Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48713) • Denver, Colorado 5 Nov

If you pay enough attention, you’re going to notice a certain decade dominating this particular series. I started crossing off songs, and here we are. “So This is Love?” was the first of four singles released from Van Halen’s...

Have you ever seen the like?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (391053) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Nov

When we first to the retirement village in Perth, we went to a couple of garage sales and bought several plants in pots. One was this philodendron. There are many species and varieties of the plant with many grown as ornamental...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (102) • United States 5 Nov

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (102) • United States 5 Nov

Okay, this is a collage of how I've looked all these years (on the left) and how I look as of last night. I won't say "before and after" because the "after" isn't done yet. I'll still be healing for a couple of months and the...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (102) • United States 5 Nov

Well, as much as it as I could. My husband and I have this thing we call “happy food face” that he gets when he eats something that he’s really wanted and it makes him happy. Well, today, I actually had happy food face. I had a...

How's this for a flower?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (391053) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Nov

This is just an excuse really to post another photo of my philodendron flower. Chat says it’s most likely Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum or tree philodendron. It can be hard to differentiate between several of the species. I...

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48713) • Denver, Colorado 6 Nov

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (102) • United States 6 Nov

Now really, I'm okay, and I'm not trying to be a complainer, but it's just funny how much can happen all at the same time. I have a history of migraines. I had gone maybe a whole year without any, then in August I had 13...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (391053) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Oct

I’d never heard of slam poetry but it originated in Chicago in the 1980s and was first brought to Australia in the ‘90s when Words Travel CEO Miles Merrill moved here. Merrill says there is no such thing as slam poetry and it...

Go Away - "Fly Away"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (48713) • Denver, Colorado 29 Oct

We’ve just three songs left before Go Away goes away. Forever. (The “forever” sounds better if you read it in the voice of Squints from The Sandlot.) Anyway, time for some classic 90’s funk rock, courtesy of the...
