What is it, that when you need it, you can never find?

Amber @AmbiePam (116050) • United States 20 Mar

For me, it’s a pen. I needed one today, and for the life of me, I couldn’t find one for the longest time. Of course, I came across it hours later when I wasn’t looking at all. Is there something you just can never find when you...

Loretta A nail file. Normally, I carry one in my purse, but seem to lose it after every time I use it.

Loretta I went on the day trip so we grazed on the way. I ate on some pork rinds and a Coke Zero. Once we were back, we went to a Mexican restaurant and I got the Chili Relleno. It was so good. Your sweedish meatballs sound so good.

English schools are still closed

Dominique @dodo19 (47828) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 12 Mar

My kids go to English schools in the area. On Tuesday, the English school board of the area said that schools would be closed yesterday due to the freezing rain being called for. As you can imagine, my kids were not complaining...

Guess who?

Toni @toniganzon (75395) • Philippines 20 Mar

The first thing I did upon getting my Kodak Charmera is to install the Micro SD card so I could play with it. The camera memory can only store 2 photos so you must use an SD card for it. Of course, my very first subject is my...

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (68479) • Centralia, Washington 20 Mar

My world has had mild temperatures with lots of rain. This morning I let the dogs out into the yard and thought, More rain! Hubby and I are listening to another audio book. Neither of us slept well. Toward afternoon he headed...

Any Good News Today?

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (55246) • Canada 19 Mar

Any good news come into your life today? I have a suspicion of a possible good news tidbit from work. I hope that I won't jinx it, but I noticed that I received an email with an invitation to a meeting mid-week next week. It...

Loretta It sounds like you are having a lot of good news. How wonderful. It's been a good day again today. Nothing exciting, but nothing to complain about anything. That is huge for me.

Are you nuts about nuts?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (375433) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Mar

Vince brought home these packets of nuts. They were given to him on Batik airlines. One is Spicy Salted Caramel and the other Cacao Cinnamon. It’s funny how ‘salted caramel’ has become flavour of the year and turns up everywhere....

Loretta Those nuts look so good. It does seem to be a salted caramel year for many things. That poor woman who was sick. It would be disappointing too. She must have been so severely so.

Do You Have Certain Rituals?

celticeagle @celticeagle (187035) • Boise, Idaho 15 Mar

I think we all have food rituals, things we eat certain times of the year. But do have certain music you listen to at certain times of the year, and movies you watch too? Like The Wizard of Oz for example. I can remember watching...

Loretta No, I don't. I did as a teenager and then quit by age 18. It was hard to quit and I tried many times as a teen, but finally did cold turkey and don't miss it. I'll be 67 in May.

And they came tumbling down…

Amber @AmbiePam (116050) • United States 15 Mar

This morning @GardenGerty mentioned the wind in Kansas, and let me tell you, it’s doing a number in Oklahoma. My dad’s house lost power because the wind took down his power lines. Thankfully, I still have power, but I am getting...

The neighbor

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (168196) • United States 15 Mar

LindaOH @LindaOHio (217219) • United States 15 Mar

5 days until spring. It's 68F today; and Tuesday night it will be 20F. Nutty weather. The reason I'm so late today is that I didn't have any heat from last night until about 11 am today. The batteries needed to be changed...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56343) 15 Mar

Is Kitty on a hunger strike?

The Horse @TheHorse (235926) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Mar

They both gave up the ghost in the same week.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56343) 14 Mar

Appliances and gadgets...when they work, they are great. When they don't work, it's frustrating, especially when it's a kitchen appliance you count on. Earlier in the week, my blender gave up the ghost and just died of old age....

The Learning Curve

Four Walls @FourWalls (84301) • United States 14 Mar

Loretta We use a rubber spatula to get frosting, mix and other out of bowls, cups etc. We use a squeegee for windows to get water off. The best part of mom mixing was getting to have the bowl after.

Big, big hail with these storms and tornadoes.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56343) 10 Mar

There was a tornado earlier, as @FourWalls mentioned in a post, it was south of Chicago but a bit north of me, in Kankakee, IL. The footage I have seen of the damage isn't pretty, it's sad and disheartening. One of our...
