Judy Evans @JudyEv (304309) • Rockingham, Australia 6h

The photo shows another of the interesting items in the main street of Boddington, Western Australia but it doesn’t relate to the rest of the story. I wrote about a friend being a powder monkey so then of course I needed to...

The swimming pools allow one family at a time.

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (14216) 5h

In India in the sea destinations, the swimming pool authorities allow one family at a time. The reason is that the swimming pools are not very long in length. So if a swimmer wants to do freestyle or backstroke or butterfly or...

Geez, the cats have really been the theme for me around here lately. But I decided to have a little fun with them with a ball they like after work today and I think they had some fun. Something about anything that moves with a...

Sandy They definitely were having fun. I had a cat that liked to get into my yarn. What a mess I had when I saw what he was doing and put a stop to it.. One time he was so tangled up in yarn that I had to cut the yarn to get him out of it.

Do You Have A Chop Day?

popciclecold @popciclecold (32399) • United States 6 Mar

I was reading a post about food, and I began to wonder if you have a day that you just chop foods, like peppers onions, celery. It would sure make it a lot easier if it was already chopped and measured. What is your take, do you...

Sandy I usually chop my vegetables just before I need them. But there are times when I chop onions and peppers and freeze them. Especially onions cause I use so much of them.

Escaped the Rain

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (111558) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Mar

Sandy I am happy for you that everything got worked out. I don't understand about you being too old to get the insurance. I would think the driving record would be more important.
