Do you ever?

Judy Story @jstory07 (143940) • Roseburg, Oregon 5 May

Do you like to drive around just to see decorations in other people's yards. I like to do that just to see what is new in their yard. Do you ever read the labels on food products to see what is in the product. I do that...

Still No Internet

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52359) • United States 30 Apr

Yesterday was quite warm here. I think we reached about 79 F under partially sunny skies. No rain, or anything like that. How is the weather where you live? I see little sunflower sprouts coming up on my balcony. Maybe I'll get...

Lights are Flickering...

DE @DaddyEvil (147974) • 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...
