Sad to see them go

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 10 Mar

My daughter came to visit for 4 days, and now she's gone. I haven't seen her since Christmas, so it was an amazing visit. Now that she's gone the day suddenly seems not so bright and everything seems kind of sad, and it will take...

Not for eating!

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 3 Mar

I love jigsaw puzzles but I have one problem and that is lack of room. I usually only do 300 piece puzzles and that is still pushing the boundaries on whether the entire poster board that I have them setting on will tip over. I...

Bruise

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 28 Feb

I fell the other day very hard against my bedroom door, and apparently my middle finger on my left hand took a huge amount of the fall for me. It's not broken, but it's bruised on all four sides and it's a very dark bruise. I...

Think Twice

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 26 Feb

People should think twice before buying an RV. They are so very expensive to maintain. If the tire goes bad and a mechanic has to show up with a new tire, then it can be over one thousand dollars for the tire and labor. In the...

It's not the fall that hurts you, it's the sudden stop at the end.

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 24 Feb

Judge Judy's doctor told her if she wants to live a long life then make sure she doesn't ever, ever fall down. Well, I didn't seem to follow that advice, and today fell down. It's my biggest fear to fall and break forever...

Best Concert

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 22 Feb

The best concert I've seen live was the Newsboys also featuring Delirious. Two drummers for the Newsboys were on a round surface which lifted off the ground making the drummers sideways. Soon it started to spin like a Ferris wheel...

Checks in the old days

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 21 Feb

I remember ordering checks from coupon pages in the Sunday paper, since it was so much cheaper than ordering from the bank. I loved to order a space background or some Sci-fi type, which were hard to find. It took a long time at...

Cinders

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 20 Feb

Poor Cinderella, she was always filthy with dirt and soot covering her clothes, skin and hair. She liked to stay on the hearth near the cinders to stay warm, hence the name Cinderella. Some things I've read said that her skin...

History Dad

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 20 Feb

People have spoken of history in truth and fiction from the beginning, but what is considered the first historian was Herodotus (c. 484–425 BC). He tried to separate fact from fiction for the first time and became known as the...

Paste

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 19 Feb

When I was a kid we used paste to glue things down on paper. It came in a round container and the lid had a small stick to swipe the paste on the paper. I didn't think they made it anymore, but Elmer's still makes it with the...

Reading Goal

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 18 Feb

My reading goal this year is 50 books, but I'm not too sure if I can pull it off. Right now I'm in good shape with 2 books ahead of schedule. I started to read all the Miss Marple books by Agatha Christie and they are so very...

Picnic

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 18 Feb

I haven't been on a picnic in a long time. I thought it would be nice to go soon and have one since our weather is so warm. I'm positive that I have an old time picnic basket around here somewhere. I just need to find it and dust...

Rain Scene

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 14 Feb

I always thought the Bambi rain scene was the best part of the whole movie. It's just funny and sweet, and mommy's and babies are running for cover during a storm. Well, I showed it to Edith, my 3 year old great grandchild and...

The last of my Thanksgiving Napkins

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 13 Feb

A week after Thanksgiving, I saw several packs of Thanksgiving napkins at Walmart for 25 cents each, so I bought several packages just to have at my desk, and this is the last one. Do you buy discounted holiday items and use them...

My Mom's Old Hymn Book

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 11 Feb

I look through this book and think of my mom playing these old hymns on her piano. She would play for hours sometimes, and she was so good at it that she played at her church. This book is exactly 70 years old, and even though...

Miss language Expert

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 10 Feb

My little great granddaughter, who recently turned three, wants everyone to be precise with their language. I saw for lunch that she received a grilled cheese sandwich, so I asked her if her mom made her a sandwich for lunch....

Darkness

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 10 Feb

Complete darkness is one of my biggest fears these days, and I always have a lantern or flashlight nearby. At one time, I only slept in the dark and it didn't bother me at all, but now it feels as if I see shadowy things, hence...

Poor (Rich) Sylvester Stallone

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 9 Feb

I was making a list on the Razzie which is the Raspberry awards. I saw Sylvester Stallone has the most nominations and the most wins. He has 40 nominations and 12 wins. How does someone keep going on making more movies after...

Scary Ocean

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 9 Feb

Two things scare me concerning our oceans. One are killer whales. The way they hunt together as a group is terrifying. No one stands a chance when they come after you, and they have been known to sink fishing boats. Number two is...

The 1980's are so old!

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8764) • United States 9 Feb

For a long time, when I looked at pictures from the 80s they looked quite normal to me, but now all I can think is how old fashioned it all looks. The movies, fashion etc. look like it's from a different universe. Of course,...
