You Are More Likely to Get Eaten by a Shark Than Win the Lottery

celticeagle @celticeagle (168852) • Boise, Idaho 27 Dec

But, hey! someone has to win it--right? The Mega Million jackpot is now up to an estimated $1.15 billion. No winning ticket matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball on Tuesday. The chances of winning are 1 in about 303 million....

No wonder people don't send Christmas cards anymore

snowy @snowy22315 (182777) • United States 25 Oct

I was at the post office and bought one stamp a couple of days ago. I could hardly believe it..73 cents!! Now that is ridiculous! It would be one thing if we were getting good service, but mail delivery in this state is notably...

Chris I don't give out cards anymore due to costs. I used to look forward to receiving beautiful cards in the mail, but it is just too costly for most people these days.

Stacey @xstitcher (32813) • Petaluma, California 25 Oct

I went to get my mail, and it turned out to be one envelope from people wanting money. It went straight into the garbage. Now I am here typing this oh-so exciting post and thinking of going over to my other table and doing some...

Which Era would you live in ?

Francine @beenice2 (2967) • Sackville, New Brunswick 29 Oct 18

My question is which Era would you live in if you had the choice ? I might think about the '50's . But than I like some of the medieval clothing and renaissance too. But none of these Era was perfect too. Although, women...

I am craving for pancakes.

marguicha @marguicha (224032) • Chile 29 Oct 18

I woke up today craving for pancakes. In fact, I had thought about pancakes yesterday, but I was not so interested as to really get into action. I wanted the kind of pancakes that I eat in the US and I know how to make crepes. So...

Expiration Dates on Food

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 29 Oct 18

STOP! Don’t throw that food away. It might be safe to use, and that will save you money. According to USDA’s Economic Research Service, each American wastes more than 20 pounds of food every month. That’s about $115 billion worth...

Spent time painting today

Chris @Christianna (115) • Bedford, Texas 29 Oct 18

I spent time on my hobby today which is painting. I am still not very good at it and some would consider my painting a waste of time. But I still do it as I find it relaxing. I will never make any money from my so called artwork....

Lessons I learned from instructing a belly dance class

Faye @FayeHazel (40243) • United States 4 Aug 17

Back in 2010-2011 I taught a belly dance class - rather unwillingly. Why unwilling you ask? I had been in a troupe that failed -- and had found these belly dance classes, and met a fantastic bunch of women. However that...

suziecat7 @suziecat7 (3350) • Asheville, North Carolina 3 Aug 17

It's not like it's an earth-shattering decision. I only need to buy a new purse. I've been on Amazon a thousand times, shopped the local stores. I have a basic idea of what I want. I know what color. But dang, the choices are...
