Well dang! A loud explosion rocks Pleasant Hill CA!

The Horse @TheHorse (228162) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Jul

I was in bed just now,,trying to catch my beauty rest. At 10 PM,a loud explosion rocked my apartment. It sounded like it was to the Northeast of me, and I felt the pressure wave. A car alarm went off as sometimes happens during...

Hello July!

Kareng @kareng (76694) • United States 1 Jul

If today was any indication of how you are going to be, super HOT, you can just cancel those plans right now! Yesterday, the last day of June was our hottest day of the month. We don't want that for the entire month of July!...

MARILYN I'm always happy when the harsh winter months end and look forward to summer. Then summer comes, it's hot as heck and I hate it. Makes me wonder why I look forward to it

MARILYN I'm intrigued by your blueberry bbq sauce. Sounds yummy and of course I love bread & butter pickles. Hope you have some time for a swim today and the weather cooperates. It's cloudy here and we are expecting storms later on.

Would you buy a 'Possessed" Doll?

Baconstripsxxx @BACONSTRIPSXXX (15293) • Torrington, Connecticut 23h

There is this new doll that is currently trending called labubu and according to some people this dolls are tied to a darker meaning. I do believe in the supernatural and came across a Ad to purchase one on amazon while scrolling...

MARILYN I've heard of them and know someone whose daughter is collecting them. Certainly didn't know they were connected to the occult and I wonder if the person I know is aware (I doubt it). I do agree that they are ugly and wonder how they can become so popular and...

How long do you let someone live with you for free?

Amber @AmbiePam (100022) • United States 29 Jun

So say you are letting someone live with you for free because their circumstances aren’t the best (no, not me). They have a nice RV, but they can’t seem to sell it. You let them live there, thinking it is temporary as they say...

MARILYN Personally I've never had anyone live with me for free but I do know of other people who have and it never worked out well.

On Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 23h

This show is so good. It's on HULU. It stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as the main characters, but every episode or every other episode seems to have a pop-up celebrity cameo. So far there's been Meryl...

Very Comfortable Morning

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (118481) • Marion, Ohio 21h

Here's the key and the code

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357184) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Jul

While we were in Shackleton, a tiny town in the central wheatbelt of Western Australia, we decided to view the historic display in their old hall. There was another couple there looking at the various exhibits and when they left...

MARILYN It really does seem very trustworthy of them to leave the key and code for getting into the bank. Even with nothing to steal it's unusual that vandals haven't done damage. It's definitely a breath of fresh air to see that it hasn't been vandalized.

A very small bank

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357184) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Jun

This quaint little building is touted as the smallest bank in Australia. It’s certainly very small and was first opened in the 1930s as a branch of the Bank of New South Wales, which incidentally is where Vince started his working...

MARILYN That is indeed an interesting building and enjoyed hearing about it's history. It reminds me of an old picture my dad had of a post office about the same size as that bank. For some reason my dad loved taking pictures of old post offices.
