You Know What Really Flips My Cookies About Getting Old?

celticeagle @celticeagle (190371) • Boise, Idaho 23 Jun

No, it's not what you might think. It's not the body breaking down. No, I'm used to not being able to wear my old hippie jeans or ride my mountain bike anymore. What really steams my noodle is that my mind acts like I'm still 37!...

Is the name your family calls you different than your real name?

snowy @snowy22315 (209559) • United States 23 Jun

Peanut recipes

Fleur @Fleura (35324) • United Kingdom 23 Jun

With my haul of free peanut butter I had to decide what to do with it. I decided I would use it for cooking since I don’t know for sure whether the person may have eaten some directly from the jar with a spoon, for example, so I...

MARILYN My morning was off to a good start. We have light rain and missed the big storms that hit areas surrounding us. I had my coffee, did a few chores and actually got out to mail a package that's a return so I should be getting some money back.
