So, I'm writing a book -- or I'm soon to start writing my book, at the moment it's just a lot of notes! -- and I've been exploring which route to take when the time comes: whether to go for an agent and a traditional deal or...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @Borlotti That's how far down the list of best-sellers I am. Nowhere near the top. That's not how many books I've sold. It would be wonderful if I sold that many. I would be financially secure. Thank you for checking me out.

I am a biology student. Maybe I can have more technical information about the covid vaccine. But I am curious about people's opinions on the covid vaccine in general. Do you trust vaccines? Would it be okay if the government said...

svde There is an obligation to wear a mask in my country and I support this as well. Because individual behavior causes social consequences. But the insurgency is a little more complicated situation than that. Convincing the people to the rebellion and bringing...

I was watching the news today, and media reports a new strain of the corona virus. It was said it is 70 times worst than what we have seen. How in the world could it have happened. I just began to pray. I can't even imagine...

As of last midnight the Netherlands is in semi lockdown again. Only necessary shops like supermarkets, pharmacies etc. are open, the rest will be closed until January 19. Schools are closed too. I think it's the best solution,...

Sissy15 The US does it a bit differently. We go state by state and county by count. Most of the US closed down in March and schools closed too except for essential businesses that is. We were closed until I think May or June I don't remember now but people here are...

I read that we will soon be getting the vaccines here and that even with them will have restrictions. So, will they be better than nothing or what? I do not know what the restrictions will be but am wondering since so many here do...

ShannyBananny @Marisawriter my mother carriers an epipen. I should carry one for when I get stung by wasps or bees but I don’t have one. My daughter and I have severe allergies to certain antibiotics.

My "pop psychology" thought for the day. I've come to the conclusion that every human being NEEDS to feel part of a tribe. It's a fundamental part of our nature. I know that for many people, their "tribe" is their nation. But...

Titia Geertman I think I may well be the exception. I'm feeling very comfy with and on my own. I never go to birthday parties or other kind of parties. Not even those of relatives. Mostly because I have enough after 5 minutes, but as it is not polite to leave after 5 minutes...

Just an Ordinary Owl? Yes, the vaccine will help to prevent whoever accepts it from developing the disease and therefore will reduce the risk of them passing it on to someone else but, more importantly at first, it will help to prevent deaths amongst those who are highly...

Hanni Harel @Marisawriter Thank you for the information you gave me. Normally I would do it but since I am very afraid to be around people not sure what I will do. Very wise to see how it affects those that get it.

Juliaacv That is an amazing poem. It touched me as my own mother is suffering from Alzheimers disease and no longer knows my brothers and I. Sadly she often speaks the name of our daughter, who died during infancy. What a cruel disease to remember the pain and not...

John Hansen Yes, I agree, humans have probably never really evolved from the tribe mentality. Most of us need to belong to a group of likeminded individuals, whether it be your dance tribe, a church fellowship, large family group, a sporting club, or a tribe of fellow...
