They threw away $400 medication.

Amber @AmbiePam (119713) • United States 23 May

I really appreciate my dad getting a couple in our church to clean my apartment, but I had no idea they were dumb enough to throw clearly marked medication of vials that cost $400 (insurance wouldn’t cover it). Clear as day, my...

Loretta Someone needs to pay for it, whether it's your day or those who tossed it. It is a big deal and he is making it like it's not. I would change my locks and say no more coming without you there.

That Spare Key

celticeagle @celticeagle (189339) • Boise, Idaho 23 May

Many of us have a spare key that we have hidden around outside our home incase we need it. It's a must have in emergency situations. But with the onset of robberies and unscrupulous people coming into even the most secure of areas...

Loretta When I lived in the forest in Oregon, I kept one on the other side of the transformer box near the mini house and up at the main house, there were so many granite rocks in the flower bed, so we put a key mixed in. With ring cameras, we would be notified if...

Time to Re-Color the Hair

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 22 May

It's been maybe 6-8 weeks since I last colored my hair. It was looking normal brown and starting to show the silver. So I'm sitting here with my hair covered in hair color waiting for it to "cure" or whatever it does until I can...

Loretta That is a very pretty color. I stopped dying my hair March 23, 2023. That was the last time before going full time in my travel trailer for almost three years. I have a mix of brown, red, gray and silver. I love your color and if I ever go short again, I'd...

My "Friends" Still Haven't Said Anything

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 22 May

Here is a before and after photo collage of me. The right side is me 6 months ago (Nov. 2025) - the left side is me last week. Now granted the picture on the right isn't a very flattering angle, etc. but surely you can tell a...

Loretta Like the others said, they are not your friends. I know it's hard to let people go who are not good for you, but I hope you will some day. You look fabulous. Absolutely stunning.

Do you ever go to bed early?

The Horse @TheHorse (237955) • Walnut Creek, California 22 May

I used to stay awake until 1 or 2 AM, grading papers, and still be ready for my 8 AM class. I am not so sure I could do that now. Am I "old and full of sleep," to quote my late father? It is only 8:30 PM, but I look forward...

Loretta I have a couple times, but was sick. Usually I can't fall asleep early. No matter how tired I am in the day, I can't nap either.

We helped build a shed

Judy Evans @JudyEv (380558) • Rockingham, Australia 21 May

We’ve been away overnight. We stayed with my brother-in-law and helped him build a garden shed. We are all into DIY (do it yourself) projects and welcomed the chance to help with the shed. We've helped each other out many times...

With what do you need help?

Amber @AmbiePam (119713) • United States 21 May

Is it your back? Your neck? Your feet? I got what is in this picture free to review, and I cannot wait to try it. It’s hard to do much for arthritis in the hands, and I’m really hoping this aids in the problem. Could you use...

Loretta Yes, to all the above. I have pretty bad psoriatic arthritis all over my body with my fingers and hands deformed. Let me know how this works. Something I miss is dipping my hands in heated wax and wrapping with a warm cloth.

More blooms

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69039) • Centralia, Washington 21 May

I couldn't get a decent photo of these orange poppies AND their purple petunia neighbors. So you just get to imagine the combo. I love the delicate paper thin poppy blooms. Very artistic to me. Daughter mail today. Every month...

Good Evening, Thursday, 21 May

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323128) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 21 May

It's been a day! I had my infusion this morning. Yeah, it didn't go like I hoped, but it was better than the last time. Only two pokes instead of four. My appointment was for 9 AM. Because my veins are never cooperative, they...

Did You Read That the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Has Been Officially Renamed the Tidy Bowl Reflecting Pool?

The Horse @TheHorse (237955) • Walnut Creek, California 21 May

I don't agree with Donald Trump about much, but I agree with his decision to rename the reflecting pool. I think the thing was originally built in the 1920s, and that it has had some leaks and other structural issues...

Loretta The first thing that came to mind was Tidy Bowl cleaners. I didn't hear about this. Sounds like a good plan for once.

Now Playing on the Groove Machine - Apocalypse Dudes

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43437) • Denver, Colorado 21 May

Hailing from Nesodden, Norway, Turbonegro formed in 1989, playing a melding of punk, glam, and metal, or, what they call “Deathpunk” (their name translates roughly to “fast dark.”) The band rocks denim; no leather for these guys....

For free?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169152) • United States 18 May

You may remember some of my neighbors took down a big cedar tree that had splintered out due to heavy winds. They had left the bigger pieces until a later date. That date had not yet come for them to split it and remove the...

Loretta How wonderful for him to offer to cut your grass again for free. The cedar would be a great payment for him and for you to get it cleaned up. Such a great win all around. I got a free Starbucks and Dutch Bros for my birthday. I didn't have to use them on the...

Karma, the Final Equalizer

celticeagle @celticeagle (189339) • Boise, Idaho 18 May

Loretta He is due for a medical checkup and dental exam on May 26th. I saw bruises on his hands that look like mine do when I bump them. Old age bruises from thinning skin. I did see he has some known age-related vascular issues. At 79, that's a given. No matter who...

A Hairy Home

celticeagle @celticeagle (189339) • Boise, Idaho 18 May

I tend to forget this about hair: We shed about 100 or more hairs each day. About 90% of the 100,000 hair follicles we have are producing new hair at any given time. The other 10% are in a resting phase called telogen. Hair falls...

Loretta Oh, Marie, you had such an overwhelming day. How scary to hear $250 increase and then it being a mistake, only to hear $60, still unacceptable. I hope your son can get his disability soon. They take so long to approve.

Loretta Those things are like wearing floss. I hope it was a joke. Then again, there are some elderly that like to wear the "girlie" things. I have an 80 year-old friend who wears them. I asked doesn't she feel murphed all the time?
