Marie My sister and I looked around and yes the facilities can be super expensive. In the end we kept both of my parents home. It was very challenging and felt so overwhelming. It was not easy, but in the end we are so glad we had them home until they each passed. I...

I ate a persimmon yesterday

snowy @snowy22315 (199739) • United States 7h

I don't think I have ever eaten a persimmon in my life. I was curious to see what it tasted like, and it was very good. It seemed to me to taste like a cross between a pear and an apple. I really liked it. I know sometimes they...

The dirtiest things in most people's homes

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (51966) 7 Dec

Today has been strange. We woke up to a thin sheet of ice on everything, so obviously not much was moving out there. Then it finally reached about 33 degrees for 90 minutes or so, some of it turned to water (we still have the snow...

Chili Ingredient Debate

Amber @AmbiePam (107745) • United States 7 Dec

I’m not a chili with beans, eater. However, that doesn’t mean I won’t eat it with the beans. But, I hate chili made with sausage instead of hamburger meat. My stepmom recently made her yummy chili with sausage, and I choked it...

Marie I make mine with beef or ground turkey and I like cheddar cheese and sour cream on it. Pinto beans are my preference if I put beans in it. A time or two I have put chicken in it and made a white chili with navy beans.

Have you gone to see the Christmas lights yet?

Amber @AmbiePam (107745) • United States 6 Dec

This is a picture taken at the Tulsa Botanical Gardens the other night when my sister and BIL took their kids. It’s best, apparently, to take kids with eye problems like Hudson’s at dusk to see lights. Not that they don’t go when...

Jim Bauer @porwest (111589) • United States 28 Nov

It's not my first rodeo, as they say, dabbling a bit with YouTube. All said, I have three channels. None of them are monetized, and so far, none of them are "successful." But I also can't say any of them were [i]endeavors of...
