Settle a debate for me! What are Fig Newtons?

April @thislittlepennyearns (65720) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 7 Aug

Don’t get me wrong—I know what Fig Newtons are. I’ve been eating those things my whole life. They’ve always been cookies. They live in the cookie aisle. They roll with the Chips Ahoy and the Oreos. We’ve never questioned it. We’ve...

Are they crazy?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50248) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Aug

Or just out to have some fun... Would you think to make a boat out of cardboard, especially if you weren't allowed to use any waterproofing? And two people in the craft... I wonder how long these 'boats' would last before they...

Americans are spending a lot less money due to the current state of the economy.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (47259) 4 Aug

There are many reports that Americans are worried and are cutting back on everything they can--vacations, car upgrades, groceries, clothing, and the list goes on and on. Many are now purchasing used clothing rather than buying...

paigea We've always been pretty frugal. Yes, we're eating out slightly less. And slightly less likely to have a drink. Maybe just an appetizer each. Less likely to have dessert. We were already like that so just slightly more thoughtful. Partly, it's just too much...

The Canadian cruise was almost called off.

Amber @AmbiePam (101627) • United States 27 Jul

So a lot of you know my dad, his wife, me, and my sister’s family are scheduled for a Canadian cruise (with a stop in Maine) in September. Which is perfect for me because with my back, I can’t travel far. Well, a new problem came...

paigea That is such a complication. It seems air lines and cruise ships could be more aware of each other's requirements.

"A Blessing for a Departed Warrior" is the title of the final novel in the Outlander series

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124282) • United States 27 Jul

Author Diana Gabaldon has been working on it for years. Her books are massive and take forever for her to finish. She just posted a lengthy post on Facebook announcing the title of the 10th and final book. I saw a 2 minute...

Fun activity for today

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (165358) • United States 26 Jul

I have a friend I met here, and on another site or two, and then in person because we lived about a half hour apart, a bazillion years ago. Our lives have pretty much gone different ways, especially since I moved much further...

Would you try this?

April @thislittlepennyearns (65720) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 26 Jul

There are quite a few “creators” I follow on social media (because calling them “people I watch from a distance like a raccoon with Wi-Fi” doesn’t sound as nice). One of my favorites is B. Dylan Hollis. He’s a self-taught...

The Philippines is a predominantly Christian country, and Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays are usually church days. This practice was introduced by the Spaniards when they colonized the country decades ago. Eventually, other...

100 Years of Modern Life: What’s Changed Since 1925?

Ms.Chelle @Chellezhere (6324) • United States 21 Jul

The woman who lives right above me will be 100 in just four months. Can you believe that? 100 years! Back in December 1925, things like television, telephones, radio, planes, trains, cars, electricity, and indoor plumbing all...

paigea Fun! I will die of lower respiratory infection when I'm 88. But if I get my BMI under 25 and change my diet from OK to good, I can live to 103 and die of cardiovascular. I'm feeling inspired! I met my dad's former teacher when she was 103. She remembered my...

It's another hot Florida day with bright sunlight. Not that I'm not thankful for it. I'm also 42 today, too. But, those things are just random content. What this post is is about is something different. You see a little over a...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44010) • United States 24 Jul

We always have our main meal around 2pm and then have a light something later. I cooked venison steaks with rice, gravy and fried okra and was getting a little hungry for a snack now at 8:30pm. I got out a container of...

You buttered your what?

April @thislittlepennyearns (65720) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 24 Jul

It's no secret that I live in the South. Living in the south comes with a lot of "special" food things. Not really recipes but I guess ways of making things. One of the ones I've heard over and over is butter on pop tarts....

How do you break it to someone?

Amber @AmbiePam (101627) • United States 24 Jul

I got in my friend’s SUV the other day, and I had to concentrate on not throwing up. It smelled so heavily of dogs it was almost unbearable (she’s the one who runs the rescue. It was so incredibly bad. I really didn’t think I was...

paigea That's a real conundrum. She probably thinks it's not worth cleaning as it will just get back to that state again. I think you need to tell her. An air freshener isn't going to fix it. It's the dog smell making you sick, not something she's doing wrong....

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124282) • United States 24 Jul
