Jo Ann @akalinus (44371) • United States 9 Jul

AI (artificial Intelligence) sent me a message. Super volcano is waking up. AI is not a good article writer so I asked which one. It said it was the one in Iceland. I have no hopes of pronouncing or spelling the name. I saw that...

Greenery8 @grenery8 (18446) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 7 Jul

My mum will be 66 on August 9 and dad will be 70 on September 23. Are they too old for cats or things aren't the same as they were, being not too excited for having a pet? The neighbour lady was stalling with giving out the cat...
