Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (71884) • Daytona Beach, Florida 19h

At least I got everything accomplished including getting the laundry put away and a shirt ready for George. I did get George to go outside today even though he wound up needing two sweat shirts again. He usually wears a jacket and...

What will you miss about the Christmas season?

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 22h

Yes, I realize Christmas is not over. I wish the season would last a little longer though. Amyra (my niece, pictured) is already campaigning to go see more lights before they take them down around town after Christmas. I guess...

Hot Dr. Pepper

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 18 Dec

I was watching the local morning news yesterday morning, and on the segment, “What Caught Our Eye”, one of the news anchors mentioned an online video she saw of a woman making Hot Dr. Pepper, a drink her family made every...

April You know I'm up for trying most things just once. But hot Dr pepper with lemon doesn't sound remotely interesting enough for me to try. It just sounds gross. I don't even like the flavors they offer for Dr pepper now. Ew.

On the Other Side of the River

Jim Bauer @porwest (92695) • United States 15 Dec

Without divulging too much, my wife and I live in Southern Illinois near St. Louis, Missouri and my wife works "on the other side of the river." These are terms we use often around here since we essentially live "on the...

April It used to be that way with us and Alabama, we would drive across the border to Alabama to get gas. But it isn;t that big of a difference anymore.

Good Eats Corn

Jim Bauer @porwest (92695) • United States 14 Dec

I tend to prefer frozen corn over canned, so I generally buy Great Value frozen corn in a 2-pound package for around $2.48 at Walmart. One of our favorite ways to eat it is cooked in the microwave with a little bit of butter or...

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 12 Dec

Last night I dreamed one of our single members of Mylot got married, and I hitchhiked to her wedding (no, I would never hitchhike). When I looked at her gift registry, they were all books (she’s a notorious...

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 14 Dec

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (108277) • Marion, Ohio 14 Dec

A cool thing my parents used to do for Christmas.

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 10 Dec

Neither one of my parents ever really wanted anything for Christmas. I mean, if anything, they would have enjoyed books, but they had plenty of those. Our church happens to be close to a Christian college, so we’d always get...

Once again, George went out today, and we spent some time on the porch. He got to watch the mail truck come, one of his favorite things to look for. He even asked me to find our tablettop christmas tree and put it out, which I...

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 4 Dec

Do you drink enough water, with or without ad ins?

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 1 Dec

I used to drink so much water, and lately I’ve been kind of slacking off. I got these sugar free packets to review and I’m getting back into drinking water again. I love fresh clean water on its own, but on occasion, I put a...

Edible Bubbles

Amber @AmbiePam (94009) • United States 30 Nov

Big Tech Could Soon Own Banks??

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3186) • United States 30 Nov

Good morning, everyone. I recently heard that big tech could soon own banks. I don't know that I'm a fan of that possibility at all. Don't they have enough access to our data as it is? Just saying. Is there nothing they won't...

April Just look at it this way- if they want to know it about you they will. And that has nothing to do with tech owning companies.
