I think fishing is an art

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (22252) 2 Jan

I found in the Maldives in Fun island resort there were many tourists who came with fishing equipments. They provided food to the fish as a trap. For hours they sat at the wooden platform and waited for the fish to get caught.I...

Pitstop It's a patient art. I have a done a bit of crabbing and it took hours. I've seen enthusiasts spend hours at the piers and beaches here - patiently waiting!

Winter is definitely here

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (167489) • United States 29 Nov

It rained off and on all night, and we are in a wind storm warning. It will get cooler for the next few days, with maybe some white stuff happening to fall. I had an errand to do, and did it, just to force myself to get out. My...

The Great Rice Controversy.

The Horse @TheHorse (234342) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Nov

I read somewhere, it may even have been from a MyLotter, that cooked rice goes bad quickly. When I order Tom Kha Gai or Red Curry Chicken from my Thai place, I often keep the leftover rice in the fridge for future use. Future...

Striations in the rock face

Judy Evans @JudyEv (370332) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Nov

Baladjie Rock is huge but on the first day of our second visit there, we walked to the top of the rock. It wasn’t really a hard climb if you went up the more gentle slopes. As always, photos don’t do justice to the height of the...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126140) • United States 11 Nov

As I wrote in my last post today was a test day. First one girl spit out water all over laughing. Then later in the class I started grading them. One girl had already announced to the class that she was "cooked". I was like "well...

It just never fails!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54023) 30 Oct

I have come to the conclusion that home smoke detectors are all either cursed or just possessed and evil. Why, why do they go off into their ridiculously loud beeping only in the middle of the night?? They were all replaced two...

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (88350) • United States 29 Sep

I don't need a "national" day to drink coffee but I will raise my mug and say cheers to all my fellow coffee lovers. I already enjoyed my first cup before I even heard that today is National Coffee Day. But, my second cup is...

Pitstop I'd love to have enjoyed this day with a special cuppa, but can't. We've been travelling and food coffee has not been easy to get even though it's expensive! Waiting to get home to my coffee machine.

Dino Bird

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (93540) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Sep

A rare "dinosaur" bird, considered one of the world's most dangerous, has hatched at a UK zoo. The cassowary, known for its powerful legs, sturdy feet, and razor-sharp talons, was born in Devon. Unfortunately, this species is...

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16573) • Philippines 1 Aug

Pitstop I'm glad this worked out so well. At 17, there is still some fragility and immaturity that can make decision making challenging, but looks like he worked hard to get it all right.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (370332) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Jul

The photo shows a clever sculpture we saw at New Norcia, Australia’s only monastic town. We’re now in Melbourne, Australia, and it’s cold. Melbourne is known for its four seasons in one day so I’ve bought beanies and gloves with...

Pitstop I've been seeing so much of this in the news. She was lucky and brave to survive. Not fun, getting lost in those areas. We'd love to drive once through the lonely outback, but I'm not sure if I have the guts to do this.

What will he give up next?

Fleur @Fleura (33671) • United Kingdom 5 Jul

As I’ve mentioned before, my partner gave up alcohol quite a while ago – it must be 5 or 6 years ago already. He tried for a month, and although he used to be quite a keen drinker before, he said he didn’t miss it and was quite...

Pitstop I don't drink alcohol, so that's easy 'giving up' for me. I doubt I'll be able to give up coffee. My wife and I enjoy coffe together and we also have coffee dates with friends. So the cost of giving up coffee is a bit to much for me.

No Water.

rakski @rakski (149367) • Philippines 21 Jun

Nothing like hopping into the shower after a long day, only for the water to vanish mid-scrub. So there I stood, shampoo on my head, trying to decide whether to laugh, cry, or grab a pail. Note to self: always check the water...
