Well, it has started

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145015) • United States 4h

This only applies to the USA. In our town it is legal to set off fireworks starting today. And my neighbors did. Bob and I were sitting out enjoying some shade and an afternoon breeze. Neighbor kids started with the fireworks,...

Duck Dynasty Was At My House For Breakfast This Morning

Chellé Susann @Chellezhere (9755) • United States 16h

When I woke up this morning, Henry was not sleeping in the bed with me. He was lying on the windowsill. But unlike most mornings, he did not meow and jump down when I put my feet on the floor. Instead, this morning, he cocked his...

Some Changes Were Made in the Warehouse

Jim Bauer @porwest (52954) • United States 21 Jun

He had to go. Even for me, despite my disdain for not having a warehouse guy in place—the last incident was severe enough that even I had to say, "this guy is a liability that we simply cannot afford." To make a long story...

Heather Echola That sounds absolutely criminal and a death trap. It is good he is gone.

Warehouse Update

Jim Bauer @porwest (52954) • United States 17h

So, we still do not have a new warehouse guy and I have to say it is a complete distraction, although it seems to be suggested that there are at least 'prospects.' The boss and I will both be on vacation the first week of August,...

Heather Echola I am glad there are at least prospects. I know of too many jobs that are going begging. It makes it hard to do the work.

Fast Auction Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (55950) • Marion, Ohio 28 Jun

There was not a lot there today. So we were home earlier than normal. The vegetables will start increasing soon. One guy brought in cereal, beef sticks and a few other things. I got 6 of the beef sticks for 2 dollars. They are...

Heather Echola I had an extra trip to Newton, due to a prescription mix up from the big hospital. It just feels as if I cannot get anything done. I am making sure hubby gets three meals a day though.

Day 28--Another no-spend day

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (47582) • United States 28 Jun

It's the 28th of june, and I'm coming to the end of my no spend month, even though I've spent a little bit of money, far less than I normally do, on food . But I've also not spent much time today accomplishing anything. Once...

Heather Echola That is really hard. Not sleeping will mess up your appetite as well. You have done well not spending. I understand about being tired of what you have but also grateful for their availability.

Not so many days on my own after all

Judy Evans @JudyEv (278746) • Rockingham, Australia 22h

Vince, my husband, rang this morning to say he will be home late tonight. If you read my previous post/s, you’ll know he and his brother went off for a couple of days providing support to the brother’s grandson who was attempting...

She said she was homesick

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145015) • United States 28 Jun

My great niece lived with me when she was a little girl. Just for about three years. She and her daughter live with her mother. She does not lack for anything, but the other day she said she was homesick. She said she missed...

Why I haven't been here

Angie @andriaperry (114669) • Anniston, Alabama 23 Dec

It's a long story but I am telling it, all of it. First of all I'm being monitored by the "ex" and she tells Robert that I'm online writing again. Talking to men. She does this to break us up. To control what I do online. That...

Smells of Spring

Angie @andriaperry (114669) • Anniston, Alabama 9 May

Heather Echola I cannot think of anything I hate. I love being in a place I can smell lots of fresh things. Maybe marigolds are not my favorite, but they are so beneficial to plant.

Post Written --- Post Gone :-(

M.-L. @MALUSE (68414) • Germany 27 Jun

Heather Echola This happens to me when I try to post with the earnings page open. That would be my only suggestion. I would think maybe hitting a back arrow immediately MIGHT bring it back, but that is too late now.

I'm on my own for a couple of days

Judy Evans @JudyEv (278746) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jun

I am on my own for two nights. Vince left early this morning to meet up with his brother. They’ll be heading for Norseman which is seven to eight hours driving without stops. His brother’s grandson is riding a pushbike from Perth...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145015) • United States 28 Jun

I was outside, preparing for some yard work. The weather was pleasant yesterday afternoon, then Bob called. He said "Are you sitting down?" and I said "No". "Well he said, there's this nurse here who tells me that she is working...

Good Morning 6/27

snowy @snowy22315 (137876) • United States 27 Jun

Nearly the end of June already. It seemed like just yesterday it was my dad's bday. His is on the 14th. I was looking at the extended forecast no heat waves in sight. We probably won't escape forever, but thus far we have been...

Heather Echola We have been cool since Sunday, but it will not last. I do not think we are having usual weather this year. May was pretty cool, then got really hot right before school let out. June came in hot hot, hot, then we just had a drop. It is strange.

Just an ordinary day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145015) • United States 27 Jun

It is six in the morning, and we are having just a bit of coolness. Hubby said the doctor yesterday told him Tuesday will likely be his dismissal. Today is trash day. So I will take it to the curb. The cooler weather makes me...

That Crazy Old Woman

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (55950) • Marion, Ohio 26 Jun

Was actually useful last night. She did a fairly decent job of pulling the weeds around the hot pepper plants. So the garden is fully ready for rain now to help it grow. Caught a raccoon and an opossum last night. But now I need...

Should I Go or Should I Stay

paigea @paigea (35020) • Canada 26 Jun

I know I'm borrowing my title from a song but music is not my thing so no idea what song I am looking forward to my, soul restoring, hike today. Walking and chatting is one of my favourite things to do. And I am...
