An extra cake for Diego.

marguicha @marguicha (219973) • Chile 21h

I asked for extra groceries for Diego. He asked me if he could stay here for 5 days. And upon my suggestion, he messaged Daniel asking him to come for a visit here instead of meeting somewhere else. Diego was happy although...

How do you feel about kids in general?

Amber @AmbiePam (88950) • United States 18h

A lot of people don’t like children, and some of that is because they don’t have any so they don’t understand. (They also might be around them all the time and become overwhelmed). Don’t get me wrong, parents have a responsibility...

Fleur It's funny how we sometimes talk about 'kids' as if they are a separate species, not like us. The same goes for pensioners/seniors/old people, and also teenagers. They tend to get lumped together as if they were all the same. First, they are not all the same...

Ceruse

LouAvul @LouAvul (57) 17h

What is ceruse? I had no clue. The bot in Words with Friends played this word today. I had to look it up. Ceruse is an archaic term for white lead. Venetian ceruse was a 16th-century cosmetic used as a skin whitener. Can you...

Eating Fat Doesn't Make You Fat

LouAvul @LouAvul (57) 17h

Some of you poke fun of my high-protein low-carb diet that does include some fatty foods like bacon. I just watched an AARP Video titled "Eating Fat Doesn't Make You Fat" and read several articles about the same premise. Fat is...

Today's trip to the little Tesco. (10/9/2024)

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (27415) • Lichfield, England 10 Sep

I've just been to the little Tesco again. I didn't need to get much. I looked at my weather app before I went, and it said 51% chance of rain, and it had a symbol of a cloud with raindrops falling from it at 10:00am. So I decided...

I Over Did It Sunday

popciclecold @popciclecold (37984) • United States 10 Sep

Sunday I overdid it. Monday, I was so tired it wasn't funny. We had mission meeting last night, and I was totally exhausted. It was nice to visit, but I was so tired. I know I've learned my limitations, that was much to much for...

Sad News in Hollywood

celticeagle @celticeagle (164132) • Boise, Idaho 10 Sep

I was saddened to hear that the great James Earl Jones passed away yesterday at the age of 93. He was famous for doing the voice of Darth Vador and Lion King. I love a man with a deep voice and he had one in spades. What a lovely...

Update on the Porch Pooper

LouAvul @LouAvul (57) 9 Sep

I wrote a post about a week and a half ago about a young man in Louisville, KY who was pooping on somebody's front porch multiple times. I had speculated that he might be mentally challenged. Well they've figured out who the...

Oh I am pissed off

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (118579) • United States 9 Sep

Many years ago my parents decided to move my paternal grandparents from their large home to a smaller one in a local retirement community. Being an Italian family we all just chip in to get jobs like that done. It must have been...

Most of us have humdrum bathroom etiquette, but not our Doreen.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (12787) • Ireland 9 Sep

My wife’s friend Doreen's bathroom is as well organised as the rest of her meticulous life though you don't realise until you're sat down on the potty. There, right in front of you, just 18 inches in front of your face, are seven...

Cherries - a sheer waste

Always smiling @allknowing (132343) • India 9 Sep

Seven Feathers.

Judy Story @jstory07 (137513) • Roseburg, Oregon 9 Sep

We drove up to Seven Feathers today. We did not go to gamble. We went swimming in their over size pool. A friend invited us there to swim and eat at the sea food buffett. They had all the crab legs that you can eat. Which...

Eggs are Getting Ridiculous Again

Jim Bauer @porwest (85507) • United States 9 Sep

I was able to pick up a dozen eggs at Ruler Foods on Saturday for $1.89 a dozen, which is not good, but it's been "about normal" lately. Since there were some items Ruler was either wrongly priced on or out of, I decided to stop...

Fleur Food prices here (at least in supermarkets) are not a realistic reflection of the production costs. Farmers are going out of business as they can't cover their costs and before we know it we are going to be totally screwed!

Feet, Glorious Feet

Do I really need a bra for the elderly?

The Horse @TheHorse (214189) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Sep
