It’s Such a Fine Sight to See!

Four Walls @FourWalls (77960) • United States 8 Aug

If you wonder why today’s “Where’s FourWallsdo” song is “Take It Easy,” it’s because of yesterday evening’s stop: Standin’ on the Corner Park in Winslow, Arizona. And it’s such a fine sight to see!!! A wall from a burned-out...

RUBESH That sounds like such a perfect blend of music history and small-town charm. Standin’ on the Corner Park is one of those spots where a song lyric just jumps off the record and into real life. The mural, statues, and even the parked flatbed Ford make it feel...

I see the pool in my future this morning. How is your Friday shaping up?

The Horse @TheHorse (229794) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Aug

I have only a handful of students this afternoon. It's 9 AM, and it is already about 70 F out. I think we may reach the 90s today. I am going to do a bit more reading about that sex trafficker lady getting sent to a more comfy...

RUBESH As for me, I’d probably be diving into your book project if I were in your shoes. Days like that are great for getting lost in writing, especially with a lighter schedule.

Awkward Situation

Amber @AmbiePam (101800) • United States 8 Aug

I was at the pharmacy, and the pharmacist greeted me by name. This particular pharmacy I’ve used for a good 15 years, so it didn’t surprise me he remembered my name. Then, he asked me (very loudly) how my mom was doing. Well,...

RUBESH That’s such an awkward little human moment — a mix of kindness, mistaken memory, and a dash of public embarrassment. Honestly, you handled it gracefully. You spared him the instant gut-punch of realizing his mistake in front of a crowd, and you let the...

Would You Go Back?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (198195) • United States 8 Aug

Would you go back in time? So many people I've talked to have said no. What's done is done. I'm a better person because of what I've gone through. My past has shaped who I am You can't go back. BUT what if you...

RUBESH you’re touching on something a lot of people wrestle with — that tension between acceptance of the past and the fantasy of a single, surgical edit to it. If we’re speaking hypothetically (and without any time paradoxes or butterfly-effect disasters), choosing...

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (4428) • United Kingdom 16 Jun

Maybe it's because of the job that I have, but I am really bugged when people spell words incorrectly . Not the tricky , uncommon words.....I mean the every day words.... Here are some of my horrors .... Egnore instead of...

RUBESH Absolutely—those kinds of spelling mix-ups can be surprisingly irritating, especially when they involve common, everyday words that people should know. It’s not about being a grammar snob; it’s just jarring when simple mistakes keep showing up. You’ve already...

Where Is My Husband ?

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (53222) • United States 25 Jul

The last week or two there have been days that I barely see my husband. It’s been like we are ships passing in the night. It has been very busy for him at work. He is working tonight, but they called him in early, so it will be a...

I Was Lonely

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (121019) • Marion, Ohio 17 Feb

Free Hand Soap.

rakski @rakski (146441) • Philippines 12 Feb

Last Sunday when we went to the grocery, I saw some sale merchandise. I bought this soap as the take 1 of the same hand soap with lavender scent. All the take 1 are this melon scent. Maybe melon scent is not...

RUBESH That’s funny how the ‘take 1’ turned out to be a different scent! ?? Melon can be a bit hit or miss with soaps, I guess. Personally, I love lavender—it’s so calming and fresh! ?? I also enjoy citrus scents like lemon or orange because they feel so refreshing....

Safety cots - are they still around?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (361162) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Feb

I don’t know anyone with a small baby. Are these safety cots still in use? Our boys had one. The closed-in cot meant they couldn’t fall out of bed and the flywire kept the mosquitoes at bay. I remember ours having teddies and...

RUBESH That brings back memories! ?? Those enclosed cots were such a practical idea—keeping little ones safe while giving parents a few extra minutes of peace before the 'come get me!' cries started. ?? I’m not sure how common they are these days, but I’d guess...

We need to accept other customs and cultures

Judy Evans @JudyEv (361162) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Jan

I sort of promised to write about this but I hope it doesn’t upset too many. Remember, I’m just stating facts. The fact is that, in Peru, guinea pigs are considered a delicacy. They are known there as ‘cuy’ and have been a part...

RUBESH You're absolutely right that it's not about agreeing but respecting traditions that may differ from our own. Just as crickets or grasshoppers might be a no-go for some of us, others might be equally baffled by dishes we consider normal. At the end of the day,...

Are there ideas that haven’t been done?

Amber @AmbiePam (101800) • United States 16 Jan

RUBESH You’re so right—some of the newer show ideas feel like they’re running on fumes. It’s almost like they’re recycling for the sake of filling time slots. There’s definitely room for fresh, creative concepts, but I agree—it can be hard to draw a big audience...

Trying to give this Barbie hair new life

ShannyBananny @shaggin (74252) • United States 16 Jan

I wanted to throw this mermaid Barbie out. My little one chewed the hands and won’t let me cut them off and won’t leave bandaids covering them. It grosses me out so bad. Her father won’t let me throw it out. She gets played with...
