Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (53034) 20h

A few weeks ago, I thought that the flu warnings were overblown and exaggerated. Evidently not. Our ER's are full--I mean, really, really full. The hospitals here or close by seem to be recommending that you not really go to the...

Having Company

Amber @AmbiePam (109540) • United States 6 Jan

I’m fixing Pineapple Chicken and Rice with black eyed peas. Pimento Arancini (these I’m not making from scratch) as the appetizer is something I never thought I’d do since I never liked pimento cheese. But then I never had these...

Moving on up

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125838) • United States 6 Jan

I was just moved to the Observation Unit of the ER. The explanation that I've been given is that I will be closer to the doctors so they can monitor my progress more closely. As I wrote earlier I've had the last magnesium...

I'm still here at the hospital

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125838) • United States 6 Jan

7 hours later I'm still here in the ER. I've been largely ignored by the nurses. I've had to listen to an obnoxious old man 2 beds over flipping out since I got here. This guy and his wife got here like an hour ago and man they...

The Horse @TheHorse (233536) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Jan

I see wet pavement. I see eerily still trees. I see a cat asleep at my feet. I see Billy. I see Jenny. Do you remember Romper Room from '60s TV days? Yesterday's music practice went fine. Except that Jack became Mr.Grumpy Gills...

Raining

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (127516) • Marion, Ohio 6 Jan

It's better than the white stuff. It's not hard at all but is helping wash the ground clean of that ugly white stuff. Not much on the agenda for today. Just some cleaning and my walking. I really really need a maid...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368681) • Rockingham, Australia 15h

The photo shows the jigsaw puzzle that I’ve just completed. Unfortunately, there are four pieces missing but I’ve noted them on the packet so I’ll know next time I play it. It wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I...

A little too much for a 12 year old's birthday.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (53034) 14h

I normally don't follow many celebrities. And for sure, I have never, ever been a Kardashian fan. But a friend sent this to me and couldn't believe it was even true--evidently it really is. Kim Kardashian bought her 12-year-old...

FB thinks I'm fat

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (51077) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Jan

Why else would I be getting all these ads for various weight-loss thingies? You know the ones: gelatine, patches, don't eat this one thing, etc. etc. I made the mistake last month to click on one of those gelatine ones, just to...

Still here for a few hours

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125838) • United States 6 Jan

Lunch arrived. Hooray! It obviously wasn't amazing but after not eating for 2+ days I happily dug in. I could only eat about half of what they gave me but that is good enough. At least my stomach stopped rumbling. Then the doctor...
