Orville's back!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44072) • United States 9h

I think I previously wrote about my little buddy Orville, a box common dragonfly who showed up last summer. His little squarish black and clear wings remind me of the plane that Orville and his brother Wilbur flew at Kill Devil...

Heather Echola How can you tell them apart? I judge by them recurring in the same place all the time. I should maybe watch them more. I have a friend like Orville who seems to greet me at my west door each time I come home.

Heather Echola I hope the good night's sleep helped a lot. I like to have heavier covers. They kind of press into you and make you feel secure enough to sleep.

My Husband is Suffering from Furalysis

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (52) • United States 22h

I saw this meme and immediately thought of my husband and our cat Oliver. Plus I wanted to get back to more of my funnier posts rather than all the doom and gloom of my injuries. Oliver sleeps in hubby's lap at least 5 hours a...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (52) • United States 21h

We were hoping mother-in-law's car would be totaled after her recent at-fault car accident because we don't feel she should be driving anymore. That was going to be the easy way to take her keys away from her. But it's...

Got the Police Report

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (52) • United States 29 Aug

Just as we suspected, the mother-in-law was at fault for the accident with the semi tractor-trailer. It shows she drifted out of the left lane into the truck in the right lane. That is consistent with the damages to the car....

Heather Echola What she says will probably keep changing on a weekly or daily basis. Just do not get the car repaired. Make sure she has nothing to drive.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (47831) 28 Aug

And no, not just since yesterday's Minneapolis shooting. I didn't realize it was even going on, but evidently in many churches now, it is. As I have said before, I lived for a time in a small town in southern IL. My best friend...
