I think I will change my guitar strings today.

The Horse @TheHorse (231948) • Walnut Creek, California 20h

How often should a guitar player change their guitar strings? There is no definitive answer to that question "Every other month" would be my response if I did not feel like talking. But the real answer involves things like how...

On our way to the Country Music Muster, we stopped in Katanning to visit the playground. This has two sections: one is for children and one is for adults. The collage shows some of the adult equipment. There is a slide, a rocking...

Got A Little Done

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (124431) • Marion, Ohio 14h

First was tearing the bookcase apart and moving it. I now have a smaller one in it's place. That gives me room to bring my sewing machine table back in. Then I vacuumed real good so I can shampoo the carpet before I go to bed....

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (80348) • Daytona Beach, Florida 14h

I checked our snail mail, and the letter from the tax collector came. It contained the property tax bill which I always pay as soon as it comes in. I get a 4 percent discount (on top of the tax discounts) for doing it, so why not...

The Horse @TheHorse (231948) • Walnut Creek, California 12h

I bought a "TENS" machine

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (166266) • United States 13h

When I had to use up some money at the end of the year for my Flexible Spending Account I bought a TENS machine. I am using it on my knees right now. This type of non invasive treatment sends electrical impulses to whatever sore...

A childhood song I have never forgotten.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50415) 2 Nov

Do you have one of those? A song that made you feel happy and loved, taught to you by a loved one? I do...and it's a somewhat silly little tune, but it helped me in my childhood and even now, it pops up in my head quite often. I...

More calls for emergency services than ever before.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50415) 28 Oct

And many of the calls are not because someone is physically hurt. There has been a huge jump in calls for mental health issues the last few years, and I have read that it has really escalated in the last few months. Both panic and...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck The US came sort of close to banning TikTok at one point, but they didn't. I do know that some people use it for business and to make money, but many teens seem to be addicted to it.

Recall on a prescription drug that affects my son.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50415) 31 Oct

I do try to check out recalls if they are something that we use, or swallow, or whatever. We are living in a strange time...and we have to try to stay informed and sort out in our minds what is important, and what isn't. This is...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I know that some medications are very beneficial to many people, but some are just downright scary. When the medication is scarier than the disease or illness it's prescribed for, it has to make a person wonder!

Over a million US veterans will lose their SNAP benefits.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50415) 30 Oct

I read this and it made me so sad. Put your life on the line to serve our country, and then the country will let you starve. Some of these vets are low income, some have PTSD, and some are disabled. This is just wrong! We also...
