Gonna Be a Countdown: It Isn’t Gonna Be That Way

Four Walls @FourWalls (68888) • United States 11 Nov 23

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow veterans. Thank you for your service. Salute! I’m moving on from two days in Biloxi, but not before giving you another song with “gonna” in the title. Here’s today’s song. [b]It Isn’t Gonna Be...

Shortie I can't say I have heard of this one but I have heard of Steve Forbert, the name rings a bell for sure! It seems like a lovely song though and one I will be checking out :)

I admit I am very poor at drinking water everyday.

snowy @snowy22315 (181946) • United States 14 Aug 23

I am going to have a large glass for supper, but other than that, I haven't had any. My water jug is half filed from yesterday, and maybe I will have a few sips tonight...but I just can't get with the program in terms of water...

Shortie I am awful at drinking enough water every day. I keep saying I am going to get myself a 2-litre bottle that I can fill with water and slowly drink through the day to ensure I get my daily intake of water, but I have as of yet need to purchase that. I will...

Our neighbor's house was on fire but only 3 people helped

lady Di @lady1993 (27224) • Philippines 4 Jul 23

I wish I was joking but unfortunately it's true. I just heard it from my mom. There was a fire that burned down a small house a couple of blocks from us, it was midnight I think that's why we did not notice the commotion. There...

Shortie Oh my, that is awful! It's such a shame that only three people came to help them but I can understand why some may not have done. Looking at it from the perspective of someone who was watching a house burn, I would imagine fear would kick in as well. I am so...

Do You Wear Watches?

Loretta @noni1959 (10104) • United States 10 Aug 23

Do you wear a watch? Not a fitbit or Apple, but a regular watch to tell time? With cell phones so handy and the date and time on the main screen so we don't forget, not many wear them anymore. I was given a brand-new watch in...

Shortie I can not remember the last time I wore an actual watch. I always have my mobile phone with me when I head out and I use that for the time so never really needed to wear a watch since if I am honest.

3 weeks until ...

Dominique @dodo19 (47336) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 10 Aug 23

It's 3 weeks until my kids go back to school. Hard to believe that it's slowly creeping up on us. My kids will be starting grades 6, 5, and 3. It's also hard to believe that this is my eldest's last year of elementary school...

Shortie My kids have already been on summer break now for just over 3 weeks and they have just over 3 weeks left. I worked it out and it turns out that they have just one day shy of 7 weeks off which is a long time. I feel myself that the summer break should be...

Is Paddington Bear well-known in your country?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341743) • Rockingham, Australia 17 May 23

I’ve never known much about the fictional character, Paddington Bear, and I’m not sure what others know of him. It seems he is dearly loved in Britain. In 1994, a stuffed Paddington Bear was the first item to be passed through...

Shortie Paddington bear is very much popular here in the UK. I always remember him from my childhood and it was just last year he did a little skit with the Queen for her Platinum Jubilee, that was a lot of fun to watch and really showed that the Queen had a fun side...

Shortie The weather was so nice the last few days for us and all of a sudden we had fog last night, it turned colder and windier and not it's not as warm as it was, really does make me wonder what happens to the weather. Did you end up having the barbeque? I haven't...

Do you ever email yourself?

The Horse @TheHorse (220068) • Walnut Creek, California 2 May 23

I just sent myself two emails. One logged the hours I worked at my friend's Day Care this morning. The other reminded me to call a friend who called me today while I was at Guitar Center. I also email myself reminders like "Get...

Shortie I have emailed myself so many times. Usually, I find it easier if I have to take a photo of something to send it to my email and then save it to my computer from my email rather than messing about with a USB drive instead. I have even gone as far as to email...

Children At Risk.

Kandase @Kandae11 (55131) 3 May 23

Would you consider home schooling your child? I am sure many parents are seriously thinking of going that route. Imagine sending your child to school and he or she ends up in a body bag. We might feel safe where we are but these...

Shortie School shootings are not as common where I live in the UK but we do have to worry about things such as knife crime that obviously can be worrying. I often see school shootings in say the US and hear about children being caught up and killed in it and it does...

Stay hydrated

Pitstop @pitstop (14044) • Australia 27 Apr 23

There are plenty of kids playing in the playground - they play basketball, tennis, football or just run around. The younger ones are playing imaginary games. And all this makes them thirsty, eh?! The stand on the perimeter is...

Shortie Staying hydrated really is very important. I have been looking into getting a huge 2.2-litre bottle of water so that I can have it with me and drink it through the day to hit my daily intake.

New month, new countdown! Here we go into February with 28 days of television theme music. Some of these were hits, and some were just on the TV shows. But all are great in my books! Let’s get started. [b]The Addams Family -...

Shortie I honestly did not know that Lisa Loring had passed away, so sad to hear that. I wonder why it wasn't mentioned on the news like other deaths usually are, seems a little strange. I live in the UK and I can't say I saw it on the news or if it was, it was...

How can anyone stand by and watch this happen to another human being???

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38563) 27 Jan 23

Forgive me. I realize this is more than violent and controversial. I am talking about the man, Tyre Nichols, 29 years old...a father, a son, a real person. He died after lying in a hospital in ICU in Memphis, TN, after being...

Shortie I cant bring myself to watch the video as I can only imagine how upsetting it must be to see it. It's awful that anyone is allowed to be treated like this and the consequences not be barely anything compared to what some people would get.
