Good morning Feb. 8

snowy @snowy22315 (202797) • United States 8 Feb

Happy Super Bowl Sunday to one and all. This is the quasi National American holiday that at least a quarter of Americans participate in every year. It's a fun day in the middle of winter whether you are a football fan or not. It...

DB The last big sports event (besides the Winter Olympics) until baseball begins in April. We're making some comfort food Chili to enjoy with the game. Also, with temps at 14 degrees today something warm and hearty will go perfectly!

Have You Ever Had Shingles?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (66) • United States 7 Feb

Amber's post about COVID testing made me think of shingles for some reason. I had a friend in his 40's who got shingles from being over-stressed and malnourished while going through a divorce. They were very painful. I took...

DB Yes, twice. A mild case in my 20's and a severe one in my 60's. Never experienced such intense and constant pain before except when I needed a root canal. Actually, it felt worse. It affected my back the first time and my scalp, side of my face and eye the...

21 More Days

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (129413) • Marion, Ohio 8 Feb

And it finally looks like we will get a break from the extreme cold. We have earned it here for sure. Nothing special planned for the day. I will hide in my No Football Room this evening. Hubby wants to watch the game. I might...

DB Yes, not a ladies day TV event for sure (Super Bowl). The Winter Olympics should be on during that time to watch. Or do you just decide to keep yourself occupied with doing something else?

Take a Look at the Uakari

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (94142) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Feb

The healthiest males do have the reddest faces. Females seem to know this, and choose their mates based on how red the male’s face is. The Uakari is a species of small monkey indigenous to the tropical rainforests of South...

Breakdown Coming

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (94142) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Feb

When the world started getting strange some years ago I wrote this poem, I think it fits in very well with today’s situation. The sky so bright, sun on the wing, birds in the trees sing, then someone down the street, set off a...

DB Profound words. Instead of rejoicing in a better world today, it makes you want to take a time machine back to simpler times.

Let’s Do the Monkey

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (94142) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Feb

The novelty dance the Monkey was popular in 1963. It was popularized by two R&B records “The Monkey Time” by Major Lance and “Mickey’s Monkey” by The Miracles. For a while it became a national dance craze. And I found the...

Something Good

Amber @AmbiePam (112433) • United States 5 Feb

Did anything unexpectedly good happen today? It’s funny what I get excited about. I won an instant $10 on a survey site this morning, and it gave me a nice pep me up feeling. Even better, you remember the dog my best friend was...

Music Soothes the Savage Beast

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (94142) • Daytona Beach, Florida 5 Feb

That is what they say. I found this amusing video that shows how certain animals react to music. The cows particularly made me smile; I thought they might begin to dance, and the marine creatures are a sight to see. Even a tiger...

DB Not only animals, but music also soothes the human beast too, lol. Very cool, the cows provided an instant audience for the girl and all the musicians who played for them! Maybe they thought it was a dinner bell.

Commercials, Game, Halftime Show, or Not At All

Amber @AmbiePam (112433) • United States 6 Feb

Well that was a relief

snowy @snowy22315 (202797) • United States 31 Jan

DB Most insurance companies allow for one accident claim before raising rates. However, that is not written in stone, so beware of future increases perhaps when it's time to renew again.
