We all have a story, whether good or bad we all have had a hard life at some time and its important to reflect upon yourself and see how far you have come. Lately iv been finding peace mentally whenever I look back 5-10 years of...

Keep children safe in this heat ……

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11711) • United Kingdom 16h

We are having an absolute heatwave in the UK at the moment. We really don’t know how best to deal with it . Even some schools have closed. I went out today and ….not my doing …..was out at the hottest time. What did I see….a Mom...

Fleur I don't think they were thinking at all! Even on ordinary days I see parents not paying attention to their children - for example on a very cold day, a toddler in a pushchair with no gloves or anything, and obviously the person walking might be warm enough but...

Close Friends With Different Choices

jaishankar @Shivram59 (50540) • India 15h

I have many friends. Most of them are my close friends. I often wonder why we are such close friends. We are of different natures. I love jungles and wild animals and birds whereas my friends say I'm childish. I love reading...

Fleur Friendships do tend to be based on shared interests and experiences. Have you known them long? If they are old friends from when you were younger, maybe your childhood, then there is a tendency to keep up the friendship even though your interests and...

How’s Your Weather

Thelma @thelme55 (79411) • Germany 19h

in your part of the world? It’s 33 degrees Celsius here where I live. Scorching hot. I heard it will be over 30C the whole week. It’s summer in Germany. I love it. No socks to wear, just slippers at home and sandals outside. I...

Fleur Hot here in southern England, as you know. I'm currently sitting in the shade doing some computer-based work but in a minute I need to go and pick some vegetables for dinner in the hot sunshine. I'm going to have a cold drink first, and get a hat!

Nutty

Amber @AmbiePam (121622) • United States 19h

I love pecans, but cashews might be my favorite nut. I get so tired of peanuts although there is a time and a place where I have enjoyed them. Macadamia nuts in cookies are pretty good, but they tend to be greasy. Which is your...

Product prejudice

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383183) • Rockingham, Australia 27 May

I mostly have Weet-bix for breakfast, which you can see in the photo. It’s a wholegrain wheat breakfast cereal and one of the healthiest of the cereals. A similar product is Vita Brits which is also very healthy. Weet-bix was made...

A coin featuring Weet-Bix

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383183) • Rockingham, Australia 19h

Vince used to collect coins but the time has come to move them on. One of a special series commemorates Weet-Bix, a breakfast cereal which is nearly as popular as Vegemite. I was a bit surprised that Weet-Bix featured on a coin...

I Made My Own Address Book

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (55) • United States 19h

I posted a couple of days ago that they don't make many address books anymore, and no longer make those planner refill address book tabs. Then I remembered that Excel has templates and I created my own Address Book. I can print...

Corned beef and lettuce on potato bread rolls for lunch.

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11711) • United Kingdom 18h

I do like corned beef but didn’t want to open a tin so I just got a couple of slices from the deli counter at the supermarket. Thinner sliced than I would have done, but, hey ho ……it doesn’t really matter…. I used two of the...

Meteorological paradox.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14853) • Ireland 18h

Fleur It's funny when you get fog or mist (what's the difference?) low down like that. I remember one morning walking on the riverside meadow which was covered in a blanket of mist to about chest height. There were a few other people about and you could just see...

Fleur Some people are just like that. I think there is some truth in the idea that if you look for opportunities, good luck etc you will find some, and if you look for problems, you will find some.

To wash or not to wash

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (51900) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18h

Do you wash your raw chicken before cooking it? Apparently, this is a no-no, as it can contaminate other foods by splash-back in the sink. Personally, I've never washed chicken, and can't remember my mother ever doing...

Wabi-sabi - sounds good to me

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383183) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Jun

My husband is in several photography online sites. One has a challenge each week and this week’s is ‘wabi-sabi’. We’d never heard of the word. Have you? Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy based on three principal ideas. These are...

Did you ever have acne?

Amber @AmbiePam (121622) • United States 23 Jun

I’ve always had very good skin with no problems. It was only in my late twenties when I had a breakout on my chin and forehead. It was right in the middle of my mother’s dementia battle, and me helping my dad. At the doctor for...

Fleur No I didn't have acne, thankfully. I did get a few spots when younger and I still get one now and again. I also do get eczema when I'm stressed.

A Tesla Death

celticeagle @celticeagle (190386) • Boise, Idaho 22 Jun

On Samsung News this morning it told of a woman who died when one of those Teslas driver assist mode vehicles drove into a house. I have ridden in a Tesla sedan and didn't care for it. It was cheap and I felt like my rear was too...

Gary Marsh @garymarsh6 (24175) • United Kingdom 21 Jun

Fleur As I said before my mother (also named Mary!) travelled on the QM in the late 50s or early 60s. She crossed on the QM one way and the QE2 the other way (I think the QM was for the return trip). The crossing took five days I think, I remember her saying she...
