Locked 'em Up!

Jim Bauer @porwest (99172) • 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...

Jeff Moffitt Lucky duck indeed! First, glad you had a fun time on your camping trip. Second, I would have done the same thing, no matter what living creature was in the road. I'm not a fan of running over animals if I can avoid it. And third, I had to lock up my brakes...

A new poster for the clubhouse

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351864) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr

Our clubhouse has a notice-board which was inside the building but, unless you had your entry card with you, you couldn’t access it. It’s now been moved under the entryway on the outside which has left a big space on the inner...

Are there parts of your personality that have not changed in your entire lifetime?

The Horse @TheHorse (225880) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Apr

The two main things that have not changed in my entire lifetime are my love of sports and my love of music. If you were mute, and came to me with two baseball gloves and a ball, or two guitars, I would know what to do. Entire...

Jeff Moffitt My love of reading has remained steady in my life, going all the way back to when I first learned to read. Also, and people may argue this, but I am quiet and reserved and like to observe and study things before opening my mouth and commenting or adding my...

Stayed Chilly

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (115172) • Marion, Ohio 26 Apr

But I did get the dahlia bulbs into dirt. I fed the younger chickens while I was out there. Then I came back inside. I only have to go out one more time for the day to feed. I did get the dishes washed and put Rosie bot and...

Jeff Moffitt I'm jealous that your weather is still on the chilly side. It's already very warm here in Florida. Not quite "summer hot" yet, but warm nonetheless. Although, it is still nice and cool out in the early mornings, I've been trying to take advantage of that as...

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122583) • United States 27 Apr

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 50 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 65. I'll take it though I'm definitely ready for warmer temperatures. I woke up around 7am this...

Jeff Moffitt Teaching is one of those few careers out there where you have to actually work outside of work in order to get your work done. I guess that kind of sucks. Teachers don't get paid enough as is, and then are expected to work "off the clock" in order to keep up...

Do you get disappointed when…?

Amber @AmbiePam (97672) • United States 25 Apr

I had some good news so I told someone close to me. I expected a “Great!”, but got a “That’s nice”. It’s not their fault I was expecting more enthusiasm, but I was let down. Do you get disappointed when you share good news, and...

There go the tornado sirens.

Amber @AmbiePam (97672) • United States 26 Apr

They’ve got the big head honcho weatherman in the TV studio today, so that should have been a clue. Now the tornado sirens are going off. There is a lot of flooding too, but my town always floods during big storms. I’m not...

Happy Saturday

Kareng @kareng (73107) • United States 26 Apr

It is late Saturday evening at just after 4pm here. I thought I would throw up a post real quick. I've been going through notifications, but have a lot more to go. Today my hubby and I both took a walk outside. It was nice to...

Jeff Moffitt My daughter and I went to our community's local spring parade of homes. There were 25 homes in the parade this year, I think we visited about 15 of them over the course of the day. We love looking at new home designs and styles, even though I'm not in the...

How many errands do you line up in a single hour?

The Horse @TheHorse (225880) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Apr

I decided to challenge myself this evening. I am home from Guitar Center, and am short on gas and cigarettes. I ordered a spicy tuna roll from my local Japanese restaurant, and hope to get some gas and cigarettes on my way to...

Jeff Moffitt That's so funny that you mention this, because just yesterday when I got off work I had an hour to run some errands before I had to meet my daughter and gf for dinner. I thought to myself, I need to get gas, run to the grocery store, check my PO Box at the...

Emergency Room Visit After Urgent Care

Kareng @kareng (73107) • United States 25 Apr

If you have been wondering where I have been this week, I have been on bed rest. I did sneek off to the computer for a few minutes yesterday and I am back now. I'm bored with watching television, playing games on phone, and...

Jeff Moffitt Have you followed up to see if it is anything more concerning than just a sprain? Hopefully, your injury is nothing more than a sprain and will heel quickly after a couple of days of rest. I hope you are not in too much pain right now!

Trip to Urgent Care

Kareng @kareng (73107) • United States 23 Apr

My husband finally showed me his foot Monday after not realizing that he had a sore or a diabetic ulcer on the bottom of his foot. I was horrified to see that it was all infected Sunday. I got it all cleaned up for him and put...

Jeff Moffitt Being that I am pre-diabetic, I often examine my feet very closely for any signs of changes. My doctor told me that diabetics usually have feet issues that go unnoticed. I hope everything turns out well for your husband and that he recovers completely from...

They are back

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46089) • Staten Island, New York 25 Apr

Yesterday I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast for myself. Before doing that I decided to wash my coffee cup so it’s clean in time for coffee. In the process I noticed movement behind the window blinds. They were not...

Jeff Moffitt Panic is the last thing you need to do when confronted by a wasp. That gets them stirred up and then they become aggressive. The best thing to do is stay calm and not make any sudden movements. If you open a window or door, most likely they will fly out of it...

Does Mike’s Amazing Mayo live up to its name?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46089) • Staten Island, New York 22 Apr

I always buy Hellmann’s mayo. I always buy a 30 oz. jar and I usually never pay more than $4.49 for it. If I’m lucky I can get it for under $4 or even for $2.99. I went to the supermarket yesterday to get it as I was out but it...

Jeff Moffitt Duke's is my favorite mayonnaise (it's one of those brands that people either love or hate). I haven't tried Mike's yet, but I noticed a few days ago that my local grocery store just started carrying it. If I see it go on sale, I may buy it just to try it.

I think my student is depressed. I want to help her, but don't know how.

The Horse @TheHorse (225880) • Walnut Creek, California 24 Apr

In a previous post, I mentioned a student with whom I have been having "jazz jams." I can tell she really enjoys them. She already has Fur Elise, Bach's Minuet in G, and Carol of the Bells down. I decided to teach her how to do...

Jeff Moffitt Maybe you can throw out a few innocent open-ended questions and see if she'll respond or open up a little bit. Sometimes, you have to take baby steps to get people to open up. And many times, a level of trust has to be established before people will open up...

Nothing in the world will convince me this is the way to deal with homeless people.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (43168) 21 Apr

We all see homeless people. We even see homeless families, living in cars, vans, even tents...in the US, this is a daily occurance. Yes, it hurts. Yes, it's difficult to help some of them if they have a lot of problems--been in...

Jeff Moffitt Okay, that's going way too far. Even if he was joking, that's crossing a line, and I think he should resign from his position. I have personal views about the homeless, and they're not always the most loving/caring thoughts, but at no point would I want to...

And...Away We Go

Jim Bauer @porwest (99172) • United States 24 Apr

Jeff Moffitt Nice, I hope you enjoy your camping trip. Sounds like you will have a great time, plus enjoy great food. And hopefully, you'll win a few dollars at the casino to pay for the trip. I don't have much planned for this weekend. I'm driving to Tampa tonight (2...

Another new word for me

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351864) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

What's for breakfast on this sunny and warm Tuesday?

The Horse @TheHorse (225880) • Walnut Creek, California 22 Apr

Jeff Moffitt I made a ham and bacon crepe, with a fried egg on top of it. It was delicious! It wasn't that long ago that mentioning the word "retard" or "retardation" was considered politically incorrect. It seems the pendulum is swaying back again, as I'm hearing more...

RIP Roomba

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122583) • United States 23 Apr

Jeff Moffitt Oh goodness, what a mess that must have been. And you did the right thing throwing the Roomba out. Probably impossible to clean/disinfect it after that. I would have done the same thing. Spend the money on a new one and toss the old one away. And poor kitty,...

I Wasn't Awake Yet

Jim Bauer @porwest (99172) • United States 23 Apr
