Judy Evans @JudyEv (361012) • Rockingham, Australia 9h

In the photo, you can see the work schedule of one of the monks from New Norcia, West Australia’s monastic town. Among other things, it says that once a monk was trained in a profession/job, he stayed in that role for the rest of...

What do you take on a trip no matter what?

Amber @AmbiePam (101706) • United States 16 Aug

I prefer not to fly, but we are next month so I’m sure I’ll deal with it. My sister made a list of things for me to remember to take, but I’m still packing as light as I can. I mostly just want to keep as much energy as possible,...

Why is steak costing close to $30/lb?

The Horse @TheHorse (229713) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Aug

I have been on a steak kick recently. @Vandana7 tells me that I will be reincarnated as a slug, but I have been feeling the need for more protein recently I thought we generated beef in the US. I see cows in the California hills...

Anna Sorry to hear that she did not show up, she could have at least called you to let you know.

Is this a good idea or not?

Fleur @Fleura (32359) • United Kingdom 15h

Supermarkets are under continuous pressure to cut down on plastic use, and they have responded by removing extra layers of packaging and making containers such as milk cartons or lemonade bottles thinner. Now several have...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (47316) 26 Jul

Anna @MarieCoyle Look at the more recent one, Putin and Trump, they looked like enjoying a party and deciding nothing.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (47316) 5 Jun

My son has been in the hospital since Sunday, and I don’t think he will be getting out until possibly Monday. It’s 12 miles to the hospital from my house, and 12 miles back, so I am trying to just make one trip per day. Last night...
