A story I just learned about my mother.

Amber @AmbiePam (100259) • United States 7 Jul

A Mylotter once asked me to post more about my mom, but I haven’t too much, and since I’m low on post ideas I thought I would share this one. I just found out about it last year (May 4th it was 10 years since she died at 55)....

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Oh, Amber, what a touching story! Your mom was so special, a true heart for Jesus. She had no way of knowing the missionary would soon be gone. It's a reminder to never put things off. I know his widow is still thankful for that very special gift from your...

Happy Birthday

Amber @AmbiePam (100259) • United States 6 Jul

I can’t believe Amyra (my niece) is fourteen today. One of the presents I sent her was a nail kit with many different colors of nail polishes, nail gems, nail stickers, and the like. She was so excited to get to paint her nails in...

Do you like your phone?

Amber @AmbiePam (100259) • United States 3 Jul

I’m really happy with my phone. Before I had a smartphone, I didn’t know what I was missing. It’s an iPhone X, and it was brand new 4 years ago for only $200. Everybody in my family was able to get that one for that price. I don’t...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I have a Galaxy S22 and it's okay, but my battery doesn't seem to last long. Some of our kids have Androids and some have iphones, but I don't want to learn a new operating system.

What Advice Would You Give Your 18-Year-Old Self?

Carolyn @CCarolyn (70) • United States 2 Jul

If you could go back and talk to your 18-year-old self, what would you say? I think I’d say: “Stop worrying so much about what people think. Take more chances — it’s okay to fail.” It’s wild how much you learn with time. So now...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I would tell my 18 year old self, "You're much too young to get married!" But that was 59 years ago, so it worked out, lol.

Pigs in a Blanket

Jim Bauer @porwest (102687) • United States 2 Jul

It's just good eats, and oh so simple. Pigs in a blanket, and a perfect meal that won't have too many leftovers that can't wait until we get back from our camping trip to be eaten up. Hell, we might even take them along...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl They look yummy. I sometimes use sausage with mustard. That blueberry cobbler I baked today is so good! I guess because the berries are fresh. For dinner we had pork chops, fried potatoes, fried okra, and tomatoes. Everything except the pork chops was from...

I called the clinic,

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164634) • United States 2 Jul

Still no return call. I believe that since I am not symptomatic we will likely address this at my next scheduled appointment in about two months. Now Monday, I did just what most of the websites said would make me sick, that is,...

I'm Going to Wear My New Hat This Weekend

Jim Bauer @porwest (102687) • United States 2 Jul

Not that being a Navy veteran has anything to do with the 4th of July, but I have a couple of Navy hats I like to wear. One that I wear, usually on Veteran's Day, is my USS Enterprise (CVN-65) "official" ship's hat (similar to...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I think your cap is wonderful and I would proudly wear it if I were you. Last week Dale and I visited the Hickory Air Museum and he was able to go aboard a Navy P3 like he flew on when he was in the Navy back in the 60s. That was really cool, lots of good...

What is the last thing you sold?

Amber @AmbiePam (100259) • United States 2 Jul

I was trying to think of which sites would be best to sell certain things, and I think I decided on eBay. I don’t have a lot to sell, but I think a few things might make money. The last thing I sold (not online) were these calf...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl If you sell the new pair, would you be able to buy another one? If they help your legs, they might be worth keeping. I've sold a few things on ebay over the years, but it seemed to get where people wanted everything for 99 cents and free shipping. I don't see...

The Enemy From Within.

The Horse @TheHorse (228377) • Walnut Creek, California 2 Jul

I recently watched some 9/11 attack footage. It was pretty horrifying. I was not a Bush II supporter, but I thought he handled things as well as he could, at least in the short-term. Now, people in our Country are being...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I wonder if as parents we failed to teach our children love of country, respect for our nation and flag. We turned them over to professors who don't share our values for the most part and then we're surprised when all this garbage happens. I believe when the...

It's what's between the lines that counts

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357785) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Jun

In another life, we were partners in a farm machinery business. At one stage, they took on a young mechanic but soon found he was more of a liability than an asset. They gave him six months notice, citing there wouldn’t be enough...

Why the @!&%# Aren't These Cooking?

Quick Info You Might Not Know

The son is home now.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (45979) 12 Jun

After nearly two weeks, he is at last back home. I think I set a record on how many trips I made to the hospital, how many times I had to hunt for parking, pay for parking, and how many gazillion elevators I took to get to where...

Good Morning 6/10

Apartment Drama Update

Amber @AmbiePam (100259) • United States 12 Jun

It’s so funny my brother-in-law asked me why I wasn’t more forceful with management to hardwire my smoke alarms (because if they don’t by Tuesday I’ll have to move). I said, “Forceful enough?! I can’t REACH anyone!” So it’s been...
