My craft beads have arrived

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339930) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Aug 23

I have an order for two beanies for year-old twin girls. They are to be Christmas beanies and I’ve been waiting on some beads to arrive. I wasn’t able to buy what I wanted in our shops and I’m not sure these will work either....

The piano has been tuned

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339930) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Feb 23

We had our piano tuned today. It hasn’t been done for a couple of years and has been moved to this house in that time. The serial number tells us it was made between 1850 and 1890 so it is well over a century old. Pianos don’t...

josefina @josie_ (10034) • Philippines 4 Nov 22

rosyrose I think Einstein is justifying his cluttered desk. I want to tidy my desk up, when I’m done using it. It becomes really cluttered though when I am accomplishing something. But I organize . I know I don’t like wasting time looking for stuff. I also tidy up my...

Anna @LadyDuck (471485) • Switzerland 1 Jan 22

The Horse @TheHorse (218781) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Sep 22

I am not a "big reader," like some people are. But there are certain books that I read over and over. They become a part of "who I am." Among them are Tony Hillerman's murder mysteries. In those mysteries, Jim Chee and Joe...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339930) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Sep 22

I was given this pot plant (I guess I should say potted plant) for my birthday in July. When we were asked to house-sit several properties, I didn’t think it was fair to ask someone else to mind it. If it was going to die, I...

rosyrose When I was your age, i did experience similar nastiness. It became a norm for some teenage girls, it used to bother me, but I got so used to it that they finally got tired, they grew up or moved. I hope that it’s not a habitual occurrence .,

rosyrose They were not very helpful, their behaviour shows that they aren’t suitable for the job. If it’s just a form, they should have just accepted it. I would provide a feedback to the administrator of the clinic. That is unacceptable.
