Buttons, Buttons...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (37442) 1 Nov 21

All of you sewers, do you have a button box? This was my Grandma's. She raised her children during the great depression, and had a difficult time making ends meet as did most people. She saved every button. When the clothing was...

Marie Coyle @sprite1950 I enjoy cooking. Getting take out or going out, in my opinion should either be a treat or something you do when you can't fix food because you aren't home, and so on....so many Americans think they have to eat out every single day, which I find...

When the rain ruins your plans....

Nawsheen @Nawsheen (28643) • Mauritius 21 Jan 18

Today we were supposed to go hiking but unfortunately it's raining heavily and we had no other option than to cancel the plan. I was so excited for today and now this day has turned into a boring day. I think we will be...

Nawsheen @sprite1950 Oh yes definitely. Some children have learning disabilities and going to such posh schools won't help them even though some parents will force their children into such schools.

Glasses and self image

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 17 Oct 21

A decent pair of glasses can make a big difference to the way you feel about yourself. Recently the lens fell out of my favourite pair of glasses and I couldn't find it anywhere so I had to wear an old pair which I hated. I can't...

Editing posts

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 30 Oct 21

It's surprisingly easy to miss a typo when you are reading through discussions or comments because we read what we meant to write rather than what we actually wrote. I am continually finding mistakes that I did not notice at the...

Losing your dog

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 12 Nov 21

I think any dog owner will tell you how terrifying it is when your dog escapes and cannot be found. Yesterday an appeal went up on facebook as a dog I know escaped his lead, ran in the road and got hit by a car. Although he went...

Bought myself a smartwatch

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 21 Jan 21

I have wanted one of these for some time. I've decided I'm not as healthy as I should be so this device will track my steps, sleep, blood pressure, calorie use etc. It says the battery will last 10 days and it will inform me each...

Is it Mom, Mum or Mammy?

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 29 Nov 21

It occurs to me that most people call their mother "Mom" although in England we say "Mum". Is there anywhere else in the world that uses the same word as we do? In Wales and I think Ireland they often use Mammy and in some parts...

I'm sure there must be many covid discussions here but I haven't been here for a while and this is about my experience. I had two doses of Astrazeneca with no reaction but last month my 14 year old granddaughter brought it home...

Nawsheen @sprite1950 I can also easily open up with my mom. She has been my greatest support so far. I'm glad that Teagan can also open up to you. Communication is important.

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 22 Oct 21

I don't know if it's connected to the problem I had with my overflow tank in the attic but now water has come through my living room ceiling (slight) which is underneath the airing cupboard that houses the hot water tank. The...

A budding cook

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 26 Nov 21

I noticed when my granddaughter was very young that she showed an interest in cooking. As she got older she would be able to do simple dishes with supervision and now, at the age of 15, she is becoming a great little cook. In...

First Backyard Fire of the Season

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121581) • Gainesville, Florida 29 Oct 21

I've been waiting for a night like this for more than 6 months. Cool, but not cold. Crystal clear evening under the stars, huddled up around a good backyard camp fire. A perfect way to end a workweek. Roasting hot dogs and making...

Okay I know that I should be cleaning all the little nooks and crannies in my house on a regular basis but isn't it odd how you notice all the grime and fluff when someone is coming to visit. My plumber is coming this week and I...

A little sad today.

Linda Mansfield (Snowdrop) @sprite1950 (30452) • Corsham, England 20 Oct 21

Today marks the 50 year anniversary of a friend who was only 16 when he died. He was involved in a tragic car accident, a passenger in a car that was travelling too fast and went out of control. Even though it was all those years...

Deborah-Diane @sprite1950 - Home schooling and online schooling have merged into the same thing, here. In the past, parents would home school by using a bunch of workbooks. Today, they have the kids do it online. However, they also have the option of just saying they are...
