Our Neighbours Uganda had their president sworn in for a 7th term

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3480) • Eldoret, Kenya 13 May

I am a proud African, almost independent of any leadership as I am mostly self-reliant in terms of basic needs. I mean I hardly expect food, shelter and clothing from our government. Healthcare is scandalous and amenities are...

Relatives get more active at helping during burial arrangements?

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3480) • Eldoret, Kenya 13 Apr

Around here in Kenya it is commonplace for relatives to play dump when one gives a distress cry. A few will turn up when one requests for help to offset bills, raise school fees, or even start a business. Funny, when somebody...

Even the youngsters couldn’t help me

Fleur @Fleura (35031) • United Kingdom 3 May 24

Yesterday afternoon I was working at a business event and the whole organisation were super security conscious. You couldn’t leave the foyer without a security pass, meaning that as temporary staff we had to be given cards to open...

Logic. What Is it Good For?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 8 Nov 23

Logic. Sometimes it works. And sometimes it just falls flat. I recall, many moons ago, when I worked for Coca-Cola. Like many jobs we hold throughout our lives, I was simply ready for a change, and so I applied at a corrugated...

Little Ironies of Life

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 22 Mar 23

Have you ever thought sometimes there are little ironies in life. Take this simple one between a short person and a tall person. If you are short and you ask a tall person to help you reach something up high this is considered to...

Why Do I Talk So Much About Money?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 2 Feb 23

Well, the long and short is that I know a thing or two about the topic. How to earn, how best to spend, how to plan and budget, how to save and invest... And I like to share it. Why? Because hopefully it helps someone. Because I...

The Quiet Man

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1187) • United States 23 Dec 22

Does anyone see the irony of Maureen O'Hara not respecting John Wayne in the beginning of the movie, when he was friendly, civilized, etc... and doesn't respect him until he punches her brother, demands the dowry, then burns it....

TCM Presents Russian Epic, "War And Peace"

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1187) • United States 1 Apr 22

TCM shows a LOT of foreign movies, but I never see Russian movies. Until yesterday. And not just any movie. The 8-hour, "War and Peace". Is it because the director is Ukrainian? I hope there aren't more boycotts (like Russian...

A dead rapper and that Alanis Morisette song

joseph anthony yap @NatsuYeung (264) 22 Jan 22

A while back I read of rapper Navy Wavy Pooh being shot and killed. I find it sad that someone with so much to live for died so young (28 yrs old). I found it ironic too that one of his songs was titled M.I.A.M.I which stands...

Sometimes Being Irritated Is just How it Goes

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 4 Nov 21

I am traveling once again for work, and today I happened to have been running quite a bit late already. So, I found it a little bit irritating that the onramp to 80 East was shut down due to an overturned semi, so I wound up...

One of the Interesting Things About Self Checkouts

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 13 Apr 21

I observe things. Or at least I try to. And I try to understand things. For me it just helps to keep things in a bit of perspective when I view the world around me, and helps to guide what I do to make the best contribution to the...

The Horse @TheHorse (238306) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Mar 21

We had a small Open House today (Saturday) at Guitar Center. My job at Open Houses is to try to get people to sign up for guitar (or piano or whatever) lessons. But when I have down time, I turn into a humble sales person in the...

I have discovered that I have a Very Odd Skill.

The Horse @TheHorse (238306) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Mar 21

One of the things I like about getting "older" is that my "don't give a sh*t" is gradually increasing. But, oddly, the offense I take at corporate greed, and the manipulativeness of advertising and sales in general, is also...

Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 16 Jan 21

I should start out by saying that there is a nail in my right rear tire, and while the nail is a good enough patch for the time being, it does slowly leak air. And so, when my dash tells me it needs some... [i]I go and get...
