Ali Canary 56 days, according to LindaOH! In NC, we had no snow for almost three years before last year. This year, we've had a couple of light snowfalls, but we're looking at a big ice storm this weekend. We're doing everything we can think of to get ready.

LindaOH @LindaOHio (211678) • United States 23 Jan

56 days until spring. I'm sure everyone is bracing for the big storm that is coming. Please stay home after today, stay warm and stay safe. I don't know if Meals on Wheels will come today. It's mighty cold out there. The...

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (7213) • United Kingdom 23h

So, tonight was the last of our meal deals. We went to the local Toby carvery as they should be £10.79 but this week they are £6. A great saving. As usual I had Turkey and pork, and also added beef. Yorkshire pudding, roast...

Ali Canary That sounds very good and hearty! I wanted a hearty meal, too, so I went for fish and chips (but instead of the chips, I had broccoli, because I'm a big nerd and there's only so much fried stuff I can eat).

Blame It On the Bossa Nova

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (93271) • Daytona Beach, Florida 22 Jan

“Blame It on the Bossa Nova” is a real oldie, and the bossa nova was a dance. If you remember a singer named Eydie Gormé, then she sang this song in 1963. It became a hit single for her. This song was also featured in the comedy...

Did anyone see that movie, “Sinners”?

Amber @AmbiePam (110851) • United States 22 Jan

I think this movie came out this past summer and I know it starred Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld (who is married to NFL Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen). It was a box office hit, but I never saw it. I heard it was a...

Ali Canary I've been meaning to watch it! I think it's still on HBO. I need to plop myself down and watch. I like vampire movies, and the concept of twin vampires is pretty cool.

Trying a Healthier Breakfast Today

Curlann @annierose (21916) • United States 15 Jan

I’ve been feeling a bit insecure since moving to the USA because I gained some weight and my belly feels bigger. So today, I decided to watch what I eat. For breakfast, I skipped rice and had: 2 boiled eggs, warm water, bread...

Ali Canary That sounds like a good breakfast! Starchy rice is filling but not very nutritious. I don't eat much for breakfast, so maybe a stick of string cheese and a granola bar, or some plain oatmeal with berries and almonds.

My new Piggy Bank

Jimlos Tatooth @Ineeddentures (14536) 16 Jan

Even at the age of 65, I am finding that old habits do indeed die hard. Hence my latest Piggy Bank. It is infact a Cookie Tin which contained lovely Cookies we got from a nice neighbour for our Xmas. The Cookie Tin is a sort of...

What’s your Go-To?

Amber @AmbiePam (110851) • United States 16 Jan

I got a free pair of booties that keep my feet incredibly warm, and have grip on the bottom so they are perfect to wear around the house. While I have other socks, when it gets cold I head for those booties/socks. Growing up, I...

Ali Canary My husband ordered a bathrobe off Amazon and they sent the wrong size, so I got it instead. That thing is AMAZING. It's SO soft and plushy and I love it! Not only did he order another one for him (in the right size, this time), I ordered another one for ME in...

New Neighbors Are Moving In

DE @DaddyEvil (166234) • United States 13 Jan

I met the new neighbors yesterday. They're moving into the house the drug dealers lived in and seem like lovely people. I gave them my phone number in case they need anything. They were telling me that they had two smaller dogs...

Ali Canary If their dogs are small, they probably won't be a threat, but they might be noisy. Our next-door neighbors have two dogs that they mostly keep inside, but whenever they let the dogs out into the yard, they bark their heads off the whole time. It sounds like...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (211678) • United States 16 Jan

63 days until spring. It was a rough day yesterday. Meals on Wheels didn't show up; so I'm assuming they cancelled due to the bad weather. Got the drive plowed. I hope he doesn't come again today. Some parts of NE Ohio got...

Showering or taking a bath? What do you prefer?

Valentina @valherma00 (786) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 16 Jan

I usually shower every day. It's faster and i can feel warm water very directly or it's only in my mind. Still, if i don't forget, once a week, i like taking a bath and relaxing myself. I also add some sea salt, that i bought in...

Ali Canary Bathing is so relaxing, but I can't do it to clean myself, because then I'm just stewing in my dirt, right? So I usually take a shower. I like the way they do it in Japan - their bathrooms are set up so you can actually wash yourself in an open area and then...

Remembering 2025’s Losses: Dame Jane Goodall

Four Walls @FourWalls (82274) • United States 8 Jan

Pleasurable moments

Laura @Laurakemunto (13662) • Kenya 8 Jan

Some times we feel pleasured after an occurrence inside our bodies or externally for example, after showering. Basking on the beach with sea waves propelling, the smell of soil after some rain drops. What else makes you...

Ali Canary I like all of those things! I like the way the wind blows before a storm, the way it kind of curls around everything. Watching it rain or snow from a safe, cozy place is also really nice.
