    At what point does inquisitive become nosey?

    I have always had an inquisitive mind. When I get bits of information about anything, I like to know and understand the whole of it. And it can be anything, I'm not just talking about gossipy people news. However...sometimes it is about people. I don't pry nor do I ask invasive questions...

    My freezer was left open a crack.

    So I just went downstairs to get some sauce out of the freezer for dinner and the freezer door was open! Just a crack, but I have no idea for how long. Looking thru my freezer, most stuff is still frozen but the stuff at the very front, by the open part has thawed, but is still cold. When I...

    Word love: What is one of your favorite words?

    Going off another post about word aversions...I thought "What about those words that we just love?" So what words do you love to hear or say? I absolutely love the word "kerfuffle". It's just so fun to say. Unfortunately, it's not a word that is used anymore, at least when I'm in younger...

    A little scared, LOL!

    So I saw one of those posts where whatever song was #1 on "whatever" day will predict "something". This particular one was "Whatever song was #1 on your 24th birthday is how 2024 will be for you". So I did a google search...First chart I saw...S.O.S. by Rhianna. Second chart I saw...Bad Day by...

    Ever Surprise Yourself?....Odd little Story.

    After dinner yesterday, my niece got the hiccups, and they were pretty intense. Me, my niece and her Dad were just chatting when I just stopped and said...here try eating a couple olives...it might help.

    So, I'm kinda freaking out a bit...creeped out. The phone rang, and it showed "unknown number"...Now, I usually don't answer the phone unless I know who is calling but something in me said to pick up as my husband sometimes comes up as "unknown number" and we've been having some health issues...

    HI! So my husband decided to get a shop cat. He partnered with one of our local rescues and took in Seymour, he was recommended by the the rescue people because of his personality and what not. He is much more of a loner cat and was not doing well in a shelter environment. He was...

    You know you're old when....

    Saw this and giggled...because yes, it's a great feeling using a new scrubbing sponge. There are a few other things I've experienced over the years where I thought...I'm so old now that "blank" makes me happy/excited. One was when I bought a new washing machine and dryer. Seriously, that...

    What did you dream about last night?

    I'm a vivid dreamer and I dream every night. Sometimes I'll only remember little tidbits and other times I'll remember everything. Of course when I recount the dream it often doesn't flow right and doesn't make sense in real life...even though it made perfect sense in the dream. I also get...
