It takes very little to ruin a mood.

Shays_Creations Greeting Cards @sharon6345 (178387) • United States 3h

There are times when we have a wonderful day or evening. Then out of nowhere, something ruins the good mood. It can be something minor like burning your meal. One of the things can ruin a mood is getting bad...

We had our annual meeting for the development last week. I brought up bear since one night I heard guttural noises which I surmised could have been a bear. One of my neighbors said he had seen one run into the woods off the main...

I Married a Super Hero

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (1349) 1h

Webster's Dictionary defines a super hero as "a benevolent fictional character with super human powers". Well, obviously, my husband is not fictional. He doesn't have super human powers, but he is a super hero to me. Benevolent...

I am quite disgusted

Shays_Creations Greeting Cards @sharon6345 (178387) • United States 1h

I am trying to use my Redlobster gift cards for delivery. They are asking for 17 numbers on the website but the card only has 16 numbers. How on earth could that happen? I have to leave it alone since there is no...

Scotland's national dish

Bill McAlpine @ScotMac (20) • Edinburgh, Scotland 2h

You may or may not have heard of Scotland's national dish. Traditionally eaten on Burn's Night, it's called the Haggis and, for historical reasons we need not go into here, many people believe it's a total myth - a ploy to attract...

They Make Me Want To Scream !

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (30671) • United States 2h

I have no room in my life for unreliable people. They seem to be in their own little world and think that everything revolves around them. If I say that I will do something or be somewhere you can count on it. Why do I encounter...

A Late Morning

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (156323) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 6h

I went to bed late last night, at 11 p.m., so it's no surprise I woke up late. It was after six when I got up this morning, took my shower, and settled down here for the Daily Bible Study. As soon as I got that posted, I was out...

Good Afternoon

Good afternoon everyone! I've been kind of MIA over the last week or so. I was having a bad flare with my fibromyalgia and neuropathy. We had almost 5 days of straight rain which made everything worse. I am a lot better now and I...

That Soggy Paper Straw Was So Frustrating

Deborah K. Mitchell @Corbin5 (144997) • United States 5h

As kids, we really loved the sour/sweet candy, in powder form, that was encased in a paper wrapper that looked like a drinking straw. The eater of a Pixy Stix was supposed to tear open one end of the made-of-paper Pixy...
