Rough Night

Amber @AmbiePam (111802) • United States 23h

I went to bed early last night, but tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep around 3am. I dreamed about the funeral of my friend’s dad, which has not happened yet (he’s on hospice). It’s going to be 62 degrees today (17 C)...

Wheee! A couple of earthquakes this morning.

The Horse @TheHorse (234499) • Walnut Creek, California 22h

As I was waking up this morning, we had a series of small earthquakes. I felt two of them, about half an hour apart. There was no preliminary jolt for either, as there sometimes is here. And neither was strong enough to get my...

Anna I hope not strong earthquakes. It seems that minor earthquakes are a blessing, they prevent a major event.

Anna Be sure your phone and keyboard are charged and within close range. Try turning off and on the Bluetooth on both devices. Try to unpair them and then pair again using the correct pairing code. (Often the code is "0000" or "1234."). Good luck.

Did anyone watch the Grammys?

Amber @AmbiePam (111802) • United States 19h

I did not, and I never do. In fact, while I’ve seen the Oscars a couple of occasions in my life, I have never watched the Grammys. I guess if you enjoy some (not all) lip synching, barely their clothing, and political comments...

What an adventure

snowy @snowy22315 (202290) • United States 17h

Well, despite it being close to 40 degrees today, it is still treacherous out there. I did manage to escape though and got some groceries, and went out to a restaurant for a change of scenery. However, the roads in this...

Anna It's snowing here today, I do not plan to go out until I see that the road has not been cleaned. Be careful walking on the iced path, I know how much it can be dangerous. You really had plenty of snow in the US this year.

Honestly, this nonsense must stop

Falling iguanas in Florida

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54260) 15h

If you follow news here in the US, you know that Florida, as well as other states, is having an unusual winter. They are not set up for cold like us northerners. Many species of wildlife live there that count on the warm...

Do you have any invasive species in your area?

Amber @AmbiePam (111802) • United States 14h

So @MarieCoyle was mentioning the non native species in Florida (pythons and iguanas) that are harming the environment. It made me think of the non native species we have in Oklahoma wreaking havoc. The major one is feral hogs....
