Police Were Here...

DE @DaddyEvil (164206) • United States 15 Dec

The police banged on our door this afternoon. They were hunting for a scruffy looking guy and showed us his photo so we could tell them if we'd seen him before. (Somebody told them he came to our house often. ) We...

YoghurtGal Oh dear I had the same question as Anna . It’s a shame they woke you up from slumber. Sometimes when interrupted sleep does not really feel the same.

Strange Lunch Outing

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (86170) • Rupert, Idaho 18 Dec

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? We (me and my husband) went out to lunch at one of our local favorites because it had been quite a while since we had been there. If you try to go on a Friday, you may not even get in...

YoghurtGal When I was living in the Philippines power outages are quite common. But I can understand the shock. As now that I have moved to UK I have only ever seen a power outage twice and that’s before the back up generator kicks in.

New Word to Learn

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (92172) • Daytona Beach, Florida 15 Dec

I came across a new word today and thought it sounded kind of ticklish. The word is "clishmaclaver," which captures the buzz of conversation like little tales, whispers, and asides like in gossip. The word has Scottish roots. So...

YoghurtGal That is actually a good way of getting things done. I think I can apply that to my visa processing requirements. That’s the biggest project I struggle with at the moment due to my procrastinating nature.
