The Monkey and The Cat (Animal Story 30)

M.-L. @MALUSE (68483) • Germany 30 Jun

Have you ever heard of a friendship between a monkey and a cat? Of course, if you live in a part of the world where there are no wild monkeys to be found, you won't be able to answer in the affirmative. Members who live in a...

My annual trip around the sun culminated last weekend with a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with family and loved ones. We had an amazing time (as we always do), and got to ride every ride and experience every...

1972 Songs: Changes

Four Walls @FourWalls (44081) • United States 4 Jul

Unlike the 1982 song today I had no problem finding this great 1972 song to post for you. Yes, you’ll probably hear this song on the “classic rock” satellite station today. And it’s fifty years old this year. How about...

The Horse Heh. I have long been aware that gift cards are a great deal for the businesses that sell them, but thanks for the numbers. I have a couple of dusty gift cats sitting behind my keyboard. I wonder if I'll ever use them.

1972 Songs: Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)

Four Walls @FourWalls (44081) • United States 3 Jul

Oh, and speaking of songs you may be sick of hearing (see today’s 1982 song), going back 50 years to 1972 I present today’s tune that you’ll probably hear on an oldies station today. Fifty years later. Music isn’t milk, so it...

Sunday Waiting Game

Sonja Rae @SonjaRae (8461) • United States 3 Jul

I set my alarm for 6:00 am. Woke up, even though I had a restless night's sleep. None the less, I was up and because my friend CJ said "I will call you in the morning", I just stayed in bed watching television, awaiting the...

Almost time to pick up groceries

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (46082) • United States 2 Jul

I placed an order for groceries that I needed. I am certain I forgot a few things. The convenience of placing an order and having it ready at a certain time is great. Because it is the beginning of a new month and also a...

The Horse Picture a 15-year-old white boy on the South Side of Chicago. Looking for love. Looking for guidance. Looking for meaning. Really just looking for a girl with similar needs who would talk to him. Hold his hand. And maybe tentatively kiss him. Right on the...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 80 degrees F, hazy, and humid here at the Jersey Shore. Yuck. I am here at the treatment facility in an absolutely filthy mood. I don't want to be here. I cried...

Can you cope with extreme heat?

Diana @dya80dya (26614) 28 Jun

Today there are 34 degrees Celsius here. It is very hot. I was outside because I had to. It made me feel awful. I felt I couldn't breathe. I had a panic attack. I don't have A/C. And many days with extreme heat will follow. I...

The Horse I take meds for PTSD. They work. So I don't have panic attacks right now. But I am pretty tolerant of changes in the weather. I am lucky enough to have a pool where I live. When the temps approach 40C, I look forward to jumping in the pool when my day is...

My cat ran away

Diana @dya80dya (26614) 30 Jun

We let the door open because it is so hot. And one of my cats ran away. I am going to take him outside soon. I think cats should be able to enjoy nature. He would love to be outside. But I can't let him outside by himself because...

Who is the Daddy.

Jim @JimBo452020 (44280) • Montrose, Scotland 29 Jun

Who is the Daddy. When a lady dog gives birth to puppies it wouldn't be obvious what dog would have been the Daddy, would it. So I think my pal is worrying too much that this prize poodle he thought had mated with his labrador...
