My 100 Favorite Charted Country Songs: Cigarettes and Coffee Blues

Four Walls @FourWalls (86940) • United States 17 Sep 24

Waddaya know, both songs today have “blues” in the title! Totally unintentional (how could that be planned?). Today we have another example of just how crazy my music tastes are. Classic rock is followed by…..classic country!...

Ken I gave up smoking when I was twenty to be more pleasing to the Lord. I was forced to give up coffee as it gave me horrible heartburn and stomach pain when I was in my mid-thirties. I wanted to get rid of my occasional blues but that hasn't worked yet. So I'll...

I was thinking about life. We have different lives at different times. There is our real life of mundane tasks and worries. Then there is our secret life that we don't tell anyone. We also have a dream life and an online life....

Pitstop @pitstop (15549) • Australia 17 Sep 24

Sorry to Disagree, but love cannot be God, but God is Love

luisadannointed @luisadannointed (12225) • Philippines 18 Sep 24

I read an article about Love, and I should say I disagree with it. Because God is the author of Love, and God is Love, not Love is God. Love is not an emotion, it is always base on commitment and responsibility, that is why we...

What do you do when you don't have electricity for three hours at night?

Diana @dya80dya (36798) 18 Sep 24

Yesterday, at 9 PM, we were without electricity. I couldn't sleep so soon, so I used a power bank, but it is very old and it doesn't support fast charging. I was worried the food would spoil in the fridge. At midnight, the...

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3853) • India 1 Sep 24

Diana @dya80dya (36798) 30 Aug 24

Ken Yes, climate change is a real problem. I would get rid of selfishness. Everyone would think of others and be satisfied with just enough so that noone has to struggle with having necessities anymore and noone would want to accumulate fortunes.
