Mondays Seem to be When Mother-in-Law Has Meltdowns

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (33) • United States 8h

This is the third Monday in a row that called us around 6 pm after her dinner and had a meltdown over the phone. She's saying again that someone stole something from her room, which they didn't. This time she's saying it's two...

LindaOH Michael is right. Go with the flow and let her rant. My MIL was convinced that my FIL was having an affair and that the woman was stealing from her. Of course that wasn't true.

I swear I don't swear!

Toni @toniganzon (75731) • Philippines 9h

Do you curse, swear, use foul language or profanities? One rule in our home when I was a kid was to never utter such words. The moment mom heard a single foul word or swearing, she'll slap our mouth. An elementary classmate of...

LindaOH I don't swear. My husband never wanted to hear those words come out of my mouth.

Despite seeming impossible to do, have you ever said the wrong thing?

Amber @AmbiePam (116849) • United States 9h

A discussion by @JudyEv brought to mind an incident my maternal grandfather told me once. He was always vocal about not liking rhubarb in anything. I myself never tried rhubarb in any form until I tried Strawberry Rhubarb Poppi...

A funny sign

Judy Evans @JudyEv (376644) • Rockingham, Australia 10h

One of the people selling wares at the Nungarin markets had a collection of signs for sale. I thought this one was quite funny. We have a few ‘ocker’ (redneck Australians, I guess) who can’t talk without swearing. They don’t even...

LindaOH Cousin #2 can't speak without swearing. A rhubarb cake sounds yummy. House sitting for a greyhound sounds fun.

Type setting

Fleur @Fleura (34499) • United Kingdom 11h

In my last post I wrote about the man with the assorted printing presses; well, on the other side of the small passageway, behind another door, a similar but somewhat shorter and greyer oldish man with specs and overalls was...

LindaOH Interesting. It still surprises me that this type of printing is still in demand.

Reach the top and ring the bell

Judy Evans @JudyEv (376644) • Rockingham, Australia 11h

The photo shows a rock-climbing frame which entertained the kids at Nungarin Military Museum. I didn’t see any adults attempting the climb. There is a slightly darker section towards the top where the frame angles out, adding to...

LindaOH There weren't climbing walls around when I was a kid. I couldn't take the heights.

A nasty-looking sawfish rostrum

Judy Evans @JudyEv (376644) • Rockingham, Australia 12h

What you see in the photo is the rostrum of a sawfish, also known as carpenter sharks. These very large rays have a long, narrow, flattened rostrum with sharp transverse teeth that resemble a saw. Some species reach lengths of 7 –...

LindaOH Fascinating facts. Thank you for the post.

A free ride for many

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (50807) • Staten Island, New York 17h

When our mayor (Mamdani) ran for mayor of NYC he promised people that buses will be free. That’s never going to happen but for many the buses are actually free because they refuse to pay. Some get on the bus without paying, not...

LindaOH I too understand why the bus drivers stay silent. It's best that they don't start a confrontation.

A Tough Morning

Amber @AmbiePam (116849) • United States 18h

I wasn’t sure I was going to mention this, but Mylot has made me feel better in the past, so why not. This morning I was hit by an overwhelming feeling of missing my mother, who will have been gone 11 years May fourth. On the...

LindaOH You know you are always welcome to vent or to share your feelings here. I'm sorry you were feeling such grief. I took out my husband's funeral card and read the verse on Sunday. It started me crying in earnest. You never truly get over someone's death...

Good afternoon from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's 35 F right now, though it might have gotten warmer earlier. Though it is hard to tell with the cool breeze. The sun is shining in the late afternoon. I hope you all had a...

LindaOH I'm glad there was good news about the EKG and Stress Test. Congratulations on publishing Guns of War. My Easter was very quiet. It was just me.

Have you watched a kite flying festival?

Pitstop @pitstop (15507) • Australia 20h

There's a kite flying festival every Easter weekend here at a beach about 30 minutes away. This is the third year I've attended and it was great. It rained one of the days and the wind was slow on the day I visited, but there were...

The Wind Returned

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (132369) • Marion, Ohio 20h

So that made it feel cooler outside. But I still got some more of the dirt shoveled out of the pool and into pots. It will get set back up in a new place this week. But tomorrow is supposed to be colder so I might not do anything...

snowy @snowy22315 (205542) • United States 20h

It was kind of a whirlwind trip, but my trips there are always fairly short because I don't like to leave my cat for very long. Fortunately, he was fine, and barely acted like we had been gone. Sometimes he seems scared or clingy,...

Are you a jealous person?

Toni @toniganzon (75731) • Philippines 20h

Nephew asked me how it was for my parents when my mom got jealous whenever there's a woman hovering over dad. I told him the truth. It was chaos. My mom was such a nag. But there's a lot of love between them too. It's just that...

I've Found a Good Tasting Flavored Seltzer Water

Crawdads are crayfish. They are prolific from April, May, and June and are very popular in areas along rivers, fresh water, streams, and lakes. It just so happens that they are extremely popular in New Orleans where she’s going...
