Goat Yoga is Real!

DianneN @DianneN (177817) • United States 23h

My son and his girlfriend took a goat yoga class on this sunny beautiful Sunday. He sent me lots of photos of his girlfriend and the only photo of him. Goats were all over the place! I truly don’t know what they do except make...

MARILYN I've heard of goat yoga but never knew anyone who did it. Sounds like a fun way to try something new. I used to love watching the Biggest Loser and one of the trainers had their team doing yoga. It's not as easy as it looks. Do you like it?

I needed to get my jewelry that's been sitting in our safe since the beginning of December and to shove other pieces of jewelry in there. I decided to look at what else we have sitting in one of the drawers. We always keep an...

Almost Smashed

Amber @AmbiePam (55462) • United States 21h

Last night the winds came through at 80 mph, and lightning and thunder abounded. Although my power flickered, my electricity never really went out completely. This morning dawned bright and sunny, and I headed out to walk my dogs....

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (43555) • United States 7h

Heading out to pick up a grocery order at Walmart. It is the only place in town where you don't have to spend a fortune to qualify for free pick up. But, even so, you need to spend at least $30 to even have the option of using...

Tennessee Mountains

Ruby Hawk @RubyHawk (37039) • Atlanta, Georgia 8 Jul

I’m reading a book by Jojo Moyes, The Giver of Stars. I like all her work but this one especially because the story is set in 1932 in the Mountains of Kentucky. My mother’s people lived in the Tennessee mountains which are very...

MARILYN I've read quite a few books by JoJo Moyes but I haven't gotten around to reading this one yet. It's on my "to read" pile so maybe I'll pick it for my next read. I'm sure you've heard many great stories about mountain living.

My lunch in the mall

Alex Socorro @Alexandoy (60229) • Cainta, Philippines 20h

I had t-bone steak for my lunch in the food court of the mall. The table can seat 6 but only 2 of us are allowed. My wife is on the other side and other end of the table. The distancing is okay since the next table is about 3 feet...

Patience

Judy Story @jstory07 (92664) • Roseburg, Oregon 12 Jul

When you have young children you learn to be patience with them. Because they need a lot of understanding and a lot of love. Patience is what we need to learn when we are dealing with people of all ages. Do not get mad at people....

MARILYN I'm sure getting out and seeing people was the boost you needed. I wish I could make a trip to the ocean but it's a3 hour drive and too much of a risk being so far away from home.

I've never cancelled an order with ebay before

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (78494) • United States 12 Jul

But I did just now. I guess I should have done more research before I jumped the gun. I found more negative benefits than positive to something I had just ordered, so had to cancel it within minutes of placing the order. I hate...
