Michael @Wrexxo (8239) 6 Sep

Today is moving fast..2:43 p.m., 30°C..the sun is out and in a couple of minutes I'll be making lunch before heading to work around 4pm. Hoping I'll get some sales today. This morning while scrolling Facebook, I came across a...

Aanshi Raghava Somewhere I once read_ I am not ugly, just born poor. Anyways, there are so many people around who put it on something which is totally artificial, especially when nothing can keep you alive forever. Spending on things that makes it worth, is...

Good morning, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (40430) • Petaluma, California 6 Sep

I did not sleep at all last night. I took a melatonin, too. It's Sonday, so church this morning, and then home to--guess what--work on yarn dolls! I'd like to get some reading in, not...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (86733) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Sep

Well, the t.v. didn't want to work with the remote this morning, so I had to manually turn it on, and then set it up to control power and volume. Something that's less than fun. But, such is life. I got the t.v. work again which...

Aanshi Raghava Trust me, TV issue can really be annoying. I was dealing the same thing last week. Finally, since my brother is a bit Techie...I asked him to fix it.

How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?

IamFemme @iamfemme (150) 6 Sep

You know, when someone breaks your heart really, really badly. You have trusted that person with your whole life and heart. But all those years you've been together, he broke your heart again and again through lies,...

Aanshi Raghava The scars may run deep, but so does the human capacity to heal. One day at a time, one step at a time. Wishing you peace and strength on your journey.

Trouble

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2496) • United States 6 Sep

Opened the refrigerator door and the light was out. Unit is not making any noise at all. I took some of the stuff out and put it in our small freezer. Hoping it is just going through a thaw out as I noticed quite a bit of ice...

Aanshi Raghava Oh no, appliances always seem to pick the worst possible time to act up! I hope it's just a temporary issue caused by the ice buildup and that it starts working again after thawing out. Good thing you had the small freezer as a backup. At least you made the...

I'm still thinking about it

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69915) • Centralia, Washington 5 Sep

A few years ago one of my sisters had a sudden hospital visit. She got a super nasty headache. She ended up having surgery to remove a benign tumor. Of course thank God it was benign. I thought she was acting pretty normal...

Aanshi Raghava That must have been a heartbreaking moment. Memory changes can be subtle at first, so hearing your sister genuinely forget something that has always been part of your life must have come as a real shock. I'm glad the tumor was benign, but it's understandable...

Good morning everyone

Michael @Wrexxo (8239) 6 Sep

Good morning! It's 9:06 a.m. I woke up about two hours ago and my plan changed when I heard my neighbor clearing grass beside my house. I joined in, spent about an hour clearing around the house, then checked my notifications on...

Aanshi Raghava Good Morning!! Frequent power outages can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you never know how long the electricity will stay on. It's good that you managed to charge your phone and power banks while you had the chance. Solar power is a big...

Good Early Morning!

Amber @AmbiePam (128047) • United States 6 Sep

I was up at 4:15am this morning, and it seems to be a pattern of falling asleep early the night before, and then ultimately getting up early the next day. I don’t totally mind it though. It gives me a good start to the day, and I...

Aanshi Raghava I’m usually asleep by 10–11 PM and up around 5–6 AM. Early mornings feel peaceful, and I get more done before the day gets busy.

Sunshine.

rakski @rakski (162383) • Philippines 5 Sep

Aanshi Raghava It's always refreshing to see the sun after a stretch of rainy, gloomy weather. A little sunshine can really lift the mood and make everything feel brighter. Here, the weather has been a mix of sunshine and clouds lately, but I always appreciate a clear, sunny...

Do You Still Eat the Same Foods You Loved When You Were Younger?

Orogun Oghenekome @eLdav1s (1037) • Nigeria 6 Sep

Our taste buds can change a lot as we grow up, there may be foods we couldn't get enough of as children that we barely touch today. And sometimes it's the opposite—we might have disliked certain foods when we were younger but now...

Aanshi Raghava I agree that our taste buds definitely change over time. As a child, I loved simple homemade snacks, and I still enjoy them because they bring back so many good memories. One food I used to avoid was bitter gourd, but now I actually appreciate its unique taste...

A devil flower that doesn't need sunlight

Shadi @Madshadi (8918) • Brussels, Belgium 6 Sep

This is an interesting flower. It grows underground and doesn't need sunlight. It takes its nutrients from nearby fungi so it doesn't photosynthesize. They call it the devil flower because it is dark, creepy, has horns, and...

Aanshi Raghava What an incredible plant! I had no idea some flowers could survive without photosynthesis and rely on fungi for nutrients. The devil flower definitely earns its name. Thanks for sharing something so unusual and interesting

Have you heard of mosaic crochet?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389020) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Sep

The photo shows the creative work of another of our retirement village residents. These pieces are all crocheted but it’s not like any crochet I’ve seen. She calls it ‘mosaic crochet’ and says she learnt it from YouTube tutorials....

celticeagle @celticeagle (194322) • Boise, Idaho 6 Sep

I've had a lot of mishaps, sadness, and bad times in my life. I've lost boyfriends in car accidents, I've had kid issues, and I've married some real a$$ holes. Not always made the best decisions. I've learned about what I feel is...

Aanshi Raghava I agree that humor can be a powerful coping mechanism. We can't always control what happens in life, but being able to laugh, even during difficult times, can help us keep moving forward.

To feed or not to feed

vanny @vandana7 (102844) • India 25 Aug

Some of you maybe aware that I feed stray animals, and some animals that are not stray but owners leave them on the roads at the mercy of who-so-ever chooses to feed them. A few like male calves are tied with heavy metal chains....

Aanshi Raghava I don't think you should feel guilty for showing kindness to an animal that is hungry, thirsty, or suffering. The reality is that you don't control what ultimately happens to those animals, but you do have control over how you treat them in the moment. If an...

Frozen Dinners

Amber @AmbiePam (128047) • United States 29 Aug

I don’t normally eat frozen dinners. They just don’t sound good. I went ahead and bought one the other day just because I thought it would be good to have one on hand. So, I bought this one from Walmart, the newer store brand...

Aanshi Raghava That sounds like a pleasant surprise! I think a lot of us have low expectations when it comes to frozen meals because so many of them are either bland or don't leave you feeling full. It's always nice when you find one that actually tastes good and has decent...

celticeagle @celticeagle (194322) • Boise, Idaho 28 Aug

I have been following the "House of Horrors" and the Siter family. 16 children living(barely) in deplorable conditions. I wonder how long they have been living in these conditions and what else may have been going on. They hadn't...

Dolly Parton
