Life changes

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44166) • United States 12 Sep

I'm a little old to be realizing this, but nothing in life stays the same. Not health, wealth, or relationships. Sometimes in our early adult years, life gets a little predictable and we don't think about change. They seem to...

DE @DaddyEvil (159817) • United States 28 Aug

Pretty went online and bought a heavy duty plastic shower chair and a grab bar for our shower stall. I had to call her for help when I couldn't get back up off the tub floor a couple of weeks ago. It was embarrassing for both of...

Many churches have been locking their doors during services.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (48524) 28 Aug

And no, not just since yesterday's Minneapolis shooting. I didn't realize it was even going on, but evidently in many churches now, it is. As I have said before, I lived for a time in a small town in southern IL. My best friend...

mynameiskate I can understand it is a matter of security, that all that is a desire to protect people. However it sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124758) • United States 30 Aug

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 61 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. That is unseasonably cool weather for this area and time of year. The high for today is 80. I was up late and then...

mynameiskate Yes anything below 100% is cold considering we were what climatized with 3 or was it 4 heat waves this summer. I've got a silly cold and taking it easy until it finally disappears. The sooner the better. My cleaning lady is on strike = me.

Weed in Cars

Jim Bauer @porwest (107560) • United States 29 Aug

Let me preface this post by saying that I am not against the legalization of marijuana. However, ever since it has been legalized, I smell it now almost everywhere I go, emanating from cars. In some places it's so strong...

They told me to quit recycling (What?)

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52535) • Philippines 25 Aug

Today is my second day of staying up late because of my torn clothes. I went out to the kitchen and dining room to greet them good morning. My aunts told me to stop recycling and that no one was inspected. I don't know how I'll...

mynameiskate Did you ask your aunty why she thought recycling was not the thing to do? Maybe she doesn't care or doesn't believe in it. Depending on what you are recycling it can be a good thing to do or it isn't working. There are a lot of factors. Paper and metals make...

An unexpected find

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363021) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Aug

I thought I’d written about this before but maybe it was on Bubblews. We went to a garage sale a long time ago. It was held to raise funds for a church so there was a great many items there. Vince found a golf bag and clubs which...

mynameiskate I find it amazing that you are still referencing Bubblews. Why do we remember some things more than others? You are not the only one it seems.

We are all facing serious global warming problems. What are your contributions to save Mother Nature? As for me, I walk and avoid biking whenever possible. And a lot more things I do. How do you contribute?

How Much Screwier Can Things Get?

celticeagle @celticeagle (179722) • Boise, Idaho 19 Jul 24

After Trump's RNC speech on Thursday, his odds of winning the 2024 Presidential election went from 2/5 on Thursday to 8/15 on Friday. Percentage-wise it went from 71.4% to 65.2%. The guy can't seem to do a speech now without...

marguicha @marguicha (228544) • Chile 30 Apr 24

It will be a chilly night as it was a chilly day. So today I decided to use my electric heater instead of buying an electric blanket. And I added another light blanket to my bed. Being cold makes me more sleepy. So I will turn...

mynameiskate It's amazing how much heat the body makes if it stays under the covers. My place tends to go up and down though with the furnace so I try to remember set it lower at night but not too low.

mynameiskate Lots of people are quiet and shy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being introverted. Sometimes it can even be a big plus. The label introvert can sometimes unjustly have a poor reputation. Not true. I had a friend at one time who had to deal with that...

Self-Worth

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2575) 30 Apr 24
