Every time I look out there are MORE cardinals out there in my yard. I think they have passed the word that I put out good treats and food. When I come to the door to try to take pictures the birds all fly away. So this fuzzy...

Richard Living in Thailand is like living in a jungle! Almost everything will grow...that is, except for my attempts. I could have a plastic plant die!

How I relate to you differs..

vanny @vandana7 (98684) • India 28 Nov 18

You could be very nice towards me, but horrid towards a family member. Should I be leaving you knowing fully well that there is no reason to. I know that I cannot take my equation always in relation to how a person is towards...

What did You Have for Lunch?

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (4948) 28 Nov 18

Today, I cooked a pretty simple Filipino dish. It's called Adobo sa Puti - stewed Pork in Vinegar in English. "Puti" actually means white color. Adobo can be cooked in different ways; its most popular version is with dark soy...

Do You Like Watching Stage Musicals?

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (4948) 29 Nov 18

Richard I have not been to a musical in many years when I used to live in Los Angeles. My favorites were "Cats", "Dream Girls" and my all time favorite was "A Chorus Line". In fact, when Chorus closed in LA, I flew up to San Francisco and saw it there.

Richard Receiving a large paycheck is nice, but not worth the risk of losing sleep and other anxieties that may come with it! You didn't say anything negative but when I was working I just wouldn't stop at any cost to my health. 80+ hours a week was regular for me.

Richard I only remember having one role model and that was years ago. He was a man who made a lot of plans and most of the results were successful. I guess he was the person who told me to never give up!
