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 @porwest Pennies are not in circulation here. About 10 years ago Canadians could bring their caches of pennies to the bank and have them credited to their accounts or been given the equivalent in cash. I've kept a few in my wallet, just so I could say "I'm not...

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.

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...

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...

While I was in California, I noticed they did something they didn’t do when I lived there as a child. Now, I knew they did it, but I hadn’t seen it. It was at fast food places where the trash was. One can was for trash, and one...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

BarBaraPrz I don't have one of those but I do have one of those wooden beads on a string type back massager that you kinda use like a towel to dry your back... it works for me, anyway. (Not exactly like this one)

Mine just dropped another leaf... my cousin Benny just died, complications from pneumonia. I'm not sure how old he was, in his 50s anyway. He had 3 or 4 kids. You can tell we weren't close, but he was very likeable.
