This guilty reader

Cahaya @cahaya1983 (11116) • Malaysia 3 Sep 16

I've sort of temporarily abandoned this book that I started reading last month. Yes, last month and still not done reading it. I guess I don't really consider it a page-turner like some of the other books I've read. Being me...

Katlyn It depends on the book, and the situation. For example, just to give you a bit of context, I am a full time student, doing my studies online, and when I'm not working on school work, I'm actually working at my job. So that doesn't leave a TON of free time...

Katlyn I'm a big reader, but I have a feeling I would get burnt out if I tried to do this challenge. Possibly because of my lack of free time - haha if I have free time it's spent reading textbooks, for school... :'( What books are you planning to read? Would...

Katlyn What gorgeous pictures! I would love to have a job that allowed me to travel, getting paid to check something off of my bucket list. I live in the US, and just trying to see the major landmarks and buildings in this country seems like an impossible feat, how...

Do You Like Cooked Spinach?

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 4 Sep 16

I like to have raw spinach in my salad. It goes well with spring mix and Romaine lettuce. However, I do not like cooked spinach. I will hold my nose if I see it. Popeye may have liked it, but it's not for me. What about you?...

Katlyn Nope, no, yuck. I don't even like to look at cooked spinach. To take it a step further, I don't even like raw spinach that's gotten a bit wet and is all slimy. No thank you. I will eat just plain spinach salads, though.

Some oddity about losing weight...

vanny @vandana7 (102587) • India 4 Sep 16

You all are aware that I am keen to lose some. And so they say a) Exercise b) Reduce food intake. Which is weird... My logic is... Keep diet constant... Exercise.. When you are down some...then reduce eating some Again...

Katlyn What you eat is definitely more important than exercise. I work in retail, and consistently walk 25,000 steps a day (the daily recommended about is 10,000). I don't eat bad, but I look more for convince in my food choice than health, and all it has done is...

Was It the Earthquake This Morning that Did My Clothesline In?

Marsha Cooper @marsha32 (6631) • United States 3 Sep 16

The clothesline pole has been loose for a few weeks now. We assumed the moles in the yard had loosened up the dirt around it. Well, we had an earthquake this morning that was 5.6 on the Richter scale. It was about 7 am. Hubby...

Katlyn Where do you live that you had an earthquake? I live just outside of St. Louis on the Illinois side and, apparently, we had an earthquake at some point yesterday too, but I didn't feel a thing.

Brownies and Apple Pie!

Sue H. @CinnamonGrl (7086) • Santa Fe, New Mexico 4 Sep 16

Well, today is my dad's 98th birthday, so two shifts of us went to the nursing home with treats. My sister didn't know I was taking brownies, so she & her hubby brought an apple pie and took him a slice. Daddy couldn't eat a bite...

Katlyn That's quite an accomplishment - 98 years! Happy Birthday to your dad! Sounds like a fun day for him. But heck, at that age, I would give up real food all together and just stick to the good stuff, like brownies and apple pie!

Do you enjoy your friends' pets?

The Horse @TheHorse (234785) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Sep 16

I admit it. I'm a sucker for cuddly animals. When I was young, my parents gave me lots of hugs, and I think I've been that way ever since. I can see why "animal therapy" is big right now. When I go to a friend's house, their pets...

Katlyn I'm not a dog person, but I absolutely ADORE cats. And one of my good friends has a cat that is just awesome, to be honest he's even cooler than my cats. He just hangs out, will jump up on your lap and relax with you. In my experience though, cats really...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (371356) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Sep 16

cherigucchi @cherigucchi (15915) • Philippines 4 Sep 16

I was overwhelmed by the shower of concerns when I was hospitalized months back. A lot of friends paid me a visit and showed a lot of care. Even when I cam home and went back to work, I could still feel the warm concern...but not...

Which is Your Shopping Style: To Bargain Shop for Great Deals -- Or to Spend a Bit More for the Long Run?

MarleneAM @MarleneAM (293) 4 Sep 16

Are you a bargain hunter? Or, do you think that we tend to get what we pay for, and that you would rather spend a lot more for quality purchases, than to waste it on things that, in the long run, are not worth the initial bargain...

Katlyn I'm awful at bargain hunting. I don't necessarily have an issue with shopping, but I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to hunt for what I want. Ever been to a TG Max or Marshalls? Those are my nightmare. So most of the time if I walk into a store and...

Is Medication Evil?

Amber Fernandez @listener1987 (40) • Seattle, Washington 4 Sep 16

My family eschews medicinal drugs. I married a pharmacist. They still love me, but we can't talk about "the evils" of modern medicine without some heated discussion ensuing. So my family tries herbal remedies, supplements, and...

Cell Phone Plan Choices: Do You Typically Choose the Unlimited or Not?

MarleneAM @MarleneAM (293) 4 Sep 16

For your cell phone service... do you prefer to stick with the unlimited plans, so that you don't run out of data before the end of the monthly billing cycle? Or... do you tend to opt for the more inexpensive cell phone plan...

Katlyn I, like you, am also a bookworm - but I haven't heard of her before. What types of books does she write? Also, what is her other book called? I may have to give it a try.
