This Next Week....

It's Monday morning. We are slowly getting the place in order. Doing a little each day. I hope Housing doesn't come down on us suddenly with a planned inspection. Give us some time. Rushing my grandson to do too much puts him in a...

Home a Little Early

Amber @AmbiePam (98230) • United States 21h

Well, instead of coming home tomorrow morning I came home this afternoon due to a potential “storm of the decade”. My dad could not care less, but my sister was worried about us getting caught in it. Thus, I am home. It was the...

Heather Echola Even if it is not the "storm of the decade" it is nice not to be traveling in heavy wind and rain. I am glad you are safe and that your dad did not have a hard case of Covid. Like everything else, we begin to build immunities, until it mutates again.

Some days I just can't but Scar and P.T. and 'Moci all think I should

Scar D. Cat @Scarred4Lyfe (764) 17 May

But regardless I am still not going to pay $235.00 for two empty boxes no matter how "Cool!" they are alleged to be. There is a $60 shipping charge involved as well which is why I quote the $235 figure. I wonder...

That's Interesting...

DE @DaddyEvil (148365) • United States 17 May

I looked up the NextDoor site for my city and found interesting information about my city that I didn't know... My city has the nickname "The City of Lights" but I didn't know where it came from. Apparently, when a Post Office...

Heather Echola Funny, the city I used to live in was called The Light Capital. It is said that from the air you can clearly trace both the north/south and east/west main roads and the residential areas where I lived certainly were well lit. I missed that when I moved here.

Fleur @Fleura (31730) • United Kingdom 17 May
