MARILYN Love the image you created as it really does say what we're feeling. I'm with you and feeling the pain as everything rises in price. It's bad enough our heating bills went up with the crazy cold winter but now more money is pouring out of our wallets for...

1986 Songs: Guitars, Cadillacs

Four Walls @FourWalls (83770) • United States 13h

With the screen grab, I wonder if I even have to give the “Linda? NO!!!!!” warning to anyone who doesn’t like country music. I’ve already mentioned this guy in an earlier discussion about the “neo-traditional”...

1976 Songs: I Never Cry

Four Walls @FourWalls (83770) • United States 13h

Not to make you feel old or anything…. Seriously, if you’re old, you don’t need any songs to remind you that you are old. But we’re in the musical time machine, traveling back half a century to look at what was...

MARILYN Yup for Alice Cooper but I'm feeling even older and older as you do this "time machine"

Gas prices are all over the place

snowy @snowy22315 (204154) • United States 9h

So, I thought I made out pretty well this morning getting gas for 3.19. However, when I was outside the city I saw a sign that they had gas for 2.50! I didn't get a chance to thoroughly read the sign, but usually something like...

MARILYN I know gas has gone up here but I don't know by how much. My daughter will probably fill up on Sat when she is going to her friends.

DianneN @DianneN (250889) • United States 8h

FYI, if my photo loads you can see our condo, the intercostal behind us, the buildings along A1A on a tiny strip of land, and the Atlantic Ocean. We are in the back right corner. I only have one set of silverware here. It’s a...

MARILYN Wow what a gorgeous view and a beautiful place to live. As for silverware I have a set for 12 in the kitfchen. Since we only run the dishwasher a few times a week we tend to run out of silverware faster than dishes. I also have a set of sterling silver for...

MARILYN Good for you being able to use your arm. Of course cleaning the bathroom isn't fun but certainly something that needs doing. Bet your new mats look nice with your now sparkling bathroom.

I have been wanting to watch a couple movies and can't find them on any apps so I decided to order some from my favorite website. I really enjoy vintage movies from the mid 30s up to the 60s. I ordered The Thin Man series from the...

I think it is worth $50.

Amber @AmbiePam (114561) • United States 12h

On one of my survey sites they sent me an invitation to sample 667 songs, and they estimated it would take three hours. They will pay $50, and we have a week to finish it (we don’t have to do it at once). That’s a long time, but...

MARILYN That sounds interesting and hopefully it's songs you will enjoy. Do they give you an idea of the type of songs or genre? 50 is a nice amount of money with a week to complete the survey

Did You Grow Up Listening to Music on Vinyl Records, Tapes, CDs, MP3s, or Streaming?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (50) • United States 9 Mar

From toddler until about age 16-18 it was vinyl records. I enjoyed laying them out on the floor and looking at the album covers and reading the liner notes. Around 16-18 came 8-track tapes, but they were short-lived. Then in my...

How many delivery services do you have?

Amber @AmbiePam (114561) • United States 8 Mar

I get my groceries delivered for the sake of my back, and I use Walmart+ because I can get them half off with Walmart Assist. Free delivery is very appealing. I also use Amazon Prime because I can get them half off. I appreciate...
