Most Productive Day!

Four Walls @FourWalls (71540) • United States 9h

That’s a sunset from a trip to the Smokies a few years ago. The sun has set on this week, and yesterday was a most productive one. In an earlier discussion I mentioned waiting for Social Security to call me back. They did, and...

Marie Coyle You were productive and busy! I washed my car about a week ago. Halfway home, it sleeted again and I got behind a salt truck. Ugh. Monday it might hit 50 degrees here so I will try to get it washed again then. I try not to let the salt stay on the car too...

Whiskey clearly hates me

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121442) • United States 16h

He was here last night for the zillionth time. It is fine. I'm not a dog person but he is very easy to watch and he and my orange tabby cat Charlie are BFF. They've been buddies since he was a puppy. His owner took this picture...

To keep or to throw?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346648) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Feb

I’ve been helping my sister-in-law empty out her junk room and, in the photo, you can see a corkscrew which she doesn’t want. It’s made of iron and fits very nicely in the hand. It would make quite a handy weapon if you were...

My new breakfast sensation!

The Horse @TheHorse (223389) • Walnut Creek, California 20h

I tend to have an egg for breakfast, sunny side up. Sometimes I have bacon or ham on the side. I bought some eggs recently (now up from $6/dozen to $9/dozen here) and decided to "invent" a new dish. All I do is drop a couple of...

Marie Coyle I haven't been too inventive lately in the kitchen. I did make some homemade chicken noodle soup today. I've never put peas in it, I usually just use carrots, celery, and onion. For some reason, my son asked me to put in a few green peas, so I did. He ate it,...

Do you drink plant based milk?

snowy @snowy22315 (185437) • United States 22h

I have liked the ones I have tried, but unless you get one that is very creamy, they are not good to use in coffee as they just don't have the fat content Also, I don't like them in certain things because they alter the taste a...

Marie Coyle I am not a milk drinker and haven't been for years now. I used to enjoy the very occasional glass of it, but for some reason, now I do not want it anymore. I drink my coffee black, and I don't eat cold cereal. I do cook some with milk, of course. My son enjoys...

Good Results

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (51496) • United States 21 Feb

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted sooner. My sister doesn’t have a blood clot. We were greatly relieved. They in all honesty don’t know for sure what’s wrong with her leg, but they will treat the symptoms. She was given some meds....

Marie Coyle I am glad to hear there is no clot. Hopefully, they will find the problem so it can be treated very soon. I love the picture of you and your sister, very nice.

Have you encountered this scam?

The Horse @TheHorse (223389) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Feb

Marie Coyle The one spam text I was getting for several weeks was one demanding I pay my outstanding toll fees, a bogus text from a made up site. Funny...I haven't gone through a toll in a long time, and when I did the last few times, I wasn't driving, I was a passenger....

I should open an urgent care clinic

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42481) • United States 17h

I tell you what, bud, I could operate one better than the one in our town. We were so excited last year to get an urgent/quick care in the closest town, ten miles from us. But whoever owns it has no clue how to run it. A while...

Marie Coyle We have an endless number of Urgent Care places. The one closes to my house is only a mile away, but unfortunately, this winter it is always swamped. They are open every day but Sunday for the most part, usually until 8PM.

Are You Pro Peeps or Anti Peeps?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (22) • United States 15h

Peeps are marshmallow abominations . . . err, I mean candies that were invented in 1953 in Pennsylvania. You wanna know what they're made of? Sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, food dyes and salt. They used to only come out at Easter...

Marie Coyle Many, many candies are going to be drastically changed or eliminated. Skittles, M&M's, etc...if they have yellow #5 or some other toxic ingredients, they are on Kennedy's chopping block. Should have happened a long time ago.

Pope Francis is in critical condition with pneumonia and asthmatic issues

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121442) • United States 15h

It was reported several days ago that he was in the hospital but now the Vatican is officially using the words "critical condition" and saying that he is worse today than he was yesterday. They included in the statement that he is...

Marie Coyle I saw the news clip earlier on this, plus it was online. I do have to give this Pope a lot of credit for being much more active and realistic about key subjects, and he has a wonderful heart. Often they put people in a recliner when they have a lot of...

I´m watching again some serials.

marguicha @marguicha (225020) • Chile 20 Feb

It is wonderful to watch again some serials, specially those that are set in other moments and have beautiful dresses and wonderful palaces. Now I´m looking at Downton Abbey again. And although in some moments I go fast forward,...

I Got Them. I Got Them

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (111842) • Marion, Ohio 21 Feb

Aren't they adorable. I think they are. There is 5 barred rocks and 5 columbian rocks. That should add some color when they grow up too. The heat bulb is red so that's why the picture looks reddish. I kept checking them at first...

Marie Coyle Premature births can be so scary. I am glad that so far, the tiny one is doing well. I know it's a long walk to get them where they need to be in weight and progress. Prayers said for the tiny one, and for the family as well.

Dead Beetle in Strawberry

lilacskies @lilacskies (4768) • United States 20 Feb

Marie Coyle It shouldn't matter how much it all costs. It truly is the though that counts, at least it does here. Is your mother in fairly good health? Could you give her a present of time, like maybe a day in the city, an overnight ''girls' trip'' somewhere you would...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (111842) • Marion, Ohio 20 Feb
