Making chicken soup for my sick husband

Macy @almostoveryou (5232) • Philippines 14h

He's well on the mend but had to take another day off from work so he can fully recover from the flu-like symptoms. The hardworking person that he is, he keeps looking for things to do while at home. I told him to take it easy and...

Marie Coyle Thankfully, no flu here right now. We love chicken soup. Son likes it a lot when he doesn't feel well. I made a small batch of it a few days ago, he has since finished it all. He calls it ''Chicken Soup for the Soul'' and claims it has powers to make people...

Music Obituaries: August 2026

Four Walls @FourWalls (87765) • United States 17h

As you know, every month I celebrate and remember the great and the unknown from the world of music who passed away in the previous month. August was a particularly brutal month, taking six people in halls of fame AND one person...

Marie Coyle A song that really makes a person think. Joshua was harshly judged by the town's people, so he became more and more reclusive. He was just lonely. It's hard to think what gossip and false rumors can do to a person.

Is someone taking advantage of you?

Amber @AmbiePam (127321) • United States 17 Sep

Someone is taking advantage of me, and while I think they know it, I’m not sure they realize to what extent they are doing it. I’m not mad; I’m just a little tired. And, I could put a stop to it. I keep waiting for them to take...

Marie Coyle Yes, I’ve recently been through that. It can be very frustrating. I finally had to just tell the person no, I can’t do that.

Are You Kidding Me?

The Horse @TheHorse (240658) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Sep

I just absorb the rising cost of gas and groceries. Are you able to do the same? I am a middle class American who was smart enough to match any money I made with money from my employers. Retirement looms ahead for all of us. I...

Marie Coyle Tuesday, the lowest price I saw for gas was $4.44 at one station. Wednesday evening, up to $4.85. This is crazy.

Marie Coyle Can you ask that teacher to do things to help, or is she totally clueless? Why are they paying someone like her, who is doing nothing...I hate hearing this. Can you talk to your principal about her?

Yummy Lunch

Amber @AmbiePam (127321) • United States 16 Sep

What did you have for lunch? I had rainbow trout, which is something I haven’t had in seemingly forever. Some of you may be on dinner or breakfast by the time you’re reading this. Do you like fish?

Marie Coyle I love fish. Rainbow trout sounds excellent to me! A few months ago, a friend was on a fishing trip in Montana near where I used to live, he brought some he caught, cleaned and frozen, home to Illinois. Best walleye in the world...it was so, so good.

The Big Apple Songs: The Royal Scam

Four Walls @FourWalls (87765) • United States 16 Sep

Onward we go through the boroughs of New York City. By now you’re wondering what’s in the top ten, given that two of my longtime favorite acts have shown up outside of the top ten! Don’t worry, plenty of favorites...

The Big Apple Songs: One’s On the Way

Four Walls @FourWalls (87765) • United States 15 Sep

Surprise! Sure, you knew Sinatra would be here. Ace Frehley was no shock. But this? As I said a couple of months ago, expanding these countdowns from titles only to the lyrics is very liberating…and that makes for...

Ideal Job

Amber @AmbiePam (127321) • United States 16 Sep

What is the job you always wanted to do? I wouldn’t say I always wanted to do it because as a young child I wasn’t into sports, but during my teenage years I developed an intense interest in basketball, (American) football, and...

Marie Coyle I really wanted to be a nurse or a counselor for children. I also considered being a chef. I ended up with a degree in food service safety and management and I really did like the work and the people. It took me through a lot of years and I did enjoy my job....

Farewell Ellie

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57495) • Canada 16 Sep

Our son's dog, Ellie, had a big mass in her tummy area. She also had infections in her two front paws. It spread upwards and her legs would barely carry her. She was in so much pain and discomfort. As difficult a decision as...

Marie Coyle I am so sorry for the loss of your family’s beloved Ellie. It sounds as if she did have a wonderful life, but that doesn’t make it any easier to go through. I hope she is playing and romping with other pups and we know she has no more pain. Fly high, sweet...

snowy @snowy22315 (212931) • United States 16 Sep

Have you ever hitchhiked?

JB_girl @sol_cee (39095) • Philippines 15 Sep

How on Earth is a Candy Bar 3 1/2 Servings?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (52) • United States 15 Sep
