Where The Heck Is Autumn?

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 1 Oct 19

I thought by now we might be getting a break from this 90+ degree weather here in Florida. What happened to autumn? Isn't it supposed to start getting a little cooler? I'm no asking for much, just a little drop in temperature,...

Jackie Money It's starting to look a little bit autumny here in the east of England but most of the trees and bushes seem to be holding onto their green this year!! I'm dying to take some photos of the changing colours but it just isn't happening.

Still seeing roses bloom in Dustin's garden on this first day of October. I continue to water the rose bush every couple of days, since we have no rain for awhile now. Still in a heatwave and drought. But thankfully the roses...

Jackie Money I know several people who don't like roses but I just can't understand them. They're beautiful, delicate and somehow they just make me feel calm ... no idea why!

Another example of bureaucracy gone mad

Judy Evans @JudyEv (340216) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Sep 19

Now that we’re ‘old-age pensioners’, we get a few perks from the government. For starters, if you live a certain distance from the metropolitan area, you get a voucher each year for $500 of free fuel. Couples only get one voucher...

Jackie Money Over here we get free prescriptions when we reach 60 and,here in Norfolk, we get free bus passes when we reach 65 - weirdly that's lowered to 60 if you live in Scotland or London! We then get a household fuel allowance in the winter when we get to 65.

Ever shared a post on Facebook that turned out to be just a Rumor?

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27134) • Dallas, Texas 17 May 19

I am guilty of sharing a link to a post on Facebook that later I took time to look at and after fact checking it, like a follower told me to do, I found out that the shared article on my Facebook Wall was just a rumor that had...

Jackie Money Yes, I'm afraid I did! I saw that some celebrity had died so I shared with my friends saying how sad it was. I then discovered, just below the post I'd shared, that it had been a hoax! The latter post was by the BBC so trusted it above the earlier one

A Daffodil Surprise

Jackie Money I love bluebells and fortunately, in the wood beyond my garden, every spring we see a blanket of blue. A couple of years ago I was weeding my garden in the early spring and saw something that looked as if it could be a plant but I wasn't sure. I was curious...

Do you talk to strangers whom you meet in the flight, bus or train while travelling?

Sheali @Sheali (7461) • India 2 Feb 19

Jackie Money It sounds as if you may have some sort of gastric problem. You really need to see your doctor as soon as possible. Get it sorted out before it becomes serious.

Selfie addicts?

Jackie Money What amazes me is that people take pictures when they're on their holidays and post them on social media. It's so easy for someone to find out who you are and where you live so an instant draw for anyone who's into burglary!

What would you name an island?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (340216) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Oct 18

I don't really need to know what you'd name an island. It's just a rhetorical question so I can tell you about the Montebello Islands which form an archipelago of about 174 small islands. Collectively they cover about 22 square...

Jackie Money Maybe the alcohol references relate to smuggling or maybe there was a port that was a stopping point for alcohol carrying ships on their journeys further afield, but whatever the reason I just love the names of those bays!!
