I got a reprieve from weighing myself this morning as I found the batteries in the scale dead. At least I think that is what it was. I can't remember the last time I changed them..so that is my first recourse. I have truly had...

Help! They're Shooting me!

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (46) • United States 8h

Well, they will be in about an hour. My first stop at 9:40 am is the orthopedic doctor to get a cortisone injection in my left knee. He gave me the shot in my right knee about 2 months ago and it was GREAT! It's like a brand...

Baconstripsxxx It sounds like you have a busy but productive day ahead. I'm glad the cortisone injection worked so well in your right knee, and I hope you get the same relief in your left. Having both knees feeling better before a trip that involves lots of walking should...

Baconstripsxxx Now that sounds like a great way to use leftovers! I actually think curry tastes even better the next day after all the spices have had time to blend together. Pairing it with chips is a classic comfort meal.

Baconstripsxxx It sounds like a nice, relaxing day. Sometimes it's just enjoyable to wander around a city center, people-watch, and stop for a good cup of coffee. I'm glad Yvonne found a new jacket too!

Especially for Women

Amber @AmbiePam (123318) • United States 10h

I know, a lot of ladies here are familiar with these warnings/tips, but it never hurts to refresh your memory. Women! You cannot be too careful. While of course both genders need to be cautious, women are especially targeted, and...

Baconstripsxxx These are all excellent reminders. The biggest one, in my opinion, is trusting your instincts. If something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, there's no harm in being cautious. It's always better to err on the side of safety than to ignore that feeling...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385169) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Jul

On Saturday, Vince and I went to a quiz night at the clubhouse. We hadn’t intended to go but our friends had double-booked themselves so we said we’d go in their place. Vince always takes photos of the people at the tables and...

Baconstripsxxx It sounds like you ended up having a fun evening even if it wasn't part of the original plan. Quiz nights are always more about the laughs and teamwork than where you finish on the scoreboard.

Lost boy found

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13340) • United States 22 Jul

About a month ago, I posted about how a local kid went missing. There were no known leads; he just up and disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he was or where he was going apart from what he originally told people. He...

Baconstripsxxx I'm so glad to hear he was found safe. After being missing for that long, the most important thing is that he's alive and back with his family.

Had a Weird Dream

celticeagle @celticeagle (191656) • Boise, Idaho 22 Jul

It got me to thinking. How many chemicals we come into contact with daily. Now days there are chemicals in everything. Even fresh food needs to be washed. There are chemicals in the laundry soap, laundry accessories, shampoo,...

Baconstripsxxx It really is surprising when you stop and think about it. We come into contact with countless chemicals every day, often without even realizing it. From the products we use to clean our homes to the food we eat and the clothes we wear, modern life is full of...

I Nearly Drowned When I Was 11

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (46) • United States 22 Jul

Talking about the fatal drowning of 5 people in Ohio made me remember my near drowning experience I was at a Girl Scout camp. Just for the day — not overnight. My two best friends wanted us to jump off the diving board into the...

Baconstripsxxx That must have been terrifying, and it really shows how quickly a person can get into serious trouble in the water. A lot of people think drowning always involves lots of splashing and yelling, but in reality it can be surprisingly quiet and happen in just a...

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I didn't title this review of Plant Nursery Simulator because I am not really giving a review of the game. I am more just sharing some thoughts on it. Maybe eventually I can do a full on...

Wouldn't You Have Figured Out To Not Jump In The Water After the Second or Third Person was Drowning?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (46) • United States 21 Jul

Hair of the Dawg plays a gig out in Isleton this afternoon. Isleton is an interesting small town. It used to be a hub for Chinese-Americans, who were largely responsible for building the levees that serve the farming community in...

Baconstripsxxx That sounds like a fun way to spend a Sunday! Isleton has such an interesting history, and it's always neat when a town has managed to preserve some of its unique character. The venue sounds like it has plenty of personality too.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385169) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Jul

Here is another photo from the training sailing ship, Leeuwin. Leeuwin is Dutch for lioness and it’s an 1850’s style barquentine rigging with three masts. The foremast is square-rigged if that mean anything to you. It was built...

What the heck happened to my pill case?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127419) • United States 21 Jul

Baconstripsxxx That is really strange! I've never heard of pills just breaking down like that while sitting on the counter. I wonder if there was some moisture or humidity that somehow got into the pill organizer, because that's the only thing I can think of.

Baconstripsxxx It sounds like the gig was a big success! There's nothing quite like playing to a packed, enthusiastic crowd, and it must have felt especially rewarding when people requested Pancho and Lefty. That says a lot about how much they enjoy hearing you perform it.
