I Just Can't Wear Flat Shoes Anymore

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (36) • United States 20h

I put on my Clarks sandals yesterday and again today just to run out to lunch and had a terrible time walking in them. That's because they're flat. No arch. No support. It's ironic that I can't wear flat shoes because neither...

Last row corner seats - those were the days

Always smiling @allknowing (144753) • India 10h

When my then fiance booked movie tickets he always preferred the last row corner seats. It was private and we could hold hands. I am sure whoever was next to us knew we were friends or may be they thought we were married,...

Neil Yes. My classmates and I back in college then loved to be seated at the back rows. These days people hardly ever go to the cinemas anymore. I myself don't go to the movies anymore.

Neil It sounds like you had a nostalgic and heartwarming experience watching the animated adaptation of "Horton Hears a Who!" Your reflections on the film highlight its meaningful message about valuing every individual, no matter their size. The voices of Jim...

4/28/25 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (187317) • United States 29 Apr

My gastro issues seem to have improved. I don't know if it's because of my diet or if it is hopefully OVER. I may try eating my Meals on Wheels lunch today and see what happens. I'm going to cancel my mammogram again this week....

Just had to share a tune

rebelann1949 @rebelann (113867) • El Paso, Texas 20 Apr

snowy @snowy22315 (188525) • United States 27 Apr

The second hand life

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (64039) • Centralia, Washington 27 Apr

I look around this house and realize that very little here was bought new. The chair I sit in and the bench and fake stove are new. All the fur kids are adopted. The light fixtures were owned by others first- the dining room's...

Are there parts of your personality that have not changed in your entire lifetime?

The Horse @TheHorse (225882) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Apr

The two main things that have not changed in my entire lifetime are my love of sports and my love of music. If you were mute, and came to me with two baseball gloves and a ball, or two guitars, I would know what to do. Entire...

Giving a New Look to an Old Sofa

ARIES1973 @ARIES1973 (11654) • Legaspi, Philippines 27 Apr

I bought this second hand couch from an appliance store in our area at a much cheaper price. I like the size of the sofa because it would perfectly fit in a small house that we are renting in this place. Upon checking, I...

Amber @AmbiePam (97673) • United States 26 Apr
