pumpkinjam A healthy, loving, consensual relationship between adults is the business of the people in the relationship. The sex/gender/orientation of those people should not be a factor in whether they should be in the military or whether they should adopt. I was really...

pumpkinjam I like the longer days (when the weather is nice) but find myself restless at times with wanting to be outside and not always being able! The weather has gone quite suddenly from nice to miserable. I'm at an outdoor event at the weekend so I'm hoping the good...

pumpkinjam If it made you happy and didn't hurt anyone, it's not selfish at all. It's good to indulge our inner child sometimes.

pumpkinjam I've only ever seen them with white inside. I found their taste disappointing. They look so colourful and delicious but I thought them rather bland.

When you think back, not to the movies you’ve seen, but to the ones you actually enjoyed, do you prefer movies that are fiction or based on a true story? There is a movie coming out soon with Woody Harrelson and Samu Liu that is...

pumpkinjam @AmbiePam yes, that's the one. I think it's Christina Ricci that plays the best friend. We're waiting for the next Wolf Creek film. When the first was made, they didn't know who the killer was. Now they do.

pumpkinjam I've been writing a series of articles about different saints. I remember researching Saint Valentine but I omitted him from the article. There may have been more than one Saint Valentine, meaning uncertainty as to which stories are about which Valentine.

pumpkinjam Most young children still love soft toys. I'm sure that industry will go on forever. Of course, there are also plenty of adults that collect soft toys, whether it's part of a soft toy collection or a collection of other things where the toy is a special...

pumpkinjam I enjoy both fictional films and those based on true stories. If it's a well done story/film then I'll enjoy it. I'll watch things based on real life stories that intrigue me so I'll sometimes have knowledge of the story first. There are some that are shown...

pumpkinjam I'm thankful that I mainly work from home. I originally had a long commute to the office but worked from home since covid. I have since moved jobs. If I do have to go into the office, it is a 10 minute walk rather than the commute that (despite not being that...

In what ways does rain effect your mood. After reading some old peanuts comic strips which used rain as a topic, it made me wonder just what mood would pertain to me. Maybe you feel the same about rain as I do. Or you might be...

pumpkinjam @dgobucks226 You'd think there would be plenty of opportunities to do that. Unfortunately, I'm very lazy Well, not always. I still have a lot of time when I have to go out in the rain. If I'm home, I'll often fall asleep during a heavy storm!

pumpkinjam I call them chips, although those ones look a bit thin and undercooked. Sometimes I like mine plain, sometimes I'll have sauce/dip. That depends on my mood. I also like vinegar on chips. My husband says he has had strange looks when in a chip shop asking for...
