Gas prices up in California.

The Horse @TheHorse (234479) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Jan

I have seen gas prices higher, but they are rising now. Are they changing where you live? I can still make it to and from my band mate's house for about $15, but it's a bit of a pain. I think we have another practice tomorrow,...

Ptrikha_2 They should not be rising. International Oil prices have been depressed in fact. Yes, there could have been a temporary spike after Prez Trump kind of gave a hint of "action" on Iran. However, that action does not seem very likely. Here, Gas prices are steady....

Ptrikha_2 Enjoy the snacking, or whatever helps in this weather (more tea/coffee perhaps! ). No favorite but I like some Indian sweets, pastries and different Indian salty snacks. Sometimes Nachos as well. However, now I try to be careful and avoid over eating.

Setting up my new Chrome book

snowy @snowy22315 (202268) • United States 24 Jan

I didn't mention on here but about a week and a half ago, I spilled no more than a tablespoon or two of coffee on my keyboard. I cleaned it up promptly and it seemed to work fine, but later I noticed several keys were dead and I...

Ptrikha_2 That is very bad. You can perhaps get an external keyboard to work with. Is it an HP laptop. I feel that some of the new HP laptops are sensitive and need to be handled with care when having Tea or Coffee. We got a new mobile phone a couple of months back,...

Beans with everything!

Fleur @Fleura (33695) • United Kingdom 26 Jan

Do you like beans? One crop I seem to have consistent success with is beans, mainly climbing beans. Some years it feels like the only thing I can manage to grow! I grow runner beans (red- and white-flowered varieties), climbing...

Ptrikha_2 I think one or two names are in the final stages of being appointed as the new Bond. It won't be the same however. I did watch this movie on Amazon Prime Video in early 2022. It not only has the thrills and action but high on emotion as well. However, I rate...

We got a new microwave

Judy Story @jstory07 (147309) • Roseburg, Oregon 24 Jan

After ten years our microwave quit working. My first though was it might be higher because of the tariffs. But it was about the same price So that made me happy. Took the microwave home and unpacked it. Two cats came running...

Ptrikha_2 So well, boxes are good for cats! Greetings on the new microwave. Do you have any special microwaveable dish containers, apart from Glass. We have some glass containers but handling glass needs a very high care.

What this morning looks like.

Amber @AmbiePam (111741) • United States 25 Jan

We had more snow overnight, which brought us up to 7 inches (my sister’s area got more). The picture is the view from my “patio” door to the back. At 4:16am, it is 7 F (-14 C) outside, with more snow expected in a few hours. I...

Ptrikha_2 While the sight of such snow looks pretty, I suppose, it is not something to relish with such a low temperature and such extreme cold providing challenges when out. I suppose it also means that your winter electricity bill would have gone drastically up. Stay...

Ptrikha_2 Isn't Freezing rain more dangerous, in that if a little bit snow melts and there is slush, there are more chances of people slipping. Or, vehicles skidding. Anyways, stay warm and careful.

At this time, datewise, in 2015, we were in Ireland and my notes say we were on board the ‘Oscar Wilde’ ferry heading for France. So this photo must have been taken somewhere near Rosslare and I guess the name intrigued me. A...

How foggy is it, Horse? It's so foggy that I can barely see my truck in the parking lot. OK, that was at 7:30 AM. That's the kind of fog that makes even the stupidest of drivers slow down. . At 9:30, I can see my truck, but I...
