3 more days to go

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127180) • United States 6h

and then I will be on summer break until Sept 1st! This week is all half days but there are no final exams any longer so it is pretty much just chaos. I'm just showing movies at this point--Outbreak or Contagion. Tomorrow I need...

Marie Coyle It sounds like this last week of half-days is not really accomplishing much except trying to babysit the kids. It's too bad they can't turn the week of half-days into 2 or 3 full days and just get it over with!

Fun and done

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69229) • Centralia, Washington 19h

Tradition: carrot cake for hubby's birthday. Will this be our final carrot cake? It takes a good effort to make one. He ground the wheat flour yesterday. I got up this morning and grated three cups of carrots on the hand...

Marie Coyle Messy cake or no, I bet it was delicious. Sounds like a fun time and a houseful of people. Yesterday and today were not hot, it was such a welcome respite from those steamy days we've had, and more of those are soon to be here again. I am not going to be...

Songs Mentioning the Beatles: Pop Hates the Beatles

Four Walls @FourWalls (86875) • United States 15 Jun

Someone accurately predicted this song would show up. It’s easy to see why this one is a shoo-in: it’s a comedic tune, and it mentions the Beatles in the title. So congratulations, @mininifty you win the psychic award....

Back from yoga and a score

snowy @snowy22315 (209167) • United States 15 Jun

So, friend is coming tomorrow and I picked up a couple of things he likes to eat at Food Lion. He simply has to have low calories orange juice and yogurt as well as bananas but I have those. He also goes for blueberries but they...

Marie Coyle That's nice that he is coming to visit and that you got some things for him to eat. We love blueberries. I have some dried blueberries that we put on our oatmeal, they are so good. My cousin brought them to us this last spring, tiny little wild blueberries...

Capsaicin Use

Amber @AmbiePam (121139) • United States 15 Jun

So last week my pain management doctor moved my appointment from last week to this week. Which meant, of course, I ended up with no pain medication, at least until this Wednesday. It’s been quite a painful week, but today it got...

Marie Coyle As you may remember, I am highly allergic to all things hot pepper. The only peppers I can eat are bell peppers and those tiny sweet peppers. The others cause my throat to close so I have to be careful. I hope it helps you, I hate to think of you in pain all...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 15 Jun

Church & Flamingoes

Amber @AmbiePam (121139) • United States 14 Jun

Well, I didn’t sleep much last night, but was fine to go to church. I put on some new slacks and a new shirt I got to review, and went on there. Today our speaker was the children’s pastor, and for some reason when he was talking...

Marie Coyle It’s fun to wear cheerful clothes sometimes. I’m kind of a boring blue jean person. I do have some favorite shirts/tops. And it’s neat that you wore flamingos!

While in search of the Jimmy Buffett license plate I’m having lunch at Chuy’s and ready to spring another song on you that gives a reference to the Beatles. In this case, just one Beatle, and the one I’m celebrating this month....

Disgusting

Anne Marie Guyer @LeaPea2417 (40061) • Toccoa, Georgia 14 Jun

I can't stand UFC, any kind of boxing and wrestling. I know there are people who like it but for those who like it, you have to admit it is highly tacky and classless for Trump to have that UFC fight on the White House Lawn for...

Marie Coyle He has turned the historic beautiful White House into a cheap tacky looking disaster. Complete with more tacky gold filigree everywhere and a fighting cage. Destroyed the Rose Garden. Makes my heart hurt.

It rained last night, and the thief stayed away.

Amber @AmbiePam (121139) • United States 14 Jun

It did storm last night, but it was a fairly gentle storm and the electricity didn’t even flicker. Occasionally, the storms just leave us stickier outside, but this time it was much nicer outside afterwards. I know this because I...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (135988) • Marion, Ohio 14 Jun

Marie Coyle It's a lot cooler outside today here. Only in the 70's, a very welcome respite from the heat. Yum, watermelon! Hey, maybe George would dig that hole for the clothesline pole. He should be earning his treats.

Marie Coyle MRI's are painless....is it the drive, can someone take you there? It's pretty hard to refuse an MRI before a cancer surgery, as they are going to want to have that test to pinpoint the cancer. Darn, I wish there was an easy fix for you to get the MRI. Just...

I could be doing housework

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169585) • United States 13 Jun

Marie Coyle Sometimes, the caregiver needs care, too. It's OK to take breaks when you can. I could be doing some work here around home right now, too. But I just don't want to. As you said, it will still be there on Monday.

Who taught you to cook?

Amber @AmbiePam (121139) • United States 13 Jun
