Night-time dramas

Judy Evans @JudyEv (366973) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Dec

Our neighbour in the village was telling me about the ‘episodes’ she experiences at night. She apparently has very violent dreams and thrashes around in her sleep. I was especially interested as Vince’s elder brother experiences...

Do you ever find yourself playing with these “toys”?

Amber @AmbiePam (107848) • United States 23h

Good Morning 12/10

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (319340) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 10 Dec

Fifteen days until Christmas and ten days until the first day of winter. I love it when winter shows up early. It snowed during the night and early morning. The trees look beautiful in their winter finery with the snow gracing the...

I Think I Strained My Brain Today

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (26) • United States 20h

This morning was my dementia testing. It lasted 3 1/2 hours. I felt like I did well naming as many animals as I could in 30 seconds, naming as many words that started with the letter "F" as I could in 30 seconds (I was good and...

Do you have allergies?

The Horse @TheHorse (232876) • Walnut Creek, California 21h

I have had "hay fever" and asthma for all of my life. Even as a child, I remember making melodies with the phlegm in throat (or below) as I fell asleep. Right now I am dealing with an itchy back. It corresponds with...

snowy @snowy22315 (199842) • United States 10 Dec

I just found out that Sophie Kinsell (aka Madelyn Wickham), one of my favorite authors and just a good, kind human being has died. She was the one who wrote the Shopaholic series, and many other humourous books. She was diagnosed...

My phone updated overnight

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125543) • United States 20h

I woke up before the alarm this morning and looked at my phone to see what time it was. I freaked out when I saw the screen was not my usual wallpaper with the time but instead the "bonjour/allo/etc" screen that you see when you...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (126192) • Marion, Ohio 16h

Again. At least for a few hours I was able to see bare ground. But it is disappearing again. Of course in time for me to go shopping tomorrow. At least I get to stay local this week. I finally got the new internet ordered. After...

Lucifugous

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (26) • United States 10 Dec

This is a cool word, right? Ever heard it before? Me neither. It means to flee the light. Originally used to describe certain insects or animals, I think we could apply it to bad guys in today's culture. They'll do things in...

Kalista the Greek.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14093) • Ireland 18h

Kalista was Greek and wrote poems about freedom, or that's what she said they were about: I couldn't read Greek back then in 1974 and I'm not much better now having peaked somewhere around 1993 and travelled only downhill since...
