Sayings about the seasons

Judy Evans @JudyEv (352624) • Rockingham, Australia 8 May

I came across these sayings about the seasons and thought I’d share them. I certainly don’t believe all of them but some I’ve heard before. Summer If it rains on a full moon, it’s going to be a wet month. Spider webs in the...

BarBaraPrz Haven't heard any of them, especially the kookaburra one (we don't have them here). No sayings for spring?

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 54 degrees F and clear here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 76 but we are expecting a thunderstorm so mixed bag. I have work today as usual. I need to make...

BarBaraPrz OK, let's try this again... It's only 7°C/45°F, not sunny, and only supposed to get to 11°C/52°F. So no gardening today. But that's ok as Juanita should be here any minute now and we'll go off to the Centre for a couple hours. The first time I answered, it...

A whole new level of generic

Fleur @Fleura (31595) • United Kingdom 8 May

I often browse on Ebay when I’m looking for something, just in case someone happens to be selling the thing I want, especially if it’s nearby. Today I thought I would have a look in case anyone is selling an office chair. Our...

Civil Disobedience at a Class Reunion?

The Horse @TheHorse (226212) • Walnut Creek, California 7 May

I can't believe it's May again. It feels like yesterday that I was at my high school class reunion in Chicago. It was in May 2024. I hung out the most with my buddy, Allen, now a labor lawyer in Washington DC. But I got to yap...

Black smoke at the Vatican

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122714) • United States 7 May

Black smoke was just seen billowing from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. That means that the first round of voting for a new pope has occurred and no one received the required 2/3 majority. It is estimated that 30,000 people...

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday

JD Vance's brother got spanked in the primary for Cincinnati mayor yesterday

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122714) • United States 7 May

I guess Cory Bowman thought that he would do well since his brother JD is currently the VP of the US. The city's (and maybe it is statewide) primary has members of all parties run in one primary and the top 2 recipients of votes...

Hello, all! I don't know why exactly, but the bus that stopped for me at the bus stop today was the one that usually takes kids to the high school and the "fake" Junior High. I say "fake" because they call the school by the same...

Uno spent the afternoon with us

Judy Evans @JudyEv (352624) • Rockingham, Australia 7 May

The photo shows the cat from over the back fence. His name is Uno. His owner works away week-in, week-out and when he is away, Uno gets lonely and comes to visit. He is more friendly than the two resident cats which we hardly ever...

BarBaraPrz Uno is quite handsome and reminds me of a 1950s teenager, sitting upside down on a couch with their feet up on the backrest. But to complete the image, he should be holding a phone up to his ear. (Yes, I'm not right in the head. )

BarBaraPrz It's gone up a degree to 11°C/52°F and the sun is breaking through, so I'll be working on the front yard (if the clouds don't leak). With luck, it'll reach the predicted high of 19°C/67°F.

More Holes in our Yard

DE @DaddyEvil (147453) • United States 5 May

So far, the city utilities have dug 4 holes in our yard to check on the various pipes and wires running to the house. When they get done, they put the topsoil at the bottom of the hole and pile clay and rocks on top. I keep...

BarBaraPrz DEI hires? I'd be out there making sure they put the rocks in first, then put in fresh soil and sod. And probably holding a shovel or pitchfork, too. (I had to give up my axe, just have a little hatchet now).

Off to pee in a bottle today. What drugs have you taken recently?

The Horse @TheHorse (226212) • Walnut Creek, California 5 May

My Dr. has me pee in a bottle every six months or so. I suppose it's because I take Vicodin for my lower back pain. Vicodin contains a small amount of codeine, and codeine is a controlled substance. It binds with the same receptor...

BarBaraPrz At least, you can aim your pee... not like us gals who have to hope we hold the little bottle in the right spot and get enough in it without peeing all over our hands.
