Are there certain words or names you just can't remember?

The Horse @TheHorse (240421) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Dec 21

And I'm not necessarily talking about senior moments here. There's a street near my house. I often do business there. My friend Ko has moved her Thai restaurant there now. I got new tires for one of my trucks there. When I...

Son's New Santa PJs

Miss Nikki @MissNikki (5233) • Maple Ridge, British Columbia 9 Dec 21

I ordered my son some new Xmas Pajamas for his 2nd birthday. The photo above shows his new pajama shirt with Santa on a motorcycle. I think they are pretty darn cute. He also got some other PJs that say "Santa's Helper". Do...

Stacey @xstitcher (40167) • Petaluma, California 9 Dec 21

I wrote out an entire post and then shut down the computer before posting it. It's 4:36pm now, and I got home around three. When I was close to my front door, I saw that there was an Amazon package in my entryway. When I...

Self Isolating....

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21735) • Canada 10 Apr 20

Self isolating, social distancing, Covid 19 and toilet paper....all linked in our minds.....forever. I've been taking a walk almost every day. Fresh air and exercise keeps me sane. Meals have become entertainment as well as...

Rebecca Huston Today, sleeping in, baking a cake (in the oven as we speak!), organising some stamps. Reading, stitching -- made J a couple of fabric face masks when he goes out.

Good Morning 4/10

snowy @snowy22315 (212723) • United States 10 Apr 20

And the biggest excitement of the day is...drumroll please! I am escaping to pick up some medicine and get some stuff at the store. Heck, I may even go wild and hit Subway and the garbage dump. Anyway, after being trapped in here...

Rebecca Huston I keep telling myself that I have a roof, my cats, the internet, J, and plenty of books and food. And yet, I still get antsy to get out of the house. It's been a month now and I am getting stir crazy. Or bored, I'm not sure which.

snowy @snowy22315 (212723) • United States 10 Apr 20

Do you ever read more than one book at a time?

snowy @snowy22315 (212723) • United States 10 Apr 20

I actually have 3 going now, in various stages of reading, although I don't even read everyday, so this is going to take some time. One of them is relegated to the car, to read if I am somewhere that doesn't have wifi. I might...

Rebecca Huston Oh, how awful! Cats are extremely clever at tripping -- the late Jake tripped me down the basement stairs several times. After that, J told me in no uncertain terms that I was not to use the basement stairs any more.

There's always a car alarm going off

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127856) • United States 9 Apr 20

When I lived at the house for 15 years I don't think I EVER heard a car alarm going off on the block. It just wasn't a thing. Here? At the apartment complex? It is a daily thing and sometimes it happens multiple times per day....

hahaha CNN just refused to air Trump's press briefing

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127856) • United States 9 Apr 20

Good for them. All he does is speak in generalities, refuse to express any empathy, life, and talk about the economy. He continues to lie about the availability of tests and how many are being distributed each day. Anyone with...

Rebecca Huston The Orange Cockroach is quite possibly the most stupid and inept President that we have ever suffered through. I thought Nixon was bad, but the OC makes him look good. And that takes a lot for me to say, I remember Watergate all too well.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387953) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Apr 20

Although nothing much has changed for us, I’m trying to regard ‘social isolation’ as a chance to do a few chores that we’ve been putting off. I’d like to feel that we’d accomplished something during our enforced stay-at-home...

I don't know why people didn't see this coming

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127856) • United States 9 Apr 20

We had a major scare like 15 years ago with H5N1 (aka "bird flu") and that had a 70-80% mortality rate. I stocked up on non-perishables and household supplies back then and my ex laughed at me. Luckily we didn't need them and...

Rebecca Huston It's the supply lines for the manufacturers of the basic things. They've gone to so much 'just-in-time' shipping that it's impossible. If you see flour, and you use it, buy it if you see it. Same thing with butter and eggs. It's crazy. And you're right, no one...

Safeway update: I could not buy eggs today. What is your grocery store experience right now?

The Horse @TheHorse (240421) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Apr 20

I have been going to the grocery store about twice a week. If the line at Trader Joe's is too long, I will go to Safeway, which is not requiring its customers to stand in front of the store to get in. Today, at Safeway, I was...

Rebecca Huston J does the shopping as he doesn't want me anywhere near a store. However I have to be very exact as to what I put on the list. Still no toilet paper around here, and not very many paper towels. We're not going to starve, but mealtimes are going to be getting...

Are you a mushroom fan?

snowy @snowy22315 (212723) • United States 29 Mar 20

It doesn't seem like too many people are neutral about mushrooms. It seems like they either really like them or dislike them quite a bit. I am not ordinarily a fan, but they are good for you, so I will eat them on occassion. Since...
