The MegaMillions jackpot is up to $900 million. Will you be buying one of their expensive tickets ($5)? I won't. This might be the last gravel man post. He will be coming over most likely on Friday and bringing a pizza. He...

Instrumentally Yours: Music to Watch Girls By

Four Walls @FourWalls (80583) • United States 8 Nov

Yes, I’m up too early. I’m meeting a friend to celebrate his birthday in an hour or so, so it’s going to be a busy day. But first, you get “tortured” with music. Here’s an instrumental you probably heard if you’re of a certain...

Dena Miller I never have like diet Pepsi, or diet soda in general. At first, I thought the same thing about this song but as I continued to listen to it, it sort of brought back memories of my childhood. And by the time it was finished, I thought it to be better than a...

So who's ready for snow?

snowy @snowy22315 (199363) • United States 8 Nov

I was just looking at the snow potential for our area with the cold weather that is coming in starting Sunday night. I wouldn't mind a few flurries here at all, but it looks like we will be getting rain here, with the possibility...

Dena Miller Our mountains are expecting to get some good snow from this front. The snow line comes to two of our surrounding counties. Hopefully we will see a flurry or two. We will be very cold, down in the low 20s to upper teens.

Nobody Asked For This

Amber @AmbiePam (107328) • United States 8 Nov

What am I talking about? The Mountain Dew Baja Blast Chiller Pie (with Graham cracker crust). I guess Taco Bell carries unique flavors of Mountain Dew, and after teasing it last year they released an official pie in Southern...

Dena Miller I read about this earlier today. I do not like mountain dew anything so I am not sure that I would like the pie, especially at $20.00. I've never had key lime pie.

Very strange.

Judy Story @jstory07 (146717) • Roseburg, Oregon 8 Nov

The light bulb in the stove burned out. So I took it out and went to the store to buy another light bulb for the stove. I got a small light bulb that said appliances right on the package. Took the light bulb home and put it in...

Dena Miller The light above our sink went out about 1-2 months ago. When trying to take it out it broke. We had to cut a potato to get it all out. These newer type lights don't last as long as they claim and are made very flimsy.

Chewed out by my boss twice at work today.

The Horse @TheHorse (232607) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Nov

A few years ago, I wrote a piece here about how I prefer working for male bosses over female bosses. I could be totally wrong, but my sense is that female bosses are more likely than male bosses to "get you" for the "small stuff,"...

Well, So Much for Ollie's on that One

Jim Bauer @porwest (111515) • United States 8 Nov

How do you lose Porwest's business on something? Simply hike the price and price yourself out of my market and that's it. You're out. Now, this is not at all a complaint against Ollie's. I love the store, and there's plenty...

Fewer and fewer dairy farms in Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (366289) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Nov

I’m still stymied when it comes to adding a photo but this one doesn’t rely on images for whatever impact it might have. An interesting article on our news last night informed us that Western Australia has less than 100 dairy...

Dena Miller It's sad to see smaller dairy farmers being sold off. I understand progress and technology, that they can be beneficial, but at the expense of taking peoples livelihoods away, that's just wrong, no matter what the job is.

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44222) • United States 8 Nov

Do you buy smoothies? Do you make your own? I've never bought one, but I love making them. I'm drinking one right now. I have blueberries in the freezer which are really good for you. I added a banana, strawberry yogurt, and a...
