If you’re not familiar, my two nieces and one nephew are adopted. The official day of adoption is called their A Day. Today is Annelyn’s (pictured) A Day! They got her when she was three days old, but the dumb state said, her...

The Final Bill

Amber @AmbiePam (126622) • United States 31 Aug

Well, I went to the dentist and she went over the bill. It’s going to be huge, but about 1/3 of what the other dentist was going to charge. That’s partly because she said if I don’t mind, I can do fine without the bridge. I told...

MandaLee The dentist is always very expensive. I have to pay for mine out of pocket on my credit card. You are blessed to have a great dad. I have a wonderful bonus Dad.

Do you like sweet or spicy barbecue sauce?

snowy @snowy22315 (212708) • United States 31 Aug

I like them both, but I had to pick I would probably go with spicy. There is something about the tang of a spicy sauce. People from other countries may not understand how big barbecue and various sauces is here..especially in...

Can you text your doctor?

Amber @AmbiePam (126622) • United States 7 Nov

The last two primary care medical providers I had/have (nurse practitioners) let you text them when you have questions or requests. It seems they respond even faster to that than calling to leave a message or going through their...

What?

Anne Marie Guyer @LeaPea2417 (40010) • Toccoa, Georgia 2 Sep 25

I have never been so surprised and saddened by a headline on the News. I live in Georgia and everyone here has heard of the AJC The Atlanta Constitution Newspaper. It has been around for over a hundred years. Well guess what?...

MandaLee What a sad sign of the times that we are living in to see the printed newspaper going away. I live in the DC area and it saddens me to see so many people dropping their subscription to the printed Washington Post in favor of digital.

Stewed apple and custard……

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (13625) • United Kingdom 3 Sep 25

Well, I haven’t had this pudding for ages. We have had so many apples on the tree this year it has been amazing. We have already given some away. Mom made stewed apple and then she made some delicious custard. A real showstopper...

I like the monthly tradition.

Amber @AmbiePam (126622) • United States 2 Sep 25

My dad and his wife drove two hours today to have lunch with his 10 living siblings (he’s 15th of 16 kids). Once a month they all meet for lunch. He’s the only one that doesn’t live in the Tulsa are, so he doesn’t come every...

Okay, the inspector from OACAC was here this morning and is finished with the inspection... Everything checked out fine except for the two storm windows. The inspector measured those and found them to be 5/16th of an inch too wide...

Cloudy Morning

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (140204) • Marion, Ohio 25 Jul 25

That might keep it a little cooler today. But the humidity is so high that it's dripping out of the air. So it feels stuffy. Hope there is a nice breeze blowing through the building at the auction. That would feel great. This is...

So yesterday morning I went downstairs to leave for my appointment. There is a box to the side of the bottom of the stairs that was not there as late as 11:45pm the night before. And I just knew it was one of the things that had...

Off to play tunes with Hair of the Dawg.

After a relaxing Easter, I am off to play some music with my mates today. Our bass player, Rod, is still out of town, but I'll probably be on guitar, not bass, anyway. I hope everyone had a reasonable Easter. Mine was quiet. I...

I took a nap this morning

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (170518) • United States 12 Jan 24

On work days I get up at 5 a.m. or slightly sooner. I did that today. Then at about 6 a.m. we learned there was no school. By 8:30 a.m. I was ready for a nap and I took it. I watched a little bit of a movie with Bob. Now he is...

So Daylight Savings Time is a Bad Thing?

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29319) • Eugene, Oregon 12 Mar 23

In the US, at midnight on Saturday, we sprang ahead. It was suddenly 1 AM. I am always glad when that happens. When I worked, I hated coming home in darkness at 5 PM. With DST, it stays light until nearly 10 PM in mid-summer....

MandaLee I like daylight savings time. When they tried DST year round in the 70's, it did not work. I don't think we should have DST year round and never change our clocks.
