Good Results

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (51489) • 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....

The Horse @TheHorse (223362) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Feb

In recent days, I have gotten several emails telling me that I have been charged several hundred dollars for my purchase of crypto currency via my PayPal account. If I call this number I can challenge the charges, and not have to...

vanny @vandana7 (101270) • India 22h

So you want to bring down the payroll...good...very good... But laying off? What does it do? 1. Stops the education of children of the people, making the Americans less educated than those coming in. No prizes for guessing who...

Belle Starr (Iz) Our government in the US is massively bloated and under productive. This will trim some of the fat and maybe encourage those left to actually do their jobs in a timely manner. The government is very inefficient.

To keep or to throw?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 17h

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...

Belle Starr (Iz) That's a tough one, I love old things so I hate to throw things like that away. I guess it depends how much time you want to invest in it. Maybe a friend could use it?

Do you drink plant based milk?

snowy @snowy22315 (185430) • United States 14h

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...

No Water

Amber @AmbiePam (96086) • United States 21 Feb

Last night around 5pm our water was turned off. Of course, I tried to reach someone about when it would be turned back on as this was unexpected. At about 8pm we got a text from the complex telling us the water would be turned off...

Belle Starr (Iz) That is a real pain. I don't have water in my bathroom sink because it was leaking in our basement. But it is very minor and we will get it fixed eventually. I have had no electricity for 5 days and for me that means no water since we have a well. Its a drag...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (75156) • Daytona Beach, Florida 21 Feb

Well today appears to be the coldest day, but our heater is now whisper quiet ever since it was repaired. So, when we closed the bedroom door last night, we didn't hear it running. But, sure enough it has been and I'm okay with...

Belle Starr (Iz) We are in the dead of winter here, yesterday morning at 9 am it was 15 degrees. But I prefer that to the heat of summer so I just wear extra clothes. I have been gone a long time, what happened with George?

Snappy Attitude

lilacskies @lilacskies (4654) • United States 21 Feb

I rarely call my boss first, but I called him today to inquire about any freelancing opportunities this weekend. He had a snappy attitude the moment he answered the phone. He asked me in a sharp tone, "May I help you?" We've known...

Belle Starr (Iz) Hopefully he is just having a bad day and it isn't about you but his situation. I hope it works out well for you and you get work this weekend. My writing opportunities have been very slow as well since the new year.

Winter and Gloves

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (52332) • Canada 19 Feb

Old-fashioned perambulators

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb

Belle Starr (Iz) Yes they should either have age limits or term limits, seriously one member was in a nursing home with dementia and still in Congress, that doesn't even make sense.
