FAA has grounded all flights in the US.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (65089) 12h

They claim a communication problem. Supposedly the airports are in chaos, it's a complete ground stop. Whatever the problem is or why, it's affecting the air traffic control system. If you have a flight today, or know someone...

Juliaacv The Microsoft issue has been causing havoc in our country. There have been hospitals, and anyplace that has online booking systems, have gone down. I did not work today but I would imagine that any direct deposits scheduled to go into people's accounts did not...

Cursed Diamond

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (102371) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11h

Would you like to own a diamond that weighs 189.60 carats and run around shouting “I’m rich, I’m rich”? Well, if you would, then you need to take ownership of the Black Orlov Diamond. The only problem is how to take off the curse...

Juliaacv Showy pieces of jewelry don't do anything for me. My favorite piece of jewelry is a huge pin that my son gave me for Christmas in 1996. He thought the bigger the better, his heart was in the right place because all of these years later I still have it.

Does everyone have THAT relative?

Amber @AmbiePam (133206) • United States 13h

Do you have a relative that is just off? I don’t mean gets in legal trouble, or struggles with addiction, but people wonder what the heck goes through their mind? I have a first cousin, on my dad’s side. My dad thinks she’s...

Juliaacv Interesting reading about a day so 'feared' by so many. It doesn't affect me one way or the other, it is just another Friday or just another 13th of the month. I've been in hotels here, where there is a 13th floor, in fact the office tower that I work in has...

Juliaacv My favorite canned soup is No Name (from Loblaws) chicken noodle soup. It has the best tasting broth. I warmed up a bowl of chili from last night's supper for my lunch today, hubby warmed up some leftovers too and had it on toast.

Tasting Haagen-Dazs Cherry Vanilla ice cream

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109589) • Los Angeles, California 17h

Juliaacv That is similar to what I buy. I buy Chapmans frozen yogurt, it is a blend of vanilla and black cherry ice cream with pieces and whole cherries as well as little pieces of chocolate in it. This is close, minus the swirl, the fact that it is ice cream as...

Juliaacv The wind is cool here today, but the colder air hasn't arrived just yet. I will wear my winter coat, and gloves when we wait for the girls to come home on the school bus this afternoon because there is an open field across from where the bus lets them off.

Some people do some very strange things

snowy @snowy22315 (215070) • United States 18h

Juliaacv I have tried to watch a similar show, but the stupidity of the stories were just too frustrating for me. And swallowing batteries, she's a certified nut case as far as I'm concerned.

The heat is brutal

Michael @Wrexxo (11207) 18h

It's 2:33 p.m. on Friday. The heat's brutal, 34 degrees celcius but feels like 50. I've just stepped away from work for lunch, so I'm at home waiting for the sun to ease up before heading back. Inside, I'm enjoying the breeze....

When does the heat come on in your household?

Amber @AmbiePam (133206) • United States 19h

Some of you don’t live in environments where the heat is really used. But in a lot of the world, it is about time for winter weather. In Oklahoma, it really doesn’t start getting cold until January, and January is when I my...

Juliaacv Our heat only comes on at night, and only on the really cold nights. The sun seems to warm the place up so that no heat comes on during the daytime or on nights when it isn't cold but was sunny. We will both put on a sweater or a hoodie before we crank on the...

Juliaacv I should say it, for fear of jinxing it, but I am pretty good with knowing where my phone is. Except for on the weekends, I keep it on silent, so if I misplace it, I cannot call it.

Juliaacv I dislike the inflatable decorations also, they look too fake. It is early to have decorations up on the outside, not everyone who will see them will appreciate them.

My cute little car is annoying me

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128435) • United States 12 Nov

I have a 2020 Mazda MX-5 convertible which is also known as a Miata. It is paid off. It is absurdly small but very fun to drive most of the year. When it snows. . . not so much. But I digress. One by one what seem like minor...

Do you like jerky?

Amber @AmbiePam (133206) • United States 12 Nov

I don’t know that you can elevate beef jerky, but I admire those who try. I got four different flavors of beef jerky/sticks free to review, and I’m just not a big jerky fan. Although, I did try the “Kicker”, and it wasn’t bad;...
