18 May
The neighbor came over. He needed to make a call to get his son to take him to his cell provider, because his phone decided to die, I believe from what he said, of old age. He wanted his son to help him pick out the best phone for...

I had sort of forgotten them. I was a fairly young girl when that became popular back in the hippie era. But today...I witnessed one. Here I was at the pharmacy again, this time by some miracle, our local CVS had one of my son's...

If you own a car, don't get ripped off on this simple repair!

Recently, one of my neighbors (who is not the smartest cookie, but..) had a headlight out. She asked me where to go to get it replaced, and I told her to go to O'Reilly's or to Auto Zone--buy the bulb, and they install it for...

I heard this on the news earlier, then I stumbled on the article. It was discovered that a 34 year old woman had been living in a rooftop grocery store sign (YES, you read that right--she lived in the sign!) for a year. Some...

This is a very rare thing. I have been lucky to have been able to see the Northern Lights many times, but I do know it is rare to see them in some areas of the country. Tonight and tomorrow night may be your night! Look it up!!...

The last two nights, my son has been up and down the entire night. I go to sleep, he goes to sleep, and then...he's up. He putters around, tries to be quiet, but I am a light sleeper, and it wakes me up. So then, I'm up, too. Over...

Don't get me wrong here...I am no gadabout. I like to be home. I love my children, but for a long time now, it's so hard to get away for a break. I get to see my oldest daughter as she is not far away at all, so I can take my son....

We have lost our hearts. This does not make me proud at all.

Today was very different. I lost a very, very special old friend. We go back more years than I can say. It put me in a mode of sadness all day, I didn't get much accomplished. I was too busy remembering old times, things said and...

Do you listen to your body? Do you ever get down to just basics? What keeps you going?
Marie Coyle

This is often hard for me to do. We all have our duties, responsibilities, and obligations. It's just part of life. Whether we are single or have a partner in life, children or no children, jobs, homes to care for, elderly or...

I realized I get ideas for things here, as well as the interactions from good people. I get ideas about foods, and things to do, share memories, enjoy the stories. Today, a post from Lenore Plassman @sallypup reminded me I...

Do you eat too fast? Eat and run? Bolt your food down?

I thought about this several times lately. For years, I know I ate my meals way, way too quickly. I was in a terrible hurry all the time, I guess. Chasing kids, working, cooking, keeping house--the same things many of us do....

Marie Coyle

22 Apr
Sorry, this is longer than I intended it to be! Normally, I would say to someone asking me that, well, just take a break then! Sadly, it doesn't always work that way, does it? I am a 'never give up' type of person. When I have...

We have a lot of wicked storms in my area. They were just heavy thunderstorms, but now some tornadoes have developed as well. I always worry...they can, and have, often caused so much damage and destruction and yes, lives. I do...

I was thinking earlier about my youngest daughter. Friday, she received a work promotion that is considered to be a big one. She works hard, she is a wife, a mother of two little very active boys, and one of my big sources of...

Popular Lunchables, served in schools?
Marie Coyle
@MarieCoyle

11 Apr
It seems Lunchables are finally being called out for what they are--a highly processed little plastic tray, with a plastic film, and overly processed food, which can contain somewhat high lead levels and sodium content. I never...

There are few businesses or amenities that we can count on to always be true and steady. It used to be, not long ago, that the USPS was one of those trusted things. They would always deliver the mail in a timely manner (and to the...

It's in full force, and it's only Saturday. My area is in 97% totality, south of me about 60 miles is full totality. The interstates and state highways are already snarled up. According to my facebook feed, everyone is trying to...

Using children for political reasons?
Marie Coyle
@MarieCoyle

3 Apr
In a somewhat small but yet disturbing way, some MAGA people are using little children to put political papers on doors in some towns and cities. I have never seen one other than online in pictures, nor have I ever had one on my...

I had to get out and get gas and do 2 other errands today. Last was the local grocery, not far from my house. I only needed 2 items, so planned on a quick in and out trip. I was in line to pay, and the man in front of me fell to...

Are you in or close to the 'path of totality' for the April 8th eclipse? Are you traveling to see it?

I am not far from the path of totality. About 60 miles, I will see a partial eclipse here but not total. I am also linked to several main highways and interstates that people will be driving to reach the destination they chose....
