TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2196) • United States 16h

One of the stops I just had to make along the Gulf Coast was Lulu’s Fun Food and Music in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Lulu’s was founded by Lucy Buffett, the sister of Jimmy Buffett. Of course, part of the reason I went is my...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (372510) • Rockingham, Australia 11h

A friend dropped in this morning and presented us with these boards he had made. He and his wife came for lunch the other day and we played a few games of Qwirkle. He thought the stands we had which came with the game (you can...

Amber I’ve never heard of that game. Is it popular in Australia? My dad and his wife like to play games with their friends once a week.

I Have a Weird Question...

Have you noticed that pasta usually tastes better the day after you make it? I always stick leftovers in the fridge and then eat more of it the next day. It always tastes better, more flavorful, the second day and I don't know...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (41) • United States 8h

The 83 year old Widow with Cancer that I was talking about still has her Christmas Tree up in her living room and she plugs it in/lights it up every night. She does this every year. Leaves it up a long time. I don't know if...

Life without rats

Fleur @Fleura (34121) • United Kingdom 10h

Everyone hates rats, right? Unless they have pet rats of course. My partner in particular is totally paranoid about rats and if he ever glimpses any unidentified furry thing he immediately suspects a rat Yesterday I...

Amber No, I don’t. I saw a dead mouse around here once (a cat), and management will set traps if anyone complains of mice, but I’ve never seen a rat in real life. But if you’re ever in New York, you might want to find the Rat Czar. The person in charge of trying to...

Climbing the impossible

paulobraga85 @paulobraga85 (865) • Brazil 10h

Have you seen the documentary Skyscrapers? It’s absolutely insane watching the guy climb a massive skyscraper in Taiwan with no protective equipment at all, just his hands, his feet, and a confidence that feels almost...

Amber I guess some people like personal challenges, and turn them into hobbies or in some cases, careers. I wouldn’t be able to do it, but more power to him for being able to do it, and successfully.

How often do you wash your hands?

Fleur @Fleura (34121) • United Kingdom 10h

Do you remember during the Covid pandemic, government health advice included the exhortation to wash our hands regularly? The reaction of some people to this advice suggested that they would rarely have bothered to wash their...

Amber I wash them a lot. I have a dog, and I live in an apartment. I mean even when I come inside with “clean” hands, if I touched the apartment handrail my hands are getting washed. Food, toilet, cleaning, before I wash my face at night…

The Man Who Stops for Every Animal ??

paulobraga85 @paulobraga85 (865) • Brazil 10h

I have a friend who restores my faith in humanity in the quietest ways. He’s the kind of man who stops his car in the rain to move a turtle off the road, who keeps bags of food in his trunk “just in case” he finds a stray, who...

Amber Yes, I do! My best friend is exactly like that. I’ve been with her late at night when she drives into the country because she heard there was a stray. She nursed an injured opossum on her land back to health. She once drove 13 hours to take 8 chihuahuas to a...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 26 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 33. Ugh. At least the snow has stopped. Speaking of snow we are off from school again today. Not...

Amber There isn’t anything going on today. No surprise, of course. It’s supposed to be 70 today, but pretty windy. Not what we need with the wildfires. I hope you get a good nap!

Amber @AmbiePam (113359) • United States 23 Feb

Yep, you read that right! My birthday is next Sunday, and as a present, a couple of my aunts gave me money to go skydiving. They knew it was on my bucket list. And, before anyone mentions my back, I cleared this with my doctors....

Sleepless and Almost Brainless

Loretta @noni1959 (12539) • United States 20 Feb

I moved into the house the day before Valentines day and it's been a constant go. I am in so much pain I can't sleep at night and of course, my day function is waning. Lately, I've had quite a bit of brain fog and will scratch...

Amber @AmbiePam (113359) • United States 22h

I’m not talking about the USPS because I have so little regard for them it’s not funny (remember they (some workers) stole my mail & USPS admitted it later?). I’m talking about FedEx, Amazon Prime, UPS, and the like. For the most...

Need More Protein

Amber @AmbiePam (113359) • United States 23 Feb

I went to the doctor about 35 minutes away this morning, for a test, and it turns out he doesn’t want it done anymore. This was the one that was closed Friday when I went. Oh, well. It is a gorgeous day outside, albeit it a little...

Amber I can’t tolerate the taste of those. I’ve tried. Right now I at least found a yogurt drink with 20g of protein. But it’s fantastic you can. You’re probably one of the few who have all that worked out.

AbdulAziz @Emasburinong (1086) • Indonesia 21h

Amber I truly do get your point, and understand why you feel the way you feel. But necessities to live, to just live, have to put a high priority on food. Now, I absolutely believe you have to teach a man to fish instead of giving it away, but they need the care to...
