Do you use a backlit keyboard?

Diana @dya80dya (33512) 24 Apr

A rabbit pen

Polang @tkonlinevn (6370) • Vietnam 21 Apr

What do you use the pen for? To write. So the pen just needs to be full of ink and have smooth strokes!? Is that true?. No, the pen also needs to be cute and unique :) That way it will attract children to use it! And makes...

In summer it is better to bring fruits in tiffin

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (17949) 23 Apr

I have hectic schedule in the summer. In my university i bring fruits for tiffin. That includes bananas, guavas, grapes. They are easy to digest. They are watery also. So the stomach remains filled.

An Old Historical Silo Up the Street

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (86754) • United States 20 Apr

This building is on 90th St here. It is circa 1912 and was built by John Wick. Apparently in the deed, it is not to be torn down as it is historical now. It was part of an old farm before the Countryside Estates were built. There...

jaishankar @RebeccasFarm It really looks creepy.What we have here is not a historical building;but a dilapidated house at the outskirts of the town.It's an abandoned house.People believe it's haunted.

Snow Eating

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (86754) • United States 21 Apr

Does your dog like to taste and eat the snow? I watched a very funny video of a dog eating snow here locally. He is a Doberman and this is him eating it. But does your dog love the snow or no? It seems they love to play in it.
