What a difference an extra fan makes.

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 7h

So, I mentioned the other day my air conditioning is on the fritz. In Oklahoma this time of year it is hot, humid, and disgustingly muggy. I have a fan, but it wasn’t doing much. I borrowed my dad’s, which he told me just to keep,...

Just a Wonderful Day (so far)

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 17 May

I got to go to church this morning, and it was great. They were so many people I had to park on the side of the parking lot, which I normally never have to do. They honored all the high school and college graduates this morning,...

What’s the last rabbit hole you went down?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 17 May

I started looking up two people who had gone missing 20 years ago, and who had recently been found in a submerged car in the lake. That sent me down a rabbit hole of disappearances, including famous ones, and people who had been...

So Refreshing

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 16 May

I had cantaloupe for breakfast this morning, and it was wonderful! I absolutely love most melons, and cantaloupe is my favorite! I love honeydew as well, and, of course, watermelon, but cantaloupe had much less sugar so I eat it...

How do you beat the heat (and humidity)?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 15 May

It’s hot, no kidding. I don’t want anything touching me it’s so hot (try telling that to my dog; I don’t try). My air conditioning is messed up so it doesn’t kick on long enough for my liking (they are supposed to look at it next...

Do you appreciate the weird?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 14 May

I like weird or unusual things, and you might have noticed that about me. What I love about some of you is that you appreciate weird too. Is there something you’d like to go see that is weird or unusual? I’d love to visit the...

What is your (actual) view?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 14 May

I have a surprisingly pretty view, which is one of the few (only?) things I like about where I live. I face the woods, with big trees and very pretty greenery. This picture is from the top of Coronado Heights Castle, in Kansas...

Is this a Southern thing?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 13 May

Have you ever put salt on watermelon? I mentioned this a few years ago, and Mylotter’s recent discussion reminded me of it. Don’t get me wrong, good watermelon is fine on its own. And you only SPRINKLE it over the watermelon. But...

What was the last museum you visited?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 13 May

There were only a few museums I liked in my childhood, but that’s probably because kids just don’t get into that. I loved the Science Museum though. It was just so fascinating! It had so many cool things, and now my sister’s kids...

Do you like murals?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 12 May

My sister, her husband, and the kids set out for Topeka, Kansas today for a school road trip. One of the places they visited was the Brown vs. Board of Education National Historical Park. They visited the museum, but I really like...

Wordle

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 11 May

I don’t play Wordle, but I’ve read many Mylotters mention they have. I just read they announced Savannah Guthrie is going to be the host of the new game show, a TV version of Wordle. Knowing how crazy popular that game is, I...

Thankful Today

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 11 May

I am so thankful for so many things today. Do you feel like naming some yourself? I am thankful my stepmom’s son-in-law is walking, sitting in a chair and drinking coffee after his quadruple bypass last Wednesday. I’m thankful I...

Does anyone care about the World Cup?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 10 May

Soccer (football to the rest of the world) is not that popular in America, although it grows, especially in youth leagues each year. But people love to cheer for their own country, so even here the World Cup is well watched. It...

Did/do you play instruments?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 10 May

My mom (pictured) was such a good piano player, and also played the organ. I don’t know if people even play the organ anymore. My grandmother played both so I guess she taught my mom. My sister plays the piano and flute. I...

I shouldn’t have said anything.

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 9 May

Last night I shouldn’t have vocalized my fear that my electricity would go out. Although to be fair, it didn’t go out until an hour after the storm was over. That was about 8:15pm. Around 8:40pm I was headed to my dad and...

What’s on tap for your weather weekend?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 8 May

Well, my favorite (least obnoxious) news channel has let our weatherman take over the network, and has for quite awhile. They’re letting me know by the minute the storm will hit our town, isn’t that nice? We’ve apparently got five...

Why do you have a pet? Or, why don’t you?

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 8 May

I have loved animals, especially dogs, since I was a child. As much as my parents didn’t particularly desire a dog, they grew to love my dogs too (my mom made a dog friendly cake for Charlie, my dad tried to get Sherlock to nap...

Her Son-in-Law

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 7 May

So, I really appreciate those of you who prayed for my stepmom’s son-in-law. They finally said he was well enough to have his quadruple bypass heart surgery yesterday afternoon. My dad texted me around 8:50pm last night to let me...

Her Place Now

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 6 May

So my friend finally sent me pictures of her new house and land, and she sounded better today than the day prior. There’s a detached garage at the back. She will have to install a storm shelter (her last place had one), and she...

Death Doula

Amber @AmbiePam (119396) • United States 5 May

Have you ever heard of a death doula? I think I had, but until my cousin (pictured) announced she was close to getting certified, I didn’t really look into it. This cousin is the youngest daughter of my late awful, terrible uncle....
