RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90397) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Jul

This shirt has had to go in the bin

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364831) • Rockingham, Australia 18 May

The photo is an old one but it’s the only one I can find where I am wearing this particular shirt. I’ve had this for many years and it used to have a skirt that matched. It’s become the shirt I wear for handyman/woman/person jobs...

DE @DaddyEvil (160579) • United States 24 Apr

It has been raining off and on all day but started storming about half an hour ago, then the lights started flickering. We're on the same circuit as the hospital at this house so I hope we don't lose power. We've lost power...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (166219) • United States 12 Apr

This bird bath was just seated on soil, and it was on a slope. Something knocked it over recently so I decided to put flat bricks under it to level it. I got even smarter and put the bricks up on the non-functioning water meter....

Ronin the Mighty Rat

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90397) • Daytona Beach, Florida 12 Apr

Even though there are people who don't care for rats this one named Ronin has proved he is a rat to like. He is part of a landmine-sniffing rat pack. Ronin is an African giant pouch rat and I think he is rather handsome. Ronin...
