Sunny Morning

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (118505) • Marion, Ohio 9h

It will be warmer today than it has been. But I knew those almost perfect days couldn't last. It still won't be too bad. So I might start on that big project a little bit today. Except for that I won't do very much. I need to...

Fleur What does a wifi bird feeder do?

I am working on peaches

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164465) • United States 8h

We have eaten some, and I have peeled and sliced about a third of the box. I am freezing them in quantities that will make a good pie. I do not put any sugar on them, just some lemon juice, because I do not have any citric acid,...

Fleur Dealing with a lot of produce at once, whether you have bought a big box or grown a glut, is always hard work. But it's good to have those stocks in the freezer later!

Managing distress.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13851) • Ireland 9h

In the early hours of what is called ‘today’, as I lay drowning in a disturbed half-sleep, I became troubled by a vague yet discernible episode of gastric distress. It culminated not in any troublesome issue from the gastric...

Cottage Cheese ...thumbs up or thumbs down?

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (85173) • United States 8h

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I'm not a big fan of cottage cheese yet I still buy it every now and then. This past week I added it to our grocery shopping and decided to have it for breakfast this morning. I added some diced peaches...

Fleur Yes I do, although I hardly ever buy it. Basically because if I do, I can just eat the whole tub with a spoon so it doesn't last five minutes! The most annoying thing, though, is that if anyone sees you eating cottage cheese they almost invariably ask if you...

What is the last thing you sold?

Amber @AmbiePam (100047) • United States 9h

I was trying to think of which sites would be best to sell certain things, and I think I decided on eBay. I don’t have a lot to sell, but I think a few things might make money. The last thing I sold (not online) were these calf...

Fleur The last thing I sold was a pair of horse-riding boots that Little One had grown out of (which I had bought on eBay a year or two earlier!) Before that I sold a vintage Avon powder compact that belonged to my Mum. I hardly sold anything on eBay in the last...

Plans for the Fourth of July?

Amber @AmbiePam (100047) • United States 30 Jun

Americans or non Americans, what are your plans for the Fourth of July? Some of you may remember me talking about how my dad’s family gets together at a “resort”. It hasn’t been nice in about 20 years, but the aunts (dad’s 6...

They ran into her birth mother.

Amber @AmbiePam (100047) • United States 26 Jun

So you guys know my two nieces and nephew are adopted. Some of you may remember how the youngest, Annelyn (5), came to be adopted. Her birth mother poured boiling water on the lower half of Annelyn’s body, and was taken away. What...

Fleur Did the mother work there? Is that how she knew their names and phone number? That is really very awkward and weird that she would ask if they wanted to adopt another child. Here a birth parent does not get to know who the adoptive parents are (unless a child...

How long do you let someone live with you for free?

Amber @AmbiePam (100047) • United States 29 Jun

So say you are letting someone live with you for free because their circumstances aren’t the best (no, not me). They have a nice RV, but they can’t seem to sell it. You let them live there, thinking it is temporary as they say...

Fleur That's a difficult situation isn't it, because if you let them stay for a while without saying anything, then it's really hard to bring the subject up. And the longer it goes on the harder it is of course. But if they have the same income then they should...

Spaghetti

DE @DaddyEvil (152197) • United States 23h

I was using WhatsApp and talking with a friend while making spaghetti this evening. When I broke the spaghetti into the pot, he gasped and told me I was doing it wrong... Something about Italians claiming you couldn't break...

Fleur Isn't it supposed to represent cutting your life short or something?? I just put the end of the spaghetti in the pan and as soon as it softens enough to bend I push the other end down with the lid. Works fine; I don't end up with one end cooked more than the...

Fleur That was a long day! I'm glad you were there to help him, he obviously needed someone to hold his hand, metaphorically, and I'm sure he really appreciated it. That's what friends are for, right?

After your sixth beer, maybe order a pizza

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357176) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Jun

It’s time for another funny sign and this is one which we saw recently. Vince does almost all our cooking and he is not a big fan of barbecuing saying it’s been the ruination of many a good piece of meat. He will mostly cook...

Such a Simple Dish, But So Good

Jim Bauer @porwest (102310) • United States 30 Jun

I wanted to use up some leftover pork steak I had. So, I decided to make an "alfredo" of sorts. Not a true one. But a play on the concept and idea of one. Me follow a recipe? Are you kidding me? I cut up some red...

A very small bank

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357176) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Jun

This quaint little building is touted as the smallest bank in Australia. It’s certainly very small and was first opened in the 1930s as a branch of the Bank of New South Wales, which incidentally is where Vince started his working...

Weird Way to Look at Art

celticeagle @celticeagle (176480) • Boise, Idaho 1 Jul

How strange. One of my favorite content creators, Paper and Moose, on YouTube who resells people's throw aways just had a rather odd experience. She came upon a stack of paintings that she really liked. She started to put some of...

Would you buy a 'Possessed" Doll?

Baconstripsxxx @BACONSTRIPSXXX (15320) • Torrington, Connecticut 1 Jul

Three-wheelers on display

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357176) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Jun
