Gary Marsh @garymarsh6 (23404) • United Kingdom 24 Jul 20

I Had Work Done in My Downstairs Bathroom

Belle Starr (Iz) @BelleStarr (61101) • United States 24 Jul 20

I had a faucet in my downstairs bathroom that had the cold water broken for years. It was just one of those things that you ignore because it is going to mean other repairs. My husband also broke the pedestal on our old sink years...

Have you ever had a grasshopper pie?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41747) • United States 24 Jul 20

No insects were harmed in the production of this dessert. There's probably a legit pie with this name, but I just made it up (name and pie), so this will be my version of a grasshopper pie. I made a crust from pecan flour...

Delicious Gelato For Lunch

snowy @snowy22315 (182175) • United States 25 Jul 20

Thefe is an Italian place near the library where I was using the internet. I always wanted to try their gelato. It was delicious, but had a bit too much sugar in it in my opinion. Do you like gelato?
