feeling good

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (62303) • Centralia, Washington 21 Jan

I hope the photo appears. I made it to the trail with my pups. I don't have one of those handicapped placards for the car so I ended up parking the car a ways from the start. The pups got more of a walk and I got a challenge....

Do you have to deal with judgmental people?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (39852) 18 Jan

So many people, so many opinions on who is right, who is wrong, why their way is better than yours, it goes on and on. Many judgmental people are never, ever wrong--not in their eyes. They think the path they are on is the only...

Cold Days and Comfort Food

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83468) • United States 21 Jan

Happy Tuesday Everyone! saying it's cold here today would be an understatement. When I got up this morning it was 3 degrees F and now it's a balmy 7 degrees F. No sun either which makes it seem even more frigid. Plus the snow we...

Valerie J. Routhieaux It's a good time for chili too. I haven't had stew in a long time. We have a balmy -9 with a windchill at -23. I'm not going anywhere either. Enjoy your stew. I might make tuna mac and cheese. It's my comfort food lately and perfect for a chilly day.

This mug situation is absurd

snowy @snowy22315 (183883) • United States 21 Jan

I have maybe 10 or 12 mugs here and only a couple of them match. Worse, I keep using clean ones, and end up having to wash several. I am really tempted to just buy a nice set of 4 or 6..OK 6 in case I need spares and just donating...

Still a cold one, but George got up and went outside.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (73696) • Daytona Beach, Florida 20 Jan

I wasn't sure he would, but it was sunny. He didn't stay out near as long today, but he did go out. I got his stoma clean and left it open to air a bit. It's looking good today. I just have to keep it clean.
