Dinosaurs never had coffee and look how that turned out. A coffee bean is my birthstone. Quirky, quiet, introvert.

I'm Dying

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (89744) • Arvada, Colorado 29 Oct

Is this possible? Well it is going to have to be. I have to stop drinking coffee, well, give it a go anyway. Something has been giving me severe nausea everyday. So I will try that, elimination. Right now I am having a cup of tea...

Loretta I refuse to give up my coffee and guess if it means it could kill me later, well, it was a fairly good life. Teecino is a good tea that is similar to coffee. I am going to cut out the afternoon coffee and just have my morning two cups. We'll...

The Horse @TheHorse (217607) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Oct

I gave Edith another guitar lesson last night. She is learning fast and has a really nice singing voice. She loves Linda Ronstadt, and so do I. Last night we worked on "Love Has no Pride," a song from "my day" that I actually...

Teri Garr Dies

Amber @AmbiePam (91681) • United States 29 Oct

Some may remember her for classic movies “Young Frankenstein” or “Tootsie”, but I remember her most for playing the biological mother of the character of Phoebe on “Friends”. I saw those other two productions later in life. She...

US voters, are you voting early?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (36456) 29 Oct

Please note--I am not asking who you are voting for! I was curious as to how many people have voted early, or plan to, this week. I did vote early. My reasoning in it was a bit strange but...it was better than not voting at all....

Judy Evans @JudyEv (338357) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Oct

We took photos of the horses and riders who were competing in a marathon event at the weekend. Most of the riders were entered just in the 16 km horse-ride but a few had already done an 11 km run, a 6 km paddle (canoe) and a 1 km...

Poisons in the Victorian Age

celticeagle @celticeagle (165620) • Boise, Idaho 17 Oct

During the Victorian age(1837-1901) and beyond people knew next to nothing about poisons. They didn't understand the effect they had on the body. Women used arsenic to achieve the pale look that was fashionable during that time....

Loretta @celticeagle I read in the 16th century, those rich, drank gold to help with age spots and aging. Read about other aging trends like scorpion oil and using silver or mercury.

Loretta I hope you can find out the results of the tests talking with the doctor. Hope the social worker finds him a safe place. If a place is good to their patients but food is iffy, maybe a special diet can be ordered and keep some Mrs. Dash or other available to...

Do you sort your loads of laundry?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (36456) 18 Oct

I was taught to sort the laundry when I was a little girl. We never washed lights and darks together, and reds were so wicked--usually they got washed by themselves. We read how to care for certain clothing by reading the tag. To...

Did you know that Country Singer Don Williams was a "folkie" before he became a country singer?

The Horse @TheHorse (217607) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Oct

I'm going to attach one of my favorite songs from childhood days. It's called "If I were a Carpenter," and it is sung by the Poso Seco Singers. Don Williams, who I believe songs lead on this song, was a member of the Poso Seco...

Judy Story @jstory07 (139309) • Roseburg, Oregon 17 Oct
