Do you watch streaming for old or new shows?

Amber @AmbiePam (104529) • United States 16 Oct

Some of you still may not watch streaming, and then some of you only watch streaming. I watch a few streamers I get half off, and I mostly watch old shows no longer on regular television. I tried getting into some original shows,...

MARILYN Probably both for me. My tv viewing is pretty varied but I mostly like reality shows like Survivor, Amazing Race, The Challenge and of course game shows (I'm still mad 25 words or less was taken off our local channel).

MARILYN That is a good price for the pork and it would probably be a good idea to buy another one. I do love pork tenderloin

Keep something for seven years…

Fleur @Fleura (32919) • United Kingdom 17 Oct

Keep something for seven years and you will find a use for it – at least that’s a proverb I have heard. Well today I found a use for something we have kept for about eight years – although I have to confess I didn’t keep it...

MARILYN I'm so sorry to hear that our Rosa died last week. It's heartbreaking when a pet passes away. I still miss my dog Gizmo and he died about 3 years ago. Mush is the dog we still have now and she just turned 16.

I must be getting old

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364478) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Oct

I really think I’m getting old. While we were away, we ran out of instant coffee which is really the only coffee we like. I buy the large tins of our favourite brand as it’s cheaper that way. So I bought a large tin in...

MARILYN Sad that she had so much trouble with the questions and certainly a sign that she has dementia. I'm sure you weren't surprised at all that she didn't do very well.

A doll's pram from years gone by

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364478) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Oct

MARILYN That doll pram certainly is interesting. Amazing how they took those kerosene tins and repurposed them into a pram.
