Hello. How are you all? I'm groovy. I've had a varied week. Last weekend, my husband and I went to a pub quiz. I was going to the pub to book a Chrismtas meal. As it's a 30 minute walk away, I didn't want to go just to come back...

pumpkinjam It can be tiring! I had been wanting to get involved in something for a while but didn't know how to go about it or what I could do. My husband did also remind me that I need to be careful not to take on too much He knows how important theatre has...

pumpkinjam Years ago, I did some volunteering with nurseries and play groups but I'd not done anything for some time. I've always been interested in performing arts. I was in a group but, again, hadn't done that for years. My sons both joined the same group more recently...

Fod trucks are not very common in the suburb I stay in but there is one that comes regularly to the park we sometimes go to. Last evening, I finally succumbed to the temptation when I saw it as we were in the park after ages. We...

Do you do the same thing every year for Christmas and other holidays? When my husband and I moved in together, We put the special things he did together with the special things that I did. We open our presents on Christmas Eve and...

pumpkinjam @jstory07 I do try to make it fun. I always say that anyone else is welcome to join us. They never do but that's probably a good thing as my place isn't very big We see other family before or after.

pumpkinjam @LindaOHio going out to eat isn't friendly on the diet Even if you're careful with your choices, there could be additional ingredients that you don't expect. We'd been out for more meals than we would normally. Every time friends want to meet,...

pumpkinjam @LindaOHio being naughty once in a while is OK but I'd been naughty too many times recently, especially while on holiday! Gammon steak is pork. It's like a really thick piece of lean bacon.

pumpkinjam We do the same thing every Christmas. I will make a big Christmas dinner. The exact ingredients might vary but it will be two or three types of meat, some roast potatoes (and maybe other roasted root vegetables), green veg, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and maybe...

pumpkinjam We do a regular shop about every 4 to six weeks, topping up some of the longer life items or anything that's run out. We can get odd bits like bread and milk from a small shop across the road. Outside of that, we know we need to do grocery shopping if we run...

pumpkinjam It wouldn't scare me but it would terrify my big sister. She's scared of clowns anyway. She's also scared of various other things (spiders, beards, worms, wire coat hangers)! We were out for Halloween and she kept having to move/turn because so many people...

pumpkinjam I didn't know that TGIFridays had filed for bankruptcy. We have them here but I've never been to them. It has never appealled to me, and my nearest one is hard to get to. Restaurants (and other businesses) are having a hard time. It's a balancing act to keep...

Well, sometimes you review wagyu jerky (a big yes), and sometimes you review vegan jerky. Do you like vegan food? I think you can make a nice vegetable plate with spices that are tremendous! But then, I’ve tried vegan cheese, and...

pumpkinjam I will try most foods, and have made veggie/vegan meals. I sometimes use meat substitutes to cut down on fat in some dishes. While I will make meals that just happen to only use vegan ingredients, I'm not a big fan of some vegan versions of meat flavour...

Do you think minors should be tried as adults? Some states in the USA allow people under the age of 18 to be tried in court as adults. I personally think that is BS and shouldn't be allowed. If we can see and acknowledge that...

pumpkinjam I think it depends on the crime. Regardless the nuances of the brain, your average kid knows right from wrong. If the crime is minor or the kid is a small part of something bigger then, yes, try them as a child. However, in cases where a child has committed a...

pumpkinjam @abhi_bangal that's a good point. If a response is needed immediately, I'll usually phone or text. Although, there are some I know who have specific preferred contact methods and will always respond to them.

pumpkinjam I think an instant connection is very rare. It can take time to develop a connection, and many people seem too busy to take such time. Some people also judge quickly and incorrectly. I know I used to be quite shy, which some people equated to being boring....
