Hot. Heat. Hot.

rakski @rakski (135630) • Philippines 23h

It's currently 97°F (36C) but feels like 107 (42). I am sure it is hotter in some provinces here where the land is flat and full of fields. The air is so hot and dry. And it is just April. We still have May. I hope the rest of the...

MARILYN Today is sunny with temperatures hitting around 80F. Feels more like summer than spring but the weekend should lower the temperatures somewhat. Hope your plants survive the heat and 97F is quite hot (yuck)

Lights are Flickering...

DE @DaddyEvil (146278) • United States 24 Apr

It has been raining off and on all day but started storming about half an hour ago, then the lights started flickering. We're on the same circuit as the hospital at this house so I hope we don't lose power. We've lost power...

MARILYN Hope that storm doesn't get bad enough for you to lose power. Nope, I don't have a generator if our power goes out.

MARILYN That's such a beautiful picture of you and your mom. I remember those days of getting perms too. Some old pictures I like of myself but others not so much. I rarely have pictures taken of me now

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49382) • St. Catharines, Ontario 15h

I cut the grass, then added a couple more boards to two of the raised beds, then lugged buckets and buckets of dirt to them. My neighbor offered me the use of her wheelbarrow but I found it easier to just do it one bucket at a...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351324) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

I Keep Checking to Make Sure Hubby is Alive

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (33) • United States 24 Apr

Is that weird? Yes of course it is. But I'll bet some of you have done it too. Hubby hasn't been feeling well. Nothing serious that we know of but it just keeps lingering. He's a pretty routine-oriented guy, up at the same...

Be careful how you eat and swallow a PSA

snowy @snowy22315 (188192) • United States 24 Apr

I sometimes get stories from Quora sent to me in my email. I saw one last night of someone who swallowed a pea, which went down the wrong way and lodged in her lung. Her lungs got infected, and she had to go to the hospital....

MARILYN I love peas and never thought about one going down the wrong way. I feel bad for that poor lady but do appreciate the PSA so next time I eat peas or popcorn I'll be extra careful.
