LindaOH @LindaOHio (207451) • United States 3 Dec

107 days until spring. Sorry I'm so late. After a couple of days without sleep, I kept falling asleep this morning. I did manage to get my bank statements and half of my 2026 calendar done yesterday. Now I just need to...

Jim Bauer Taxes. Such a dirty word, and frankly, a pain in the ass. For dinner I made baked chicken thighs, and we just had leftover sides with it. Lots of stuff to use up.

Not Green Bean Casserole

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (53892) • United States 1 Dec

A friend of mine was getting ready to make green bean casserole for Thanksgiving and got quite a surprise. All of her cans contained beets instead of green beans. I have never seen this before. Fortunately she found some cans in...

Jim Bauer It hasn't really happened to me, but I have heard of it happening. It takes a LOT for a mistake like that to actually make it onto store shelves—I worked in the food industry for some time. But occasionally it does happen that something falls through the...

I carried a turkey

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48346) • Staten Island, New York 1 Dec

It was supposed to be just my mother and I for Thanksgiving so we decided we weren’t gonna do a turkey. But then my uncle called her and told her he wants to come over with his wife for Thanksgiving. And my sister-in-law asked us...

Shoes -- On or Off?

Deep-Or-Whimsical @DeepOrWhimsical (40) • United States 1 Dec

Do you, as a rule, take off your shoes and leave them outside, by your door, before you enter your home? Or, do you wear your shoes inside? Also, can you share your thoughts about those choices?

Jim Bauer We have no issue with shoes being worn in our house. When I am at someone else's house, if the rule is to take your shoes off, I feel very uncomfortable.

Starting to see more lights popping up.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (81066) • Daytona Beach, Florida 29 Nov

With two days left in the month, I'm starting to see more lights popping up on neighbor's houses. My next door neighbor, as you know, put out his decorations early. And the neighbor on the other side of the street , his next door...

Jim Bauer A lot of people around here decorate shortly after Halloween, which I think is too early personally. But people do it all the time. The guy down the street has a couple of 10- or 12-foot skeletons he decorates for Halloween with, and for Christmas he puts...

When Are You Putting Up Your Christmas Tree?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (35) • United States 30 Nov

Back when we had a real tree and I decorated for the holidays, we would put it up on the day after Thanksgiving. We now have about a two foot tall pre-lit table tree and we weren't going to put it out this year but it's Oliver's...

Jim Bauer I don't have a date yet but so far, tentatively, we will be hosting Christmas around the 27th, the weather outside is frightful, and so we might try to start decorating sometime this week or maybe this weekend—inside of course. Outside, we'll see if we can get...

Jim Bauer 106. Wow, I'd love to live that long so long as I have my health, mostly, and can still do things I enjoy. Seems a lot of people do live longer these days, but its still rare to see people living past 100. Always amazing to read a story about one who has,...

Jim Bauer It always seems slow around here, to me, anymore. We've lost a lot of active members and we don't seem to be picking up anyone new. The site really needs a refresh in the sense, it needs to find a way to promote itself. Not sure the owners are interested in...

Happy Thanksgiving

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (125859) • Marion, Ohio 27 Nov

Jim Bauer It's a cold one today here as well. It is what it is. We won't have our Thanksgiving gathering until the 29th, so tonight I'll probably just make orange chicken. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

Democratic Madness: Undermine Military Leadership and Refuse Orders

DB @dgobucks226 (37016) 26 Nov

Recently, a Democrat video was shown on the airwaves encouraging insubordination to intentionally drive a wedge between the military and the commander-in-chief (President Trump). The media from both the left and right have...

Jim Bauer Every time the Democrats employ these sorts of "tactics," the word insurrection comes to mind. Strange that they never see it when they are up to actual insurrection, hey? But think nothing of that. Trump's the bad guy and that's that. Who cares if it's true?
