It’s Finally Open

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 16h

After six years of being closed because they were too cheap to fix the pool equipment, our apartment complex pool is now open. I will be nowhere near it as that is where unsupervised children (which IS against the rules) yell...

Have you ever met someone who has to share their opinion on everything you do?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 23h

Oh, man. I think we all know people who have an opinion on everything, but it really only becomes annoying when they feel they need to share it with you. You say what you had for dinner, and they tell you why it wasn’t a good...

Do you ever get travel insurance?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 2 Jul

I was watching a video of a guy from Scotland who had been posting about how much he was enjoying America at the World Cup, and he had posted once about having to take his wife to the ER for food poisoning. He raved about the good...

I always felt sorry for them. Did you?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 2 Jul

It has to be years since I’ve been in an actual bookstore. The last one was probably the used bookstore I used to frequent called The Book Nook. But I’m thinking back to when I went to Borders or Waldenbooks (now defunct chain...

Do you have a code word?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 1 Jul

I called my bank to double check the balance in my account was what I thought it was. They asked my bank account or my Social Security number, they asked my driver’s license number, and then they they asked my code word. Code...

How much caffeine do you drink?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 1 Jul

I think a lot of you get your caffeine via coffee. I get mine via soda. And yes, I KNOW soda is not good for me. But I don’t have sugar in my diet otherwise. I don’t like sweets that much. I was wondering how much caffeine do you...

Eat chips!

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 30 Jun

Has anyone’s doctor ever told them that before? My doctor did. She was going over all my labs in a telehealth appointment, and she had previously had her nurse text me to get more salt in my diet. So her...

So long, Silk!

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 30 Jun

So I ordered groceries, and had them delivered yesterday morning. I thought they’d all been put up; that was at 7am. At 6:15pm I walked by my front door, and noticed a bag that had kind of fallen behind the credenza. Inside the...

They never knew they needed it.

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 30 Jun

When I visited New Zealand more than 20 years ago, I remember taking home a bottle of soda that I was told was exclusive to that country. I wanted something that was pretty much only found there, food wise. Turns out, it tasted...

Questions for Non Americans (Americans can chime in too)

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 29 Jun

I’ve been watching videos from Europeans who are in America for the World Cup, and it’s been so encouraging to see how much people are enjoying their time here, saying it is nothing like their news media portrays it. One guy was...

What can you pop?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 29 Jun

Your first answer might just be popcorn. But I was just walking, and my hip popped. I had felt a little pain, but it had been so long since I needed to pop them. This time, they just did it spontaneously. Yeah, I...

Two Cards

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 28 Jun

My dad loves funny cards, and when he gives me birthday cards, they are usually funny too. Incidentally, my mom’s were always sweet and caring. Anyway, the thing with him is that he never wrote in the cards. In his head, I might...

When is the last time you overslept for something?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 28 Jun

Well, it was my third straight week of making it to church, so I should have known I’d do something to get in the way. Unfortunately, it was oversleeping. I got there right as the sermon started, which is good because my dad was...

What progress!

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 25 Jun

My sister posted a picture of Hudson (my ten year old nephew) from when they took him in to last week, when he started his new school year. Can you believe the difference? It’s such a testament from where one starts to how far...

Five Tornadoes So Far Tonight

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 25 Jun

I’m looking at one that looks like an alien spaceship. So far, five tornadoes have touched down, and they’re showing them all on the news. None have hit my town, and I think I’m going to be safe tonight. Some of Oklahoma City is...

Apparently, I need to be more salty.

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 25 Jun

So I had blood tests done when I went in Tuesday, and I got a text from my doctor saying my sodium was low, and I needed to add more salt to my diet and drink something with electrolytes. So when I ordered my groceries, I bought...

A Happy Birthday Indeed

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 25 Jun

Today is my dad’s 71st birthday. I talked to him last night, and he and Diana are going to go somewhere, turn his phone off, and enjoy the day by themselves. He hates attention, and had more than enough last year when my sister...

Nutty

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 24 Jun

I love pecans, but cashews might be my favorite nut. I get so tired of peanuts although there is a time and a place where I have enjoyed them. Macadamia nuts in cookies are pretty good, but they tend to be greasy. Which is your...

Doctor Appointment

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 23 Jun

I had a doctor appointment this morning. I had lost some weight, which was nice, and then they took some blood for my three month follow up. It took just two tries this time for them to get a vein, but they had to go through my...

What do people get wrong about your country?

Amber @AmbiePam (122189) • United States 23 Jun

I was watching videos of Europeans experiencing America for the first time at the World Cup, not clips from the news, but real videos from attendees. One guy said if you go by European news you’d think if you came to America you’d...
