Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (12495) • United Kingdom 21 Jul

Apparently, according to a report I was reading this morning, someone has been paid to compile a list of things that people should do at least once ..... I probably will quote more over the coming days , but these are a few...

Max Crisp I’ve done all of those things. I think everyone should make a list at least once in their life.

Max Crisp I’ve not had chocolate ice cream in a long while. I used to like Neapolitan, which is (or was) chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I’m not even sure you can still get it? Anyway, I’m sure you’ll finish off the tub. Ice cream doesn’t travel well, and it would...

Going round and round endlessly

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385283) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Jul

I am calling the ‘knot’ in the photo an example of an ‘endless knot’. The endless knot is a sacred symbol with deep roots in Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism and Chinese culture. The photo is of a mat that was on the training sailing...

Max Crisp For a time, I was fascinated by knots. I had a book, which I no longer have, which showed how to do them. There are many different knots and for different uses. Can’t recall making an endless knot, but it looks more decorative than practical. No good to me!

What to do with one giant gherkin?

Fleur @Fleura (35874) • United Kingdom 21 Jul

I was surprised yesterday when I found what appeared to be one giant gherkin hiding under the leaves of what I had thought was a squash-type plant. I mean it was obviously a gherkin plant, it was just that I had forgotten I’d...

Max Crisp I’m not a fan of gherkins. They used to hide away in McDonald’s burgers. I don’t eat such crap anymore, but when I did, I used to pick them out. Cake looks nice though. How’s the diet coming on?

Max Crisp I don’t post anything personal online, so this isn’t really relevant to me. However, if you tend to block people who disagree with you, eventually you will end up blocking everyone. This is because we may think we have the same views as someone else, but there...

Four Walls @FourWalls (87941) • United States 20 Jul

Eli Built A Computer...

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (91006) • Rupert, Idaho 17 Jul

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? My son has been obsessed with technology and playing games for years now. Recently, he wanted either a gaming computer, or to get the parts and build one himself. It did seem cheaper to go...

Max Crisp Computers are complicated pieces of electronics. I used to work in the industry and they are beyond anyone now to actually build one. It’s more like a puzzle you have to solve to connect the right things together.

Morning

Jordan Lader @JordanLader (7551) • Sparta, Tennessee 16 Jul

It's Thursday morning. July 16th. My dad would have been 81 today. It's his first birthday not here. I know that he's not in pain anymore but it still hurts. I got the text yesterday saying that I'm not needed today, her words...

Max Crisp Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine died when he was in his 40’s and I still miss him very much all these years later. When I retired from work, it felt strange not to be needed anymore. Foolishly I thought I was irreplaceable. Now I’m pleased I left when I...

What percent chance would you give yourself of living to 100?

snowy @snowy22315 (211179) • United States 19 Jul

I had to answer this question on a survey one day. I gave myself a 4 percent chance, but really there are so many variables with that. I think a 4 to 14 percent chance is more realistic. I do have relatives that have lived to be...

Max Crisp I would say 0% chance. I’m not aware of any of my nearest and dearest reaching that grand old age. If I reach 80, I will be surprised. I don’t have a terminal illness (that I’m aware of), but have definitely noticed a decline in health over the last ten...

Max Crisp I watched it. Terrible game, but the right team won. Normally football matches don’t have hydration breaks and extended half-time intervals, but I guess that’s the American way. Lots of razzamatazz. It was a bit strange seeing Ronaldo and Ronaldinho driving...

Max Crisp A one-sided game that had penalties written all over it until the sending off, but thankfully Spain scored in extra time. Messi and Yamal were disappointing. Argentina are a disgrace to football. Best game of the tournament was last night between England and...

How do you choose a wine?

Fleur @Fleura (35874) • United Kingdom 14 Jul

I freely admit I know very little about wine. I know various different grape varieties, and some of the World’s wine-producing regions, but as for knowing how to choose a ‘good’ wine I’m pretty much making a stab in the dark....

Max Crisp I’ve never heard of bibimbap, but your dish looks tasty. I often eat rice as an accompaniment to meat and vegetables, so it’s probably all about the sauce. If it’s too spicy, I might not like it.

Gluten-free strawberry cake

Fleur @Fleura (35874) • United Kingdom 15 Jul

New Chess Set

Jordan Lader @JordanLader (7551) • Sparta, Tennessee 14 Jul

I was really proud of the Green Bay inspired chess et that I did for a friend but I like this one too. I wanted to do a simple set but it also had to be patriotic with red, white and blue. So the board is a mix of those three...

Max Crisp I wouldn’t keep plastic tables and chairs outside in the UK. It’s always windy, and more so I think these days. You need heavy metal furniture outside and a nice soft cushion to sit on, which is best tied to the chair. I once tried putting a shed together in...
