LindaOH @LindaOHio (209579) • United States 22 Dec

88 days until spring. Today is cousin #2's day. She and I are going to look at smartphones and tablets for me. Yes, you heard that right. I may be getting a smartphone and/or a tablet. Breakfast - Low salt nuts Lunch - PB&J...

Juliaacv congratulations. You won't need a tablet if you have a smartphone as you can use a mobile browser to go online. It is super convenient and handy, and a space saver also. Yesterday, I wasn't feeling well, and my husband made us chicken and dumpling for supper.

Good Morning 12/22

snowy @snowy22315 (200813) • United States 22 Dec

Bright and sunny outside today. I may have to stop using my outlook mail. Microsoft is threatening me, saying I went over my storage limit for email. I have a bad habit of not deleting emails, and I get lots. They want to charge...

Juliaacv We had a grey day, although the sun did come out for a bit now and again. The extreme cold has passed, which is good. There are flurries right now, but if the temperatures rise, that will change to rain, and we may end up having a green Christmas afterall. I...

Monday, Monday. Let's hope it's a good one.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (52864) 22 Dec

I had an elderly relative who used to always refer to Monday as ''Blue Monday'' and seemed to dread Mondays in general. She had a stressful job for years; I think that made her dread the beginning of the week. I thought of her...

Juliaacv Mondays don't really bother me. The true Blue Monday is on the third Monday of January here in Canada. It is considered that because it is the 'quiet time' between the holidays and when credit card bills begin to become due. There is a really easy way to avoid...

I cannot do bugs.

Amber @AmbiePam (109184) • United States 22 Dec

I got a survey today about bugs, and I immediately exited the survey. I cannot do bug surveys anymore. One of my neighbors had bed bugs. The inspection showed no one else in the building did, but I fogged my apartment anyway...

Juliaacv Bugs bug me too, those and snakes. I cannot think nor read or look at anything pertaining to them. I know that some pests can be neighbourhood related. We had a neighbour across the road from us at our last place, and he had moles. He must have disturbed their...

Monday Morning Coffee Chat

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (87615) • United States 22 Dec

Happy Monday Everyone! it's a sunny morning with temperatures just above freezing. There's a chance of some sort of snowy mix overnight but looks like it won't amount to anything. (fingers crossed) I'm sitting here with my...

What’s your day looking like?

Amber @AmbiePam (109184) • United States 21 Dec

I made it to church today, and I was really glad to be there. By the time it was over, I was fading, but hey, I made it! I’m eating a taco for lunch, and then my dad is coming over to watch football with me. I see him about once...

Juliaacv You're so smart to spend some quality alone time with your Dad. I am exhausted today, still the bronchitis, so much so that I didn't feel that I had it in me to make our Sunday brunch. We ate out, and then did a few errands, when I got home I had a long rest,...

WOW! Too Much Noise!

DE @DaddyEvil (164616) • United States 20 Dec

I was watching a new dinosaur video on YT, wearing my headphones, when music started blasting and drowned the video out! I went to Pretty's bedroom and asked if that was something she was watching and she said it was coming from...

A mouse brings down a major supermarket

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368207) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Dec

The photo is of a guinea pig, not a mouse. I heard a story today that I found amusing. The country town where we both grew up has two major grocery stores, Coles and IGA. A few months back, a naughty mouse chewed through a...

Not Green Bean Casserole

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (53999) • United States 1 Dec

A friend of mine was getting ready to make green bean casserole for Thanksgiving and got quite a surprise. All of her cans contained beets instead of green beans. I have never seen this before. Fortunately she found some cans in...

Juliaacv I have never seen anything like this. I hope that she took photos and submitted them to the company. I would not have any trust in buying canned goods from that company going forward.

There one minute, somewhere else the next

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368207) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Dec

I had to undergo a gastroscopy today where a small tube is put down your throat and pictures taken with its tiny camera. All quite mind-blowing stuff. I don’t want to go into details but when they were ready to go ahead, they...

Juliaacv I hope that your results are good. I had that test once, after they did the upper GI they dropped it down low and did the lower GI. The drug that they used to sedate me was one sweet ride, it was lovely and I woke so happy given what was done to me minutes...

I made my doctor laugh

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (167042) • United States 20 Dec

I want to say that I am so thankful for my primary care physician. She listens, values me as a person, and has a great sense of humor. I was not trying to make her laugh, she could just see the total irony in a situation. This...

Juliaacv You are very fortunate to have a caring and good doctor. I can barely understand mine. He comes from Nigeria but studied at Oxford University, so has that English accent in the mix.

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (127287) • Marion, Ohio 20 Dec

Overnight. It was 14 when I went to bed and 20 when I got up. I have been up a couple of hours and it's now 28. We should get around 40 today. And right now it says 60 for Christmas day. I like that. Nothing special today. I...

Microsoft Rewards are weird

snowy @snowy22315 (200813) • United States 20 Dec

So, I was dismayed the other day that I could not get my 5 dollar Amazon card with more than 5,000 points. The price when I went to redeem was 6.500. Well anyway, I finally got to that point,,,went to redeem and it was back to...

Juliaacv I totally forgot about those points and when I checked them last summer, I cashed in for a $10 gift card. It was fairly easy to obtain and use.

Broccoli and Cheese Soup

celticeagle @celticeagle (183825) • Boise, Idaho 19 Dec

Juliaacv I love broccoli soup too. I usually add about 1/4 of the mix as cauliflower, as it has a really nice taste when it is blended. I like to add a tiny bit of carrots too.

Interesting Income Results

Amber @AmbiePam (109184) • United States 20 Dec

I took a poll on a survey site that wanted to know what we thought the results would be based on the last U.S. census. I’m not going to say the name of the site in case it’s against the rules. Sure, it’s my source, but you also...

Juliaacv I believe it. I remember in the late 1960's my aunt, who taught at a private boarding high school, claimed that the Asian students' math skills were far superior to those of the rest of us.
