Marie Coyle Yes, 2026 will arrive shortly. I hope this year is less stressful and that my son can have the two other surgeries he needs, and that his disability claim comes through. I hope ALL of us here will be blessed and happy.

Marie Coyle A sweet friend called yesterday and asked to stop by for a minute. She showed up with a plastic gift bag that has a HUGE ham in it. She left in a rush the week before Christmas, to care for her mother who had fallen. She said she had purchased it for us for...

Dodging bullets as well as a bushfire

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368201) • Rockingham, Australia 7h

There is a bushfire burning just south of Perth, Western Australia’s capital with fire-fighters facing an unusual situation. The fire is burning in an area that was once used by the army for training purposes, including firearm...

Marie Coyle Oh, my. That picture looks like one really hot, roaring fire! I am sure that was much too close for comfort, and beyond scary. Is this new bushfire anywhere close to where you are now? I sure hope not. Unexploded ammo is a huge concern!

What Is New Year's to Me

The last few years had and still has its ups and downs, and I learned a lot, cried a lot, and not feeling 2026 is my year. I've said that for several years, and lost hope expecting things will magically get better. I'm ready to...

Marie Coyle Loretta, your picture is so beautiful. It makes me feel peaceful just to look at it. As hard as I try, the words don’t always come out right. We all have that happen at times. You are in a hard situation and so is your son. Nothing happened in a timely...

Happy New Year’s Eve eve! The time is winding down for this month, this year, and this countdown. I have to give a big shout-out to Linda for suggesting songs with “boogie” in the title, although I’m pretty sure this isn’t what...

Marie Coyle Yes, I recall this, but no, it's not a favorite. And you are correct, it's not a boogie thing. But the lyrics make sense...he was jilted and planning to dance his heart out to help his sadness.

WTF is Erika Kirk even doing right now?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125721) • United States 28 Dec

Her MAGA GOP husband was assasinated a few months ago at a public event in Utah. I certainly never was a fan of Charlie Kirk. Still the very public and broadcasted video of his murder was awful. He was young and had a wife and 2...

Do you have any bumper stickers on your car?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125721) • United States 20h

I served on a jury this past year. I was dreading it and tried some of my best lines to get out of it but NOPE I was seated as juror #10. What I found interesting was after the seated jurors were selected...

Marie Coyle No bumper stickers. I never liked them. Our local police actually recommend that people not put them on, as often it is an invitation to vandalism. They also frown on people putting up the little stick figure family stickers, I'm sure you've seen them. People...

How big is your TV?

Amber @AmbiePam (109029) • United States 21h

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (127188) • Marion, Ohio 22h

Marie Coyle However you decide to spend the day, Happy Anniversary!! It’s very cold today. Currently it’s 15 and still fairly breezy. A few snowflakes now and then but not enough to stick, they just blow away.

Do you have any Christmas decorations that stay up all year?

snowy @snowy22315 (200734) • United States 30 Dec

I have a picture in my bathroom that is technically a Christmas picture but it doesn't scream Christmas. It is red and yellow with a bit of green and says joy and blessings. That is a nice piece and stays up all the time. I also...

Marie Coyle I have one, yes. My grandmother left me her nativity she brought from the UK years ago. It stays out. It's only a few pieces, not that large--Mary, Joseph, and the tiny manger with baby Jesus. I just can't make myself put it away. It doesn't really look...

Marie Coyle The son and I have been trying hard to have a normal sleep pattern. It's better than it was, but it just doesn't seem to happen for us on a regular basis. So that sometimes turns into naps that have to be taken or else we don't function. Very frustrating. I...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (44) • United States 29 Dec

I just started the scratch-off lottery ticket thing about halfway through 2025 but I think I'm going to stop buying them in 2026. I mostly stayed even until through the holidays they ran out of $1 and $2 scratch-offs because...

What do you think about people who push their cats in strollers?

Amber @AmbiePam (109029) • United States 29 Dec

On the channel I watch the morning news, they do a segment called What Caught My Eye. One lady played a clip of a 104 year old WW2 Navy vet playing the National Anthem on his clarinet at a New York Islanders hockey game. Touching,...

Marie Coyle A lot of the shops here will not allow dog or cat strollers anymore. There was evidently a lot of instances of using the stroller’s pockets, etc. as a place to hide shoplifted items. I personally would not do it, and you know I love animals.
