Eleven years since…

Amber @AmbiePam (119028) • United States 4 May

First, thank you for reading this. People tend to get tired of reading tributes after so many years, so I appreciate the fact that you are reading about my mom’s 11th heavenly anniversary. I choose to think of her remembrance as a...

Do You....?

celticeagle @celticeagle (188773) • Boise, Idaho 3 May

I have always had cats in my life. I have never bathed one of them. I can see where some situations would need a bath. When our two younger cats (Colbert and Finn) got hurt their wounds had to be cleaned continually so they nearly...

Last Night Was Crazy

Amber @AmbiePam (119028) • United States 2 May

I was assured that if I worked the holding room it would be much easier than last year. It was not. Add to the fact that my voice was affected by the end (?) of my cold, and my voice had no authority. I ended up recruiting two...

Oh My Goodness---Housing is at it Once Again

celticeagle @celticeagle (188773) • Boise, Idaho 1 May

Why do these things always seem to happen on the weekend so now we get to worry all weekend until we can speak to someone on Monday? Today we received two letters from Housing. One was a bill for a removal of a freezer at a...

Calls for Roast!

Amber @AmbiePam (119028) • United States 30 Apr

It was so nice being sent home some food from my dad and Diana’s house. She had made roast with potatoes, carrots, and celery, plus squash casserole. I know squash casserole doesn’t sound great, but it’s absolutely delicious....

No Surprises Here

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (55876) • Canada 30 Apr

I never really realized that we followed a menu until a friend said something to us while we were chatting about food and take out days. We used to go out for supper on Thursday nights when we were first married. It was always...

Do you think the DC "shooter" got a shot off?

The Horse @TheHorse (237676) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Apr

I am reading today that the fella who rushed into a hallway only one floor away from where Trump and others were gathered never got a shot off. Further, the agent who was shot was apparently shot by one of his colleagues. I'm...

1966 Top Ten: For No One (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (85855) • United States 30 Apr

Good morning from south-central Indiana. I’m still close to home but far enough away to only get traffic if I venture into a school zone at 3 PM. Thanks for spending the last two months celebrating my birthday with...

1956 Top Ten: (You’ve Got) The Magic Touch (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (85855) • United States 30 Apr

Going back 70 years we land in 1956. I wasn’t born then. Records were around then, and we can always go back and listen to them! I’ve discovered endless great songs that were around before I was born, so don’t be afraid to...

MAGAts Go Silent

kay lar @jaylar (3493) • Kingston, Jamaica 29 Apr

There was a time, not that long ago, that if you posted anything which wasn't Trump positive, you'd be attacked by the MAGAts. During the past months they have disappeared. The tariffs which pushed up American's costs, the Iraq...

1956 Top Ten: The Waltz of the Angels (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (85855) • United States 29 Apr

Well, the bad news is that you’re stuck with another 70-year-old classic country music song for today’s celebration. The good news is that it’s the last one. Yes, and we’re revisiting the 100 favorites list...

Four Walls @FourWalls (85855) • United States 29 Apr

Maybe you didn’t believe me when I made those 100 favorites lists. Yeah, I really love these songs. Both of today’s songs are on that list. They were released ten years apart, but that doesn’t matter to me. The fact...

Amber @AmbiePam (119028) • United States 28 Apr

1956 Top Ten: I Take the Chance (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (85855) • United States 28 Apr

No, I wasn’t born in 1956. The great thing about art is that you don’t have to be around when it was created to appreciate it. My niece is a huge Shakespeare fan, for instance. So it’s nothing to love a song that’s 70 years old...
