No more surprises, please--unless they are good ones!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (61197) 7 Aug

I won't get in too deep about today's list of crazy stuff. I just can't, until I get it all fixed, sorted, or whatever it takes. My children lost their grandmother today. Yes, she was very old and had lived a long life. We all...

Shiva Whatever the age, we miss them dearly especially those who are as loving as the children's grandmother. It takes time to reconcile with death. It is a tricky situation to travel when one is frail and quite old. We are faced with similar situations in life...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385953) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Aug

I wrote about Vince’s coin collection and how we’re hoping to dispose of some of the coins. We have a lot of mint rolls like the one in the photo. Australian coins had the queen’s head on one side until she passed away when the...

Remember my discussion about the mouse plague?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385953) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Aug

They talk about swings and roundabouts, and ups are followed by downs and vice versa. Some of you may remember I wrote about a mouse plague in our wheatbelt area. This was not the sort of plague that could be managed with traps or...

Just Something For Your Consideration

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3478) • United States 6 Aug

Dear All, Many people identify themselves with their politics, their ethnicity,etc. That's the wrong framing. We are made in the image of God, and who He made us to be is our identity, not all the labels we heap onto ourselves....

Shiva I believe in the oneness of humanity but enriched by the uniqueness in each of us. I find happiness and fulfillment in helping others in need. All are equal in the eyes of our creator - after all we are his creations.

Shiva They are wild animals anyway and one should not take liberties with them. It is a sad event but funny too as it did not run away from the law enforcers like some of us do.

Why on Earth Did I Agree to go on Vacation in August?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (61) • United States 6 Aug

I do not tolerate heat or humidity well. August is always the hottest part of the year. But I thought Eastern Europe never got brutally hot. I thought it would be around 77F degrees. Unlucky for me Europe is experiencing a...

Why Do Some People Get Bit By Mosquitoes More Than Others?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (61) • United States 6 Aug

I might have mentioned part of this before. I've probably only been bit by a mosquito half a dozen times in my 61 years on Earth. Hubby gets bit constantly. Bugs LOVE him. So this is the part I think I've shared with you...

Noodling

Amber @AmbiePam (124508) • United States 6 Aug

Some of you may have heard of noodling, but probably not most of you. It’s when you fish for catfish by sticking your hand in the holes they usually hide in. It’s mainly something done in the southern United States, but no,...

Today's Visit With Mother-in-Law Was Mostly Good With a Slight Twist

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (61) • United States 5 Aug

Mother-in-law was in a good mood today. She was happy and unstressed. She seems to possibly be calming down and accepting her new surroundings and her "new normal." We took her out to lunch and she ate well and enjoyed new...
