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

Senior moment #7,243?

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Dec

Have you ever had what might be described as a "senior moment"? Just now I went into the bathroom to retrieve my prescription (lower back) pain meds. I wanted to call and see if my new bottle is ready for pickup, and needed the...

Loretta I have to email myself lists to do and then I update and forward to me again. Those moments come often. I have ADD and aging so I can say, "every single moment" moments.

A lifetime of gardening

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342088) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Dec

My mother loved her garden and spent hours in it every day. Because of our climate, our potted plants need shelter from the sun so rather than hot-houses we have shade houses. She had two ‘shade-houses’. If a frost was predicted...

Not what we wanted to hear

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342088) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Dec

My husband is one of seven. One sister passed away some time ago; the youngest brother turned 75 on the first of December and the photo shows the trifle we were offered. The two eldest brothers (88 and 85) shared a birthday...

It Broke

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (50525) • United States 4 Dec

I haven’t been here much lately and I may be here even less until I can get a new iPad. Some of you know that I am legally blind. The iPad is very visually impaired friendly. Mine has gone completely dead. Until I can get another...

Wheee! I have my cell phone back. The lady who helped me was from Egypt!

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Dec

"Heart Attack Snow"

celticeagle @celticeagle (168256) • Boise, Idaho 4 Dec

I hadn't heard this term in years. More physically demanding that the treadmill shoveling snow is strenuous. Cold air added can be constricting to the blood vessels. That includes the coronary arteries. Of course, the body burns...

Loretta I saw a photo showing a huge path a man dug from his house that took four hours and he said he still had two more to go. I would think if someone lives where it snows that much, a blower would be less strenuous.

Whooping cough on the rise again

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342088) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Dec

Hitting our news headlines today is the fact that whooping cough numbers are reaching epidemic proportions. I know there are arguments against vaccinations but when a disease is seen very rarely, if at all, it’s easy for new...

Loretta It's scary to know many cases are coming back. Vaccinations for whooping cough is important and the more people begin to refuse those and other like MMR, tetanus, polio, etc., we will go backwards horribly. The Nuytsia floribunda is beautiful.

Loretta It's hard to find someone. I stopped long ago and OK with it. I did meet my now ex husband using a newspaper service but that was back in the 1990's. If you are looking, I hope you find the right person.

It rained last night!

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Nov

Honest Writing

much2say @much2say (56053) • Los Angeles, California 12 Nov

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (90464) • Arvada, Colorado 29 Oct
