How did we end up with these?

Fleur @Fleura (33734) • United Kingdom 3 Feb

Eldest daughter ‘Big One’ is having a blitz of her bedroom. Basically it is full of three categories of items – clothes, books, and random papers. The random paper (in drawers, in piles under the bed etc.) includes things like...

The Baking Club made homemade cinnamon rolls today

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126182) • United States 22h

I spent a lot of time trying to plan the best way for us to do it. I made the dough here last night because it had to be kneaded in the stand mixer for 25 minutes. It overproofed but it couldn't be helped. I put it in the fridge...

Heather Echola It sounds like it was a great project. The first time of doing anything is always the hardest. Many people have never seen how cinnamon rolls or other things are made.

I was fooling myself

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (167551) • United States 22h

I had my "cardiac stress test" today. I did the treadmill version. Hardest part is going without caffeine for 24 hours before. Fasting is not fun but is doable. My headache still is not gone. It may be from the stuff they inject...

What an adventure

snowy @snowy22315 (202349) • United States 2 Feb

Well, despite it being close to 40 degrees today, it is still treacherous out there. I did manage to escape though and got some groceries, and went out to a restaurant for a change of scenery. However, the roads in this...

Heather Echola I do not think we have any more coming for about a week, and then look out.We have had enough sun that things are brown with only a touch of white. The plowed snow from parking lots is melting as well. That does not mean that winter is over yet. We just get a...

Do you have any invasive species in your area?

Amber @AmbiePam (111922) • United States 2 Feb

So @MarieCoyle was mentioning the non native species in Florida (pythons and iguanas) that are harming the environment. It made me think of the non native species we have in Oklahoma wreaking havoc. The major one is feral hogs....

A four-hour swim to get help for his family

Judy Evans @JudyEv (370754) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Feb

George (@deepizzaguy) entertains us all with his good news stories so I’m ‘borrowing’ his theme to tell you one of my own. A mother and three children aged 13, 12 and 8 got swept out to sea on a kayak and inflatable...

I think my magnesium is low again.

Amber @AmbiePam (111922) • United States 3 Feb

Do you remember my trip to the emergency room back in September? It turned out my magnesium was a 1 when it should be a 1.9. I couldn’t stand or walk without help, and was short of breath. I had been throwing up for a long time...

Why didn’t I think of it before?

Fleur @Fleura (33734) • United Kingdom 2 Feb

Ever since we moved to this house, getting on for ten years ago, the front door has not closed properly. If we push the door shut, it stays in position but it doesn’t go quite close enough for the latch to actually click into the...

What is your go-to color?

rosé @mnglsp (3721) • Philippines 1 Feb

My favorite color is purple. But what I have noticed is that most of my things and clothes are black. I also realized that whenever I am having a hard time picking what color to wear, I always end up picking black clothes....

I’m suddenly developing other interests?

Amber @AmbiePam (111922) • United States 1 Feb

I don’t have a lot of artistic talent, but this big snowstorm that out of boredom got me to try the craft projects I needed to review, has me eager to try something new. Next up is a set of watercolors I’m being sent. I’m not...

Turns out I got my mother a really useful gift for her birthday

snowy @snowy22315 (202349) • United States 1 Feb

I got her some balm for her hands, but what I really wanted her to try was magnesium spray because she has a lot of pain in her knees. She also has trouble sleeping, so I thought she could use it for both. I was just talking to...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54301) 1 Feb

That is, it's the little things that can make a person want to scream in frustration. Ever hear of a floater? Sure you have. Basically, there are two definitions of a floater. One is a person, dead or alive, floating in...

Would you watch Melania's movie?

The Horse @TheHorse (234551) • Walnut Creek, California 31 Jan
