Father's Day in Croatia,my country. Not ideal one

Valentina @valherma00 (1691) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 19 Mar

Yes, today we celebrate this day in my country. I think Portugal,Spain and Belgium celebrate it the same day as well. Since 9a.m. to 3 p.m. today our ministry of population decided to treat fathers who came with their children...

Anna Also here in Italy we celebrate father's day on March 19th, the same in the south of Switzerland. It's St.Joseph day (the father of Jesus) this is why that day has been chosen.

Anna You had a busy and good day. I stayed at home and took care of several bureaucratic matters. All is done now and I am very happy.

United States Postal Service is almost out of money.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56138) 23h

They are claiming that they may run out of money to function with, possibly late this year says some sources, and within a year from others. Either way, they are in a mess. Also, there are plans to raise the price of stamps...

Anna Of course it would be a huge problem for many if the mail service will no more be available. Italian Postal Service is not the best, but better than years ago.

I hope Wendys doesn't disappear on us

Any Good News Today?

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (55168) • Canada 21h

Any good news come into your life today? I have a suspicion of a possible good news tidbit from work. I hope that I won't jinx it, but I noticed that I received an email with an invitation to a meeting mid-week next week. It...

Anna I hope that the husband of your close friends will get better. Cell phones can be annoying sometimes, but they are great to have.

Trump is a cretin.

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4987) • Northampton, England 20h

So the good news is the U.K has moved away from fossil fuels of late and we only take 1% of our natural gas from Qatar. The Net Zero policy got a lot of stick but this months its proven to be very helpful as we go with wind,...

Anna I have read about the Qatar gas field attack, we are all going to suffer for this stupid war started by this cretin.

Grow up, will you!

Toni @toniganzon (75122) • Philippines 20h

Being the youngest in the family, I have always been treated like a child. When I was with friends, I spoke like a matured person. The moment I stepped home, I talked like a kid (the voice, the expression). It wasn't only...

Anna My only brother is younger, so I was the "big sister" the one who had to behave and be good because "he was a baby". My husband treats me like a child, pay attention when you use knives, be careful when you cross the road, do not climb the...

This and that

Judy Story @jstory07 (147851) • Roseburg, Oregon 19h

Judy Story @jstory07 (147851) • Roseburg, Oregon 19h

Anna Kissy Kitty is a cutie! It's sunny and warm here, so I also did laundry this morning. I like to dry it in the sun.

What do you think?

Amber @AmbiePam (115479) • United States 17h

Hey guys. Remember my 14 year old niece, Amyra, who draws? She’s entering another state competition, and this is the piece she is working on. It’s not finished yet. If you can’t tell, it’s a wolf with a sheep behind it. I think...

Anna That bungalow was very pretty. We also bought our house in Switzerland in 1999, the prices are more than double now.

Sometimes, we just need a little treat.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56138) 13h

When it comes to what I eat, I am generally fairly strict with myself. I try to eat as well and as healthy as we can manage, and to not eat much sugar. Most everyone loves sweets, I know. I am not a big candy person, so that...

Anna I try not to overdo with sweets, but I noticed that my husband wants a little treat in the evening after dinner. I bought ice cream a few days ago, but I also made an apple pie.

Do You Ever Feel Like You're Being Watched?

Jehanne @Jehanne (218) 12h

Laundry And The Sun.

rakski @rakski (150143) • Philippines 11h

Yes, the sun is shining ever so brightly. The temperature is increasing every day. As much as I want to deny it, summer is surely here. It is now 31C but it feels like 33C. I was able to do two loads of laundry this morning and...

Anna Same here, the sun is shining, the temperature 16 C, so I did laundry and it's now on the balcony drying in the sun.

Dogs in the snow

Judy Evans @JudyEv (374897) • Rockingham, Australia 11h

I enjoyed reading about the service/assistance dogs that went with their owners to the Winter Paralympics. Among all the discussion was information on how the dogs cope with the very cold conditions. Some of the problems can be...

Anna This dog in your photo is beautiful! Shiny fur and those great eyes! Poor dogs, they suffer if they walk on snow that is been salted to prevent ice formation.

Are you nuts about nuts?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (374897) • Rockingham, Australia 10h

Vince brought home these packets of nuts. They were given to him on Batik airlines. One is Spicy Salted Caramel and the other Cacao Cinnamon. It’s funny how ‘salted caramel’ has become flavour of the year and turns up everywhere....

Anna I am so sorry they had to return to port because of the sick woman. I imagine the poor woman was really sick. I love nuts, particularly almond, hazelnuts and walnuts, but PLAIN!

I found it!

Amber @AmbiePam (115479) • United States 10h
