So the other day I ordered my groceries online at Walmart to be delivered. When I opened my door to take them inside, I found this note attached to one of the bags. I thought it was such a great gesture. How are...

When the new contract went into effect at work this year duty coverages were supposed to be paid at the same rate as class coverages: $45.53 for 40 minutes. It only makes sense since you are spending the same amount of time doing...

Marie Coyle That will be great, to get that money. Of course you earned it, but it's nice they are finally paying what they should be paying all along. I'm glad for you.

Oh, once in a while, I have moments when I think things like--is it Tuesday or Wednesday? I keep a running list of appointments each week and plan accordingly, but still...sometimes, it's hard when I get busy, and/or when the son...

Some of you may recall I wrote recently about some legal papers we sent to my son’s lawyer. This disability business takes forever! Anyway, although I sent the papers via Priority Mail and also registered, so that they had to be...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck In my country, even our leader doesn't respect the laws. He just ignores them.

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck In my entire working life, I never went without a job. If we moved and I couldn't find a job I liked or wanted, I took a lesser job but kept looking until I found the one I wanted. If someone wants or needs to work, they find a way to get a job they...

I have realized in the past year or so that my taste buds have been undergoing a change. Not drastically, but it's there. At first, I thought I was just stressed (well, that's a sure thing!) so I have been doing some research and...

Like many people, I pay some bills online. The power bill is one of those. I've done that for a long time now--I could have it automatically taken out, but they don't always honor the day you request it to come out of your...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck That is just so true. I wish you had someone to help you and give you a little break now and then. I need that as well, but my daughter and son in law try to help when they are not caring for his parents. I know some days are hard, really hard.

My cousin recently lost his wallet. He tried everything he could to retrace his steps, he notified law enforcement, etc. but nothing. He was so upset and frustrated. He went back to the police station twice. The second time, he...

What a weird day it was. We started out hot and foggy and very humid. Had off and on storms all day long--some dumped rain, some were mostly wind and a bit of rain, and one was what I call a gullywasher. It has thundered off and...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck One of my uncles wanted a new truck, this was some time ago. He saved for it, as he wanted to pay cash. He made his decision and picked up his new truck. He had it less than a week, and it was completely destroyed by a horrible hailstorm. I felt...

I started my day off right. How, you may ask? By watching dog reels on Facebook. There’s nothing like a talking Chihuahua or a hug prone Doberman to get you going well. How do you start off your morning? I’m...

Marie Coyle In my case, I would have to answer to ''how do you prefer to start your morning'' vs. ''how do you start your morning.'' My aim is to get up, and head for the coffee pot. I go brush my teeth, because that's just what I do. Pour some coffee and go over that...

Marie Coyle It's just so sad. I know we were required to pass certain things and memorize multiplication tables, had constant spelling tests we had to pass, math levels, etc...it really is shocking.
