    Massive earthquake rocks Colombia; major damage leaves 100+ dead

    We have been having more earthquakes in several places, it seems like, and some of them have been really severe, like this new one in Columbia. Just like tornadoes, there is no way to really know when and where an earthquake will hit, and even the smaller quakes can be deadly.

    Now Pigment has a new thing where you can upload your own photo from your iPad and it will turn it into a picture that you can color. Here is one that I uploaded of a horse, and how it looked after I finished coloring it.

    What's your Weather like today

    YIKES ! We have temperatures in the high 90’s F for the next 10 days here in Alabama, and NO rain at all showing up right now. This summer has been a mixture of really hot days, and then pouring down rain. It has been hard to be outside because it is either way too hot, or way too stormy...

    We just got a new toaster oven ! It is one that also has a built-in air fryer, which is great for making things like baked potatoes or roasting a chicken. It is a nice large one and shold be able to fit a pizza or a chicken with no problems.

    Last thing you ate

    I had a vegetable salad for brunch, along with a glass of fresh lemonade. Bobby just made a fresh pot of coffee, so now, we are both having a nice hot cup of coffee together.

    Last thing you bought

    I have been having peach iced tea, too, and I really like it. We never buy the bottled tea or coffee, or even bottled water . They are all just too expensive right now. I get the tea mix and make mine at home, and Bobby makes coffee by the pot, so we always have that to drink. We have a water...

    Japan earthquake live: Multiple people feared dead after shopping centre collapses

    We have been hearing about this on the news here, too. It sounds like it was a pretty strong earthquake. We have been having quakes off the pacific coast , but they are not as strong as this one; but we are overdue for some of the places that have large quakes, like the one that would be...

    Last thing you ate

    It is going to be in the mid-90’s here again today, so not sure what we will be eating, but I think I am not cooking anything today. A nice salad seems like it would do in this hot weather.

    Saying what's on your mind

    It depends. It depends on what the subject is, as well as who I am talking to. Sometimes, people have their mind totally closed to anything, and it is a waste of time to say anything; so I just let them ramble and ignore it. If it is someone who enjoys an actual discussion and considers...

    What's your Weather like today

    It rained overnight, but supposed to be in the 90’s F again today here in Alabama. Our ten day forcast seems like the same as it has looked most of the summer, hot weather and some rain mixed in. This weather has made everything grow like crazy here, plus it is hard to get outside and do any...

    Last thing you bought

    I bought a new water filter container for the kitchen. We have one of those Zero Water pitchers that we use when making coffee, but I found one that holds more water and filters it as you use it. You just put a cup under the water filter device, push the start button, and it filters fresh water...

    Last thing you ate

    Today, Bobby made some dolmadas, but he made them with fig leaves and not grape leaves. I was reading that fig leaves would work fine for make dolmadas, and sent Bobby the recipe, and he decided to make them. Today, he went out and picked some nice fig leaves from our backyard fig tree, and...

    Bitten by an animal

    Lots of times being bitten by some kind insects. Worst was one of those brown recluse spiders, and my arm got a huge red swollen area that had to be surgically removed, and left a scar on my arm. Other than that bee or wasp stings were the worst from insects. I have had animals who were...

    Plant based eating thread.

    I can understand that. Now that I am in my 80’s, I don’t go places like I used to do either, so most of my shopping is done online, and having groceries delivered. Between Walmart for groceries and Amazon for things i can’t find at Walmart, I can get most thing that are necessary. If you do...

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    This is what I usually use AI for also, and it seems to work good for me. I ask questions like “compare nutrition between parsley and cilantro”, and then it can give me a completely rundown of the nutrients in both plants. For questions like these, it seems to be pretty accurate becasue all it...

    My bird station

    Personally,, I like the open bird station, but like you say, you will have large birds and squirrels if you have the open one, and just smaller birds in the caged one. It really depends on what birds you want to feed. If you want to feed just the small birds, then it looks like the cage is the...

    Plant based eating thread.

    I have been reading about how amazon is getting rid of all of the American workers and now just hiring illegals, and i also agree that this is awful. Apparently, it is not just Amazon doing that, and from what i read, every corporation that has put in a non-American as their CEO has been doing...

    Plant based eating thread.

    I do not know about that. If you are someplace where you can order from Amazon, then they should be available. We have them here is regular stores, like Walmart or other large stores; but I have no idea what is offered in other countries. I had a regular ice cream maker for a while, but it...

    Plant based eating thread.

    I do not know what that is, @MamaFrankie . Can you explain what that means and why you think you can’t make easy ice cream with a Ninja Creami ? Okay, I looked it up and it is a motor skills issue. I don’t know if it is something that you would or wouild not be able to use. I put the...
