Marie Coyle I commented on this and hit the respond button...it disappeared. Only mentioning it in case the first comment decides to appear, maybe I did something weird. I am having that kind of day, anyway. That is a lot of snow, and now more is on the way? I hope you...

Four Walls @FourWalls (82454) • United States 12h

Oh, does Chuy’s taste good after ten days away!!! Thankfully, they were busy enough to not have to declare bankruptcy while I was out sick and snowed in. Here’s another person we lost in 2025 who is known for his...

Marie Coyle As you know, I am a huge history buff. I read his book, Five Days In November. Very good and it is from his own perspective, and worth reading. I was a little girl, but I remember moments from that day. Grandpa never cried, but he did that day, and so did...

Not gonna be able to get out today!!

snowy @snowy22315 (202051) • United States 10h

Not tomorrow or the weekend either. It like walking on an iceberg in front of my house. I had moved the car further down the driveway just to check if it would move..but I can't,t get to it. It is worse walking than the other...

Marie Coyle Oh, no...I am glad you are not going to attempt it and risk falling on the ice. But yes, if you need things, it wouldn't be imposing to ask the neighbor. Didn't you say they have a truck? Maybe they are going out anyway, and wouldn't mind picking up an order...

I Decided To Take Another COVID Test

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (50) • United States 11h

Which is silly, really, because if the old test I have doesn't test for the new strains, it's going to say negative again anyway. But this really "feels" like COVID to me. And maybe I test too early Tuesday where it wouldn't...

Update on Her Mom is Killing Her Dad

Amber @AmbiePam (111397) • United States 12h

So, if you didn’t read my discussion yesterday, I’ll briefly recap: my childhood best friend’s dad is in the hospital. He was somewhat out of his mind (you can go back and read about it if you want), and has several health...

Marie Coyle Oh wow. I would have thought that there would be more follow up. If you get down to the nitty gritty here, on one of the crash cart episodes if he had died,it could have been discovered that he had medication they didn’t administer to him, then an...

This place is nuts

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126127) • United States 14h

I mean we all knew that already. The faculty rooms haven’t had jugs of water for like 2 weeks. They “forgot” to order it. Um isn’t that something you just do every month. It’s not like the volume changes from...

Marie Coyle I think at this point you can all protest. Tell the person in charge that you can’t work without supplies. Good grief, enough already.

Let Me Explain What Type of Care Mother-in-Law Is Getting

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (50) • United States 28 Jan

Mother-in-law is/was a shopaholic. She went though money like water. She didn't have any money, any retirement, any savings. She lived on Social Security alone and spent every penny of it each month. But her husband, my...

Marie Coyle This is absolutely incredible, coverage and care like that is pretty much unheard of these days. Especially adding in the medical needs and care. I know she is really progressing quickly and it's so sad to watch, she is no doubt so confused and scared at times...

Five Minutes

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (128699) • Marion, Ohio 28 Jan

That's how long it took me to get dressed to go outside this morning. It takes time to get those different layers pulled on and I am tired of it. I will do it an extra time today since we need to take George horse a bale of hay....

I'm looking forward to my 'alone' 'time

Judy Evans @JudyEv (370206) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Jan

In my last post I mentioned that Vince has gone to Thailand for a fortnight. I was surprised that members thought I might be lonely being on my own for that time. It’s very kind of you all to be concerned but I really enjoy time...

Marie Coyle Oh, I know a person can really enjoy the ''me'' time! Some people never want to be alone, but I do enjoy me time, for sure. It's just hard to come by right now. But for now that's just how it is, and we will get through this. Enjoy your time and do some...

Good evening from cold Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's cold out there with the temperature at 5 F with the wind chill at -17 F. It's been a good day. I did spend a little time with you this morning and on WordPress. I know I...

Being Worried Kept me Off MyLot

DianneN @DianneN (247616) • United States 26 Jan

Not hearing from our older son, and not hearing the truth for a while, proved a shock to us. To make a long story as short as I possibly can, he was working as Global Chief Compliance Officer, Senior Assistant General Counsel,...

I have had it with this dishwasher

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126127) • United States 28 Jan

It wasn't draining the other day so I made a point of thoroughly rinsing all of the filters with hot water and ordering Cascade dishwasher cleaning pods. The filters are clean but the cleaning pods have not yet been delivered....

Marie Coyle Honestly, they do not make appliances to last anymore. They throw them together with cheap parts and plastic and think it will work, and it's pretty sad. I do run an empty load once a month with a strong white vinager wash. It helps the inside, the...

The Truck Headache.

April @thislittlepennyearns (66079) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 28 Jan

The thing that took up the most time today was the dealership to deal with the truck. We weren't there to actually get the truck fixed. We were there so they could diagnose it. We got there at 815 this morning and left at 1230....

Does Anybody Here Sell Things on Poshmark?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (50) • United States 28 Jan

Someone mentioned to me that I should sell some of mother-in-law's nicer things she donated on Poshmark. I think I used that site once or twice several years ago but I'd forgotten all about it. On the one hand, somebody could be...

Marie Coyle That's insane. They shouldn't have had school with conditions like that. If you do go, take your coworker up on the offer of a ride, then he/she can help you into the building. Good grief. A recipe for disaster.

Back to Guitar Center.

The Horse @TheHorse (234308) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Jan

Yesterday's music practice was fun. Today it's back to Guitar Center. I have no idea what the level of chaos will be there, but I will do the best I can. How is your Tuesday shaping up?

Marie Coyle If the Guitar Center stays chaotic, couldn’t you just give private lessons? Might be way better than all the craziness you are currently experiencing.
