Fleur @Fleura (30928) • United Kingdom 30 Jan

I’m sure @porwest will agree with me on this… About 25 years ago I thought that I should try investing some money to save for the future. The problem was that I didn’t have much to spare, and knew virtually nothing about the...

Waffle House is charging a 50 cents per egg surcharge

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121127) • United States 4 Feb

Hilarious. My buddy @porwest refuses to pay more than $2 for a dozen eggs (they are currently like $5 around here) and Waffle House is charging an extra 50 cents per egg used in a meal. How many eggs do they use for an omelette?...

Sweden Joins the School Shooting Lineup

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (82219) • Daytona Beach, Florida 4 Feb

The shooting occurred at Risbergska School for Adults in Orebro, Sweden. It is a campus also with schools for children. The school is on lockdown after a man in a mask entered and opened fire. Five people were shot and underwent...

Jim Bauer I am not. Because guns aren't the issue and no one wants to address what the real issues are. So, as a result, nothing will be ever be solved.

Jim Bauer Because of course, guns aren't the problem. So, something like this can happen anywhere, like you said, even in a place like Sweden who also have strictly enforced gun laws.

Dinner Winner! What's for Dinner Tonight?

Kareng @kareng (66433) • United States 4 Feb

We just finished dinner here and I have to say it was delicious. I had run to the store earlier this afternoon to pick up a couple more of the rump roasts while they are on sale, and they only had one left. I scooped it up and...

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 26 Jan

I've been gone more or less for a week. There was no real reason for that other than I just haven't felt good. Like everyone else with chronic illnesses and other health problems I have bad days and good days, and sometimes I have...

My Freebie From the Grocery Store

Kareng @kareng (66433) • United States 29 Jan

So if you read my previous discussion tonight, you know that I had to run to the grocery store for something for dinner. I also wanted to use some of my points for a free item before they expired. Last week none of the free...

Jim Bauer @kareng Yep. Ours don't expire, and you don't have to use them the way the store wants. They are awarded in dollars you can spend toward your bill at the register. If you have $50 in rewards and your bill is $100, you only pay $50 out of pocket.

Why are airplanes suddenly falling out of the sky? Another crash has occurred.

The Horse @TheHorse (222592) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Feb

A Lear jet ambulance airplane has crashed outside of Philadelphia. Apparently is is a very powerful and safe jet. In this instance, there were six souls on board, two pilots and four passengers. I'll attach a video in which a...

Jim Bauer @TheHorse Still, to somehow suddenly feel like air travel is not safe after these crashes seems to me to be a conclusive jump that I think is fueled by a desire to be alarmed for reasons that are not rationally driven.

Working for Pumpkins

Jim Bauer @porwest (95461) • United States 15 Mar 23

I remember when I was about 13-years old I saw a little yellow truck for sale for about $1,500, and even though I could not yet drive, I wanted it. I always had a penchant for work and ways to make money. I even sold greeting...

Little Ironies of Life

Jim Bauer @porwest (95461) • United States 22 Mar 23

Jim Bauer @moffittjc Interesting. I guess when I think of wordplay, I only ever think of English based on how many words are similar even if some are spelled differently. Like "raise" and "raze." In the former we're lifting something up and in the latter we're bringing...

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 2 Feb
