I live in the northeast, and it seems that around here summer is coming to an end. Signs of autumn are visible now. Here is a tree a spotted, with its leaves already turning yellow. How is it where you live? Are there signs that the season is changing over?

I think a lot of people want to do what they can to help someone who appears to be in need of a bit of assistance. I know I see it all the time. People will offer to open doors or reach something in a high spot, or even help with a shopping cart, as you have said. And yes, sometimes I do think we offend people by offering to help them, though I don't know why this is so.

You can watch how-to videos at their si...

DeenaD responded to a discussion called How much do you depend on the net for information? in internet.

You know, it's funny. We were just talking about this at my house the other day. When I was younger, we had to use encyclopedias to look things up, and sometimes we went to the public library to do research for projects. Now it seems that everything you could ever want to know (and more), you can find the answer on the Internet. I know I get all of my information there! I don't think I could ev...

DeenaD responded to a discussion called Is Coffee Good for a Child? in children.
4 weeks ago
I definitely think that young children should not be given coffee to drink. It contains a large amount of caffeine, which is not good for them. It habituates them to the taste of coffee at a very young age, which runs the risk of turning them into coffee addicts later on. And furthermore, it may stain their teeth. Now, having said that, I know one lady who gave coffee to her young granddaugh...
