Easterly View

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (95410) • Arvada, Colorado 29 Jun

This is one of the views from the small bedroom in the new place, the loft or penthouse if you will. They are brand new and the views are amazing on the top floor. I love it so far. It is hard to believe we have this place as they...

All I Got Was This Lousy Potato

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (124855) • Gainesville, Florida 10 Jul

Most of you know that I am a die-hard Disney fan. But as much of a fan that I am, there is still new things I learn and discover every time I visit the Disney theme parks. Over the past several years, I've been hearing more and...

Melanie Marie Yes I am jealous and I’m thinking maybe for Halloween let’s make huge potato hats. Forget the costumes. Potato hats I’m in the midst of working and saving and finding a suitable place to call home but I’ll be back soon, esp...

George and I just got back from the store. He didn't want to use self-check out today. So, that was a mess. Not being able to see the order of things, made unloading our cold food a challenge. I somehow managed to get it all in...

Melanie Marie Ah, not using self checkout, that can be a mess. I like to bag my things my own way. Like obviously you don’t put a strongly-scented candle in the same bag with a steak. But they will do it, they don’t care. Or a hot rotisserie chicken, with...

Spaghetti Night.

rakski @rakski (143086) • Philippines 16 Jun

Nothing fancy, just good old pasta, ground meat, sauce and maybe a little too much of cheese. This has always been quick and easy. It feels like home, made with love. What's for breakfast/lunch/dinner?

Melanie Marie Looks really good, rakski. Tonight I’m making stuffed potatoes, you just bake a potato and then load it up with butter, cheese, steak, and sour cream. I have a toaster oven in my room. Enjoy the spaghetti!

Beware the Vampire Squirrel

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (86912) • Daytona Beach, Florida 10 Jun

Why should people be the only ones to get in on Halloween fun? I just stumbled across the vampire squirrel online. The bad news is that this squirrel is for real. Researchers have seen it in the wild at present in a national park...

Melanie Marie Woah… a squirrel that actually hunts deer? That’s a new one for me. Even out here. I wonder if they have any interest in regular nuts and seeds, or are they only out for blood (?) This would be a cool costume for Halloween .. vampire squirrel.

Melanie Marie I usually like to do things on my own. But every now and then, I need some help and I always ask for help when I need it. Like when I get this portable catio, you can bet I won’t know how to put it together. So I will ask the guys in my life to do it for...

Do you like Swiss cheese?

snowy @snowy22315 (192722) • United States 7 Jun

I think I am going to have a turkey sandwich for lunch, and I was just sitting here thinking I wish I had some Swiss cheese to put on it. It is not my favorite cheese, but it goes well with certain things like turkey or ham...

Melanie Marie Hi snowy, I love all cheeses, except like PepperJack, when they add in the spicy stuff. Swiss is good, goes great with ham and turkey. My faves are cheddar and Muenster (aka Monster.)

Do you ever watch a programme more than once

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (3136) • United Kingdom 8 Jun

So last night we watched three episodes of Only Fools and Horses. We hadn't watched it for several years. It is one of my favourite sitcoms but they rarely show it on tv these days. I have seen all of the episodes more than once...

Melanie Marie Movies, the ones I like I will watch hundreds of times. But I only have a top 7 movie list. One thing I will never, ever do, is watch a YouTube video more than once. I get everything I need from it the first time around. Plus, the YouTubers are always coming...

Hit my head and all of a sudden that became a trigger for some bad memories. Has that happened to you, ever?

Greenery8 @grenery8 (18330) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 8 Jun

It seemed fresh, less humid outside and i opened my windows widely but something fell on my rug and i was searching it and when i tried to stand up, i hit my head on the window's part already. Actually, i hit my right side near...

Melanie Marie Your words are not foolish at all. Did you happen to hit your temple? You know, the part right above your ear. That’s a very dangerous part to hit, so if so, you just take it easy and monitor your symptoms for the rest of the day. Can’t say hitting my head has...

When is your next trip?

Amber @AmbiePam (100421) • United States 7 Jun

I guess officially my next trip is September, but I imagine I’ll be going somewhere between now and then. My dad’s side of the family has that Fourth of July family get away, but I can’t go to that. It’s just so hot even my dad is...

What words meant "totally cool!" when you were a kid?

The Horse @TheHorse (228585) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Jun

I was a child in the 1960s and 1970s. We (especially the boys) had words for something that was "totally cool." If a particularly good episode of "Lost in Space" had occurred the night before, we might say, " That was cool!" But...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358414) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Jun
