Trump is certainly doing a number on the Kennedy Center

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125709) • United States 21h

As they say. . . everything Trump touches dies. #ETTD Never fails! He fired the Board of Directors and installed his MAGA stooges in their place. He publicly mused about calling it the "Trump-Kennedy Center" and SHOCKER they...

Do you have one of these in your region?

Amber @AmbiePam (108951) • United States 21h

Well, it’s not a pleasant topic, but snowy and I were talking in her discussion the other day, and it led to me mentioning in my state (Oklahoma) there is a serial killer that struck the city of Lawton that has never been caught....

BarBaraPrz Most likely. I know there are a lot of murdered or missing women, especially native ones, in the country.

The Results of My Ugly Christmas Sweater

Amber @AmbiePam (108951) • United States 28 Dec

So, weeks ago (so why would you remember) I talked about this long sleeved “ugly” Christmas shirt I got free. At first glance, I thought, this isn’t ugly, it’s borderline cute. But then I REALLY took a look, and it is indeed...

BarBaraPrz No, I don't see the point of "ugly Christmas sweaters". I also don't see a picture of your sweater to know if it is ugly or cute.

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125709) • United States 28 Dec

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 25 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is just 43. Ugh. I hate winter! Bring on the summer. I was up in the middle of the night so got up...

BarBaraPrz Currently -1°C, with periods of (possibly freezing) rain. Yup, I ain't goin' nowhere, neither, especially as I had trouble sleeping last night and didn't get up until almost 10. Juanita was planning on coming down today but the weather forecast scared her, so...

It's a Load of Hooey

Jim Bauer @porwest (111779) • United States 28 Dec

All of a sudden I am encountering signs everywhere I go telling me that there is a nationwide penny shortage, and businesses are already rounding or want exact change. Let me be very clear here: [b]there is NO penny shortage...

BarBaraPrz Penny for your thoughts, to put in your penny loafers. Canada ceased production of their penny (excuse me, it's official name was one-cent coin) and so far our economy hasn't collapsed... even though penny candy now costs upwards of 5 cents a piece and stores...

Boogie Down (Linda): Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu

Four Walls @FourWalls (81345) • United States 28 Dec

But of course! There are some songs that just cannot be ignored in a countdown, and when it comes to songs with “boogie” in the title, this is one of them. While it was a hit in the 70s, I’m going back to the original version for...

The Calendar Event.

celticeagle @celticeagle (183720) • Boise, Idaho 26 Dec

When I was a small child and living at my grandparent's place, I remember having the Union Pacific Railroad wall calendar pictures hung around the house. It was an annual thing that my grandmother would get a new calendar, and it...

What was the last thing you sold, or are you trying to sell anything?

Amber @AmbiePam (108951) • United States 27 Dec

Amber @AmbiePam (108951) • United States 27 Dec

Lady bugs to the rescue

Is X a Scam?

Jim Bauer @porwest (111779) • United States 27 Dec

I don't use X all that much. But here's the thing. I have 3,747 followers, so you would think if I posted something there, at least someone who follows me would see my posts. The reality? Hardly anyone sees my posts. I am...

BarBaraPrz I signed up to Twitter, not X. It didn't seem worthwhile back then, I rarely posted anything, so I don't know if I still have an account, let alone any followers.

Do you keep things that are functional, but imperfect?

Amber @AmbiePam (108951) • United States 27 Dec

So I have this ottoman, and the top comes off for storage (it’s not a huge one at all or I wouldn’t want it). I got it for free, but there was a slit in the side, like a two inch, precise slice. I might not have noticed it, but I...

BarBaraPrz If the slice is only 2 inches and barely noticeable, it should be easy enough to mend. Just slip some tape under it.

A Boring Christmas?

Jim Bauer @porwest (111779) • United States 26 Dec

A boring Christmas day? Well, I guess it depends on how one defines that. We have our actual Christmas gathering with the fam, which we will be hosting at our house, on the 10th of January, so yesterday was just a "regular" day...

BarBaraPrz Is it dead, Jim? I mostly nibbled on lobster mousse on Paris toasts, and a bunch of candy. When you live alone, you can have whatever you want for Christmas dinner. Was gonna have a beer, too, but somehow forgot.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125709) • United States 23 Dec
