Is it better to read a book or watch the movie adaptation?

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (8634) • Calcutta, India 25 May

Books explore characters and stories deeply. Movies offer visual storytelling, impacting pacing and setting. Movies capture raw emotions. Books capture the unseen bonds. Do you prefer your mind painting the world or watching...

Dawn C In my opinion the book version is always better than the movie, because the movies only have a set amount of time to tell the story, and often cut things from the books, that seem unimportant, but later turn out to be vitally important to the story. Look at...

Do you use ChatGPT or AI apps? How do you rate them?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (15016) • Philippines 24 May

I tried using ChatGPT to compose a story, and I was amazed at how knowledgeable it was. I rate it 7/10. However, I feel uncomfortable using that composition and posing it as my own. I am quite 'scared' that eventually AI will be...

Dawn C I do use it for some things. Mainly though if I use it for writing, I use it for ideas only. However, I have been using it frequently to fix things in my manuscript, mainly because it is currently written modernly and it is set in mid Victorian times. So, I...

I saw a good movie yesterday

snowy @snowy22315 (191905) • United States 19 May

I watched Fall which was the story of two girl climbers who decide to climb an abandoned radio tower in the Mojave desert. Needless to say it doesn't go according to plan since a ladder they used to climb the the tower falls and...

Dawn C I saw this movie as well, it was one of the best movies I have watched in a while. Most new movies don't seem to keep my interest but this one certainly did. I give it two thumbs up, to be honest.

Giving It Up

Amber @AmbiePam (99949) • United States 24 May

So some of you know I have an unfortunate love of regular Coca Cola. I wonder if it is different in some countries because one European Mylotter said she couldn’t take the smell. There is no smell to them here. Anyway, I fell off...

Dawn C You will get there, it takes baby steps sometimes to get to the end goal. For me, I really have to give up smoking not only is it not good for me, but it's not good for my pocket either. Will I give it up? I hope so, but the problem is I lean on it as a stress...

Cub that was found in the wild being raised by humans dressed as bears

George B Vieto @Deepizzaguy (111281) • Lake Charles, Louisiana 24 May

Thanks to the actions of campers who saw a cub crying alone in the woods in California on Saturday April 12 in Los Padres National Forest who was less than two months of age. The campers contacted officials with the California...

Dawn C That is such a nice story, so glad they are caring for the cub like that. I never knew they dressed up like a wild animal though to rescue these babies, and get them ready to go out in the wild, that is really cool!

What Was Your First Job?

Brigitte @DragonflytotheMoon (37) 20 May

I assisted in the office of the local book shop when I was a junior & senior. It's located in Sebastopol, CA. I just checked & there's now 11 locations in three counties. When I worked at the main one I believe there were two or...

Dawn C My first job was in a Sub Shop, I believe it was called Your Sub or something along that nature. I was a cashier and food prep all in one. However, I didn't work there very long, the boss was extremely hard to work for.

Domestic Violence

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (2370) • Eldoret, Kenya 15 May

Above everything, I will always stand behind peace, family or no family, money or no money, friends or no friends, peace. Cases of domestic violence are on the rise in our hood. It pains me to hear a poor woman scream for help as...

Dawn C As a survivor of Domestic Violence, I agree that dialogue is the best case scenario for this type of situation but usually the abuser can't be reasoned with. Most victims are too scared to leave or speak out due to fear of what they might do not only to them,...

Do you think people are being more careful about spending now?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (45573) 24 May

I have been observing people's spending habits in the past few years, way more than I used to. It's interesting to see what some people consider to be necessities, how frugal some people are trying to be, and then how wild some...

Dawn C I know I'm more careful about what I spend these days, I have to be. Being on a fixed budget, and the cost of things these days if I didn't just get the bare necessities, I wouldn't have enough to cover everything. It is becoming very expensive to live. I used...

Songs That Are Your Own Personal H*ll

Amber @AmbiePam (99949) • United States 23 May

Dawn C It's sad to lose something that you are used to. The penny was discontinued here years ago, it was hard to adjust to, but you do get used to it. We also replaced the one and two dollar bills with coins. That was also a challenge but in time, you may always...

Food for thought

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43770) • United States 18 Mar 20

I don't know if this pandemic is a call to repentance or if it's nature in rebellion or if it's a lab project gone wrong. But I do believe that we Americans have turned our backs on God and His authority. Then we're surprised when...

Dawn C I agree. I think more of us around the world need to turn to God in this crisis. It is something that would also be comforting in this time of need. We might have to practice social distancing, but that doesn't mean we can't practice unity either.

Do you believe money can buy anything?

Liberti @Liberti (264) • Mead, Washington 16 Mar 20

Hoarding Cannabis instead of Toilet Paper

Thelma @thelme55 (77706) • Germany 17 Mar 20

That is new to me. I have just seen this in the news. The people in Germany and other countries are hoarding toilet papers because of the coronavirus. Some people in the Netherlands are standing in a long queue before the coffee...
