We got a new microwave

Judy Story @jstory07 (147291) • Roseburg, Oregon 24 Jan

After ten years our microwave quit working. My first though was it might be higher because of the tariffs. But it was about the same price So that made me happy. Took the microwave home and unpacked it. Two cats came running...

The Big Apple

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (93692) • Daytona Beach, Florida 24 Jan

No, not NYC but the dance since I mentioned it yesterday. It is a partner and circle dance that originated in the Afro-American community in the US at the beginning of the 20th century. In the summer of 1937 students from the...

My latest problem

Fleur @Fleura (33685) • United Kingdom 22 Jan

This is the problem I have to deal with now. And I admit I am a bit stumped. Basically the flush mechanism in the toilet has worn out. This is easily fixed by simply replacing the thing, and if it was a ‘normal’ free-standing...

Blame It On the Bossa Nova

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (93692) • Daytona Beach, Florida 22 Jan

“Blame It on the Bossa Nova” is a real oldie, and the bossa nova was a dance. If you remember a singer named Eydie Gormé, then she sang this song in 1963. It became a hit single for her. This song was also featured in the comedy...
