Judy Evans @JudyEv (340064) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Nov

Yesterday, Vin and I went on a mystery picnic. The social committee at our village organised a bus to pick us up at 10am. We drove to a place called Golden Ponds. It has a caravan park, chalets and a fishery. For a fee, you can...

Might be Getting Some Snow Today

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (101) • United States 21 Nov

If we do get it, which it's forecasted at a 55% chance that we will, it'll be our first snow of the season. It won't stick or accumulate or anything, it'll just be small short snow showers as I understand it. It's currently 38F...

MARILYN Our temperatures have dipped to below freezing quite a few nights lately so I turned on the heat but keep it low so my pipes don't freeze. I don't mind wearing warmer clothes during the day so that I'm not burning money running the heat.

Oh Christmas Tree.

As you all know, we celebrate Christmas early here. So I like to share the Christmas decorations I saw last night at a hotel lobby in Makati. It was so grand and lively, the Christmas spirit is really here.

Do you believe people can speak in tongues?

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 20 Nov

I guess most people are aware of what this is. It is when people in church or some kind of religious gathering start speaking in a language not native to them. I think it is Hebrew or Aramic. They are supposedly overcome by the...

Coffee/Tea Drinker & Adds Ins

Amber @AmbiePam (92779) • United States 20 Nov
