Long short cloth pieces.

vanny @vandana7 (102776) • India 10 Jul

I have a confession. I prefer gent's kerchiefs. They make more sense to me than the dainty kerchiefs that are designed for us womenfolk. I couldn't wipe my sweat, nor blow nose in these beautiful pieces. Then the Chunnis. the...

DJ No chunnis for me either. I hardly wear suits, and that too if the occasion explicitly demands it. Cannot tolerate the heat. Co-ord sets are great for outings and at home shorts and t shirts for me.

DJ It's funny how it is always the poor who get the short end of the stick, not the rich. The governments do it blatantly without any shame.

Do some people make your head spin?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385478) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Jul

I’ve talked about how we used to host couch-surfers and also couch-surfed ourselves once or twice. We have kept in touch with a few and one is a German lady who now lives just an hour away. She drives us crazy mostly but she...

DJ Earlier, I used to get upset or lose my temper with such people, but as I age, I tend to keep my interactions limited with them. Really, they used to make me want to bang my head against a wall. So, now I preserve my energy for other things.

How often do you do online banking?

The Horse @TheHorse (239691) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Jul

I deposited some gig money (cash) at an ATM machine the other day. I was pretty excited about that. I think I deposited $108.00. As we "local musicians" like to say, "There's tens of dollars out there to be made playing gigs!"...

Knocked for a sixer

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385478) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Jul

I had a huge surprise the other day. A nephew rang asking about some of our ancestors. He also said he’d discovered that I had another brother who died at birth! At nearly 80, I’d never heard of another brother, and I was inclined...

I had a long sleep. Which is good. But soon as I woke I felt sick. It really gets me down. I'm very tired of feeling this way. In fact, I still feel tired as if I didn't sleep much but I know I did. I fell asleep yesterday...

I am happy that the Colonoscopy and Endoscopy are completed. I was very nervous about the whole thing. I was worried about the procedures itself but was worried for the results. I just kept on thinking that something had to be...

I'm still catching up on here. Very behind as I've been absent here for so long. On the 20th of March an MRI was attempted on me. But due to having a Viral Infection at the time, I assume it played part in me not being able to...

Praying on the road...how is one to react?

vanny @vandana7 (102776) • India 9 Mar 24

Uniform Civil Code...and Indians

vanny @vandana7 (102776) • India 13 Feb 24

vanny @vandana7 (102776) • India 18 Nov 23
