I am VERY embarrassed to say, that it was a very long time (won't say exactly how long), until a couple of weeks ago, that my husband and I did a thing. What is the thing that we did? We pulled the refrigerator out and cleaned the...

vikingswest @abhi_bangal That's likely related to the fact that the number of people per square mile in the US is about 94. In India that number is much higher at about 1100 per square mile. There is a lot more room in the US so the homes are larger as a rule. My home is...

vikingswest @abhi_bangal 1800 square feet is about the average size in the US. That's down from a few years ago when the average was just under 2300. My first house was larger at 2400 square feet but we just didn't need all that space. Now that the kids moved on, this...

Often, we express ourselves, our innermost desires, and our angst through poems. I'm not really a poet. However, there are times, I just can't help writing verses. The image is mine; it is one I created while dawdling online. I...

It is a truism among psychologists:"The best way to know what a person is like is to hear how they describe others." We tend to describe others as we see ourselves. A funny example of this is my brother (and perhaps me). About...

vikingswest @LeaPea2417 He didn't mandate it. He didn't make any mandates. Biden did that.

I'm noticing that discussions are missing here. It's a great place to share thoughts, get and give advice and to get to know others from around the world. Yet, there are very few discussions. Rarely will a post draw back and...

vikingswest @TheHorse The same people that mandated shut downs, vaccines, masks, choosing which business will close or stay open, banned funerals but allowed protests/riots but mandated distancing by the government are calling Trump a fascist. The same people that waged...

vikingswest It's been pretty common over the past decade or so. In fact, like most of the other terms or words, it's overused to the extent that it means little when someone uses it in an argument with or against others.

vikingswest I can't expect that others are here for conversations. It may have been that type of forum at one time in the past, but you're right. It's more like a diary. Which is fine. I just feel that it's much more interesting and entertaining to have exchanges between...

The photo was taken at one of our Music Shack concerts. Some time back four of us went to a concert in Perth. The concert was advertised as‘Blowin’ in the Wind’. It featured the music of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Johnny Cash. It...

vikingswest There were some good times here back then. You could barely keep up with all the discussions. It still can be fun but the excitement has nearly disappeared. I have been here since the beginning. I've had several profiles here over the years. I skipped years...

vikingswest @porwest That's what I'm seeing too. I have taken several breaks from this forum but I always missed the close-knit community. With each return, there have been changes in the number of members and the contributions they would make. It IS a dying forum....

Don't get me wrong--I can be lazy as hell. Hey I pay someone to come clean my apartment every 2 weeks because I have no interest in dealing with that. I acknowledge my flaws and at least recognize them. What is crazy to me though...

vikingswest Some people have no interest in cleaning and they pay to avoid it. Some people have no interest in walking and drive to avoid it. Some people like onions on their burgers. Some people don't like onions on their burgers. People are different, I guess.

For real. It was bad enough when Melania tore everything out and made it look so vanilla. Now Trump didn't like women having their heels stuck in the grass so he paved it all over. . . and did this. I mean we all know the man has...

vikingswest @NJChicaa You are entitled to that opinion. I don't like it much either tbh but every President is free to do what they want, within limitations. This must have been within limitations.

vikingswest @NJChicaa I'm sure you saw sex toys first. The roses and other flora were just relocated. In 3 and a half years, the next Administration can do what they want. They can restore them to the 1962 site or leave it as is. What you see as gross, others may see...
