Grocery run dpme/

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (78950) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Aug

We're back from the store. Despite all of George's challenges, the grocery run took the same length of time, and that included a couple pit stops. I'm not going to complain just yet. I am proud of George, and he feels better about...

What's for din? August 3rd, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65399) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 8h

Tonight’s dinner was… well, let’s call it “planned spontaneity.” I had the meat thawing, so technically I was prepared, but I had zero idea what it was going to become. After a dramatic five-minute stare-down with the pantry, I...

Marie Coyle We had goulash, fresh corn, green salad, and son had homemade bread and butter with his. He thinks he can't eat goulash without bread and butter. Luckily, I could provide what he thought sounded good.

Proof That You’re Famous

Howdy from Norman, Oklahoma! I had a great day with Rogers and Route 66, and I’ll drag you along. Let’s start with Route 66. I stopped to get a look at one of the countless tourist trap things along the road. Afterwards, I...

Marie Coyle I would have had to stop, too. How neat that the sign is there in such a remote area. I believe you about the potholes. Everywhere I go, potholes!

Sometimes I wonder about my sister

snowy @snowy22315 (193900) • United States 8h

Since dementia runs on one side of the family, I pay attention to these things. She just seems like she doesn't make connections with things alot of times. I will send her an email, and she will ask about something that was just...

Marie Coyle Dementia, one of the worst diseases ever. It steals our loved ones and friends away from us. I hope she can remain active and well.

My Friends collection

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124016) • United States 8h

I don't really collect stuff. I mean I guess you could call my cookbooks a collection though I just acquire them because I'm interested in cooking and buy them when I find one that interests me. I have a modest collection of...

Relaxing Sunday

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (120272) • Marion, Ohio 18h

At least I hope. I might get my hanging baskets down and pull the weeds out of them. Some are looking rough because of that. I did put the bigger umbrella in the patio table. I might sit under it today while I get the pots...

This sciatica is kicking my butt

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124016) • United States 19h

Literally. Sciatica is the irritation/inflammation of one of the sciatic nerves which run from your lower back down to your feet. It causes pain, feelings of electric shock, numbness, etc. and typically affects just one side of...

Marie Coyle Your way of handling this reminds me of my Dad. He was so healthy for so many years. Then the Sciatica kicked in. Stubbornly, he refused to go to the doctor at all, and it stressed out my stepmom so much, as well as me. This went on for awhile until one day,...

Marie Coyle I always have to sleep with a blanket. I mean, I cannot sleep without one. My legs have so much neuropathy, that when I lie down, they are cold, so I have to use a blanket to warm them up. We had two really nice days with wonderful temperatures. It starts...

Whacka Doodle Doctors

Amber @AmbiePam (101091) • United States 2 Aug

I want to make clear I’m not talking about my primary care (a nurse practitioner). He’s great, and I’d recommend him to anyone. I’m talking about a specialist I’ve had trouble with, that I can’t switch from right now (long story)....

Marie Coyle We have a local thrift store that I love, with very reasonable prices. It's supported by area churches. Everything is spotlessly clean, they wash all donated items unless the items are brand new. Most clothing is $2, no matter what. It's not but about a mile...

The pool is closed

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124016) • United States 2 Aug

Marie Coyle The rebel in me thinks you should gather your pool buddies and storm the office...and demand a refund of the pool charge you had to pay that you weren't supposed to have to. I wish you could move, and get away from Mr. Smoky and not having to have 3 floors to...

Very Cool Night

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (120272) • Marion, Ohio 2 Aug

It got down in the 50s overnight. Great sleeping weather. I did enjoy having the blanket on the bed. Too chilly for just a sheet. I will make cigarettes and then head out for the livestock auction. Not in a big hurry to leave as...

Marie Coyle I love the temperatures we had since yesterday. Such a nice change from those endless boiling days and still 90 degrees at 9 PM. I wish it would last but it will soon be hot again. Sure is a nice treat! What, no cow? George might like a big buddy to hang out...

Squirrelly Day

Four Walls @FourWalls (77340) • United States 29 Jul

Today was squirrelly, no doubt. The, ahem, highlights included springing my great-nephew from his hospital prison, a mad dash for an air conditioner, and a strange detour. My niece’s A/C broke in her house. Since she’s...

Marie Coyle I am so sorry you have had so many health issues lately. I know you are sick of being sick...I hate being sick. I hope whatever new med the doctor prescribed for you doesn't spike your BP, that's just serious and worrying. Stay inside and rest!

Fire is out.

Judy Story @jstory07 (145316) • Roseburg, Oregon 1 Aug

When we went to bed at 1AM the fire was 50% out. When I woke up at 4AM it was 75% contained. I went online and they still did not know how it got started. When we both woke up at 7AM the fire was out. I sure was glad the fire...

I thought they were burglars.

Marie Coyle We are at 74 and that's the high for the day. So, so different than just two days ago! While the low temps are a welcome respite, we now have smoky wildfire haze and very poor air quality. Which of course, ruins going outside in the good temperatures if you...
