 10h

That my phone is working. I got a couple of spam calls today. That let me make sure I had some of my ring tones set too. All is working good and I now have most of my apps transferred. I don't plan to do one of them until I get a...

Marie Coyle A new phone is nice, but setting it up is a pain. It was cold and gray here today, we stayed home.

Marie Coyle It's been a long, hard haul around here for a few weeks. Son fell twice, we've had to go the ER several times, they admitted him for several days and now he's here at home again. Seems a bit stronger and interested in talking to me, a few friends, and his one...

Hot Dr. Pepper

Amber @AmbiePam (93791) • United States 14h

I was watching the local morning news yesterday morning, and on the segment, “What Caught Our Eye”, one of the news anchors mentioned an online video she saw of a woman making Hot Dr. Pepper, a drink her family made every...

Marie Coyle My aunt that I mention so often (the one I was named after) introduced our family to hot Dr. Pepper when I was really young, like maybe 2nd grade? I remember my sister and I trying it, and absolutely loving it--probably part of our love of it was that the...

So, I do not have strep

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160909) • United States 17 Dec

I went to the walk in clinic this morning. My doctor does not work on Tuesday, so I saw a PA. I had a strep swab. I also had a swab for respiratory viruses. All negative. I have water behind my right ear drum. The PA I saw wants...

Have You Ever Seen This When Filling Up At Gas Station?

Kareng @kareng (61275) • United States 17 Dec

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...

Marie Coyle I don't replace my phone very often, my oldest son has me on his phone plan...he spoils me rotten and helps me set it all up. I can do it, I have before, but he thinks he is helping me, and of course he is...I hope your new phone works out well for you.

I Just Had Two Lunches

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (64) • United States 17 Dec

Hubby and I ate at our regular Tuesday place. I got the child's sirloin, 5 oz, as usual, with side order of bacon. It was really good. But after I ate it I was still hungry. So I ordered another one. So I had TWO lunches....

Marie Coyle I honestly don't know how you just eat basically meats. Don't get me wrong, I love steak, but I want my veggies, salads, and fruits...my hot oatmeal...I can't eat much processed meats, bacon has way too much sodium for me. I realize it's the diet you prefer...

Marie Coyle Weird, I made turkey tetrazzini for dinner last night--I made two, actually. One to eat and one for the freezer. We had that big turkey I baked and packaged up to use up in things, my son loves tettrazzini so the dinner was a win, for sure.

No Mopping Done

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (107932) • Marion, Ohio 16 Dec

Sometimes I Could Strangle My Sister

Jim Bauer @porwest (92463) • United States 16 Dec

Sometimes the nonchalance my sister and brother-in-law have about throwing food away just really gets under my skin. Not only is it ignorant, in my opinion of course, and I don't mean that in a mean way, to throw food away, it's a...

I scored big today. I got eggs for 2.14 and gas for 2.61

snowy @snowy22315 (182000) • United States 16 Dec

I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw eggs for 2.14 at Aldi. They were 4.47 at my favorite value grocery store, about the same as everywhere else. If I used eggs more I would have bought 2 dozens. The gas was the cheapest I...

100 Pounds Of Lettuce

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (50607) • United States 14 Dec

Marie Coyle Wow...100 pounds of lettuce is a lot! I love salads, but of course that's too much to save for salads as it would spoil. It's good that you were doing the pickling, and that you can enjoy it for days to come. And that's a ton of cauliflower, too. I know that...
