Good Start to the New Year

Loretta @noni1959 (12417) • United States 3 Jan

They came today with machines and made a lot of progress. The electrical pipe is now run up from the road, so next week, the electric company's engineer can put in the transformers and run electric up to the house. Trenches were...

One think California does I think Oklahoma should.

Amber @AmbiePam (112138) • United States 28 Dec

While I was in California, I noticed they did something they didn’t do when I lived there as a child. Now, I knew they did it, but I hadn’t seen it. It was at fast food places where the trash was. One can was for trash, and one...

Marsha We've done recycling for quite a few years with pickups at the road every month where I live. But I don't think that public places generally put out bins for each. At work in the breakrooms they have a place for each one. Actually not for recyclables but for...

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (9912) • Calcutta, India 20 Dec

I think destiny is set in stone. I cannot change it. But I can pray to God to keep me steady and peaceful no matter what. May I continue doing good karma and may I have peace of mind, always. I am doing okay. Surviving. The...

Marsha So what did you decide? I loved North Carolina when I lived there for two years, but I lived in Greenville. Since most of your family aren't living in CT, it would be helpful if someone is close to your mom as she gets older but then again with the increase...

something that is hard to forget

Suwardie @Akutza90 (406) • Semarang, Indonesia 25 Dec

Hello friends. I want to tell you a little about my past when I worked abroad. When I was still working in the country, my income was not enough, so I was determined to work abroad, even though the costs were relatively expensive,...

Marsha Hello and welcome to my lot. It's a great site to interact with friends and cultures, (although I'm not here as much as I used to be). I don't fully understand your story. I'm guessing that your parents disowned you when you decided to live and work in a...

OK, this is a weird question,but what do you use to open your jar if you can't get it open?

snowy @snowy22315 (202516) • United States 23 Dec

Of course I know all the conventional methods running under hot water, tapping with a butter knife etc. but one thing I have found that works really well is gripping it with an old mousepad. They sell those jar openers with the...

Marsha Lol, I've never thought of that before. We use grippers sold for opening jars. Similar but thinner than mouse pads.

snowy @snowy22315 (202516) • United States 20 Dec

So, I was dismayed the other day that I could not get my 5 dollar Amazon card with more than 5,000 points. The price when I went to redeem was 6.500. Well anyway, I finally got to that point,,,went to redeem and it was back to...

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...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (371000) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Dec

Do you dress “for” the holidays?

Amber @AmbiePam (112138) • 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 (19656) • 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...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54415) 3 Dec

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...
