Online Shopping

MeMoneyAndLove @abhi_bangal (6313) • Ahmednagar, India 11 Jul

How often do you do online shopping? For me, it was almost last year that I had bought anything. More than 12 months now. What's your average duration of online shopping?

moirai Let me see... My app says my purchase history is as follows: I bought 1. A basic phone in Sep 2022, 2. A money detector for the store in Dec 2022, 3. A replacement UV lamp for #2, plus a keychain money detector (to compare it with #2) in Mar 2023, and 4....

What 's the last thing you bought online? Are you happy about it?

Jessa Arienda @Hanbinandaeyo (3301) 11 Jul

I haven't been ordering stuffs lately online, but I really needed some shoes. I only wear 2 white sneakers both for work and for outside activity since these two shoes are very versatile. Anyway, I have ordered a knock off...

moirai Hmm... I rarely buy online. But if I just can't find what I'm looking for in the stores in my area, then what else can I do? The last thing I tried to buy was actually a mobile phone... But it did not arrive... (Hmm... I...

Hot tongue and cold shoulder

Judy Evans @JudyEv (356888) • Rockingham, Australia 22 May 24

I don’t want to sound condescending, but I’ve been caught a few times assuming people in other countries know a phrase or saying that is familiar to me, only to find out it’s not known in their country. So how about going home...

moirai I'm familiar with cold shoulder, but I think this is the first time I'm hearing of hot tongue. And it follows that I've never heard of the combined phrase. You learn something new everyday! Thanks.

I Nearly Choked

popciclecold @popciclecold (40009) • United States 22 May 24

Yesterday morning, I was watching the news, and it was talking about Dollar Tree, and prices going up. They are already 1.25, and the news stated that some items could reach as how as seven dollars. Looks like prices continue to...

Movies with an intermission.

marguicha @marguicha (227678) • Chile 7 Apr 24

Ber Hur was way too long for my taste now. I started to think about other long movies that I have watched more than once and I think that I would prefer several others. My truly favorite as long movies go is Gone with the wind....

How often do you read a book?

John nyambegera @thebos (5960) • Kisumu, Kenya 16 May 24

Hello friends It is a chilly night here, and my dinner is almost ready. As we were preparing our dinner a question ran across my mind, when did I hold a book to read? To my surprise, I could not even remember because most of...

moirai Sadly, I haven't been able to read books recently. It's probably been years since I've read a book. Though I have a tab on my browser here that's perpetually on Open Library. So... the desire is there, but I haven't gotten around to actually...

Something I learnt about bats

Judy Evans @JudyEv (356888) • Rockingham, Australia 21 May 24

The photo has little to do with the discussion. I didn’t go to the movie night at the clubhouse last night. However, I did go a few doors up and had coffee with two other couples. For some reason, we got to taking about bats....

moirai By "doing their business" I take it you mean like doing toilet stuff right? Don't bats sleep upside down? So... why would they "do business" while 'in bed'? I mean... people don't usually do toilet stuff while in bed... at least not on purpose... I hope......

If you could put a sign on your door, what would it say?

Amber @AmbiePam (99899) • United States 22 May 24

I’m not sure what mine would say, but it would probably be nice, and also funny. I saw this sign picture the other day, and I had a good laugh. What do you think you’d choose, if you were to actually have a sign?

moirai Wait... does that sign mean you don't want packages? Hmm... I'm not sure yet what I would want on my door. But I do know what I'd want on my car -- a bumper sticker that I saw years ago saying "Are you following me? Don't follow me. I'm lost...

Come back to My Lot

Febry @Caurfebri (267) • Indonesia 22 May 24

Deletion

May Day @HaruLoid (1588) • Philippines 21 May 24

Bitter Gourd

May Day @HaruLoid (1588) • Philippines 22 May 24

Do you throw little things away?

Fleur @Fleura (31851) • United Kingdom 12 Sep 23

I know many of you will think I’m taking hoarding to extremes, but I never throw anything potentially useful away, and I’m constantly surprised by the things other people throw out without a second thought. I’m talking about...

moirai I have to confess I am a bit of a hoarder myself... But you never know. Sometimes you find uses for stuff you otherwise would have thrown away. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Being disorganized

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164392) • United States 10 Sep 23

Do you think living in poverty is a sin?

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (84998) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 11 Sep 23

Foods that may promote Better Sleep

relcap23 @florelway (23358) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 10 Sep 23
