It was Marie-Antoinette’s turn to stand at the guillotine just nine months after her husband, King Louis XVI of France, was executed on January 21, 1793. As you see, the life of the royals was not always one big party. The lady...

Shiva To be guillotined is a horrible way to die whatever the crime. The world is still cruel though.

I often try to plan one day a week to be a vegetarian day, or quasi plan it I should say. Today was a v day. I have eaten no meat today, and I will not. Overall, vegetarianism is healthier, better for the planet and cheaper. I...

Shiva I have been a vegetarian all my life. It has served me well though on flights, I get only the very basics. As I avoid eggs too, it can create some difficulty while travelling especially.

Shiva I like fried stuff to cheer me up. I normally avoid them - that makes it even more appealing when I indulge in them once in a while. Hope your team gets the necessary boost as there is no way but up when things go wrong for a while.

There are some accents (when speaking English) I love hearing. And there is one I actually don’t like, but I’m not going to say it even though no one currently on Mylot is from that country. So is there an accent you enjoy...

Shiva I like to guess which country the person is from when they speak. I have heard all types of accents but some stand out. A few are not easy to understand though. I have no favorites.

Shiva It could have been worse. The bus driver would have been helpless to stop the bus. I have heard news about drivers stopping by the road side when they were taken ill suddenly.

Shiva I am nuts about nuts but in moderation. If they are fresh, anyone of them will do. I am prone to seasickness but mild symptoms only.

Shiva I inculcated love and compassion in my son by practicing them on a daily basis. Everyone has problems to face but why take it out on others, especially the innocent children? The child gave a fitting message back to her mom.
