CarolDM @CarolDM (193107) • United States 1h

The last several mornings have been nice and cool. I get out with my camera to see what is left in the garden. I noticed these roses blooming today. And more buds on the way. However with a possible frost this weekend, not sure...

We probably should have said "No"

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (147426) • United States 1h

When Bob was having his cardiac procedure the other day they asked about the flu shot and we said we had not had ours this year. We had planned to when he ended up sick with C Diff. So they offered him the shot before he left....

Juliaacv I do not take the flu shot as I always get very ill. I am waiting 6 months from my last booster shot to get the variant specific covid shot, I've had enough shots in the past couple of years.

Went to my doctor for my Wellness Exam. Now that I'm old, had to take some memory quizzes, etc. Also she wanted me to schedule a Bone Density Test again along with my regular blood tests, etc. What a pain it is getting old....

Juliaacv I think that my hubby says that about me forgetting how to get around if there is a road closure. I never was very good with directions, and it has nothing to do with the aging process. We ordered in panzerotti last night.

The after-photo of the sponge cake

Judy Evans @JudyEv (287715) • Rockingham, Australia 11h

Here is a photo of the sponge cake that Vince made. We cut the cake in half then put jam and cream in the middle and on the top. Then we grated a little bit of chocolate on top. I took a photo once he had finished putting it...

Have You Had Long COVID-19?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (104601) • United States 11h

There are those who believe that COVID-19 is just like any other flu; and then there are those such as myself that believe there are more sinister, long-term effects from this disease. Some are so affected that they can't get out...

Juliaacv I remember early on after the pandemic was identified, I told my hubby that I was so afraid of getting it. I told him that I feel uncomfortable going out in public and touching any surface. I felt like I was losing my mind. He heard me out, and put his hands...

"M-O-O-N that spells moon"

BillyJoe JimBob Brewsucker @PhredWreck (8665) • Olney, Illinois 11h

Of course "M-O-O-N that spells Tom Cullens" to those who know. Those who don't know can look it up. Or they can not worry about it and just enjoy this moon shot I took at 2 A.M. this morning in southern Illinois USA. "M-O-O-N...

Seasonal allergies

Angie @andriaperry (114914) • Anniston, Alabama 12h

Seasonal allergies is what I got, it's horrible! Itchy eyes and ears. Coughing and sneezing. With covid around some people will look at me sideways, some run but I know it's just allergies. I hate to take any medication for...

Juliaacv I do not suffer from seasonal allergies, but I feel for you that you do. Our sweet pet dog, Nayla, used to suffer terribly. She didn't tolerate car rides into town either. After many years of taking her into the vet's office at this time of the year, and she...

Will the fourth time be the charm?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (33688) • United States 6 Oct

I know you all may be tired of hearing about the cruises we've had to cancel. Well, I found another one in November that is the same ship, same ports of call, and the same price! Thankfully, we received a refund for the one we...

Juliaacv I hope that nothing causes you to have to cancel this upcoming cruise. And while you are away, I wish you a wonderful great trip. My hubby's older 2 sisters and their hubs are flying down to Miami to take a ship up to New York and then across to Portugal....

Save More Money: When in doubt, make it soup!

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (56227) • United States 6 Oct

I hear many people, young and old, say that they cannot afford to feed their families in today's economy. Although I understand that things are tight for so many of us, including me, I still do not understand some of the lamenting...

Juliaacv I love making soup, there are so many variations of any soups that I make because they are always based on what I need to use up which changes the flavours. I have to try to make some squash soup this month, that is a must that I have to get to after the...

Juliaacv Don't overdo it, you want to enjoy your weekend away. I'm having a great day, my hubs is having one also. He just texted me that he had his annual review and is getting a raise and a nice bonus check. That works for me.

Week off work

Dominique @dodo19 (46442) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 6 Oct

I took a week off work this week. As much as I do enjoy some parts of what I do, it's been driving me nuts as well. Not really a fan of management, personally. Either way, I took a week off to just get away from it. Have a break....

Juliaacv You can pay your bills if you take some well deserved time off, to get away from the pressures of work and then you will be better able to handle the work stuff. My hubs is off next week and I have 4 days off the following week. Its a good time of the year for...

Old but also modern - the bentwood chair

Judy Evans @JudyEv (287715) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

In the photo is a bentwood chair. I thought these were only made a long time ago but when I went searching it seems the same design is still being manufactured today. The first bentwood chair was made by German-Austrian cabinet...

Juliaacv I never really thought about it but that style of chair has been around as long as I can recall. We never had any cane chairs like that, but they are quite timeless.

Juliaacv I love the idea of adding a little bacon to the chili, that would be so tasty. It must take you a while to eat a bit crock pot full of chili, but it usually reheats well.
