Growing where it shouldn't

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349437) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Mar

We are house-sitting and there are lawns on both sides of the house. This vagrant plant is poking its head out through the lawn. Do you recognise it? It’s a pumpkin. There are several pumpkin platns in the garden but somehow this...

Pitstop I remember seeing the record player in my grandparents home as a child. I've used plenty of cassettes and CDs and they are all buried somewhere in my parents home.

At what time does afternoon become night?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349437) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Mar

The photo shows the clock that is in the bedroom at our house-sit. The figures are large and it’s easily read at night and without my glasses. As you can see, it gives the day, date and year as well as the time. You might also...

Pitstop They had an entire discussion about when afternoon becomes evening on a radio show last week and couldn't come to a conclusion. I should ask them to buy this clock to help them decide!!

They closed the end of our highway

snowy @snowy22315 (186886) • United States 18 Mar

I had to go out to do some errands and drove in kind of a semi circle, but I was going to take the fast highway on the way back. They had detour signs up. It was completely closed. I wasn't about to take some crazy detour like I...

Content bunny

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2061) 18 Mar

Coco is content when he is in the house in his little basket. He just sits there, especially on cold days. No need for him to even wander out of his basket, unless he need a drink or a snack. Coco usually comes in during the...

This isn’t going to get me to watch the news if I can help it.

Amber @AmbiePam (96717) • United States 14 Mar

I think pretty much all over the United States we were told to be prepared for a windy day. The news also cautioned us all about fire danger. So my apartment manager sent out a text warning the residents to keep an eye out for...

Q of the Day: Is Buying Bottled Water Worth the Extra Cost?

DB @dgobucks226 (36345) 14 Mar

We all need water to survive, so drinking enough daily is imperative to good health. What do you consider your favorite method to consume it, and does it matter whether you drink from the tap, use a filter, or buy bottled...

Pitstop I rarely use bottled water. I use a filter on the tap water and just use that. I only buy bottled water if I am travelling and run out of water.

The Horse @TheHorse (224830) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Mar

It is chilly out (49 F when last I checked), but I actually see sunshine as I type at 11:30 AM, California time. Our early Spring plum blossoms have come and gone, but our hills are still green. I have not been on a hike yet this...

Pitstop This is nothing new. Politicians the world over are casual liars. Don't think we can change that. The type of lies they say and how they say it differs.

I Caved...Oh No!

Jim Bauer @porwest (98541) • United States 19 Feb
