A Me Day

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57487) • Canada 15 Sep

As many of you know, I work full time still. I took today off as a paid personal day. Today is one such day. It's a Julia day, all to myself. Well, for what I would like to do with the day is a more accurate description of...

Anna @Juliaacv - He should have not climbed the 6 stories to the level of the parking garage. If he did, surely he was breathing with no problems and his heart rate was good. We must remember to slow down, our body may do not feel the years, but the years are...

A very full afternoon--hurry up and wait.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (63018) 15 Sep

For the son, not for me. Right now, he is on a telehealth appointment with what he calls the ''vampire'' that calls from the treatment center. That shouldn't take very long. This afternoon he has an appointment at one complex...

Keychain of Choice

Amber @AmbiePam (127152) • United States 15 Sep

My keychains are always ones I get free, but I try to make sure they are big enough to catch my eye. I’ve been known to lose my keys, so my dad has a backup pair. His keychains are really small to nonexistent. The one pictured...

Anna Lamb chops need good cutlery, shame that restaurants always provide the wrong knives. I am glad you enjoyed your time there. I remember I have always been careful what I hate during parties to avoid to get too many calories.

Double trouble

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388255) • Rockingham, Australia 16h

Yesterday we went looking for wildflowers at Whiteman Park. We saw very few but that’s okay. We’ll have plenty more opportunities. I took this photo of two introduced plants which have created a lot of headaches throughout much...

Anna I like the arum lily, but as all lilies I know it's poisonous. We have plenty of introduced creatures and not all are welcome. The Louisiana crayfish and the zebra mussel have been introduced into Italian rivers, disrupting local ecosystems and killing native...

Have you ever hitchhiked?

JB_girl @sol_cee (39089) • Philippines 14h

From time to time, we see teenagers here standing by the side of the road, sticking out their thumbs and hitchhiking. But I’ve always wondered: Do people actually let them in? I don’t think hitchhiking is very common in the...

Anna NEVER! My parents always warned me never to do something so dangerous. My Dad picked up a hitchhiker once. He was an Italian Navy Marine going back home and we were 4 in the car. Safe enough.

Anna Our temperature cooled down, now it's 19 C in the morning and the high is no more than 25 C, that is good for me. I am sorry your mom will be home alone. I wish to your niece to get well soon.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (63018) 9 Sep

I think I need to not try to plan as much as I do. Other than appointments and ''have to do'' things, often things just don't always go according to plan here. Yes, it used to be easier when it was just me. But it's not just me...
