I just got out of the tub and gave George a second tube feeding. We bought a head of letice today which I'll have to wash off, and he might want to do something with it. Honestly, I'm glad to see him taking an interest in...

Marie Coyle @kaylachan It sounds as if he knows what you are thinking at times, too. As you said, you celebrate the little progresses, and George keeps trying. It's all you can do.

For the record, I live and work in suburban California right now. I have NOT been attacked by ICE agents or National Guard troops, nor have I witnessed Mexicans being rounded up in the Mexican neighborhood near where I live. But...

Marie Coyle @TheHorse I try hard to be objective, but then I am not going to ignore the obvious, either.

Marie Coyle @snowy22315 I just can't. I am not a ''scaredy cat'' but some of those movies are just horrible. They really do give me nightmares.

At the cabin, I was crouching a bit to spray paint a lower log when it went partially out. Yesterday, I was just walking, and it blew out. I am getting by with one crutch. I can put a bit of pressure on it, but the pain is pretty...

Marie Coyle @TheHorse Many, many US citizens are not all white, as you know. All I know is it's just all wrong...so many things are happening, and it's hard to keep up--and when you do make every attempt to keep up, often it's way worse than you thought.

Most people I know here in the US are saying that they are. Once upon a time, a chuck roast (here in the US we often call it pot roast) was a very affordable dinner. A person could afford a fairly large chunk for a reasonable...

Marie Coyle @rsa101 Sometimes, people split up but don't bother with a divorce it seems--until they find someone they want to marry, and then they get one.

We had a big day of appointments. Finally made it back home, and after dinner son said ''let's watch something different'' so I scanned the vintage movies. Normally, they aren't his favorite, but I told him about ''Spencer's...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I think so, too. The world some people live in doesn't seem real to the ones who have so little. Somehow, it all needs to be put on a level that they can understand each other.

Spring has come. And my legs won´t let me go up to where the vaccuum cleaner is. My room is in great need of a better cleaning and maybe a spray with Raid to kill bugs. Yesterday I killed a tiny spider in my bed and today I found...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I've used vinegar and baking soda as well. Also, boiling water. I think those little bitty flies are made of cast iron. They don't even seem to die when they are swatted--you have to get sneaky.

Hello friends. Netflix is showing Little Women and of course I´m watching it again. And there are several sentences that show me how we take so many things for granted. Mrs. Marsh explained to Jo about the difference between men...

Marie Coyle @marguicha I remember one episode of the TV series of Little House was about a young boy, his parents were slaves. He had run away from them because even though they were free, they still couldn't go to school, and he wanted to go to school. And he was sad...

One thing I am really happy about is that it has been years since I have seen a pay toilet. How cheap can you be to charge for using one? However, I realize water and maintenance is not free, so I can kind of sympathize for...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck One of my daughter's friends was running in flip flops, chasing her toddler son. She tripped and landed so hard she had 3 breaks in her leg and was laid up for months...and that's just one instance I know of, I have no desire to wear them at all.

I've spoken here about my neighbor, who buys things constantly--she is a wild shopaholic and likes to order things online as well. Often, this backfires and she gives it away when she discovers she doesn't like it. I have tried to...

I am seeing more instances of children, usually about ages 9 or 10, to 12 or so, out begging. They ask for ''a few dollars'' from everyone they can. Often you can see them talking to someone through a car window, and when they see...

Marie Coyle @LindaOHio I imagine what he will do is beg. Many seem to think a fairly new widow lady is a soft target. He will no doubt tell you that your saying no to him is ok and he still cares, yada, yada....maybe I am being overly cautious, but hey...if his shoe...
