Who Has Too Much Clutter?

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (92279) • United States 8 Sep

Happy Tuesday Everyone! it's a beautiful, sunny, blue-sky day here today. We actually had a really nice weather for our long holiday weekend. After a fun weekend of barbecues and family life is back to normal today. My daughter...

patgalca Our home has always been cluttered. I hate it. I have packed up boxes and prepared to donate them but thrift shops don't like you "dropping your junk off". So it is hard to donate. My daughters still have school supplies stored in the basement. I may just take...

I'm not paying $25 to wear jeans to work on Fridays

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127987) • United States 7 Sep

Yeah--that's not happening. There is no official dress code. It used to an unspoken to never wear blue jeans/denim/etc but that was like out the window well over a decade ago. . . at least in our building. We are infamous for...

patgalca I remember Casual Fridays at my last job over 30 years ago. I think things became a lot more lax after COVID. Everyone wears casual every day now.

Look at that--people are using MapQuest again

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127987) • United States 2 Sep

Trump's megalomaniac personality has had him attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America", the Strait of Hormuz to "Strait of Trump", and now because he is pissed off at Canada he has directed the Interior Department...

patgalca Trump does not have the authority to change the names of places or international waters. He's on such an ego trip it makes me sick. Leave the rest of the world alone and fix your own country that you messed up by applying tarriffs.

I’m back! (please contain your excitement)

Amber @AmbiePam (127784) • United States 2 Sep

Well, it took a long while, but I got back with better teeth and a numb upper lip. That’s fine; it will wear off. I go back September 22nd to have a new mouthpiece made (I grind my teeth). I just hope I don’t chip my teeth before...

My latest purchase

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388825) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Sep

The photo shows my latest purchase. It’s a tote bag. I’m a sucker for anything ‘horsey’ but don’t often succumb nowadays. However, I couldn’t resist this. It's actually my Mother's Day gift after I gave Vince a great big hint. It...

Clever people in our village

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388825) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Sep

In the clubhouse at our retirement village, there is a small alcove which hasn’t been used for anything much. The area is being used at the moment to show-case the work of some of the talented people that we have in the village....

patgalca That is wonderful. Are they selling them? I wish I had some talent. Medication has caused tremors which limits what I can do sometimes. We lowered the dose of medication but then my pain increased. I really miss being crafty.

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (93671) • Rupert, Idaho 4 Sep

patgalca I have low iron. But stupid vitamins like to aggravate my stomach. So I have taken to eating a lot of tuna and some salmon. I tried dark chocolate but that just gave me heartburn. I did the intermittent fasting and lost 30 pounds, but have gained about 10...

Good morning! It’s around 5am, but I’ve been up for a couple of hours. That’s okay though, as I slept really well. Today is a doctor appointment, but afterwards is the real fun. The technician from my internet company is coming by...

patgalca Ugh! The internet and computers drive me crazy. I had to spend $300 to get extra protection, then my printer gave out (no print of blue ink) and now my laptop is hanging on one hinge. I may have to invest in a new one but the prices are NOT going down. I wish...

patgalca I used to love cut up bananas in milk topped with a bit of sugar when I was growing up. Now, it seems bananas give me a stomach ache, apples too for that matter. I love my berries. I have a bowl full every morning. Though I have started eating apples again,...

Cell phone at night…

Amber @AmbiePam (127784) • United States 17 Mar

I keep my cell phone on all night. I got rid of my landline years ago, so in the case of emergency I always have mine on for convenient dialing. My dad, on the hand, turns his off. When my awful terrible uncle (my mom’s brother)...

patgalca I monitor my sleep with my Apple watch. In order to get an accurate reading the watch (which is connected to my phone) goes into a sleep mode. It automatically goes into sleep mode at 1:30am and wakes up at 10:30am. There have been updates that indicate a nap...

Which pain is worse?

Amber @AmbiePam (127784) • United States 17 Mar

patgalca With someone who deals with chronic pain and depression, that is a hard question to answer. And some of the physical pain I went through was pretty bad (like when I feel on the ice in January, or giving birth ), but physical pain comes to an end...

Appetizer, Entree, Dessert

Amber @AmbiePam (127784) • United States 12 Mar

I could live on appetizers. Entrees are tasty too, for sure, but what people come up for appetizers are by far my favorite. And when it comes to me and desserts, I’ll just skip that. Of which of the three do you gravitate?

patgalca In most cases I will take the appetizer simply because having both an appetizer and entree is too much food for me. An appetizer can be filling enough.

Blue moon?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (52149) • St. Catharines, Ontario 4 Mar

Nope. It was rosy this morning at 6:30. And quite large, too. Nice to see, almost looked like the sun. And it is sorta sunny this morning, 1°C expected to rise to 6°C. Nice!

patgalca Actually, I heard it was supposed to be a blood moon. The eclipse was at 6am Tuesday morning. I happened to be up and the skies were actually clear for a change. Too bad the location of the moon had it covered by a bunch of tree branches. Wasn't much to see....

patgalca Thursday night the temperature went down to -17C. I woke up Friday morning to no heat. This happens every winter. I hate winter. Why does this have to happen. And it's too early for this. Fortunately I tried something and got the furnace going again.

Amber @AmbiePam (127784) • United States 1 Dec

patgalca I, too, have been away for a while. I usually post book reviews and got tired of doing it (plus not many people read them). But I just returned last week with exciting news (daughter getting married) and a book review.
