anger and hate

kixsh101 @kixsh101 (2124) • Philippines 15 Mar 25

Anger and hate have never had a good effect but I know it is just normal to feel it as every one of us are merely just human. However, too much harboring hate and being in the circus of anger will do no good. For I am a...

DB It can be hard to let go of negative feelings but there needs to be a point where we have to let go and move on. Hate is a strong emotion to overcome. Don't let it control your life and current situation. Hate is to much a burden to bear.

Neighbor, that is a Thorny Bush

Xavier Bage @franxav (14504) • India 27 Mar

I don't wish to be uncharitable to anyone but here is a case that is amusing inspite of being unpleasant. I have bought a plot of land from a man who was a govt employee. In those days when land was easily available in this part...

DB I can relate to your troubles. We can't choose our neighbors. Some can be pretty rotten people. I have one too! A fence is a good idea and put one up for just that reason you mentioned.

A Holiday is a Working Day for me!

Xavier Bage @franxav (14504) • India 28 Mar

Isn't that a dichotomy or something that is mutually impossible? It's not so for me because I have to work more on a holiday. I explain. I am a foster father of the foster home children. There are two main groups of school...

DB Sometimes one's work is never done. You have quite a demanding job. I'm sure you look forward to TV time to catch your breath and relax a bit.

DB You listed many good reasons for some banana bread. I second that opinion! Banana bread goes so well with a cup of coffee. And much healthier than the pastry I've been eating, lol. My wife makes banana muffins when she buys to many bananas, and some become...

I Have a Certain Technique

DianneN @DianneN (252324) • United States 26 Mar

Some people do. Some people don’t. I always wanted a formal garden or an English garden, but I have a special garden. It’s a garden where if I can dig a hole without a huge rock in it, tree roots, and patches of clay soil, I...

The Honeymooners

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (95920) • Daytona Beach, Florida 24 Mar

I only became familiar with this most lovable and likable series, "The Honeymooners," long after the last episode had aired on September 22, 1956. That must have been a sad day for fans because at that time no one knew that later...

DB Yes, that a good catch! The Flintstones characters did seem based on the Honeymooners. A great show which if I saw it on TV would always watch it. I can't believe The Honeymooners only aired for 1 long season from 1955-56 with just 39 episodes. Yet, it's...

3/27/26 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (217838) • United States 28 Mar

DB Tornados are scary. We even had a couple touch down in NJ last summer. I went with some peanut butter and crackers for lunch. Peanut butter is a great choice when you just don't know what to have. I always have a jar onhand.

What is a minor thing about yourself you’d like to change?

Amber @AmbiePam (116426) • United States 24 Mar

When I say minor, I do mean minor. Because what I would change is my tendency to end my sentences with prepositions. Certainly, when I write I can make an effort not to end my sentences with prepositions, but it is much more...

DB Dealing with unexpected changes better and not stressing or getting upset over it. Something as simple as having to attend a social function when I don't want to will set me off. Need to realize you can't always control things in your life.

Do people still listen to the radio?

Amber @AmbiePam (116426) • United States 23 Mar

The majority of music I listen to is on the radio (in the car). However, in this day and age there are so many other ways to listen to music and talk shows. So, I was wondering, do you still listen to the radio at all? How do you...

What’s the best way to discover new music?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (56) • United States 28 Mar

How do you discover new music? We all seem to relate most to the music we grow up with. It's our favorite era, usually the year we were in high school and shortly thereafter. So how do we expose ourselves to newer music or...

DB Interesting post! I remember seeing Dr. Zhivago in the movies. Very long it even had an intermission. It was a great love story but so tragic too. An epic film on a par with "Gone with the Wind."
