She's a Better Shot Than Me!

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126502) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Dec

In my last discussion I wrote about a mishap I had at the shooting range when I removed my flash suppressor off of the barrel of my semi-automatic rifle. The result was that I singed all the hair off my arms. Luckily, that was the...

Shoes -- On or Off?

Deep-Or-Whimsical @DeepOrWhimsical (40) • United States 1 Dec

Do you, as a rule, take off your shoes and leave them outside, by your door, before you enter your home? Or, do you wear your shoes inside? Also, can you share your thoughts about those choices?

Xavier Bage In the Indian Bengali culture we are expected to leave our shoes outside when we enter the house. In the children's home where I work the children are taught to leave their shoes at least on verandah.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (366730) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Nov

Xavier Bage I wish the newly married " a happy new life" as we say in our Christian circle here. I'm glad for him. Our PM Modi has abandoned his wife without divorcing her. Isn't it sad for the lonely woman?

Ah, Screw It

Jim Bauer @porwest (111595) • United States 26 Nov

Q of the Day: No Kings Protests- Have I Lost Any Rights Under Trump

DB @dgobucks226 (37034) 24 Oct
