Did you like Christmas stockings?

Amber @AmbiePam (108191) • United States 14h

My great grandparents and maternal grandparents used to have Christmas stockings for us kids, and I got way more excited about the contents of the stockings than the actual presents. Sure, it had candy, but other little things...

Lenore Plassman Truth? I couldn't do it. I guess I would get into huge trouble cause I can't do it. Especially old dressers and such. They do have wooden wheels but when we moved here I sternly told the movers to not rely on rolling those dressers. Going to have to pack...

How long does it take your dishwasher to run a cycle?

snowy @snowy22315 (200148) • United States 15h

This DW I have just goes on and on. I put these dishes in and started it around 9 AM and it hasn't even hit the dry cycle yet. It doesn't help that this is stuck on the Heavy wash phase, but I am not exaggerating it seems to take...

It is raining here! How is the weather where you live?

The Horse @TheHorse (233065) • Walnut Creek, California 13h

As I rolled over at 4 AM, I heard the unmistakable sound of rain passing through the gutters above me. I also noticed that it was kind of warm, perhaps around 50F. I did not really need my comforter. I slept in until about 8...

Lenore Plassman I write short stories and poetry. Some of my short stories have been 12 pages long so yes, it takes concentration to carry through a plot and keep all characters consistent. Good luck with your efforts.

Wow these pics from the Vanity Fair interview with Susie Wiles are nuts

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125609) • United States 19h

Not only are her comments in the interview pretty crazy (but still true) but the images are as well. I saw the one of Karoline Leavitt's (her lips) and I thought it was some grotesque joke. Nope the pictures are high-definition...

Amber @AmbiePam (108191) • United States 16 Dec

I know a few of you don’t have one, and obviously, you’re doing fine without one. I just like that I can do so much with it. I don’t use anything, but my phone. So far, I haven’t lost it either. A desktop was my...

Former Christmas Traditions

Amber @AmbiePam (108191) • United States 16 Dec

Is there something you or your family used to do during the Christmas season, but don’t anymore? My first thought was how when I was a child, we had four Christmas celebrations: my maternal great grandparents, my grandparents on...

Lenore Plassman I had fun with my front porch this year. It's glassed in. I put my blow mold Santa on a table so that he could be seen from the street. He has a light bulb in him. I also put a fake tree on a shelf out there and a sled on another table and a wreath hanging...

To garden or leave it to others

Judy Evans @JudyEv (367425) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Dec

Judy Evans @JudyEv (367425) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Dec

Did Donald Trump really fail to honor Rob Reiner after his apparent murder? Or is the Lefty press putting "fake news" out there?

The Horse @TheHorse (233065) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Dec

The Liberal press is claiming that President Donald Trump posted harsh words, not sympathy and acknowledgement, after the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife. Rob Reiner was "Meathead" on the classic '70s TV show. "All in the...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125609) • United States 14 Dec

So do you put bandages on your bruises?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125609) • United States 13 Dec

Trump has been seen with massive bruises and bandages on his right hand for many months. He tried to hide it with makeup and by literally covering it with his left hand. He seems to have given up on that attempt at subterfuge and...
