So will maintenance finally show up today?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 6h

Well I don't gamble in general but if I had to bet my money would be on NO. I called A WEEK AGO about the dishwasher leaking yet again. . . and I don't mean some minor leak. I followed up with a call on Friday to see if anyone...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 56 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 83. Sweet! I slept okay last night. I took the Seroquel (sleep med) though so it was very...

I tested positive for Alpha Gal

snowy @snowy22315 (208493) • United States 23h

So, you may have heard of some people who have had tick bites going on to develop red meat allergies. This is a result of having Alpha Gal Syndrome. Testing positive does not mean you have the syndrome, but you could go on to...

Where are the neighbors?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 23h

It was never my dream to live in an apartment and in close quarters with others but hey life doesn't always work out the way we want or expect. I learned pretty quickly that everyone pretty much knows everyone else's business--at...

When something is too heavy to manage.

Amber @AmbiePam (120233) • United States 3 Jun

I needed to go to the post office today to send a package, but it was too heavy for me. I kept trying to figure out how I was going to get it down the stairs, into my car, and then into the post office. Now, back before my car...

A sweet and unexpected note from a student

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 3 Jun

I've been back at work for like 2 weeks now. I haven't been going crazy with trying to be some overachiever. I'm doing what I can (both there and here at the apartment) and trying to be gentle with myself. Some of the students are...

Tomorrow is a virtual day

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 1 Jun

Woohoo! I LOVE working virtually. I did it for a year when COVID first hit. There's nothing like rolling out of bed in your sweatpants 5 minutes before work starts and teaching with your coffee and cats. Tomorrow...

It’s Official: They dumped her Ashes

Amber @AmbiePam (120233) • United States 1 Jun

If you’ve been reading my posts, you probably know what I’m going to say. See, my mom had early onset dementia of the frontal lobe (she was 46 when she was diagnosed). We all decided since her case was so rare , and she wanted it,...

NJ Chicaa I'm sorry to read this. I hope that you can move past this pain sooner rather than later. I have no experience with dealing with the ashes of a loved one. Whenever I've had to put a cat down I just choose the option to spread them in a memorial forest. My...

Today is the official start of hurricane season here in the US

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 1 Jun

We have all sorts of weather here in the US--earthquakes, tornadoes, nor'easters, hurricanes, etc. Here in NJ the worst we usually get are nor'easters which are just strong rain storms. This state is not in the typical path of...

What are your must-have condiments?

Shasha @Shasha_ (1336) • Porto, Portugal 31 May

Sriracha is my absolute go-to condiment! I put it on almost everything—using it as a dip for my fries instead of ketchup or mayonnaise, and stirring it into my spring roll sauce, dumplings, noodles, and even noodle soups. It's a...

NJ Chicaa I can't say I have a "must have". I always have mayo and mustard (whole grain and dijon) in the fridge but I don't use them all the time. I do also have relish, sriracha, hot sauce, etc. Rarely used.

Love them, hate them, or be totally indifferent about them, there really is something about the Beatles. And, starting tomorrow, I’ll prove it to celebrate Paul McCartney’s birthday. There will be two...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a go start. It is 45 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore at 4am. The high today is 77. I guess that is okay though I'd like to see 80s or 90s. I went to bed early so here I am at...

So much for the Freedom 250 Trump concert

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 31 May

Well that only took about a week to implode. Trump's administration announced a "Freedom 250" concert that would occur in Washington DC in July to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary of freedom. The lineup of...

Federal judge ruled that Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127097) • United States 30 May

GOOD. He has no business having his name on an establishment meant to honor John F Kennedy. Trump installed a new board there which just-so-coincidentally happened to vote to add his name to the institution and BEFORE JFK's....

What was the last movie you saw?

Amber @AmbiePam (120233) • United States 29 May

This afternoon, I’m going with a couple of friends to go see the new movie, “The Breadwinner” starring Nate Bargatze and Mandy Moore. I don’t expect it to reinvent the wheel, but I do expect to laugh a lot. What was the last...

NJ Chicaa Who knows? Could be a Harry Potter one. Could be Liar Liar. Could be Top Gun. The last "new" one I saw I think was "Where the Crawdads Live".
