Trump's approval rating as president is at its lowest point ever

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125085) • United States 29 Oct

It is lower than it ever was in his first term and at its lowest point for this disastrous second term too. And yet that maniac gave a wildly inappropriate political speech to US troops in Asia saying that his numbers were higher...

Candles

Judy Story @jstory07 (146227) • Roseburg, Oregon 23h

Did you know that candles have been around for 5000 years. They were used in Egypt and Rome. When America started making candles they used wax for the first time. Than in 1825 a candle making machine was invented. That...

BarBaraPrz Yup. I'm burning two candles (tea lights actually) right now to "warm up" the place... I'm too cheap to turn up the furnace and I have a million candles I've gotten over the years for free or cheap.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson throws cold water on the idea of Trump serving a 3rd term

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125085) • United States 28 Oct

I have to say that I'm surprised because he seems to have about as much of a backbone as jellyfish Mitch McConnell, Tommy Tuberville, and James Comer. Johnson was a constitutional lawyer--who knew--and he is saying that he spoke...

Amber @AmbiePam (105194) • United States 28 Oct

I Use Dead Batteries

Jim Bauer @porwest (110238) • United States 28 Oct

For whatever reason, we tend to use a lot of AA batteries. The remotes take them, and they are used for other things, even in a couple of our clocks. There are a couple in our thermostat. When they are "dead," I keep them instead...

Who Else Loves Breakfast for Dinner?

Diane Foster @DianeScorpio (21) • Nottingham, England 26 Oct

Be honest: do you ever skip the “proper” dinner and make breakfast instead? I’m talking eggs on toast, pancakes, a full fry-up, or beans and hash browns at 7 p.m. If you’re a fan, what’s your go-to plate and why does it hit the...
