A smoothie anyone?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (37121) • United States 30 Apr 22

I had two really ripe bananas, even too ripe for a banana sandwich which I love, so I used them and some frozen assorted fruit pieces to make a smoothie. I used orange juice as the liquid (and you know me, I added a little sugar)...

Shanghai Lockdown

Aprilian @Naprilian (20) • Jakarta, Indonesia 26 Apr 22

I recently saw a news about the unending lockdown in Shanghai. The sad thing about this news is that many people are starving because food supplies are running out and groceries are being sold at high prices, regardless of local...

"Dad would have been 80 today"

Stacey @xstitcher (27615) • Petaluma, California 2 Oct 21

My brother reminded me of that when he came over today. Jeez. Dad passed away in 2005. He would be so happy that my brother fathered three boys. Both my brother and I were like my Dad in a lot of ways--though when we were...

MainerMikeBrown Stacey, I'm sorry that your dad passed away back in 2005. My father isn't getting any younger. I'll miss him a lot when he finally passes away someday.

Got Paid Two Days Early

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (104213) • Wheat Ridge, Colorado 2 Oct 21

That's good, now I can pay everybody else. Did you ever get paid earlier than expected? And do you pay your bills on time, or do you let them slide? My excellent payment record gives me top of the line credit,...

MainerMikeBrown I don't believe I've ever been paid earlier than expected. I think I'd remember it if I did. I can honestly say that I've always paid my bills on time. That's one thing that I never let slide.

quiet

Lucky Roo @youfiq (2605) • United States 2 Oct 21

do you like crowd or quiet? In the crowd we can meet many people, but in silence we meet ourselves. learn to know yourself better and look for identity, find the identity that has been missing

How is the crime scenario around you?

Xavier Bage @franxav (13472) • India 2 Oct 21

This is an annual phenomenon in and around the metropolis. The cases of robberies, thefts and snatching begin to rise. This is what I say a pre-puja spurt. The Hindu festival holidays are going to begin soon. In Bengal, Durga...

MainerMikeBrown Here in Maine, United States, the crime rates are low, especially in the rural parts. I live in rural Maine. I like it here for many reasons. One of the reasons is because the crime rate is low around here.

Sophie Heloizee @Softncuddly (1569) 19 Apr 21

Earlier today the daughter gave us a doorbell. The last time we had a doorbell was back in our younger years. Now we have a new one. The sound that it creates is so cute.... Lol

What's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and my coffee time

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38052) • Midland, Michigan 17 Apr 21

I rarely eat breakfast these days but decided maybe I need to have some protein to move the numbers on the scale down a bit more. It's been stuck in the same place for a month. At least I've not gained. I'm having a little bit of...

I put food coloring in my hair

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38052) • Midland, Michigan 9 Apr 21

Not really. But I bought some purple color that will wash out when I wash my hair next. I'm thinking of having my beautician put several pastel colors into my hair when I get my next cut so I thought I'd try this out first. I...

MainerMikeBrown I always eat breakfast each morning. But I always have the same thing for breakfast, a bowl of Cheerios. This morning was no different for me. My last meal, lunch, was a bowl of tomato soup and a chicken salad sandwich.

Angel @AngelisaQT (1362) • United States 26 Feb 21

My anxiety is a little higher than normal right now. Not sure why, I haven't done anything that I am aware of to trigger it. My mind is racing with fearful thoughts. It's very uncomfortable. I've already taken my anxiety...

Simone @Janet357 (76018) 20 Mar 21
