Saving Money

DE @DaddyEvil (179139) • United States 4 Oct

Pretty has been riding her new ebike around running errands since I can't see to drive anymore. She's gone to the Post Office to mail government forms, gone to the Family Service Center to register for me and gave them documents...

Loretta I think an e-trike is a fantastic idea. Maybe with her guidance, you can ride to some places.

When Hitchcock Decided to Look Into the Mind of Norman

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101358) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Oct

Director Alfred Hitchcock was a genius; there is no other way to look at it. He could take something ordinary and make it so it scared you to death. It was amazing what he did with "Psycho," and now this film is a good addition to...

We all know someone who needs to learn this.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (64083) 6 Oct

In my early years, my older relatives were a big influence on who I grew up to be. I am sure many others are familiar with this. There were things I was taught that were very impolite to ask, and a person should never ask them of...

Loretta I've had people say I look great for my age and I ask what are people supposed to look like at my age? I made a choice of no more dating after my boyfriend passed away in 2019.I am constantly told I "need to find someone", and encouraged to let them fix me up...

What Would You Do if You Found a Child's Coffin in Your Basement?

celticeagle @celticeagle (194701) • Boise, Idaho 8 Oct

In 2016 during the renovation of a home in the Richmond District of San Francisco workers dug up a small coffin in the basement. It was a 3- and 1/2-foot-long metal coffin. In it was the mummified remains of a 2–3-year-old girl...

Loretta I remember hearing about when it happened. The house sat on the Odd Fellows Cemetery, and her body was accidentally left behind during the movement of bodies. DNA later helped identify her through a relative. If I am remembering right, she was suspected of...

Love at First Bite

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (101358) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8 Oct

We cannot spend all of the spooky season scaring ourselves to death, so some comic relief in-between is welcome. I absolutely love this movie with a dark and handsome George Hamilton playing the fangy Dracula. The film “Love at...

That's so annoying...

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (90490) • Rupert, Idaho 8 Oct

We expected to have inspections coming up from our landlord soon. Normally they happen about twice a year. They are supposed to give a 24 hour notice at least. The annoying thing is she said they'll stop by on or any time...

Loretta It's very annoying and I would tell them you still need 24 hour notice. I mean, you could be in the shower, on an important call, or other private things.

Judy Story @jstory07 (149835) • Roseburg, Oregon 6 Oct

I had a mystery shop for $50 and one for $75. They were in Eugene which is an hour drive. But worth the drive for that kind of money. So we left early in the morning and did the two mystery shops. Went to my cousins house that...

Loretta Once in awhile, I'll watch dumpster divers, who find items businesses toss and the items the businesses didn't destroy, they either donate or resell for income. It's crazy what some find. Once you have a lot of subscribers built up, you can begin to monetize....

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (15475) • Ireland 8 Oct

My nose was cold when I woke this morning. Autumn air had crept into the bedroom through the open window, and it had brought with it the gardeny smell of decaying leaves. The temperature was just above freezing when I stepped...

Loretta I'm stuck on the temperature was just above freezing and then you went to the shore for a swim. Today, it was slightly less busy so I could stay inside and concentrate on neglected chores, computer stuff and have a quiet breather.
