Do you drink bottled water or drink it straight from the tap?

snowy @snowy22315 (169445) • United States 3 May 21

I drink both. We have a deep well here so the water is very good. There is also a tap on the refrigerator so it goes through an additional filter. I also sometimes buy bottled water so I don't have to dirty a glass.I reuse the...

Downwindz I mainly drink water from the tap. I'm blessed to live in a country where the tap water is very pure and clean without any additives like chlorine. That said, if I am on the go and didn't bring anything to drink with me, I can from time to time buy bottled...

I have heard it several times that, while interacting with people they subconsciously notice our shoes and the shoes can be vey vital wearables which can affect the way how others are perceiving us. I feel it can be correct too,...

Another of the popular attractions at Kalbarri in West Australia’s north is Nature’s Window. This must have been photographed dozens of times over the years. It is a bit of a climb to get to it but not too bad and it’s well worth...

What TYPE of online earning have you done over the years?

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104632) • United States 19 Sep 20

I'm not interested in knowing the names of sites. I just want to know what kind of sites you've used over the years and roughly when you started. I started around 2007, and I've done PTC, forum sites, article sites, chat sites,...

I want to date you...send me some money ;-)

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 18 Sep 20

Downwindz Believe it or not, my dear husband here in the Netherlands also receive these messages on Facebook. It seems that there are some periods where he is more approached than others, but luckily he both has me but is more clever than that to take such a bait.

Downwindz It seems to depend on the movie. Some movies can make me very emotional and I think it is all about if the makers can create some sort of relationship between the viewer and the characters in the movie. A relationship is meant in such a manner than we can...

Hurricane Laura

snowy @snowy22315 (169445) • United States 27 Aug 20

Prayers and best wishes if you are in the path or your loved ones are. We will likely have some effects from this storm, but probably only some rain and some mildly gusty breezes. The only thing it will likely ruin here is my...

Downwindz Since I live in Europe, I will likely not suffer many consequences from Laura. That said I do know a few people in both Louisiana and Texas, so I do pray for those.

A small positive side effect of the pandemic

Judy Evans @JudyEv (325086) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Aug 20

Downwindz I cancelled an assignment yesterday because I was not comfortable completing it, so work has been a bit less busy than normal. But this means I get to spend time finding other earning opportunities - as something has to pay for my living.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (325086) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Aug 20

Because our power is so much cheaper between 9pm and 7am, I do all my laundry and ironing (if any) between those hours. I also run the dish-washer at night. As from Friday, we should have solar power. For technical reasons, the...

I'm thinking about becoming a Youtuber.

Aleah Garrick @ANewGeneration (261) • United States 26 Aug 20

The idea has always crossed my mind, but I just never knew how to start. It sounds like an excuse in my opinion. The real reason, I suppose, is that I was super shy and I did not know how to overcome that obstacle. Also, I did not...

Downwindz That is a great improvement, well done! I think you have caught the essence of how to delay and smoke less, as it is to ensure you are busy doing other things and thus removing your focus from wanting a smoke. If you still want to decrease your smoking...
