How many people do you know that can keep quiet?

Amber @AmbiePam (104507) • United States 5 Jul

There are people who have to know everything. If there is a secret, they feel the need to know it. Sometimes they try to disguise it with concern, when all they really are is nosy. Would it kill them to be unaware of just one...

laser_vision My boyfriend says he hates such people, calling them "nosy busybodies", and he refuses to answer any of their questions. My life is too disturbing for these people to understand, so they ask me about my mom instead. I tell them to go talk to my mom. Problem...

7/4/25 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (203792) • United States 5 Jul

So what did you end up doing for the 4th? I was hoping someone would call; but it was very quiet until the fireworks started. The guy next door must have spent a gzillion dollars on fireworks because he set them off nonstop for...

laser_vision That sounds terrible. My boyfriend and I actually had to leave our coffee shop parking lot and drive further away to get a good view of the fireworks without destroying our ears. Up close, they are really loud and sound like rifle shots. I can't imagine what...

For Me, It Was Compassion

Ms.Chelle @Chellezhere (6324) • United States 4 Jul

Today, I felt compassion most strongly—especially for caregivers. I was one during the early lockdown days of COVID. I was doing so as a legally blind woman with dead knees. I HAD NO RESPITE! And, I was taking care of my mother...

laser_vision I love the picture. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I consider it cruel to force a blind person with bad knees into a caregiver role. I'm sure you did it out of love for your mom, but sometimes we need to realize that the ones who need care...

Living the Dream?

Ms.Chelle @Chellezhere (6324) • United States 4 Jul

I'm almost 60. Married from 1993-2006, aside from about six years of living with a boyfriend, I have been single since. I don't dislike that, but sometimes I find myself dreaming like I did during my teen years. I saw myself in...

The Way Food Speaks to My Heart

Ann muthoni @Msoann (27) • Nyeri, Kenya 4 Jul

Sometimes, all I need is a warm plate of food to feel better. Whether it’s a simple bowl of githeri, freshly made chapatis, or a cup of hot tea on a rainy afternoon food comforts me in ways I can’t explain. It’s not just about...

laser_vision It's not really a food, but orange juice usually leaves me at peace. It reminds me of when I left my home for college for the first time, I would drink it to remember what it was like to be at home. We would serve orange juice with breakfast and dinner all...

The One Meal I Never Get Tired Of

Ann muthoni @Msoann (27) • Nyeri, Kenya 4 Jul

No matter how many new recipes I try, I always find myself going back to my favorite comfort food ugali with sukuma and beef stew. It reminds me of family dinners growing up, especially on rainy evenings. ?The taste, the...

Do you use a library ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (5900) • United Kingdom 3 Jul

Always smiling @allknowing (154201) • India 3 Jul

It is not always easy to stick to the first job one finds and one needs to finally settle down may be after a few experiences. My first job was with a 'one man show' if I might call that I was not at all happy there. I gave up...

An innovative lawn-mower

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364462) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Jul

If you look carefully at the photo, I hope you can make out a pushbike with an old-fashioned lawnmower attached to the front. The notice is a tongue-in-cheek spiel about how appropriate this would be for the lady of the house....

laser_vision I would mow the lawn using such a thing if it actually worked. Seems very efficient and not at all dangerous or back-pain inducing like a regular push mower.

Some Do, Some Donut

much2say @much2say (57596) • Los Angeles, California 2 Jul

Do you like your phone?

Amber @AmbiePam (104507) • United States 3 Jul

I’m really happy with my phone. Before I had a smartphone, I didn’t know what I was missing. It’s an iPhone X, and it was brand new 4 years ago for only $200. Everybody in my family was able to get that one for that price. I don’t...

laser_vision iPhone 13 user here, no regrets. It cost me $800 when I got it, but in terms of Swagbucks money and OfferUp acquisitions and odd jobs acquired through having reliable phone communication, it’s paid for itself by now.

Being unemployed sucks

Primo @programmerprimo (174) • United States 3 Jul

The feeling of not getting an email or call for an interview, or when you do get an interview, you dont hear good news. Its really disheartening. Anyone have any advice for someone in a job hunt?

Which one would you choose? Escalator Vs Staircase

Sanna_S @psanasangma (7919) • India 2 Jul

laser_vision Depends on how many people are on the escalator as opposed to the stairs. I’m all about speed and will climb the escalator like it is stairs, taking a boost from the motor. However, I don’t want to get stuck behind someone just standing on the escalator and...

The day of making of Tuna pasta salad is almost here .....

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (5900) • United Kingdom 2 Jul

Cottage Cheese ...thumbs up or thumbs down?

laser_vision Nope. I haven’t had it since I got control of my cooking/eating in 2020. It ruins everything from peaches to lasagna. Not that the latter matters too much, because I also don’t like lasagna, but cottage cheese lasagna is worse than than normal lasagna.
