Retirement has made George more agreeable.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (71519) • Daytona Beach, Florida 3 Jan 23

Normally, if I told George I needed to go somewhere, he'd complain. But, now that he's retired, he's more agreeable about it. It's good knowing that I can give him a head's up, and he's willing to do things and take me places....

Do you have a cat that stares at you?

Diana @dya80dya (36773) 7 Jan 23

I want to share a picture with you. This kitten is observing me almost all day long. She has a leg injury. I tried to find an owner for her, but people refused to take her because of her injury. My mom saved her. She was a stray...

Exercising daily is not easy

Diana @dya80dya (36773) 5 Jan 23

Since yesterday I started to exercise at home. I have to do this, but in the beginning I need to force myself. I feel very tired. I need physical exercises because my body has to be strong for what's next. I have to take care of...

Hate2Iron Everyone else in the family loves to exercise... and I pretty much hate it until I started to see that flabby skin on my arms. I'm losing muscle so that was enough to get me back into some kind of routine. I don't know how long it will take, but I exercise...

Clutter = $$

Quilter @fatragu (677) • United States 21 Aug 22

If you're anything like me you downsize your stuff before you move and then once you move you decide that you will never have that much clutter again. Then little by little things make their way into your home. Almost like...

Used cardboard

AbdulAziz @Emasburinong (1011) • Indonesia 20 Aug 22

The price of used cardboard in my area is now starting to fall. In the warehouse, there are many used cardboard boxes that I have tied up ready to be sold. But at the current price it might discourage me from selling it. Now the...

Hate2Iron I have heard that so many times! They are millionaires because they are careful with their money and that makes sense! I wish that I had known that when I was in my thirties! Shopping was my favourite pass-time!

Tomato pudding

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41686) • United States 19 Aug 22

Hate2Iron I had no idea that it had been around that long. It was in our house, but I thought that we added our own sugar?? Maybe I'm thinking of a different drink made in the fifties??

Hate2Iron The only thing that I can still enjoy without compromising my health is diet soda (to some degree) ... I know it's not healthy but I can't have sugar and I really miss my little treats. Now I wish more companies would begin using Stevia!

Hate2Iron We had no luck this year with the garden. Either the bugs ate everything or the sun was too hot for them. Oh, I forgot... the rhubarb did well! I'm running out of things to watch... will have to check to see if I have Hart of Dixie?
