Dag Nab You, Walmart

Jim Bauer @porwest (95308) • United States 10h

Will there ever come a day when I can only ever praise Walmart? Maybe, but I suspect probably not. Look, I like Walmart, don't get me wrong. Sure, their checkers are the slowest checkers on the planet, and their customer...

The Horse Honestly, I hope Saria is on an off-ramp soon with a sign saying "Recently unemployed. Need help." Am I a "bad person"?

Well, one more day in the books.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (74129) • Daytona Beach, Florida 10h

Today has been one of the better days. Not as warm and George didn't feel like walking to the mailbox today, but that's okay. He did it two days in a row and more importantly he didn't fight me when I cleaned his stoma. I call...

The Horse I am thankful that Guitar Center was fun, and that my students made progress. I am thankful that I do not have plans to fly in the near future. I am thankful that I have no plans this evening and can eat some sushi and write.

What do you consider a lost art?

Amber @AmbiePam (95623) • United States 30 Jan

When I ask what you consider a lost “art”, I use that term loosely. Because my example isn’t traditionally thought of as art, but it’s a craft that shows off an artistic side of a person. See, my sister loves the animated movie,...
