Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 18 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. Ugh. The high for today is 34. I hate this weather. It is another day of work. My coworker is driving me in again since...

Marie Coyle We have a bit of sun today and supposed to reach 35 degrees. That's a heat wave compared to what we have had lately! How many chances do these students get to do their tutoring? Attending one out of four sessions doesn't seem like they are trying very hard,...

But I got lots of goodies. A huge box of Oreo cookie snack packs, 8 dozen eggs, 20 of my dinosaur eggs, 5 boxes of balls with gummies and a toy in them. 3 boxes of cereal, 5 bags of marshmallows, a box of slim jims, and a pair of...

Marie Coyle @wolfgirl569 We got a lot of snow and the roads were so bad. Plows couldn’t keep up.

I am using my tablet right now. I kept searching using my phone and found some suggestions. One was resetting your internet settings. As it started after I put the new one in I tried that and right now am typing this on my phone....

Short rains in western Kenya are often accompanied by swarms of flying termites which come from ant hills or flat underground ant nests. The same happened this week and we used many ways to trap them. They are a fatty delicacy...

I got shocked this morning about the news of Rob Reiners and his wife murder. Not only that, but it seems their oldest son may have either done it or had it done. What a betrayal! I am so blessed and thankful, I got my heat...

Marie Coyle @snowy22315 When I make them, we wrap them in waxed paper and then stack them in a ziploc in the freezer. They are very good and work in the toaster just fine.

I just can't even fathom this. It happened on I-95 near Cocoa, Florida Monday. A small plane, carrying the pilot and one passenger, landed on a Toyota Camry. What's even more unbelievable is that no one died. The driver of the...

Marie Coyle @celticeagle Yes, of course, but all planes can be a problem. I personally think a lot of the problems people have is maintenance, but I could be wrong on that.

Marie Coyle @SIDIKIMPOLE I know that it sounds weird, but to me, they are invasive bugs that eat wood and hurt structures. If they all disappeared, it would be fine with many people. Here, most homes have to be treated for termites so that they will not arrive to chew up...

Marie Coyle @JudyEv It was very hard for me to surprise my Dad with a gift when he was alive. He never really wanted anything. He loved the little things my children gave him more than anything.

We knew we were supposed to have a very cold and snowy weekend. It's morphed into somewhat of a whopper! The forecast originally said, 1-3 inches of snow. Then, it went to 2-4, then 3-5. It's been snowing pretty much all day,...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck It was still very cold with a lot of wind and blowing snow today. But tomorrow it will get just a bit above freezing for an hour or two, so it will start to melt. The downside of that for the day will be the temperature is to go diving back down so...

Marie Coyle I love the candlestick. So unique and different! Well, like you said, your intentions were good. We all make mistakes on gift giving sometimes. All we can do is our best. You put love and a lot of thought into it, that's what really mattered.

The Liberal press is claiming that President Donald Trump posted harsh words, not sympathy and acknowledgement, after the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife. Rob Reiner was "Meathead" on the classic '70s TV show. "All in the...

Marie Coyle Back in the day I used to make tons of goodies, but I don't anymore. I make a very few. I don't really want them sitting around and we don't need them...and people bring them by for a gift, etc. I usually make cookies and a dessert for Christmas, but that's...

I love a good potluck. The Christmas gathering with my dad’s side of the family is always ham, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, and chicken and dumplings. But I could live without the entrees. Give me side dishes all day: dressing...

Marie Coyle When I go to a potluck type of dinner, I do hit the salads hard. I like to choose foods I haven't had for awhile, rather than the same old stuff. If I do try a dessert, I am usually too full to enjoy it so I try to make it a tiny one!

No, not my grandma. I no longer have any grandmas. What I am referring to is a silly Christmas song that for some reason has really stuck in my mind. The song is “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer,” sung by Elmo and Patsy. It is...
