Music Obituaries: June 2026

Four Walls @FourWalls (87762) • United States 13 Jul

It is time to pause and think back to the month of June and salute the music individuals who passed away that month. I do this every month for two reasons. One, music is my primary interest, so I feel compelled to thank these...

Is mint the answer?

Fleur @Fleura (35783) • United Kingdom 13 Jul

We had a few ants coming into the kitchen and although there weren’t very many and they were not really a problem, I was concerned it would get worse. Generally once one ant finds something interesting they leave a trail and all...

I think the raccoons did it.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (170134) • United States 11 Jul

The bird feeder, and its suction cups, are no longer on our window. I have found all the pieces, but I think the raccoons tried to climb into it. Bob and I knew we need another type of feeder and he was up way early for him (7:00...

Lindsey Graham has died at 71

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127385) • United States 12 Jul

Whoa. Didn't see this one coming. I would have thought Trump or Mitch McConnell would pass first. He was a Republican senator from South Carolina who served 4 terms in the Senate. Initially when Trump ran for office Graham was...

I Took a Helluva Fall

Jim Bauer @porwest (113636) • United States 12 Jul

If you were aware from an earlier post, the front left tire on my riding mower blew, and I finally replaced it yesterday. Turned out to be about a 20-minute project, which was nice. I honestly thought I'd run into a hiccup, but...

A way to save paper - write criss-cross letters

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385003) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Jul

The title is tongue in cheek. I'm not advocating it for today's letter-writers. A story which caught my eye today was about criss-cross letters. Criss-cross letters, also known as cross-hatching or cross-writing, were common...

How long do you spend on housework?

Fleur @Fleura (35783) • United Kingdom 11 Jul

I once complained that vacuuming the entire house took me three hours (and made me really mad, because I was convinced the vacuum cleaner had a personal vendetta against me), so my partner said from now on he would do it. I was...

Got sick after huge rain

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52693) • Philippines 9 Jul
