Last time I did a big supermarket shop, I went to buy some chocolate and found that their own-brand chocolate bars (which are what we usually buy for use in cooking and also general nibbling) were half price. So naturally I bought...

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69656) • Centralia, Washington 1 Aug

Belle Starr (Iz) I'm at a loss as to why a nurse makes appointments and why appointments for after the doctor returns can't be made. This is a very strange medical practice!!

Valentina @valherma00 (4963) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 30 Jul

This happened yesterday. I would expect this in a wild but not in a captivity but i guess it can happen too. The zoo authorities will investigate what happened between 2 African lions who were peacefully living for 3 weeks and...

I Spent Eleven Dollars

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (138927) • Marion, Ohio 31 Jul

3.50 was for a 10 pound bag of potatoes. Cant beat that price for them. The other 7.50 was for this pile of water toys and floaties. I kept the 3 beach balls and the kiddie pools. I also kept some big floaties to sit little kids...

What do you think about paternity leave?

Amber @AmbiePam (124917) • United States 29 Jul

In America, standard maternity leave is six weeks. Of course, it varies for certain jobs, and I’m sure some companies are much more generous. It’s only fairly “recent” (25 years?) that paternity leave has become more common....

Belle Starr (Iz) I am a soft touch when it comes to vintage things. I have two spooners on Kasey's counter here and a beautiful vintage sugar spoon in the sugar bowl. I try not to to bring too many of my treasures out but these came up in the boxes from Florida.
