The Putz is Sure Whining

celticeagle @celticeagle (166761) • Boise, Idaho 29 May

Poor fellow. Trump is on his Social Media account going on about his constitutional rights being stripped from him. That the court is corrupt and the leftists hate America. My gosh! I know he must be afraid, very afraid, of what...

Author-Lissa I haven't seen any of his posts, because I'm not a member of the so called "Truth" Social, and I'm no longer on Twitter, but this doesn't surprise me in the least. What worries me is that his cult followers will stage another uprising and more people are...

Fast Food is Getting Ridiculous

Jim Bauer @porwest (90118) • United States 3 Jun

They were talking about fast food the other day on the news, saying it is now considered a luxury item due to the fast-rising costs of eating at fast food restaurants. And the prices certainly have risen dramatically recently. My...

Author-Lissa The high cost of fast food places is one reason I don't eat out as much. Where I live, a double cheeseburger used to be a $1.00, now they want almost $3 for one. Add to the fact that sometimes when I received my food, the sandwiches were always slapped...

Last night's dream(s). (3/6/2024)

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (28727) • Lichfield, England 3 Jun

I had a couple of dreams last night. In the first one I was going shopping. It was like a small corner shop, with only two isles. But it wasn't just a normal shopping trip. It was also a game. A bit like Supermarket Sweep - but...

Author-Lissa Dreams can be interesting sometimes, because I feel like the realistic ones sometimes mean something, as well as the really weird ones that make no sense. I love how you described your dream, because you gave a clear mental picture of what was going on. I'm no...

I feel refreshed now that my hair is washed. I also did George's second feed of the day. He's happy about that.I am always glad when I can get it done, too. I don't mind doing it, but I know how he feels about it. Chilly woke up,...

Author-Lissa I love it when I wash my hair, because it makes it feel soft and manageable. How is George doing these days? We haven't talked in forever. I remember your cat Chilly, how old is he now?

Going To Be A Slow Day

popciclecold @popciclecold (38637) • United States 22 Jan 23

I woke up this morning, with back pain, on the left side, and up to my neck. It is quite miserable. I rub down with tiger balm cream. Hope it soothes pretty soon. I'll go now and lay on my hotpad. I hate when a day starts like...

Author-Lissa I hate when pain interrupts your day. It's like you spend the night planning things you'd like to do the next day, but the next day your body's like, "haha, nope!" I hope you get some relieve. If it gets worse, please see a doctor if you haven't already,...

Do You Read Stories on Kindle Vella?

DW Davis @DWDavis (25805) • United States 6 Aug 22

About a year ago, Kindle started a new program for writers and readers called Kindle Vella. Have you tried it? Writers post serialized stories one chapter/episode at a time and schedule the release of each installment. The first...

Cats are so helpful

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 21 Jul 22

Amber @AmbiePam (92476) • United States 23 Apr 22

This is a painting my 10 year old niece (she'll be 11 in July), Amyra, painted. She's going to enter it in a competition, and I hope she wins. She first competes against the 10 to 14 year olds in her state, and if she wins that...

Author-Lissa She's incredibly talented! I hope she continues to paint in the future. I draw and write books now and then. I'm not sure where that comes from, because very few people in my family do either one. Here's a painting I did some months ago.

I can say I am an apple fan.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (69370) • Daytona Beach, Florida 14 Apr 22

For the longest time, I had not been a fan of Apple. Mostly because of their high prices and closed eco system. I had been an android user for as far back as the first version and gone through my fair share of phones. However, in...

Question: "What did you use to do?"

Shavkat @Shavkat (139828) • Philippines 25 Feb 22

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (28727) • Lichfield, England 25 Feb 22

This is the rose painting that I did. I drew the outline first, then started on the petals. I used acrylic paint. First I put down a layer of undiluted scarlet paint at the bottom of a petal, then I wet the brush and spread the...

Author-Lissa I noticed that if I'm lying down while reading, I'll sometimes get pretty sleepy. This doesn't happen all the time, so I assume it's because I'm already tired to begin and didn't realize it until I started reading. Sometimes though, I don't get sleepy and I...
