Do not mistake directness for unkindness, nor questions for disrespect. I get through life as best as I know how.

From Ghost's litter of 4. I expected the yellow kitten to be first. The yellow kitten is always peeking out over the top of the box. But its this little calico girl. She is having fun roaming around the back room. The auction is...

I got rid of my eggs today.

CRAFTY @sharon6345 (313017) • United States 19h

I don't know how my mind was so foggy yesterday. The dr asked when I eat eggs do I vomit and I said no. I had not eaten eggs in a while so I forgot. I just know I am allergic to egg whites. I came home and...

Finances & Financial Goals Update May 2022

maezee @maezee (42253) • United States 17h

Whoa, it has been a very long time since I've been on here - at least a couple months. I keep trying to make time for it and then I forget, get distracted, or "run out of time", so it just has not felt possible. In fact, rarely do...

The Sojourner Good job! I have to stay away from casinos, too. They can grab you when you least expect it. I'm also now debt-free, and I have nearly 5K$ in savings. Again, congratulations!

The Sojourner I am so sorry to hear that you have come down with this, and hope that you recover as quickly as possible. I have been fortunate that I have stayed away from it thus far. I have had four shots now, and wear a mask about 95% of the time and am not around...

They had better be opening the pool this summer

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (106632) • United States 15h

The maintenance guy told me last month that they were definitely opening the pool this year. It was open the first summer I lived here but has been closed for the past 2. A big part of the reason I chose to live here was the...

My New Snacks are Raisins or Craisins

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (148691) • East Tawas, Michigan 15h

I like to switch off with my afternoon snack, so I don't get tired of a certain food item. Last week, I bought myself some craisins with 50% less sugar. This makes a wonderful treat! Today, Jay tried to buy more craisins, because...

WOULD YOU VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP A 3RD TIME?

The Horse @TheHorse (153547) • Walnut Creek, California 23 May

I just got this email. I had to respond. I clicked "NO"! Duh. I have actually read books about Trump. Many Americans have not. If you don't believe me, do your research. Many Trump supporters have never read a single book about...

Did You Cut the Cord?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (92121) • United States 22 May

If you've kept up with my posts, you've read about my trials and tribulations with Spectrum and DISH TV. Spectrum increased our rate for TV/Internet/Landline to $266. After complaining, they reduced it to $247. Still too much....

Dead people banned from entering Russia!

The Horse @TheHorse (153547) • Walnut Creek, California 23 May

The Sojourner I wish it weren't life. I don't like the fact that I don't hear from my daughter much. I understand that she has a life to live, but it's just something that happens, I suppose. We always wish we would have spent more time. I think that's life.

How I tried to electrocute myself today but failed.

I am not suicidal by nature, but today I took the bottom off of a McIntosh tuner/preamp and gave it a De-Oxit bath while listening to it. I am trying to get a dead left (or is it right?) channel working. The thing is worth $1500...
