Kristie Benjamin Well, I would like a few milion dollars. LOL. Just kidding. I think one of those four wheel, two seater bikes would be cool to have, especially in good weather. Unfortunately, they are very expensive and probably not as practical as I think. It might help with...

The cacti are still thriving.

marguicha @marguicha (223795) • Chile 19 Apr 23

I was worried about my cacti with all these problems (the fire and the colonoscopy). I confess I took care of Luna but not of my plants. But cacti are not much interested in water. Only a small amount will suffice and they had...

Kristie Benjamin That's a pretty cool gift and generous too. Enjoy it and your new games as well. What types of games do you like? I often play simple matching games and sometimes word games too.

Kristie Benjamin Well, I never used to have insomnia but now that I'm older it has become an issue. I don't fight it, I just get up and do something until I feel tired. It's usually im the middle of the night too.

Cleaning day

Jaya singh @Starkinds (32712) • India 4 Apr 20

It's a cloudy morning here and I'm having my breakfast with my niece. So I'm feeling no hot winds today. It's quite good day to clean my house. Taking a big bucket of water I'm ready to clean the outside walls.

Kristie Benjamin Toilet paper is now coming back in stock again where I live, but tends to be restricted to one package per customer. Some stores won't even put the stuff out where you can get it and shoppers have to ask for it. It's crazy, I'll tell you that.

Kristie Benjamin Yeah, cats just love tight, confined spaces. The more contorted they have to get in order to get in or out, the happier they seem to be. My cat is now too big to do that, but she did it a lot as a kitten. Drove me crazy. I STILL cannot open any of my windows...

How Often Do You Go Out To Eat?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 12 Mar 13

I used to not go out to eat much, but in recent months I moved in with my parents and now I don't have the freedom to cook what I want to cook when I want to cook it, so I started eating out more. Plus, I work at a fast food...

Kristie Benjamin We eat out around 2 or 3 times a week some weeks. Other weeks it might be only once, it just depends on our mood at the time, financial situation, stuff like that. We seldom eat out more than 3 times a week, unless I'm not feeling well and hubby wants to treat...

Kristie Benjamin You know, up until recently, I had never even heard of a "babymoon". This, I think, is a new thing devised by the younger generation. (I'm from the dinosaur age myself, LOL) I think traveling while carrying twins is risky at best but I suppose if her doctor...

Kristie Benjamin I have never worked for Bubblews, but I've heard a lot of bad stuff about it, that it's a scam, that it doesn't pay out on time, or sometimes not at all. I read a lot of reviews about the site...almost all of which were bad.
