Judy Evans @JudyEv (339496) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Oct

MyLotter, Always Smiling, posted about her water hyacinths and I thought they might be a nice option for me to have in a basin or small pond. When I researched, I found that they are a declared weed in Western Australia. It must...

Marsha No. I think a low of people still enjoy reading. I know Amazon still sells a lot of books. As far as getting information, I do think we turn to search engines for a lot of that.

You know the term "When it rains, it pours." Right? Well, I hate it when one thing comes up that I have to take care of and then another and it just snowballs. If you know me you know I stress. My middle name is "anxiety". Stuff...

Marsha I do fairly well not getting overly stressed out but sometimes it can't be helped. I guess it can be helped but I don't always process things right either.

I noticed Bob was running low on a med, so I ordered it about a week ago, along with a foot powder. These are ordered through the VA. I went to check on the status and they were just dispensed yesterday. So figure at least a two...

Too Little Productivity

Some Witch @somewitch (1385) 15 Oct

Marsha ... That's amore. For me a lot of times it's procrastination. It might be to much on our plate but if we have no goals then we might not get anything done.

much2say @much2say (55537) • Los Angeles, California 20 Sep

Do You Like Game Shows?

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (82704) • United States 10 Oct

I love game shows especially trivia based ones. I feel it helps keep my mind sharp and sometimes I'm amazed at the things I know and equally amazed at the things I don't know. My new find is The Floor with Rob Lowe as the host....

Dena Miller @Dena91 (16587) • United States 30 Sep

Turns out I way overpaid for Bounty

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44504) • Staten Island, New York 14 Oct

I was low on Bounty paper towels. Looked online and found a 12-roll pack of family size Bounty—which is what I usually get—at $2 off on Amazon. It was $33.49 instead of $35.49. And that’s not counting tax. I couldn’t seem to...

Marsha We're you near the path at all or are you ever near the path? I don't know that singing would keep your safe but I agree that it'll keep your sane. Is have to think about songs. When I'm concerned I like to sing loudly Christian tunes.
