Afternoon tea ....isn't she posh !

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11569) • United Kingdom 12 May

I was talking to a friend on the bus today and she was telling me about the day she went out for afternoon tea. It was at the community centre not far away. She said there was a selection of sandwiches and all the cake you could...

Curlann As for me, I don't have personal experiences, but I've heard it's a great way to relax and enjoy some good company. I think we have the same mindset, we both value what is useful and down-to-earth. Sometimes, simplicity and functionality can be really...

Comfortable Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (136091) • Marion, Ohio 12 May

It got comfortable outside today. So when we got home I transplanted some of my plants. Still have several to do but at least it's started. I didn't get the stands but made the guy pay good for them. He didn't look too happy...

Curlann Sounds like you had a great time playing with friends. How did you learn to play Euchre, and what do you like most about the game?

Did I forget to post it?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169590) • United States 12 May

I wrote a post. I even edited it. It is nowhere. I must have forgotten to click "start discussion"--or Pedro deleted it. He is here watching me. Even though we were gone all day, the cats do not want out. That is because there is...

Curlann It's frustrating when technology doesn't work as expected. Have you ever had any issues with posts getting lost or deleted before?

I Got Done

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (136091) • Marion, Ohio 4 May

Loading the truck. Everything is in it now. I am ready for tomorrow except for making out my tags. I will get that done soon. I also set the canopy frame up in the yard by the old patio table. I have the legs set in flower pots...

Curlann That actually sounds like a really nice summer setup with the canopy and cucumbers growing up the frame. I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow with the move.

Curlann I'm really sorry you're going through this, especially so suddenly. That must be a lot to process in such a short time. Hoping things work out smoothly with whichever option you choose.

First Rain.

rakski @rakski (156996) • Philippines 3 May

First, it was a drizzle. But now it is a full blown rain. But I just checked the weather app, it says cloudy but at 8am the sun will shine. There's no notice of an ounce of rain. It's 8:15am and it's raining. And I just hang...

What I learned over the years...

Toni @toniganzon (77346) • Philippines 3 May

Is that I have to be more understanding and more patient. I learned that I shouldn't expect people to act and behave according to what I wish them to be or to behave like me. I should see their own potential and their...

Curlann Funny thing is I know that too but it is not always easy to be sensitive, especially when things catch us off guard. We all have moments I think where we react without thinking.

I made a red white and blue one

Stacey @xstitcher (39089) • Petaluma, California 3 May

Accidents in the kitchen

Jimbo45 @Ineeddentures (35523) 21 Jan

Accidents in the kitchen. A few years ago, well over 40 years ago a friend of mine had a really bad accident in the kitchen which nearly killed her. She put an egg in a microwave oven and cooked it, still in it's shell. She...

Curlann That sounds terrifying! I’ve never microwaved an egg in the shell, and I definitely won’t now..I’ve had my fair share of kitchen mishaps too, mostly small cuts and the occasional burn.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (59444) 21 Jan

This old girl had a birthday last Saturday. No big deal, right? I mean...we all have birthdays, some are better than others. But Saturday the weather and the roads were not very good, so after a pow wow with daughter and son in...

Curlann I hope your son-in-law gets better soon and that your daughter stays healthy. Cancelling the birthday party sounds like a wise choice. Health should always come first, and you can celebrate later when everyone can enjoy it safely.

Do you get into “craft” activities?

Amber @AmbiePam (121302) • United States 20 Jan

I was sent a DIY kit with these taper candles, and wax pens of different colors. You could decorate them for Valentine’s Day, or just whatever floats your boat. It seemed like something to do on a day spent inside. I also was sent...

Curlann That sounds so fun! I’ve been wanting to do a craft activity too, though mine would just be a scrapbook. Even so, I think it’ll be a nice way to keep busy and get creative.

How do you take care of your energy?

Indah Fetha Andri Ariyanti @indahwow (122) • Yogyakarta, Indonesia 20 Jan

We all get tired sometimes, both physically and mentally. I believe taking small breaks is important. How do you usually take care of your energy? Any simple habits you’d like to share?

Curlann I try to take short breaks during the day, even just 5–10 minutes to stretch or step outside for fresh air. Listening to music and having a small snack also help me recharge. I think little habits like these really add up over time!

Possible help for anyone who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (59444) 14 Jan

I am so fortunate that I don't suffer from either of these, but I know it's a real thing, and I've seen it in various friends and one of my family members. So many seem to suffer from one or both of these conditions. Earlier...

Curlann Thank you very much for sharing this. My mom used to have anxiety and panic attacks when she was living with us here in the US. She would have trouble breathing, especially when it got dark in our house, and the thought of flying alone back to the Philippines...

Ali Canary @AliCanary (4459) 15 Jan

Hey all, I went in to do my proficiency tests yesterday. Scored a 92 on Excel, an 88 on Word, an 82 on proofreading, and a 98 on data entry. I'm a little embarrassed about the proofreading score, but when I was there, I overheard...

Curlann That’s good news! We also have a dog, and the problem is that sometimes he sheds a lot. It’s not good for us because it might trigger allergies. I will tell my husband about this product as soon as he gets home. Thank you for sharing.

When you're trying to reconnect with a person but realize the person wasn't there for you

Valentina @valherma00 (4072) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 12 Jan

Like, in crucial situations. With your bullying or when you revealed that later and got no real comfort. With your body issues, when she was mad at you, instead of supporting you. When you looked sad or felt sad but she was...

Curlann From what you’ve shared, it sounds like this person has hurt or ignored you a lot. Family doesn’t mean you have to let someone keep hurting you. If they show real change and respect your feelings, maybe it’s worth reconnecting. But if the same patterns...
