My Coffee Deal Broken Down

Jim Bauer @porwest (111560) • United States 3 Nov

It's no secret to anyone who drinks coffee—prices have shot up recently. Even the bargain bin option—Walmart's Great Value—has been running nearly $14 for a 40.3 ounce can last I checked. [i]That's $5.56 per...

Does this sound good?

Amber @AmbiePam (107955) • United States 2 Nov

City Bites (primarily a sandwich shop) is offering a Thanksgiving baked potato. A huge potato topped with turkey, stuffing, gravy, and a side of cranberry sauce. I’m not sure I could do the gravy on it. I realize we put gravy on...

Giving Yourself a Shot

Amber @AmbiePam (107955) • United States 29 Oct

Can you give yourself a shot? Needles don’t bother me, and when I was about 14, over the counter migraine meds quit working on me (I’ve had migraines since I was 8). So, at the time, insurance covered migraine shots. I was too...

Amber @AmbiePam (107955) • United States 21 Oct

I talked to my 14 year old niece a long time today via FaceTime. She wants to come up and stay with me a few days, but I don’t think my sister wants her staying at my apartment complex. And my dad said he doesn’t have the energy...

Something Sweet

Amber @AmbiePam (107955) • United States 18 Oct

Did you ever play that game “Would You Rather” when you were kids? For instance, someone says would you rather be a principal or a stay at home parent? Questions like that, and most are far fetched because it’s children asking the...

Jim Bauer @porwest (111560) • United States 1 Sep

At some point the gates of the asylums were let open (in fact, in the 80s), and so, sometimes you encounter some rather interesting people on the sides of the road or in other places. You get all the usual fare. People talking to...
