My Top Ten comedies #1!Laurel & Hardy

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5582) • Northampton, England 7h

I dont care how old you are or how bad your English is, these two make EVERYONE laugh on Earth and have been doing that for 100 years! How cool is that! The rights have lapsed in the U.K to show them on TV so haven't seen an...

Impulse Purchase: Blue Diamond Almond Milk.

The Horse @TheHorse (240540) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Sep

The other day I bought some Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Original Almond Milk at the grocery store. It was a totally spontaneous purchase. Have you ever had almond milk? I am not sure that I had. It's actually quite good! It is...

Max Crisp Almond milk is about 98% water. Waste of money. Have you ever tried to milk an almond? No. The name alone would put me off. Too long and fancy. That’s to cover up the fact that it’s mainly water. Would you buy it if it was called “Water with a hint of almond”?...

Bubble Wrap on the Walls?

celticeagle @celticeagle (193603) • Boise, Idaho 11 Sep

Bubble Wrap was invented in 1957 by two engineers who intended it to be a modern, textured wallpaper. It never caught on. They realized that the product had excellent cushioning properties. Today it is used around the world to...

Max Crisp Before the advent of the internet and doom scrolling, I would spend many a happy hour popping the bubbles in a sheet of bubble wrap. It was very satisfying.

Tires Fixed...

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (93294) • Rupert, Idaho 11 Sep

Hello everyone, how are you doing? As I mentioned last night, we had a flat tire. We got it to Les Schwab and got it taken care of. Probably not the cheapest place to go, but where we live we don't have many options. They ended...

Max Crisp I just replied on your last post about this. I’m glad you got it sorted, and well done for getting it up to 30 psi. Tyres aren’t cheap but are a necessary evil on a car. Isn’t it strange how the tyre/tire, is only ever flat on the bottom?

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (93294) • Rupert, Idaho 11 Sep

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Well, this evening got very stressful. Found out, by a middle schooler of all, that we have a flat tire. I am not sure how or when that happened, but I was in the pick up line to get Eli and...

Max Crisp You shouldn’t drive with a flat tyre. Haven’t you got a husband who can take care of this? In this world of equality it’s usually the man who still does this.

Eli's First Month of 7th Grade

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (93294) • Rupert, Idaho 10 Sep

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I remember last school year, at least in the second semester I would share weekly or every so often, how he was doing. I thought it might be worth doing that again...maybe if he sees some...

Max Crisp When I was doing exams, many years ago, 40% was the pass mark. So in my day, these are all good results. I don’t know what “Pre Algebra” is, nor “Language Arts” but he is obviously killing the latter. Same with “Life Science”. Well done, Eli. Keep up the...

$5000 per adult if the Republicans win the House and Senate in November

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127884) • United States 10 Sep

This is totally normal right? A president saying that he will pay $5000 to all adults if the Republicans keep the House and the Senate. The House is very much in play this cycle. The Senate--not so much. But still the idea of him...

Max Crisp I saw that on our news. He seems to break all rules and conventions without anyone holding him to account. Over here it’s the opposite. We have a government in power with a new leader who is going to put taxes up even further, including a tourist tax, and...

Are you a yellow sticker person ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (13745) • United Kingdom 11 Sep

For those who don't know ....yellow stickers are put on food in supermarkets that are just about to go out of date. They have the cheaper price on them. Some folk never would bring themselves to even look at yellow sticker...

Max Crisp I used to buy food with yellow stickers on, but these days they hardly knock anything off the normal price, so I don’t bother. I’d rather buy in date food and let it go bad at home.

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (13745) • United Kingdom 9 Sep

I'll be doing this when I'm 60!

Toni @toniganzon (80767) • Philippines 9 Sep

Bathing in the sea, naked! Maybe. This is Selma Hayek's photo I grabbed from IG. She just turned 60 and she's as beautiful as always. That made me think if I'd ever do this when I'm 60. There's a 50% chance I just might. But I...

Max Crisp Naked? She’s almost completely covered by her hair. Most disappointing! I think when you’re 60, I’ll be too old to appreciate it. Sooner is better, and less hair.

Felted creations

Fleur @Fleura (36187) • United Kingdom 9 Sep

A couple of weeks ago we went to a country show, and they had classes for handicrafts, one of which was for felted objects. This was my favourite, isn’t it clever? At first glance I thought the teapot was just a prop to provide a...

'Ripen at home' fruit

Fleur @Fleura (36187) • United Kingdom 8 Sep

I don’t know whether this is a general ‘thing’ or just a British phenomenon, but for some years now supermarkets here have been selling fruit labelled as ‘ripen at home’. In other words unripe. Of course it’s better for the...

Max Crisp I find tinned fruit perfect and ready to eat, most of the time. Pears are the main culprits for being occasionally hard. Much like myself!

Not Very Happy Today

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23905) • United Kingdom 8 Sep

Max Crisp As you have used @NJChicaa as your example, I might just message her. If it’s not a suggestion to do so then she might give me short shrift, and then I’ll look a right fool (not for the 1st time, nor the last).

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388076) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Sep

Max Crisp When you say, “Laughter is the best medicine”, spare a thought for those with cold sores or angular cheilitis, where even a hint of a smile brings nothing but pain.
