Good cool and grey afternoon.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (75289) • Daytona Beach, Florida 20 Feb

It's cool outside without a beam of sun in sight. Today's only supposed to reach 61, but I don't think it'll make it that high. It's already 57. We'll see how things go. I have the laundry started and opened another box of stuff...

Jo Ann I am in Florida also. It is cold and dismal in my neck of the woods. I came here to escape cold, icy wind, and other winter horrible but here I am in the middle of it.

What's for breakfast on this sunny and cool Thursday morning?

The Horse @TheHorse (223503) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Feb

I am cooking up an egg for breakfast. Sunny side up. Do they call it that where you live? I will have a bit of ham and a Christmas cookie on the side. And coffee, of course. How is your day shaping up? I only have five or six...

Jo Ann My son likes eggs sunny side up so I think the term is universal in the US at least. Enjoy your breakfast and have a good day.

Thursday Talks.

April @thislittlepennyearns (63584) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 20 Feb

I was going to try to be here earlier but after school drop off we went and ate breakfast at Wendy's. Say what you want about fast food, but Wendy's is far superior. Especially their breakfasts. If you haven't had it, you should...

Jo Ann I like the Wendy's near my son's house. It is a shame that they will be closing their doors. I think all of the Wendy's are going out of business. I had never heard of Natalia Grace. While I know there are insane stories out there, I think I already have...

Would you classify salt as culinary essential or overused additive?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3656) • India 20 Feb

Salt has been part of our cuisines for centuries by enhancing flavours and preserving food. Many cooks still consider it as essential seasoning as it brings natural taste to ingredients and balances flavours. In most dishes,...

Jo Ann Salt or sodium seems to be essential to life. I think we use way too much and it leads to illnesses.

Remember This Movie?

celticeagle @celticeagle (171630) • Boise, Idaho 19 Feb

Remember the 1973 movie "Soylent Green"?. It had Edward G. Robinson and Charlton Heston in it. It was about a futuristic densely populated New York City whose residents are starving. Also about a mystery about a murder and looking...

Jo Ann They were trying to get people to buy this on Swagbucks. Can you believe that? I would not touch it if I were starving. Soylent is people. I read the book but did not see the movie.

I might have just killed a lizard

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (6646) • Calcutta, India 18 Feb

I am petrified of lizards. I have a phobia of lizards-maybe that's a better way of saying it. So I was closing the windows this evening and unbeknownst to me, a lizard got caught in the hinges with its head pointing towards me....

Jo Ann I once ran over a raccoon. I had no choice; there was oncoming traffic on the other side and a dropoff on mine. That was bad enough, but the trip home was worse. Another raccoon was standing over it, swaying back and forth. I cry every time I think about it....

Do certain colors make you look sick?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41120) 15 Feb

Some colors just do not look good on certain people, do they? I am one of those people. I am very fair complected, and a natural redhead. At this point, I am down to just a few reddish streaks here and there in my hair, but as I...

Jo Ann I love salami. I would make a salami sandwich with any veggies that are available at the moment. I like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Also mushrooms, pickles, radishes, or whatever is handy to put on a sandwich.

Jo Ann I don't subscribe to any periodicals. I don't have time to read them and they would pile up and be a fire hazard or I would need to haul them to the recycle bin too often. I used to subscribe to Writer's Digest. When I was done with those, I put them on the...

I am off to buy some eggs. How did you start today?

The Horse @TheHorse (223503) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Feb

I haven't bought eggs in awhile. I switched over to bagels and lox, or slices of ham, recently. I wonder how much Trump has lowered the price of eggs. I had literally been paying $6.00/dozen for eggs. I am not a Trump supporter,...

What essential need can you buy with your $20?

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (84242) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 13 Feb

This amount in PH peso is equivalent to 1,200. This amount could buy essential things at home. Ten years ago, $20 could buy one sack of white rice ( 56 kilos) and then after six years, $20 could buy only 30 kilos of white rice....

We Need to Flood Google About the Mistake

celticeagle @celticeagle (171630) • Boise, Idaho 13 Feb

It seems that Google had turned into Trumpsters. They have changed the area on Google Maps to read 'Gulf Of America' instead of what it should be 'Gulf of Mexico'. We need to flood the site with emails bringing attention to their...
