I needed a change in my life. Have you ever needed a change in your life?

I had a good day at Guitar Center today. Both Gunnar and Matt were a delight to teach. Plus I had a new (guitar) student who seemed really enthusiastic. He is maybe eight. I sent him home with some simple chords to practice....

Lena Kovadlo I’ve never bought frozen dinners before. Only exception is Trader Joe’s orange chicken, and chicken and shiitake mushrooms. I definitely need to throw away old clothes and make room for new ones.

4/30/25 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (187490) • United States 1 May

My husband's 2nd cousin called me last night to rant about her brother. She must have talked for at least 10-15 minutes. That's the most she's said to me in several weeks. I guess she's over her snit. She couldn't come over on...

One Place I'd Love to Be Each May 1st

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94526) • Arvada, Colorado 1 May

Because of some of my roots in Oxford, England, each May 1st that goes by, I sorely miss not being there for the very traditional and special, unique, historical May Morning celebrated like no other anywhere in the world! I miss...

No Show Rental Adventures

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94526) • Arvada, Colorado 29 Apr

Well, they never showed up yesterday for the income restricted apartments. I had to call corporate once again to report them. The corporate were astounded but had no solution. Guess they don't want their apartments rented, only to...

Tuesday Challenge 04/29/25

Jim Bauer @porwest (99233) • United States 29 Apr

The Tuesday Challenge has evolved a bit since a year and a half ago or so when I first started doing it, and so far, I have accumulated $1,401 in my envelope. It's such a simple and fun way to save a little extra, which is...

Lena Kovadlo I’ve not done this, however, I’ve got some money from income tax return in an envelope that needs to go into the bank. It earns no interest being in an envelope.

Locked 'em Up!

Jim Bauer @porwest (99233) • United States 28 Apr

Well, I must say, the camping weekend went fantabulously, aside from some cooler nights and a bit more rain than we would have preferred. But hey, that's camping. Even when you have all the luxuries of home, or most of them, you...

Romance

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94526) • Arvada, Colorado 28 Apr

I can't believe Billy Ray is 63 already. But this, to me, is the most unlikely match. Elizabeth Hurley, 59, Hugh Grant's x girlfriend, is now with Billy Ray Cyrus. Well hope they will be happy in their Tennessee Weekend. I loved...

Toasted Coconut Coffee Creamer

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (124028) • Gainesville, Florida 27 Apr

Suffering the Consequences

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94526) • Arvada, Colorado 27 Apr

Lena Kovadlo It’s good that the monuments people are coming to your house to pick out the headstone. Saves you the trip and the hassle. I hope it won’t be too expensive. I guess the garage people need stuff out of the way if they replace the door. Bummer that no one can...

Hurt My Back

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (124028) • Gainesville, Florida 23 Apr

I hurt my back yesterday at work, and I was in extreme pain all day long. And this morning, I could barely get out of bed and move around. Sadly, I wasn't even doing anything strenuous when it happened, I'm pretty sure I was just...

Lena Kovadlo He was quite the procrastinator it seems. I love beets. Shredded beets with fresh parsley, prunes, and mayo is delicious. And borscht (beet soup) is comfort food. I also love cold beet soup (holodnik) which is perfect for hot days.

Lies, Rumors and a Lot of BS

celticeagle @celticeagle (173824) • Boise, Idaho 20 Apr

Lena Kovadlo Awesome that the roof is done and that you didn’t have to pay to get your satellite dish working again. Hopefully the rest of the stuff won’t take a long time to do. Our renovations took a long time but that’s because we had only one guy and this wasn’t his...
