If you noticed, there was no teaser for a new music countdown for May. There is a good reason for that. I’m on the road right now, and it really is difficult to do both. Some days when I’m doing laundry I have a hard time...

Marie Coyle You will never be old. You are too young at heart! This song is great. I thought it was neat that it was used in the movie, Home Alone. The title and the song go together.

Do you consider a $9 coffee to be an "affordable experience"?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126971) • United States 11h

The CEO of Starbucks was recently asked about the price of the company's drinks. He claimed that the company was doing well with millenials and Gen Z customers with cups of coffee that start as low as $3 and then rise as they are...

Smokey Bones Restaurant Has Gone Out of Business

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (57) • United States 14h

I don't know if they had this chain restaurant in your area or not. It was an American barbecue restaurant franchise chain. They had been in business for 27 years. They started out being owned by Darden Restaurants, which is...

Marie Coyle Many restaurants are closing a lot of locations. Pizza Hut is slated to like 250 stores in the US in the next few months. Wendy's is closing hundreds this year as well. Red Lobster and Outback plan to shut down some locations.. I am sure there are others. With...

I feel tired

snowy @snowy22315 (206837) • United States 14h

Not tired like I want to sleep, but unenergetic. I honestly didn't sleep super well last night or the night before which may be motivating this. I should be out doing my steps. It is a very nice day for it, and I want to burn up...

Marie Coyle I felt pretty good yesterday, as for the first time in days and days I actually had a decent night's sleep. But that didn't happen last night, and a nap is sounding so good later...time will tell. If you are dragging, rest a bit. It sure does help me when I...

All the good ones

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (68892) • Centralia, Washington 15h

Anybody remember Pete Seeger and Burl Ives? Glen Yarbrough? Activists and sometimes mellow. A merry band of troubadours. Daughter grew up with Pete. We're headed to our favorite bakery this afternoon to celebrate Beltane....

Marie Coyle Of course I remember them. Burl Ives was from the area in southern Illinois that I lived in for a long time. He is buried in Jasper County, IL, in a tiny cemetery. I have stopped to see his resting place. There is also a Burl Ives bridge that is on a state...

I Can't Bear This Type Of Scenario.

Md. Rakibuzzaman @MRRSPMMTZOWE3 (64) 29 Apr

Baked quail for dinner

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (51517) • Staten Island, New York 30 Apr

I finally defrosted two of the six quail so that’ll be my dinner. I’ve never made quail before so I hope it’ll turn out good. I don’t want to overcook it, but I also don’t want it raw. After doing a search online, it seems I have...

Marie Coyle We had a good friend who loved quail and he was a hunter. Every year he would bring us some, all cleaned and dressed out and ready to cook or put in the freezer. They were just delicious.

Colors of autumn

Pitstop @pitstop (15542) • Australia 30 Apr

In the southern hemisphere, it's coming to the end of autumn. The leaves have almost fallen, but some trees are still holding on to their colourful foliage. I walked through the Botanical Garden a few days ago and some of the...

Wonderful Wednesday

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (55884) • Canada 29 Apr

Today has been just a wonderful Wednesday. Outstanding is what I would refer to it as. Our deep freezer was getting awfully low on beef. I placed an order in March, and I called them yesterday as there isn't...

Marie Coyle We eat very little beef. It's just wildly expensive here. Glad you were able to stock up and you will have nice meats to eat for quite some time.

marguicha @marguicha (230132) • Chile 30 Apr

Hello dear friends. Yesterday Martín came. He was thin. I don´t know if it was part of his long cold or if it is because his parents are away and he doesn´t eat properly. He came at noon and made himself 2 sandwichs while he...

Marie Coyle It does sound like Martin is struggling to get enough to eat. He knows you will feed him if he visits, he is your special friend, I know. And even though Diego didn't come, at least he has some work he can do while he is trying to get a better job. I love...

Foiled by my Jimmy Buffett blanket!

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126971) • United States 30 Apr

One of the things that I asked my ex to bring to me after I got settled in here was my Jimmy Buffett fleece blanket. It has the covers of over a dozen of his albums on it. I wanted to have something in my room that reminded me of...

Calls for Roast!

Amber @AmbiePam (118473) • United States 30 Apr

It was so nice being sent home some food from my dad and Diana’s house. She had made roast with potatoes, carrots, and celery, plus squash casserole. I know squash casserole doesn’t sound great, but it’s absolutely delicious....

What's that smell?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126971) • United States 30 Apr

Man I was going crazy today. I noticed some weird burned electric smell during the 2.5 hour clinical session. I discreetly tried to smell my shirt, my sweatpants, my bag, etc. I couldn't find the source of the smell! I thought...

Marie Coyle That sort of happened to me once. I received a gift of a new set of bath towels from Kohl’s. I opened the package and a chemical type of smell hit me hard. I asked my neighbor to smell them, and her comment was to take them to Kohl’s and tell them to smell...

A $100,000 income qualifies as "lower-middle class" in several US states

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126971) • United States 30 Apr

For real. Most people consider that to be a fairly comfortable income though obviously not "rich" or "upper class". Pew Research Center has defined "middle class" as 2/3 or double the median income in a state. "Lower-middle class"...

Prepping to be away for a couple of months

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126971) • United States 30 Apr

A Whole Lot of Blood and an Overall Bad Day

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (57) • United States 30 Apr
