I wrote about how Asian names differ from the Anglo-Saxon names I’m more used to. I found Ireland had a lot of names which I’d never heard before. In our village of around 150 houses, you can tell by the names that we’re all...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 27 May 25

If anyone was not aware, our cat Cal was originally our warehouse cat where I worked. For whatever reason, he always gravitated to me, and thus, he's now our cat since I retired. But even when I was still working, Cal came home...

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 5 May 25

It wasn't me who won a car

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Oct 24

A friend of Vince’s emailed to say someone with my name had won a car on Telethon. Unfortunately it wasn’t me which is a bit of a shame but good luck to the winner. I’m always amazed when I search Facebook at how many others...

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. We watched part of a quiz show last night and the name of Joseph-Ignace Guillotin (1738-1814) came up. He was a French physician and politician whose name became forever...

Carts

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 3 Feb 24

The discussion of shopping carts may seem like a boring discussion. At the same time, I think it is interesting that depending on where you live, people call a shopping cart different things. I generally have always called a...

Toilet? Loo? Dunny? Washroom? What do you call it?

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60812) • Perth, Australia 5 Jan 23

A lot of Australians call the toilet a "Dunny." I can't say I've ever called it that. Though I'm an Aussie, I don't really speak much of the Aussie lingo / slang. What I call it varies. Depends on who I'm with and in what...

I wrote that we participated in a Murder Mystery a few nights ago. It was set in a vineyard and the names of the characters were very imaginative. There was a Marilyn Merlot, a film star; Tiny Bubbles, a lady who’d had lots of...

Makes it easier to respond

bonnie @bunnybon7 (50970) • Holiday, Florida 27 Apr 22

Lately I've noticed that for some strange reason, lots of people do not put on their profile what country they are from nor even if they are male or female. Heres the thing, why? It's not like we can just fly there and search...
