Found Out About The Turkeys

celticeagle @celticeagle (187502) • Boise, Idaho 13h

We get a newsletter 3 or 4 times a year from the city. I got one today. I looked it over and was going to chuck it when I noticed a note from the city council on the back. It seems that these turkeys we see are termed 'urban...

Heather Echola Wow. One Kansas community has had an urban turkey, but I think he has passed. Possibly hit by a car. One thing to remember is that they are domesticated turkey breeds. No self respecting wild turkey would hang out in town.

Footloose

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (96089) • Daytona Beach, Florida 16h

By 1984 all of my excess energy was spent on dancing, either in some of the clubs around New York City, parties I was invited to, or just at home grooving to my favorite music. What I really loved this year was music from the...

Simple Pleasures

Ms.Chelle @Chellezhere (6422) • United States 6 Apr

Today, one of our local historic, upscale-casual restaurants stopped by my apartment complex and surprised us with a complete meal for all every resident. It was a cous cous dish with a side of asparagus, something else and a what...

Do you write and/or read reviews?

Amber @AmbiePam (116900) • United States 16h

When I say “reviews”, I mean for pretty much anything. One of the first things that came to mind was the movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. When it comes to movies, I do not want the opinion of a professional critic; I want to know...

Heather Echola As far as media, I do not want to read "critics" opinions. Some of my favorite things have been down voted in the past. I glance at product reviews, but still use my own reasoning as well.

Mondays Seem to be When Mother-in-Law Has Meltdowns

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (49) • United States 7 Apr

This is the third Monday in a row that called us around 6 pm after her dinner and had a meltdown over the phone. She's saying again that someone stole something from her room, which they didn't. This time she's saying it's two...

Heather Echola Something over the weekend disturbs her routine, maybe? And she cannot pin point it, so she just melts down. Bob is entering into the realms of dementia. Some days he is very lucid, and others he tells things that I am never sure of.

Despite seeming impossible to do, have you ever said the wrong thing?

Amber @AmbiePam (116900) • United States 7 Apr

A discussion by @JudyEv brought to mind an incident my maternal grandfather told me once. He was always vocal about not liking rhubarb in anything. I myself never tried rhubarb in any form until I tried Strawberry Rhubarb Poppi...

Heather Echola I wish someone sold dirt instead of things I do not need to eat, like cookies or popcorn. If they got it to my porch or door I would manage to get it put places.

Found it

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (68595) • Centralia, Washington 12h

I found the state park that I was looking for today. It's about 16 miles down a country highway from the freeway. Imagine loud impatient pickups behind you and a logging truck or two and you will get the picture. Perfect day...

An Explosion of Epic Proportions

Amber @AmbiePam (116900) • United States 22h

Well, it’s not really an explosion of epic proportions, but it feels like this when it happens. What am I talking about this time? Have you ever wanted a soda or other drink that happens to be in a can, and it’s room temperature?...

Heather Echola Nope, I do not do that. I have heard of people leaving multi packs of soda, or water in their vehicle in the winter Then they have epic regrets.

My mother turned me on to a new show

snowy @snowy22315 (205587) • United States 22h

I have heard of this for years, but never watched it. Call the Midwife on PBS is a show about midwives in 1950's/60's London, as they make the transition from home to hospital care. It was really good. It reminded me a bit of...

A funny sign

Judy Evans @JudyEv (376714) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Apr

One of the people selling wares at the Nungarin markets had a collection of signs for sale. I thought this one was quite funny. We have a few ‘ocker’ (redneck Australians, I guess) who can’t talk without swearing. They don’t even...
