Cry Baby!

Jo Ann @akalinus (44366) • United States 17 Apr 24

Alex, our black cat, has been crying lately. He looks so cute and so pitiful that we feel sorry for him. I think he has spring fever and wants to go outside. He does not understand the dangers of coyotes, alligators, cars, and...

DB @dgobucks226 (37621) 22 Jan 22

Jobs I'd Never Want: Pilot

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 15 Sep 19

This is a little ironic, I grew up on an Air Force base for a fair chunk of my childhood. I used to want to be a pilot, I even spent time in simulators on the Air Force base, and loved it. I even remember being very young (about...

Jobs I'd Never Want: Volcanologist

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 15 Sep 19

I have seen enough volcano disaster flicks to put me off ever wanting to be a volcanologist, not that it was a job I ever really thought I'd be suited for anyway. I also read about a volcanologist named David A. Johnston who was...

Are you familiar with the term - AUTOMATIC HANDWRITING - ? Well I once read a book about that topic. Apparently you allow yourself to hold a pen or pencil on a pad of blank white paper and wait until your hand virtually starts to...

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 29 Dec 17

This may well be the strangest and most hazardous lighthouse in the land. Built in 1879, it sits a little over a mile offshore, 20 miles south of the Columbia River. It was the most expensive lighthouse ever built. There was no...
