Judy Evans @JudyEv (325818) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

About a week ago, my husband, Vince, quite suddenly lost almost all hearing in one ear. He cleaned out his ears then went to see a doctor. The only doctor we were able to see prescribed antibiotics and steroids in case there was...

In 1935 cane toads were introduced into Queensland from South America, in the hope of controlling cane beetles that were damaging sugar cane crops. However, they multiplied rapidly and have now spread across the whole top end of...

I Made a Minor Mistake

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (74569) • East Tawas, Michigan 23 Apr

No, I didn't have a fender bender! lol Instead, I made a doctor's appointment for my blood test. I have a new insurance, they only pay for blood work once a year. So, I have another six months to go, before these...

Another tragic selfie.

marguicha @marguicha (215470) • Chile 23 Apr

I just read that another woman was killed while she was trying to take a selfie near a volcano in Indonesia. The woman tripped on her too long pants and fell into the volcano in front of her husband. I accept that we are all a...

Fleur Killing anyone while not paying attention for whatever reason is a terrible thing. But people who die in silly ways while trying to get a good selfie... well I don't have that much sympathy.

Today would have been my dad’s 119th birthday. Eriks Raisters was a popular Latvian poet and writer born on April 23, 1905. This poem is dedicated to him. I could imagine his family in the country of Ranka, Latvia welcoming the...

Fleur I'm sorry you lost your Dad so young. Glad that you have good memories of him though; some people that age don't remember much which is such a shame.

Amber @AmbiePam (85514) • United States 23 Apr

Fleur Nowadays everyone gets sent home as soon as possible, no long convalescence in hospital! Apparently studies have shown that people recover more quickly if they are back home. And the way surgeons can rearrange things is quite magical. I'm sure he will feel...

What bird is this?

Sabrina Traversa @sabtraversa (12941) • Italy 23 Apr

As my short adventure led me next to a pond, I could see something that resembled a duck. I was too far to identify the species, so I zoomed in with my camera, clicked the button and thought of finding out as soon as I was back...

Fleur I have seen turtles here too, and we don't have any native turtles. You would think it would be too cold for them, but some obviously manage to survive.

So far the cats are not impressed with the new cat tower

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (116006) • United States 22 Apr

I've wanted to get one for my cats for years but they always were so expensive. I had an empty space in the bedroom near one of the windows that I thought would be perfect for one. I ordered it on Amazon and it was delivered...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (157555) • United States 21 Apr

I need more weekend in my week, just so I can rest one day and work one day and still have a day to get things done. After church today and lunch, Bob took a nap. I eventually tried to wrestle the cats out of the way so I could...

Fleur Funny you should say that. I have inherited a very old bottle of boiled linseed oil (from my Dad - and he's been dead ten years already). Currently it's just hanging around the kitchen while I try to work out what to use it for!

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38659) • Midland, Michigan 21 Apr
