Day 316 (Ecclesiastes 11:7-10) Truly the light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun. But if a man lives many years and rejoices in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many....

Fleur @Fleura (34925) • United Kingdom 7 Feb 23

At the weekend I went to the local pub with some colleagues, and there I saw a young couple having a quiet drink together. Nothing unusual in that except that the woman had obviously undergone treatment with lip fillers. Although...

I am freaking out

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52140) • Staten Island, New York 10 Sep 22

We are remodeling the entire master bathroom, which means everything we put in will be brand new. A vanity with a sink is one of these things. I remember when I measured our old vanity it was slightly over 35 inches. Of course,...

The Horse @TheHorse (238275) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Oct 19

Back in the late 1980s, I was asked to be in Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering, or something like that. I submitted my information, and actually was included in that Volume. No, I was not interested in buying that...

This very funny 1980 country and western hit by Mac Davis addresses not only the problems of celebrity stardom but also the appalling vanity and Narcissistic egotism of celebrities convinced they are the best, most handsome and...

One of the reasons why I love Jesus.

Robbie Lowdown0 @RobbieLowdown0 (69) • United States 4 Jan 19

One of the reasons I love Jesus Christ is because He wasn't a respecter of persons; this shows me God is ultimately fair and sincere; if we're trying to be like Jesus, we wouldn't be a respecter of persons either, yet are we?

Make-up Boon or Bane?

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23530) • United Kingdom 30 Oct 18

Make-up application is an art form. Learning how to apply it had definitely improved my self esteem. It made me feel prettier. It hides my under eye circles and pimples from working night shifts. It is said that make-up levels...

Missing My Long Hair

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23530) • United Kingdom 23 Oct 18

The other day Facebook reminded me of how glamourous my hair was before I ruined it with chemical dyes and too much straightening. I really am trying to grow my hair back back to its glorious days but I can’t seem to be able to....

The Horse @TheHorse (238275) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Sep 18

I just received a phone call from Who's Who in America. Because I've published a bunch of "scholarly" articles, and because I've done good stuff in the community, they want to give me a "lifetime achievement award," which includes...

Do you like having your picture taken?

The Horse @TheHorse (238275) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Oct 17

I'm one of those who does not like having my picture taken. I find it very hard to "smile for the camera," probably because it looks fake, and I know my eyes aren't into it. It's less difficult if I have sunglasses on, but I still...

Fish and Ponds

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 1 Aug 17

No, not real fish in real ponds. If you remember, I had this roommate who we evicted just over 2 years ago. Now, before she lived with us, she lived in Kaufman Texas. Not a large town even though it is the county seat of...

It doesn't makes sense at all reading the opening Chapter of "The Book of Ecclesiastes" (Ecclesiates 1:2) when King Solomon says, "Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity".(NKJV) So strange for King Solomon to have...

LOST IN VANITY.

Kandase @Kandae11 (57233) 20 Dec 16

My ex husband was so vain, he would sulk for days if he found himself ignored at any gathering or function. When we were dating, his obsession with his looks wasn't that obvious - and the little I was allowed to see of that part...
