So, I met Mom at the supermarket this morning, ready to do our shopping….. Well, actually, I met her by the ticket machine. Some will remember the absolute palarva we had last week…. Anyway, I managed to outwit the machine, and...

You're a Jerk

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 25 Sep

That's what someone said to me the other day when I had stopped at Walmart. "You're a jerk." Now, I grant you, sometimes I can be. Or I just speak my mind, and someone thinks that even if it's not true. For some, of...

What's the Problem Mom?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 31 Jul

Thursday is a "mom" day, and I took her to the bowling alley to drop some money in the slots there. We lost our butts, but that's okay. Actually, it was only about $30 a piece. Not terrible, but the machines were really tight...

How I Like To Shop - In and Out in a Jiffy

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Dec 24

The photo is another of the inside of the new-to-us motor-home showing the kitchen area. There are storage cupboards above too. We consider ourselves ‘country people’ and find the hustle and bustle of city life a bit off-putting...

Another enjoyable day out for us

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Oct 24

Vince put some sort of additive in the car today and we needed to do a few miles apparently, so we drove about 20 minutes to the coast to Fremantle and had a fish and chip lunch on the harbour. It’s school holidays here; it was...

A Driver Going 3mph in a 5mph Zone

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (78833) • East Tawas, Michigan 23 May 24

We have some elderly people and children, living in this RV park. Thus, the owners caution us to travel on this driveway, no more than 5 mph. Some do and some don't, which isn't my responsibility. Instead, it's up to me to follow...

Another update on another husband

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 22 May 24

I went to see Vince in hospital this morning. I managed to find the entrance to the car park and found an empty spot but the bays were very tight. Luckily I have a smallish car. I was able to pay with coins so that was good. I...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Feb 24

Julia (@Juliaacv) wrote about the high cost of parking at medical centres in her region. Parking at hospitals here is incredibly expensive too. Parking at the airport is even worse but now they’ve brought in a new device to gain...

Backing Into Parking Spaces

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 29 Mar 23

I see a lot of people who back into parking spaces, and I never quite understand the purpose for this. Perhaps it is to save time? It can't be that, because it takes longer to manuever backing INTO the space than it takes to back...

A Simple Explanation

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Jun 22

Sometimes we can come across something that might be a bit unusual and come up with all sorts of explanations for the phenomenon. What we saw was pretty simple really. There were lots of parked cars and others still looking for...

An unintended long walk round a hospital

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Jan 22

After I left my husband in the emergency department a few days ago, I drove home to our gated village to wait for a phone call. It was an easy 15-minute drive and was well-signposted so I had no trouble getting home. Around 4.00pm...

The start of a learning curve

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Jan 22

You might think I’m a bit thick after you’ve read this but, in my defence, it is a very long time since I lived in a city or even in suburbia. Things like paying for parking, negotiating parking areas, using ticket machines,...

Looking on the gloomy side

Fleur @Fleura (35034) • United Kingdom 1 Jun 21

My partner does tend to be something of a pessimist. At the weekend we had taken Big One to an event and found ourselves near the coast with a day to fill. Little One wanted to go to the beach, and it did seem like the ideal...

Teresa Trotter @teresatrotter (4073) • Jacksonville, Florida 2 May 21

This past Thursday I went to get my disable placard to use for my car. Never had one before. I never thought of getting one until now. However... My mobility is somewhat slowing down, so I felt like I needed it now. Yesterday...

Upgraded landscaping...

Teresa Trotter @teresatrotter (4073) • Jacksonville, Florida 4 Mar 21

As part of the new landscaping, I just found out they are adding a retention pond. They have over half the property blocked off right now. Thank the Lord I have reserved parking. Everyone is reduced to being in a sardine can for...
