Would you sell a kidney to buy a phone?

Diana @dya80dya (14614) • Romania 3h

Some people sell a kidney to buy an iPhone. I read an article about that. They thought that they don't need both kidneys. They had serious problems after that. I wouldn't do something like that. It's illegal to sell kidneys....

Ah, such is life. Just sitting here waiting for our UPS LTL freight guy to show up to pick up our freight shipments. Ladee, da. Gosh, I hate waiting, and it seems such a waste of time. I could be digging into an ice cold beer...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I always pick up pennies sometimes it's a nickel, but rarely. It's good to know where taffy originated from.

Ordering Olive Oil Online

Belle Starr (Iz) @BelleStarr (43463) • United States 11h

I love high-quality olive oil and especially if it has been infused with flavor. When I was in Florida I went to two different olive oil stores to buy small bottles to sample. Here in Connecticut, the local store has lots of...

Valerie J. Routhieaux That's great they wanted their pictures taken. Lovely photo. I hope those sessions materialize for you. I wouldn't want to be where you are. The heat would drive me nuts. I'm not looking forward to it as it is. Today we're in the 60s, which is fine by...

Hi Friends! Recently I was treated by a friend to tickets to "Stars on Ice" when it was in Minneapolis at the beginning of the month. We had box seats - and the first thing I noticed was that we were alone in the box. I felt...

Valerie J. Routhieaux He's good, but I don't understand Spanish but could see those jumps were not easy ones. I've been to Disney on Ice many years ago and took my granddaughter with me. I know they were famous skaters and the program was wonderful. I'm sorry the costumes were...

These Roses Bloom Too Early This Year

M.-L. @MALUSE (50427) • Germany 6h

If you knew the German name of this flower, you'd understand the title. The English name for the depicted flower is 'peony'. Yet, in German, it is called Pfingstrose = Whitsun (BE)/ Pentecost(AE) Rose. Not surprisingly, this name...

Valerie J. Routhieaux Thank you for that information. I knew peonies were some of the first flowers to bloom in spring, but I didn't know when. I usually know when Pentecost is and knew it is coming soon, but not the exact date, so I thank you for that information as well. I...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I see some that I can't agree with completely. I've been a procrastinator most of my life. I don't consider myself a perfectionist, except maybe with my writing. I'm rarely satisfied with it. I can see that definition for the perfectionist, not the...
