April's Responses

Way to dry.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84264) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 May

Despite it being spring, we have not had enough rain. Today George and I took an unplanned impromptu drive. We went through a new subdevision with a mix of empty lots, houses under construction and fully completed homes. During...

April we’re at burning ban for week. The adjacent county lifted theirs over the weekend. But I haven’t seen anything about our county lifting.

I shouldn’t have said anything.

Amber @AmbiePam (118961) • United States 9 May

Last night I shouldn’t have vocalized my fear that my electricity would go out. Although to be fair, it didn’t go out until an hour after the storm was over. That was about 8:15pm. Around 8:40pm I was headed to my dad and...

Stacey @xstitcher (38775) • Petaluma, California 10 May

I was listening to the messages on my phone, and one of them was from "someone from Social Security." At first I thought, "What the heck?" then looked on line about "Why Social Security would call." It said something about...

Crazy Sunday.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84264) • Daytona Beach, Florida 10 May

Today we had an interesting Sunday. Not only was it race day, but we actually went out before the race because George wanted milkshakes. So we bought milkshakes. When I got home, we had a strong thunderstorm that knocked us off...

Does anyone care about the World Cup?

Amber @AmbiePam (118961) • United States 10 May

Soccer (football to the rest of the world) is not that popular in America, although it grows, especially in youth leagues each year. But people love to cheer for their own country, so even here the World Cup is well watched. It...

What’s on tap for your weather weekend?

Amber @AmbiePam (118961) • United States 8 May

Well, my favorite (least obnoxious) news channel has let our weatherman take over the network, and has for quite awhile. They’re letting me know by the minute the storm will hit our town, isn’t that nice? We’ve apparently got five...

Well, What a Royal Pain in the You-Know-What

Jim Bauer @porwest (112195) • United States 7 May

Just when the season starts, that's the last time you want to run into a problem. But things break when you need them, while you're using them. That's just how it works. But what a royal pain in the you-know-what. I went for my...

April We have a 55 inch zero turn. You of course know what that means. At last I think you do It stormed all day yesterday so the grass is too soupy to do the grass today. But maybe this weekend. I keep hoping you’ll do a live.

Amber @AmbiePam (118961) • United States 7 May

So, I really appreciate those of you who prayed for my stepmom’s son-in-law. They finally said he was well enough to have his quadruple bypass heart surgery yesterday afternoon. My dad texted me around 8:50pm last night to let me...

Cost of living is annoying.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84264) • Daytona Beach, Florida 5 May

My Netflix subscription went up almost two dollars. I knew it would, but seeing it reflected in my bank account made it hit home. I miss the days where twenty dollars could get a month's worth of groceries, instead of maybe a...

April I splurged a couple months ago and got Netflix back, but everything we wanted to watch was on the higest tier. So we paid it for two months and then I paused it. Because i cant justify almost thirty bucks for it.

George and I have been a long day. We headed to Walmart, our seeemingly second home. We needed to get a few things, so we did. We spent more than I'd planned, but my OTC card took care of a good chunck. We also hit MCDonold's...

Does your doctor work weekends?

Amber @AmbiePam (118961) • United States 20 Apr

My primary care (a nurse practitioner) is the first “doctor” I’ve ever had that saw people on Saturdays. Obviously, you can go to the ER or Urgent Care anytime you want, but seeing a regular doctor on the weekend is unusual...
