Happy Thursday Everyone! we got a wintry mix overnight so everything is slippery here this morning. The temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark but the sun is shining so hopefully it will melt the mess on the...

Marsha I've not baked cooking for the holidays or any other time for possibly ten to twenty years. My excuse before was working a lot and now I don't want my eyes to get fat either. I've found that I can't have just one, so why make any? I think I used to do no...

Doctor Appointment...

DE @DaddyEvil (163747) • United States 9 Dec

I had to go see the Ophthalmologist (eye specialist) this morning. He examined my eyes and said there were only minor changes since he saw me about a year ago. I told him about having problems seeing the lines on the highway...

Marsha Good things she was in the car with you. I knew someone once with thicker eyelids but I assumed she was born with them.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (367483) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Dec

We pulled out some parsley plants yesterday. They were well past their best and it was time to get new ones. I also bought a punnet of butternut pumpkin seedlings, two of which you can see in the photo. Vince also bought a...

Marsha I was surprised that they're called pumpkin plants yet the result are called butternuts. I like using fresh basil too but never did well growing it. I would like to say that the picture you're using now makes you look younger than one you used before when...

Marsha That sounds very pretty. I thought maybe they grew wild in your area but having container gardens is convenient too.

Good Morning 12/3/2025

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (319690) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 3 Dec

It's a beautiful morning. It's cloudy, the temperature is a perfect 28 F, and it snowed during the night. Yes, it's beautiful. Today will be somewhat busy. My friend is picking me up in less than an hour for rock painting. Which...

Marsha Is the table in the hallway outside your apartment? The prayer time is in your apartment or living facility? If so, that's nice. I signed up to go to cardio swim class tonight but I'm having second thoughts. I looked outside at our cars and it looks like it...

Do you dress “for” the holidays?

Amber @AmbiePam (108198) • United States 29 Nov

I get in the spirit of the season, and will wear things like these earrings that were given to me. The items I wear aren’t always silly, but I find it enjoyable to really dive into a “jolly” mind frame.

Marsha I only have sweat shirts with Christmas designs that I wear in December. I had my ears pierced when I was in my twenties but somewhere along the way they grew back together since I quit wearing earrings.

Why my Windows still need to be update?

May2k8 @May2k8 (19457) • Indonesia 14 Nov

Windows 10 should have finished its update on 2025 October 14th, that's why my computer has been slowing down for a while now. I've checked with PC Health and my computer is indeed not compatible with Windows 11 OS. That's why I...

A Show I Discovered

Anne Marie Guyer @LeaPea2417 (39281) • Toccoa, Georgia 29 Nov

The endless problems of the US Mail Service...they never end.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (52297) 3 Dec

I do know I am not the only one with mail issues, whether it's what I receive, what I should receive, or actually mailing things. They are in such a snarl, and I don't see how they will ever fix it, either. In the last two...

Marsha Overall I don't have a problem with the mail service. I rarely have anything I've sent out lost in the mail but I don't think we ever received our city tax bill that's due by Feb. I have an idea of what it is from what we paid last year. And, there's a small...

Tracking smart cars - for all the wrong reasons

Judy Evans @JudyEv (367483) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Dec

Marsha I didn't keep up with the news on a regular basis but my husband does share what he reads or hears. I haven't heard about this. It doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Vulgar comments about a woman becoming a trend in India which is unacceptable

Anindita Sengupta @aninditasen (17879) • Raurkela, India 8 Nov

Recently a film actress from the South was asked some very lewd questions by some journalists instead of the film for whose review they had come. This enraged her and she shouted back at the journalists. However her male peers...

Marsha If this type of things has happened to others do the men usually stick up for the women or is it common for them to keep quiet? I'm guessing they didn't want to hurt their careers. I would agree that it's not acceptable although sometimes we need to realize...

Blue Christmas

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (91907) • Daytona Beach, Florida 30 Nov

Now that the presents have been wrapped and the memories come rushing back here is another of my favorite sad Christmas songs. “Blue Christmas” was written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson back in 1948 and first recorded by Daye...

Marsha I've not been around for half a year or more, so my memory might be broken. Do you have a son, daughter, step son and a younger daughter that is probably somewhere between two and four? Are those your four kids? How old are they all now?

Who makes the best Thanksgiving (holiday) food?

Amber @AmbiePam (108198) • United States 27 Nov

It was always my late maternal grandmother who could cook you out of the kitchen. Everything was homemade, and, unfortunately, low fat was not on her radar. So, everyone knew they were probably going to gain five pounds every...

Marsha I'm not familiar with any unusual traditions. One that was common when I was growing up was parties where everyone had to bob for apples. Looking back that doesn't seem to sanitary.

Marsha If I ever heard of any I don't remember them anymore. I'm doing a little visiting here until my husband wakes up from his nap. We got five inches of snow last night and I got the porch and ramp shoveled before noon but I still need to do the driveway.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (367483) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Nov
