Jim Bauer @porwest (112874) • United States 18 Aug 22

I like to trick myself, sometimes. You see, I play the lottery, and one of the ones I like to play is the Lucky Day one, which is an Illinois only one that draws twice a day. It starts off at $100,000 and rises by $50,000 each...

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1187) • United States 4 Apr 22

I am. And its exhausting. And it doesn't matter how or where. Now that it's spring, I try to find a musician partner - for either live playing, or other work, usually online requests. I did get an e-mail, and we exchanged a...

Hi guys, Hope all of you are doing good. I am doing good too. I feel it's sometimes hard to find the combination of beauty and brains together in someone. I feel there are few people with this...

What did you inherit from your parents?

Teddy @ThreeTeddies (2038) • United Kingdom 24 Jan 19

I don't mean what family heirlooms or valuables your parents left you I mean what characteristics did they give you? Was it something you are glad to have inherited - perfect teeth maybe or good looks? Or is it something you...

Well, I fixed it

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169448) • United States 16 Dec 18

I have a very inexepnsive jewelry armoire. I have been disappointed in it, it has been rickety. I emptied it last summer, planning to get rid of it, but I still have tons of costume jewelry. It is compact, and stands on the...

Moving On Up.

Kandase @Kandae11 (57231) 21 Aug 18

Which would you rather have - beauty or brains? . It is true that some people do move up the ladder of success faster when there is beauty of face and form , but if brainpower is limited, such persons will not remain at the top...

My daughter has an app on her phone where she can look at "Cool Facts". Yesterday she told me that "curvy hips indicate smart women who will have intelligent children". Hm. So it's not that smarts beget smarts. Gotta have...

Dilemma

Sakina @sakinasaifee18 (575) • Mumbai, India 30 Jun 17

Would you rather get uglier or dumber? Of course most people would prefer intelligence, but you have to admit in today's society beauty often overpowers brains.

Today was a dangerous day for me.

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 7 Mar 17

From 5 am when I went to try to sleep, until about 2 pm, I kept waking up. I would sleep for 5 minutes, sometimes up to 20 but I was awake soon after. That's dangerous in and of itself. However, I'd pop a cough drop in my...

SMART WIFE --LONG LIFE

Kandase @Kandae11 (57231) 22 Dec 16

Men who marry intelligent women live longer lives -- so say researchers. Apart from living longer they found that fewer men - with intelligent wives - suffered from age related illnesses such as Alzheimer's or dementia. I am...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382036) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Dec 16

@youless has just posted asking if the reader would eat fish heads. Apparently fish heads can be fried or made into a soup. There is a mix of responses and it made me wonder about the things we eat without turning a hair and those...

I have both a pickup and a car. One day I had planned to take my pickup somewhere. I rarely drive my pickup so I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to how much gas is in it. Anyway, I jumped into my pickup and fired it up. I...

Genipher @Genipher (5405) • United States 27 Apr 16

I've had a card to our local library for some time now but I just recently took a good look at it and I noticed something strange. Their motto, so to speak, is, "We Grow Brains". My library is growing BRAINS! I love going to the...

The Placebo Effect

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128835) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Jan 16

When it comes to our health and well-being, our mind controls our body way more than we like to admit. This isn’t just voodoo witch medicine. Just the very thought of taking medicine often makes us feel better. What our minds...
