Curlann Wow, you’ve really had a lot on your plate these past couple of weeks. I really hope things at work ease up soon and that you don’t end up carrying all the blame. How are you managing to cope with everything?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364751) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Sep

George B Vieto (@deepizzaguy) writes good news stories here and when the story concerns wildlife, it is often mentioned that wildlife are losing much of their natural habitat. In the South Australian coastal town of Robe, wombats...

Curlann That’s such an eye-opening story. It’s amazing how resilient wombats are, but also sad that they’re being pushed out of their natural spaces.

Diving Back Into Reading

IvySaysHi @IvySaysHi (4533) • United States 12 Sep

I really miss the way I used to devour literature. I could finish multiple books in a week. Now I'm lucky to be able to sit down and start reading for pleasure. I'm not sure where I started slowing down with it, but boy do I miss...

Curlann I totally get what you mean! Lately, I haven’t really had time to read or even buy books, but I miss it so much too. I love anything that really makes me feel the story—fear, sadness, excitement. Hopefully I can get back into it soon! Which book are you...

Fear is something that is unpleasant. Fear is a danger. Fear is being afraid. Fear is when you panic. Fear is when you are scared. People fear being wrong. People fear they might believe a lie. Fear is not knowing. Believe in...

Making friends as an adult

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (9029) • Calcutta, India 12 Sep

Now that I have entered the workspace, I realize how difficul it is to make friends. At first, when you meet people, they talk, you start growing expectations and that is where you go wrong. The next time you call them up for...

Curlann It can be tough making real friends at work. At first people seem open, but then you realize most just keep it at the “colleague” level. It feels a bit lonely, but like you said, you eventually learn to enjoy doing things on your own. That’s actually a great...

You learn something new every day!

Fleur @Fleura (32976) • United Kingdom 13 Sep

Yes, even at my advanced age British people always use the collective name of ‘cutlery’ for knives, forks and spoons – eating utensils in general – while Americans use the term ‘flatware’. Naturally I was under the...

Curlann Haha, wow, I had no idea! All this time I thought cutlery meant the whole set—knives, forks, and spoons. Turns out we’ve all been “wrong” together, lol. I love how language surprises us like this. Thanks for sharing, I definitely learned something new today!...

No use if one has no appetite

Always smiling @allknowing (154199) • India 13 Sep

Curlann You’re so right! Appetite isn’t just about food. I actually know a few people who worked so hard to earn and save, but when it came time to enjoy what they have, they lost that appetite. It’s a bit sad, because it reminds me that money alone isn’t enough. We...

Curlann It’s hard when twins who are used to sharing everything suddenly have such different paths. Maybe the one who got rejected will find another opportunity just as good, even if it’s not in the US. Sometimes these things work out in unexpected ways.

Curlann I can totally relate. I’ll be taking my mom with me too when I go to the USA, so I know the feeling. My mom is 75, and traveling isn’t easy for her anymore, but it feels really special to have her with me.
