Would you go inside your home if it was on fire?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (48148) 19h

It was on our local news, that someone not far from here lost their home to a fire yesterday. Tragic, yes. Unfortunately, not unusual, it does happen. As we all know, it's heartbreaking to lose a home to fire, but it would be even...

Juliaacv It is difficult to say for certain as emotions would come into play, which probably overcame this lady. I would say no, that I would not enter, not unless a family member were inside and they needed to be rescued.

Always smiling @allknowing (153192) • India 18h

My visit to the US covinced me that everything is big in the US. I have talked about onions. I was with my nephew and they get their milk in cans - litres and litres that just does not get finished Forget about tea and coffee...

Good and bad

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44106) • United States 18h

The good news, relatively speaking, is I got my Botox injections today for my migraines. They hurt, but not unbearably and they're certainly better than headaches every day. Today is our son Robert's birthday...I'm cooking a nice...

Pretty brought home some fruit and veggie puree. I am trying one of the flavors but can't say I'm impressed... This one is apple, peach, sweet potato... It mostly tastes like sweet potato and, while I like raw sweet potato, cold,...

9/8/25 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (200165) • United States 15h

Cousin #2 stayed longer yesterday and was able to do a couple of things for me. I haven't heard from cousin #3. I guess I can't count on her anymore. There were 2 winners in Ohio for $1 million for the PowerBall drawing. If...

Juliaacv The shenanigans are starting back up with that cousin. I hope that she comes around. Yesterday I had a dish of soup for lunch and breaded shrimp and tater tots for supper.

A Fun Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (122070) • Marion, Ohio 23h

I got to tear an old stand apart. It is now out of the way. I enjoy being destructive. I also did my walking. Dinner was homemade chicken and dumplings. Duck eggs make great dumplings. I also made chocolate...

Juliaacv I don't usually like being destructive because it usually means that I will have to replace something.

Younger Generations Don't Know How to Balance a Checkbook

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 8 Sep

These younger folks have zero financial literacy. And I blame their parents. Why isn't somebody teaching them this stuff? If you ask a Gen Z person, they will say there's no point in learning how to balance a checkbook. They...

One Answer is Hashimoto's Disease

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 8 Sep

Well, I wanted a name to explain the symptoms I'm having and now I have it. Also called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, it's an auto-immune disorder. Well that explains a lot. The internet says that people with Hashimoto's "Most...

Juliaacv I hope that eventually they can find you a medication that might help with the symptoms. Low thyroid is a tough diagnosis, I've had it since my late 30's.

How Much More Time Can I Waste?

paigea @paigea (36212) • Canada 8 Sep

Since the weather is beautiful here, I thought I would do my stretching program in the woods. It's on a PBS station. I learned there is an App and put it on my iPad. Then I proceeded to search and search for the program. It took...

Bread Bowl?

Amber @AmbiePam (102658) • United States 8 Sep

I had some soup today, and it came with a bread bowl. I ate half the bread bowl, and I don’t care about the carbs. My breakfast this morning didn’t stay, so I felt the calories were warranted. I’ve lost 25 much needed pounds...

Juliaacv I tried a bread bowl only once. I had chili in it, but it did not seem practical to eat what was holding the meal. It would have been a bit messy.

Strange thing

snowy @snowy22315 (195710) • United States 8 Sep

I just saw a fire truck drive down my street. They weren't in a hurry and there were no fires. Maybe they were looking for hydrants, but shouldn't"t they know where they are already!

Juliaacv Maybe they had to go out to get supplies. We see our fire trucks at grocery stores and places like that on occasion.

Tried a New Menu Item at our Regular Restaurant Today

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 7 Sep

I'll mention the restaurant because @FourWalls lives in my city and she'll recognize the name. They used to be The Goose Creek Diner because they were on Goose Creek Road, but they moved and changed their name to Goose Hangout...

Another Day, Another 4 Hours Cleaning out Mother-in-Law's Closet

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 6 Sep

Today we tackled the "Winter Clothes." OMG! I am NOT exaggerating when I say she had 50 pink sweaters. Now read that again. Not 50 total sweaters - 50 PINK sweaters. I emptied 5 boxes of sweaters and ended up taking two...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (165674) • United States 7 Sep

Discounts at Restaurants

celticeagle @celticeagle (179468) • Boise, Idaho 7 Sep

Do you enjoy going out to a restaurant, or even fast-food place, occasionally? I sure do. But since we order our food to be delivered, I can't get the discount. But I thought I would make a list here for those of you who enjoy a...

Juliaacv We do not eat out much at all, so I do not really have a favorite restaurant. I do like the pizza joint that we order from though. I order it online and go and pick it up. I prefer that over delivery.
