I know what happened

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160663) • United States 20 Mar

I often use lavender essential oil for calming with my main student. He really loves things that smell good. Lavender is supposed to be soothing. I put some on his shirt while we did the after lunch hygiene routine of brushing...

Wendy Your eyes watered and burned? I am like that with almost all strong fragrances. The scents have to be really mild. I don't like lavender that much, but I just LOVE musk, vanilla, strawberry and rose scents. They don't bother me, even if strong.

Are you afraid of the side effects of any medicine?

Shavkat @Shavkat (139933) • Philippines 21 Mar

Actually, I do have paranoia about taking medications. I do believe that they have adverse effects. I also felt this way when I got two shots of coronavirus vaccines. After having them, my eyes weakened, and now I am using two...

Wendy For the most part, I'm not at all concerned. When I began taking Prozac years ago, everyone was afraid it would make people act crazy. I believe some had that kind of reaction to it. But, being aware is a good thing. I told friends and my doctor that if I...

I hear there is a lot of fog outside

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160663) • United States 22 Mar

I have not looked out, but the online forecast states there is a fog warning. That means I should leave early, for safe driving. Besides other vehicles, wild animals can be a challenge. Two days ago a deer had just crossed the...

Wendy .I get fog alerts on my phone, but I know when it's really foggy when I hear the ships in the river sound their fog horns. Where she works is very close to the tidal waterways, so that area gets fog more often than we do. I try to tell her about it in case...

Question of the Day- Is it Alright to Talk to Yourself?

DB @dgobucks226 (35608) 22 Mar

When I misplace something in the house, I talk to myself as I try to remember where I put the darn thing, whatever it happens to be. I might even admonish myself by saying my name aloud for putting the item in a place I can't...

Wendy I'm always talking to myself. Unfortunately, I also tend to do it in public and have gotten some strange looks. But, I am the only one who understands me, so why not?

It's Time For Ice Cream

CAPirani Photography & Art @capirani (2840) • United States 6 Mar

Wendy I was 9 and it was March of 1964. We were flying out of Philadelphia going to Idlewild (now JFK) where we could change planes to fly to Venezuela to live until Dad's job there was done. They had to push me on to the plane because I froze at the door.

The banks want to take away your political rights? Can you make sense of this? Do you know people who would still consider voting for Donald Trump?

The Horse @TheHorse (218781) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Jan

Donald Trump is spiraling down the toilet bowl cognitively. In fairness to him, though, his father did not totally lose it until he was in his 80s, according to my (not too extensive) research. But Trump is giving speeches that...

Wendy If they make it fresh, the cook might not have used as much seasoning this time or the preseasoning of the chicken wasn't done as well as before. It all sounds good to me. Happy birthday, belatedly!
