I’m living on popsicles.

Amber @AmbiePam (120723) • United States 10 Jun

Yesterday, it was 97 F (36 C) and the heat index was 105 F (41 C). I have been living on popsicles for weeks with this heat: watermelon, grape, coconut, and peach. It does help. Do you guys eat popsicles, and what kind do you...

Marie Coyle Sadly, she will continue to be completely convinced that people are stealing from her, until her brain advances to the final stages of Alzheimer's. Such a mean, sad disease it is! But I am glad she was in a good mood.

I love healthy food.

Amber @AmbiePam (120723) • United States 10 Jun

Oh, I love the food I had about an hour ago. I don’t have a desktop, and I needed to use one so I went to my dad’s house. They weren’t there, but I knew that, and I’ve always been welcome anytime (as long as I don’t touch the air...

Marie Coyle Junk food and me don't mix well, either. I totally understand craving the good stuff. I went so long without eating anything fried that now I can barely tolerate fried foods--occasionally I indulge in sweet potato fries or one piece of fried fish or chicken,...

Marie Coyle I haven't added any new foods lately, but I am most generally good with trying foods I've never tried. I have to watch the hot and spicy, and can't eat that, but that's something I'm used to doing. I LOVE avocados. But like all produce, they are not cheap...

Extra Food

Amber @AmbiePam (120723) • United States 10 Jun

So I order my groceries to be delivered, and today when I went outside to get them (they leave them at your door without talking to you if you want), I saw I had extra: two cases of Lipton green tea and a huge box of French toast...

Marie Coyle We have had an incredible amount of rain the past two days. I think some of my garden stuff is swamped out...I hope not, but it's a big muddy mess out there. I hope you have a great day, a free lunch is always good, too.

What games do you play online?

snowy @snowy22315 (208875) • United States 10 Jun

I have a lot downloaded, but the only ones I play on a regular basis are Snake Clash and Words With Friends. They are both enjoyable for different reasons. What games do you regularly play?

Marie Coyle I don't play online games. A few sound interesting, but I honestly prefer to read books if I have any spare time, so I make that a priority. I have always been a huge reader, I hope I always will be. Plus, I am online enough with several other sites, texts...

I've Got My Nights and Days Mixed Up

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (63) • United States 9 Jun

I've been doing great for several months and now suddenly these past several days my sleeping pattern is off. I slept in late, very late, this morning, which I NEVER do. Now it's just past 10 pm and I can't seem to go to...

Are Gas Prices Really DOWN in the San Francisco Bay Area?

The Horse @TheHorse (238298) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Jun

When I got back from Montana last Summer, gas prices were hovering around $4.50/gallon here in the Bay Area. The cynical among us joked that gas pries would be $5/gallon by the Fall. It turned out we were "right." Then we...

Marie Coyle Ours went down for a couple of days, but they are climbing back up. The four stations closest to me today--two of them were $4.87, the other two were $4.95. We were at $4.99 for a long time.

Marie Coyle Asheville is so beautiful, a true one-of-a-kind place to visit. So many go to see the Biltmore, which I have been through, but there are a lot of other things to do there, too. Plus, it's so scenic. Have the BEST time, Karen!

Somewhere in Time

Toni @toniganzon (77137) • Philippines 9 Jun

Cheese and crackers for supper.

Marie Coyle I’m just not hungry, but I will eat something later-probably lentil soup and crackers. I got hot when I had to be outside for awhile earlier and when I get hot, it sometimes kills my appetite. I love cheddar cheese. Extra sharp is my favorite.

I received 3 dozen duck eggs

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127128) • United States 9 Jun

Here's what the Knee Doctor Said

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (63) • United States 9 Jun

Marie Coyle They don't like to stitch/repair those meniscus tears if you are over 50, at least that is what my friend was told. From what her doctor said, it is usually successful, but the repair doesn't hold for long at all. If your knee locks up, they will fix the knee...

Would you ever allow your body to be composted?

snowy @snowy22315 (208875) • United States 9 Jun

That seems to be the thing that is being touted now both for environmental reasons and because it is a cheaper alternative to both traditional burials and cremation. I don't like the idea of my body rotting under some kind of...

Marie Coyle I thought about this and I can't do it. I want to be cremated. Most traditional burials are, to me, way over the top--at least the ones I have been to have been. I have a problem with dressing the deceased in fancy clothing, someone covering them with...
