Four Walls @FourWalls (85483) • United States 27 Apr

Hey, if that country music makes your head hurt, come on over to 1966, where we have one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our generation to greet you! Yes, I really do love both the die-hard country song I posted earlier AND...

Gym after 2 years of break, LOL

TeddyBear @Gnana_Helps (746) 26 Apr

Hi guys, After a 2-year break, I finally made it back to the gym. Got so caught up with work and life that I didn’t even realize how fast time flew. Definitely time to take my health seriously again.

The Horse Glad you're back into it. I do some curls with free weights, and cycle as much as I can. But I have not been to a gym in many years.

CD or Savings account?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (51453) • Staten Island, New York 27 Apr

I saw that I can earn 3.7% APY for a 6-month CD at Chase. Since I am a Chase customer I thought maybe I can take advantage of this. And then I learned that to open this CD I need to put in a minimum of $100,000. I don’t have...

The Horse My savings account does not make much. I get my "fun money" into CDs (at about 3.8 percent right now) as soon as I can.

Walmart saved money

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (51453) • Staten Island, New York 23 Apr

My mom needed toilet paper. I checked different sites to see how much Quilted Northern is selling for and it seemed like it was the cheapest at Walmart. A 30-mega roll pack was $25.96, which comes to 87¢ a roll. Just getting the...

snowy @snowy22315 (206623) • United States 26 Apr

It may not be for everyone's, but it wasn't bad. It is made of mushrooms, however, it tastes more like turkey than mushrooms. I have to admit it has been a long time since I have had a premade turkey roast, but this tastes...

Was your hair a different color when you were young?

snowy @snowy22315 (206623) • United States 26 Apr

I don't mean going gray after having dark hair color, but more like being blonde or redheaded and your hair turning dark. My hair was always the same color, but sis was blonde until she was about 11 and it turned dark..one of my...

Intention vs. Motivation

Aanshi Raghava @Aansh13 (11419) • New Delhi, India 26 Apr

Intention is different. It’s quieter. Steadier. More honest. Motivation says, “I’ll start when I feel ready.” Intention says, “I’ll start anyway.” Motivation depends on how you feel. Intention depends on who you’re...

The Horse Intention to me implies a short- or long-term goal, and the acts one plans to use to achieve it. Motivation is about the reward one receives from achieving said goal. Psychologists often refer to intrinsic v. extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic would be "I play...
