Spices

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 19 Jan 21

A Bag of Rice and a Can of Soup

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 27 Feb 19

Most of us fall on hard times at least occasionally. I know I have. Times when I had to decide between paying the water bill or having something to eat, and payday being a week away. Of course, the choice wasn't that hard. Food...

How many of you saw the movie 'The Bird Box' on Netflix? I saw it, and I actually liked it. Spoiler alert!! It was about a woman who was pregnant while some sort of entities ran wild amongst the Earth. These entities would make...

I know I have been on here before ranting about Walmart (How I am not their employee and I refuse to do self check out blah blah blah) and the way they do things. This time though, its not a rant. Yesterday I downloaded the...

Just When We Thought It Was Safe...

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 13 Dec 18

NO, not to go back in the water, to go OUTSIDE! I have always considered this a fairly safe neighborhood. That is, until tonight. Let me back up to around two o'clock this afternoon. My hubby and I were out on the front porch,...

Can A Himalayan Salt Lamp Raise Your Blood Pressure?

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 13 Dec 18

I can remember my first grade teacher, and many others saying "There's no such thing as a stupid question." Well, I have to disagree with that statement. There are plenty of them, and one of them is the title of this discussion....

You Needed Me

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 7 Dec 18

Do you remember that song by Anne Murray about a hundred years ago when I was a kid? I used to sing to it every time it came on the radio. I would even sing it when it wasn't on the radio. Probably drove my parents nuts, but they...

Thinking About Eating Out?

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 6 Dec 18

Yeah, I was too, until....I was carried back in my mind to my nursing clinical days. On this particular day, I was assigned to go to the Wound Center and spend four hours looking at people's disgusting wounds. If you have a...

Coloring

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 3 Dec 18

I have just discovered coloring online. I think this is going to be my newest favorite time waster. It is like paint by number, without all the messy paints. This picture (If it loads) is my first coloring project. It probably...

Other Than Worms....

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 26 Nov 18

One of our MyLot friends wrote a discussion about a Christmas present he might like. A worm bed for fertilizer. It reminded me of that time when I tried to make a worm bed. I ended up killing all of the worms. I...

Happy Halloween

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 22 Nov 18

Yes, that's what I have been fighting the urge to say all day. I don't know why. I guess this year is just flying by too quickly for me. The kids didn't want to participate in the Halloween festivities this year, so it kind of...

The Song of Saturn

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 21 Nov 18

Is there noise in the universe besides the buzz that comes from the Earth? Surely there must be. We can't possibly be the only planet that emits noise. There's so much in nature that makes noise. WE make noise I know, but I mean...

Making Chicken Salad

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 20 Nov 18

As it turns out, I am working Thanksgiving day. One of the girls decided we should all bring a dish and have a meal together. Nobody wanted turkey, because they would go later to a family member's house and have that. I was glad,...

Regrets

Cynthia Owens @cindiowens (5120) • North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 14 Nov 18

Jon, 93, said that his only real regret in life, is that he had never been in love. Not REAL love. He had three wives, and was married to none of them more than a few years, so he said that pretty much proved his point. He never...
