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

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 12 May

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...

A free place to live for a year in Michigan? Don't sign up for it just yet...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 11 May

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...

A rare severe geomagnetic storm watch for parts of the US, the next two nights.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 10 May

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!!...

Really bad night, but the day is promising!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 9 May

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...

Is it wrong that I want to go somewhere??

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 5 May

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.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 29 Apr

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 @MarieCoyle (29386) 29 Apr

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...

Have you ever been influenced by a mylotter?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 26 Apr

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?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 26 Apr

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....

When you need a break, what do you do?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 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...

Bad storms all around me now.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 18 Apr

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...

Some words can be confusing, can't they?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 15 Apr

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 (29386) 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...

Our postal service is a huge mess.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 10 Apr

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...

Eclipse Insanity is here!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 6 Apr

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 (29386) 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...

Drama at the local grocery store today

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 30 Mar

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?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 29 Mar

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....

One of the Hensel twins got married--but they are conjoined, so how does that work?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 28 Mar

OK, I know...I am way, way too curious about too many things. World famous conjoined twins, Abby and Brittany Hensel of Minnesota, who are school teachers (they both teach the same grade, same class, etc.) are conjoined from...

Dairy Queen in Kentucky forced minor employees to eat ice cream and cleaning solution.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (29386) 26 Mar

I read this today, and then I looked it up. I couldn't believe anyone in any type of restaurant management would force their employees to consume chemicals on purpose. Evidently, the person in charge felt they didn't clean the...
