How high is your gas today? Are you feeling pain at the pump?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (57703) 28 Apr

Ours sure did shoot up today! . We are now at $4.49. To me, that's a LOT. To fill my small SUV, and yes, it is small, it's $60+ if it's empty. I know some of you drive huge vehicles and that probably seems cheap to you....

DianneN Would you believe I have never ever filled any of my cars myself? Growing up the car was filled by the gas station attendant. Now there are none that I know of, except in New Jersey. Hubs always fills the cars for me. Twice, I was in a pinch and asked...

The Sun Is Taking Its Time.

rakski @rakski (152719) • Philippines 27 Apr

Or did I speak too soon? It is now 7:52 in the morning and the sun is still hiding in the clouds, which I like very much. The light feels softer this way, and the air is gentler compared to those mornings when the heat arrives...

DianneN I hope you continued to enjoy your day. I hate to say it, but it’s been absolutely sunny and temperate all day with a lovely breeze off the water. Sad that it will end soon.

The second coincidence

Fleur @Fleura (34655) • United Kingdom 27 Apr

Last week I was working at an event where we were at the registration desk most of the time and nearby was a drink kiosk. I chatted briefly with the man running that (Tom); he told me he was from the south coast but was staying...

Why would you go back?

Toni @toniganzon (76845) • Philippines 28 Apr

I always remind myself never to go back to that place where I lost my smile. The place doesn't literally mean a place but it could be a situation or a person. Why would I? It's not easy to break free from a situation that...

DianneN I can’t remember everything right now, but I visited our friend in rehab, because I don’t think I will ever see him again. He’s so very ill. I made sure to kiss him goodbye.

What Sounds Soothe You?

Jehanne @Jehanne (1144) 28 Apr

After a long day from work, I like to walk alone. Slow no rush, enjoying the quiet moments, noticing every little sounds of gentle wind, buzzing of insects and chirping of birds. I like the birds chirps in chorus, that sounds...

DianneN I love the sound of birds, too. I also love the sound of my grandchildren laughing, the waves here, my fountains gurgling, the rustling of the leaves in the trees, rain on the roof (sky lights) and a kitty cat purring.

Four Walls @FourWalls (85545) • United States 28 Apr

Ah-HA, you say. NOW you see right through me. No, not really. It’s not my fault that this gem is now 60 years old. It is my fault, though, that I’ll stick this guy in a countdown anytime I can. And, since we’re...

We had a crazy, wild storm.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (57703) 27 Apr

But....we are OK. I can't see any damage much as all the street lights are either out, or they have broken bulbs. And there is literally stuff all over the place that has blown in from who knows where--trash, yard ornaments,...

DianneN Thank goodness you are okay. I feel horrible for those affected and for the poor geese. We had a horrible storm about a month ago. I haven’t seen Orville the osprey since then, which breaks my heart. Actually, we haven’t seen any of the birds we normally...

We've scored ourselves a workbench

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378769) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Apr

When we moved here from our 15 acres, we had to downsize in a big way. Recently, someone in the village was offering a free workbench so we were quick to offer to take it off their hands. It was a bit tatty and the top was...

DianneN You made it look brand new. Hubs has a workroom up north which is his workshop. He loves puttering around in it, and I am going to keep him happy building things for my garden if our son hasn’t “borrowed” everything.

1956 Top Ten: I Take the Chance (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (85545) • United States 28 Apr

No, I wasn’t born in 1956. The great thing about art is that you don’t have to be around when it was created to appreciate it. My niece is a huge Shakespeare fan, for instance. So it’s nothing to love a song that’s 70 years old...

I have just ordered an air rewards credit card

snowy @snowy22315 (206703) • United States 28 Apr

It is a good deal, with no zero interest for 15 months, and no annual fee. Most travel rewards cards attach a high annual fee. It also has 20,000 air miles awarded after 500 dollars in purchases. I am going to try knocking that...
