I'm Addicted to Walgreens

Lou Avul @LouAvul (2176) 16h

Walgreens really knows how to get me to keep coming back and buying things. They generate random register coupons, you're not always guaranteed one, offering you bonus rewards for future purchases. In this case I'll earn $9 if I...

Four Walls I’m too poor to shop at Walgreen’s. I understand it: they have dang near everything in that store that you can or can’t think of, and some of their product has a couple of inches of dust on it from sitting on the shelves for so long…so they have to pay for it...

Frugal Living: Homemade gluten-free arepas

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (59042) • United States 11h

I had never had an arepa, until I vacationed in Aruba with Marga (@marguicha) in the fall of 2019. So as not to disturb Marga in the mornings, when I woke up and got dressed, I would go down to the hotel lobby to get a coffee at...

Four Walls I haven’t had them. I’m a southerner, so it’s “a pone of cornbread” here. (Yes, I know it’s not the same…but you expect a smart butt answer out of me!)

Graves Can Now Have QR Codes on Headstones

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (77448) • United States 16h

This is something I had not heard of. I do not know how to feel about it. But things are changing fast. Would you want to be identified by a QR Code?

Four Walls Hmm, that’s interesting. One of my favorite actors as a kid, Edward Mulhare, was from Cork and is buried there, so I wouldn’t mind him having a QR code. Personally, I’m not that exciting, so no.

Four Walls Went to Chuy’s yesterday because I was stuck with turkey on Thursday. Hope you can get a good price on the walk-in tub. Mine was expensive in 2019 ($14K, but that was a bathroom re-do not just the tub), so I can only imagine what it’ll be now....

My Favorite Songs with an Emotion in the Title- 2

DB @dgobucks226 (31525) 13h

Let's continue that "Emotional Rescue" with some more of my favorite tunes. I'm still seeing a lot of teary titles, so I asked Joe Cocker to "Cry Me a River" of some more sad songs. It would be a "crying shame" if you did not...

My "Hey Dude" Shoes Should Be Delivered Tomorrow

Lou Avul @LouAvul (2176) 11h

Just a quiet Saturday

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (59042) • United States 12h

At 9 a.m., it is 37F/2.77C and foggy. It is not icy, but it's cold enough outside that Cooper and I are reluctant to step out on the porch. Our high, here in Silverdale, will be 48F/9C today. I'm not looking forward to Monday,...

Speaker update: The oiling process has begun.

The Horse @TheHorse (165769) • Walnut Creek, California 11h

I am almost done with the AR-4x vintage loudspeakers I've been working on. I wasn't able to solve the "tweeter dilemma," but the screens are done and ready for action, and all corners and scratches have been dealt with. I hid the...

Took a Drive Past a Possible New House

Lou Avul @LouAvul (2176) 11h

Four Walls Take the bad with the good. My house is paid for, and any time our mayor gets stupid I can leave town. (That explains why I’m out of town so frequently, thanks to Mayor McBikeLane….)

Happy Birthday, Paul Desmond!

The Horse @TheHorse (165769) • Walnut Creek, California 23h

As many Americans know, it was Paul Desmond who wrote "Take Five," the biggest hit from Dave Brubeck's 1959 jazz album, "Time Out." 1959 was also the year of the release of Miles Davis's classic jazz album, "Kind of Blue." I...

A United States Landmark

deleriousinIdaho51 @celticeagle (139544) • Boise, Idaho 25 Nov

Imagine having to put your child on a train and tell him to "be small". Black mothers had to teach their children to accommodate the hatred and ugliness of others so they wouldn't be treated in an inhumane way. This is what...

Four Walls Isn’t it funny that things we take for granted as being illegal aren’t? The Emmett Till story is a major tragedy. Certainly not the only time it happened, but one of the most infamous instances.

Japanese weasels are an endemic species in Japan. They can be found on most Japanese islands, in beech forests, grasslands, and in some villages. They spend their day in their dens and hunt at night. In the winter they go into...

I took today as a lazy day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (147996) • United States 25 Nov

Something to Talk About

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (77448) • United States 25 Nov

Four Walls What’s really bad about these monitors is that they change so much with the software and hardware that you have to, first of all, make sure it’s compatible with the computer AND the software you have. That’s another reason I like Apple products: I don’t have...
