We are in recovery mode here now.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (49603) 15h

I haven't made a post in several days. Son had surgery, and it was a bit rough to say the least. I won't go much into the details right now...suffice it to say that we hope this helps his pain levels. I am just glad to have him...

The Final Plan

Amber @AmbiePam (104223) • United States 15h

You guys are probably so sick of hearing about my upcoming Disneyland trip. The final plan was decided upon, and we are driving. My sister called me the last day of her trip to Hawaii, told me about her flight’s 7 hour delay, and...

NJ Chicaa I cannot imagine making that drive. I can do 3 hours in a car max and then I start losing my mind.

Howdy from the other side of the river! I think I’m going to stay over here today and do some leaf-looking. We’re starting to get some color change…and wouldn’t you know it, they’re saying a cold front will come through this...

Turning a Country into a Tourist Toilet

kay lar @jaylar (2468) • Kingston, Jamaica 19h

Many years ago, Jamaica was a first class location, visited by only those of that class. Then the idea of turning it into a tourist toilet came up. Many fought against it but lost. Today, Jamaica is full of hotels which house...

NJ Chicaa My parents were there 20+ years ago for a destination wedding. They felt very unsafe even then. There were men on waverunners approaching them in the water trying to sell them pot. They said they would never go back.

If you get a Christmas card from me this year….

Amber @AmbiePam (104223) • United States 14 Oct

A few of you may remember last Christmas someone from the post office stole my Christmas cards (the post office admitted this when 3 months later they brought them to my front door all opened with just one envelope). Why? Well, if...

Songs to Dance To: Potential New Boyfriend

Four Walls @FourWalls (79410) • United States 14 Oct

Wow, this is weird…a song by a country music legend that I do not have to warn the people allergic to country music to avoid! It’s not a hoedown dance, it’s an indication of why they put her in the Rock and...

NJ Chicaa I sometimes keep the SmartOnes frozen meals in the freezer for emergency work lunches. They aren't bad but they are also very low calorie. They are fine for a quick lunch but they wouldn't do for dinner. . . at least for me. If I were you I'd meet with a...

Corn! How expensive is corn where you live? I love fresh corn!

The Horse @TheHorse (231397) • Walnut Creek, California 12 Oct

I understand that prices for beef and vegetables have gone way up in recent months. But one thing I can still get "for a song" is corn. I bought several ears of corn for 49 cents an ear at Safeway yesterday. Corn is grown in...

Four Walls @FourWalls (79410) • United States 12 Oct

Thanks for the good run this year, Cubs. Now on to the championship series, and I normally don’t root for the Brewers (disdain for Bud Selig, who used to own the Brewers, going back to his days as commissioner), but Bob Uecker...

snowy @snowy22315 (197439) • United States 12 Oct

October is loping right along. I don't like that though. I wish it could be October all year long. It is crazy we got our train trip rained out. So far this whole system has amounted to very little. It was worse a couple of weeks...

NJ Chicaa They shot what was described as a "pepper bullet" right at that pastor's head. Not pepper spray. Some other ICE a-hole shot a woman 5 times for no good reason and before he did that he yelled "come at me b!tch!" It is sick and disgusting. This isn't the...

Trump Tantrum

kay lar @jaylar (2468) • Kingston, Jamaica 10 Oct

He's tossed his toys out of the pram and crapped his diaper when he learned he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. Why he thinks he deserves it adds to his delusions. For some reason he thinks he is brilliant, respected, and...

When do you buy "generics"?

The Horse @TheHorse (231397) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Oct

I was just at the grocery store, staring at a bottle of Windex. The cost was something like $5.50. Kitty's sliding glass cat door is quite streaky. Then my @Porwest Trump University brain kicked in. To the right of the Windex was...

NJ Chicaa I often buy store brand food items like crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, club soda, butter, frozen vegetables, canned beans, pasta, etc. I tend to stick with brand names for personal care and cleaning products.

What do you think about the possibility of "President Vance"?

The Horse @TheHorse (231397) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Oct

We have seen what is happening in the US. National Guard troops are being sent into US cities that do not want or need them. The Epstein files will eventually be released. If the 25th Amendment is invoked, and J.D. Vance...

NJ Chicaa As much as I dislike Vance I think he would be much better than the current evil criminal we have as president.
