Death Doula

Amber @AmbiePam (118659) • United States 7h

Have you ever heard of a death doula? I think I had, but until my cousin (pictured) announced she was close to getting certified, I didn’t really look into it. This cousin is the youngest daughter of my late awful, terrible uncle....

Heather Echola I do not know if I would want more people involved. I, fortunately, had a good experience with hospice when my first husband was ill.Also when I was social services at a nursing home we had a resident who received wonderful care from Hospice. I imagine there...

It's been a strange day here.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (57896) 17h

I woke up with one of those preliminary migraine headaches that I literally chased with meds all day. Not as bad as it was, but that's because we are currently having yet another lightning and thunder show, with a gullywasher...

Heather Echola Last night we had a really good Supreme pizza from Little Caesar's. At lunch I made myself a "Mexican plate" with a beef and bean burrito, refried black beans and a rice blend. Served with salsa. Breakfast for Bob and I was a protein drink and waffles spread...

A Stop For the Birds!

Four Walls @FourWalls (85738) • United States 4 May

This discussion is for the birds. Let’s talk Audubon. Have you ever heard of Alexander Wilson, the late 18th/early 19th century Scottish ornithologist who did work in America? You probably haven’t, and the reason for that is...

So, a few updates.

Amber @AmbiePam (118659) • United States 10h

So yesterday, I asked for prayer for my stepmom’s son-in-law who is in his early 50s (and in great shape), had a heart attack, and needed a quadruple bypass. He was supposed to have it done yesterday morning, but by the afternoon...

Heather Echola Guthrie is a nice town. I know a few people there through my brother's church. I hope she does well there and comes to love it. Praying for the youngish man who needs to increase his strength, I understand.

When Pit Bulls Attack

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (101) • United States 8h

I wrote a post here last week about how I was seeing cases of pit bull attacks being heard before Justice Judy and most of them were pit bulls attacking chihuahuas specifically. I decided to do a little research about pit bull...

Heather Echola Perhaps they believe they are rats and attack them. I am not a dog person at all, and chihuahuas annoy me immensely. Dog bites are serious. Perhaps the pit bull bites are so many because often people who encourage aggressiveness or neglect dogs are pit bull...

Heather Echola No, I do not smoke anything. This looks like a hillbilly corn cob pipe. You should get a fancy Meerschaum or whatever pipe befitting your Scottish heritage.

Very Sunny Morning

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (133992) • Marion, Ohio 4 May

The weatherman was saying rain overnight and this morning. It looks like they greatly missed it this time. I woke up to wonderful sunshine. Love when they mess up this direction. I need to do a load of laundry. It will dry fast...

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (68909) • Centralia, Washington 19h

Humble lentil and potato soup wasn't good enough for supper. I just had to make the simple one egg cake that I have made a million times. And frosting. Hubby just managed to take it from its pan and slid it onto a dinner sized...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (101) • United States 4 May

Oh my, my heart is still racing. Hubby and I ate out at Buffalo Wild Wings, like I told you in my last post. Our lunch was only $11.65 plus tip. They had one of those things called a Ziosk on the table, which is a tablet where...

Detox Duty

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126991) • United States 3 May

Heather Echola I was training for a security type job once. I could not do it. Could not even do the searches that were not strip search. Looking for razor blades stashed in hair, etc. I am glad it was not too bad for you.

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (101) • United States 4 May

I borrowed this idea for a post from today's Bing Search Engine's daily poll. They asked: "Would you rather cook at home or order take-out?" I was surprised at the results. 65% said they'd rather cook at home. You all know...
