Max Crisp We’ve got snow forecast here next week, so you’re not alone. The first of the season, and it’s not even winter yet! This song is very ‘country’ and she has a great voice, but not my cup of tea. I can relate to having a tear in my eye though. It seems to be...

I won't be here much tomorrow

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339496) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Nov

I won't be here much tomorrow. I have a train to catch! Eight of us are travelling to Dwellingup in Western Australia. In the evening, we’ll be boarding a train and having dinner on board while it goes a certain...

Max Crisp I wasn’t here at all tomorrow. Or was it the day before? I love steam trains, so I’d be disappointed if it was a diesel. We have lots of heritage railways here in the UK running steam trains. Like yours, they are mainly run by elderly...

####### Two paths diverged in the woods and America took the psychopath. ####### Do you ever feel broke? Busted? Disgusted? Agents can't be trusted? (John and Michelle Phillips, 1966). And frustrated because you see the...

Max Crisp I have read that lots people here in the UK have left X and moved onto Bluesky in the last few days. Many were not happy when it changed from Twitter and especially since Musk has been pushing his political agenda. I’d never heard of it before yesterday, but...

How many hours do you sleep at night?

Manuela Lopes @nela13 (58661) • Portugal 8 Nov

Today I read some news that people who sleep 9 or more hours a night are more attractive. I sleep between 6 and 8 hours, but never 9, not even on vacation! I guess I need to change this...

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Sloop John B.

Four Walls @FourWalls (67737) • United States 12 Nov

It’s dental cleaning day! I’ve taken my Tylenol so I won’t be annoyed by the technician digging into my gums. Before I head up there I’m going to provide you with the next two songs in the alphabetical list of my 100 favorite...

Max Crisp Our Lonnie Donnigan did a slower version, which is good, but for me this is the best. I associate The Beach Boys with summer and they always bring a smile to my face. Excellent choice!

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Son of a Preacher Man

Four Walls @FourWalls (67737) • United States 14 Nov

What do you know, I left my bag at home, so I have to type this by finger. Or, I can dictate it. We’ll see how that goes. Meanwhile, here’s today’s pop song, definitely a top 20 pick. Enjoy this, because you’re going to hate me...

Max Crisp Dusty had a great husky voice and sung some great songs. I loved her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys. Did they sing ‘How Much is that Doggie in the Window’? If not, they should have. I think my favourite of hers is possibly I Close My Eyes...

A surprise I didn't need!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (37182) 20h

Maybe some of you will remember that last year, I was in a car accident. A lady pulled out of a fast-food restaurant and slammed into the side of my car, while I was driving down the highway. Police were called, she received 3...

Max Crisp You need this like a hole in the head. Once a claim is settled, that should be it! I’ve never heard of this happening before, but nothing surprises me any more. I’d be tempted to ignore any correspondence from them. Maybe reply just the once to remind them...

Newbie here.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (37182) 31 Aug 20

It's hard to write the first post, isn't it? So, I won't say much yet. I am just like everyone else, getting through this weird ride called life during a pandemic. Hope everyone has a good day, I look forward to being in the...

Max Crisp Hi Marie! This discussion of yours has just popped into my view. I didn’t know you back then, but I’m glad we both made it through the pandemic. I just had another booster shot recently, the 1st for a couple of years. I caught covid about this time last year,...

Honesty is not the best policy!

Fleur @Fleura (30346) • United Kingdom 4 Nov

They say that you learn from experience, and also that experience is what you get right after you need it. Today I learnt that I should just keep my mouth shut instead of trying to be helpful. I have scrapped my car (it had...

Max Crisp Welcome to rip-off Britain! There was a time you would get a rebate for the unused time, but not anymore. I also don’t like this trend of auto-renewal. If it wasn’t for that, you could have just let the time lapse and ignore any contact...

How long can you stand on one leg?

Fleur @Fleura (30346) • United Kingdom 5 Nov

Yesterday I read an article stating that a simple new measure of healthy ageing is the length of time a person can stand on one leg. I have since found several articles on the subject – here’s one –...

Max Crisp I saw this in the Daily Mail a few days ago. It’s called the ‘Flamingo test’ or ‘Flamingo challenge’. Like you I had to give it a go. For my age group (60 to 69) I had to exceed 30 seconds on my non-dominant leg, which I did with no problem at...

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Rainy Day People

Four Walls @FourWalls (67737) • United States 3 Nov

Oh, no, this charted on the country charts as well. It’s not an intentional “two-for-one country song” day. I don’t remember it getting airplay on country stations. Oh, well. Linda? Listen with caution. Here’s today’s song...

Max Crisp Another cracker from the recently deceased Gordon Lightfoot. This one doesn’t get much airplay over here, but it should. If I Could Read Your Mind, I hear often, and rightly so as it’s an all-time classic, but he has so many other top tunes....

Sorting my phone out so I can vote for Wynne Evans!

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (28727) • Lichfield, England 2 Nov

So yesterday I told you in my shopping post that I went into the Vodafone shop to see why I couldn't vote for people on Strictly using my mobile phone. He said it was probably because I had a spending cap on my phone and he gave...

Max Crisp Why pay for it? If you go onto the Strictly home page on the BBC website, you get 3 free votes. It’s a win win, or rather a Wynne, Wynne, Wynne, if you give him all your votes!

The day I got married - a memory

Always smiling @allknowing (136011) • India 2 Nov

celticeagle @celticeagle (166718) • Boise, Idaho 31 Oct

Back in the 'olden days" people had some weird beliefs. Religions were so strict and people were ignorant of many things back then. They were even more suspicious of things they didn't understand than people are today. I made a...

Max Crisp I think all women are witches. Why? Because they are scary, able to cast a spell over us men, and often huddled over a cauldron boiling broth. It’s shocking how they were persecuted in the past,...

"Say Cheese"

Always smiling @allknowing (136011) • India 1 Nov

That is my nephew's little girl - not little any more. I have lost contact with her now as is the case with youngsters who live in their own world. I suppose we all do - thanks to online activity I am more here than with my off...

Max Crisp I love how the photo captures the reflection of the trees and buildings in the water. The girl looks like she is telling the wide-mouthed frog joke. “Say Cheese” is still popular over here.

Foods that heal - curry leaves

Always smiling @allknowing (136011) • India 1 Nov

Our property is loaded with curry leaf plants and trees. We planted just one and now they have propagated on their own. One tree is larger than our mango trees and could well qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records....

Max Crisp Curry leaves are something I’ve not knowingly tried. I’ve seen them used by chefs on tv shows but never sought them out. As far as I know, we don’t grow curry leaf trees in the UK.

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)

Four Walls @FourWalls (67737) • United States 31 Oct

Holy cow, what a car bill! I’m not complaining (as I’ll explain later this evening in a separate discussion), though…still cheaper than buying a new one! Speaking of “holy cow,” how about the great voice of this gentleman back...
