Trip To The Loo.

rakski @rakski (141730) • Philippines 22h

I think my bladder is being dramatic. The past two or three nights, I find myself making the same little journey, trip to the loo every two hours! It's like clockwork that I am awaken everytime. I should start counting it as...

much2say Ugh - yes - this happens to me too. I am finding that it happens when I know I have had too much sugar/high carbs that day. Also I find that it happens less IF I eat dinner earlier (we often eat pretty late). Someone else told me it happens with age, but...

He is using what is called the "Magic Minute" to speak on the House floor for as long as he can/wants to. It is a rule that is given to senior leaders in the House of Representatives. He has now been speaking for over 5...

much2say I caught it on the news when he was at 3 hours . Sadly, yah, it's just stalling . . . But "A" for effort on the tactic. I don't think I can talk about anything in front of people for that long. Disastrous bill.

The Washing Machine is Fixed!

DE @DaddyEvil (152324) • United States 2 Jun

I finally got ahold of the guy that I always called to work on my appliances. He informed me that he retired about 4 years ago, and for the same reason I was forced to retire. He has hyperthyroidism, too. We talked about that for...

much2say Ah, it feels SO good to get things fixed and off the checklist. I do know the relief of having the washing machine work like it's supposed to. Nothing like having good technicians too!

Google Went Crazy...

DE @DaddyEvil (152324) • United States 15 Jun

I woke up yesterday and wondered what time it was... I have blackout curtains in my bedroom so looking at the windows doesn't help figure it out. My phone is always beside me so I picked it up. In the upper left hand corner, it...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (45786) 2 Jul

By now, many of you have no doubt heard of ''Alligator Alcatraz''--a detention center for immigrants, located in the middle of the Florida Everglades. More like a tent type of city. Supposedly, it's maximum number of occupants...

DE @DaddyEvil (152324) • United States 17 Jun

I am working on peaches

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164499) • United States 2 Jul

We have eaten some, and I have peeled and sliced about a third of the box. I am freezing them in quantities that will make a good pie. I do not put any sugar on them, just some lemon juice, because I do not have any citric acid,...

Daylilies Blooming

DE @DaddyEvil (152324) • United States 29 Jun

We've lived here for over 7 years and didn't realize until last year that we had daylilies growing by our front porch. As far as I can remember, that was the first time they bloomed. I did dig in that flowerbed two years ago,...

Spaghetti

DE @DaddyEvil (152324) • United States 1 Jul

much2say I do break the noodles if I make a small amount to fit in a smaller pot. But otherwise, I use a big pot - and often the longer noodles do stick out of the water for a bit. But maybe after a minute, I can use tongs to stir it around so it all goes down in the...

Trump and Elmo are fighting again

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123467) • United States 1 Jul

rebelann1949 @rebelann (114215) • El Paso, Texas 25 Jun
