Smells Like Fried Dried Fish.

rakski @rakski (149297) • Philippines 19 Oct

That's the only thing I can smell right now. And I don't like it a bit. My sense of smell and taste are not back yet. I can only taste sweet and salty but in an exaggerating level I wonder why is...

rsa101 That sounds like a common symptom of an upper respiratory tract infection. Unfortunately, it can severely impact your sense of smell and taste. Mangosteen might help restore your taste, as it seems to be one of the few fruits that retain their flavor and can...

Have you heard of 'sad' irons?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364832) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Oct

I first came across the term ‘sad irons’ in Westonia Museum. Researching a bit further, I found that ‘sad’ is believed to come from ‘sadd’, the Old English word meaning solid or heavy. They were also called ‘flat irons’. On the...

rsa101 I remember the old flat irons too, where you had to put charcoal inside to get them hot. You had to be careful with the temperature because adding too much charcoal could make it overly hot. They were a bit unreliable as well since the charcoal could stain...

When someone offends your friend, does that result in them offending you too?

Amber @AmbiePam (105277) • United States 19 Oct

I have wondered about this, and I guess people differ greatly. If someone does something seriously wrong to your friend, and they don’t apologize, but revel in it, do you cut them off? Say you both know them, but you’re not nearly...

rsa101 That’s such a thoughtful and tricky question — it really depends on one’s principles and emotional boundaries. Personally, I think loyalty plays a big part. If someone seriously wrongs a close friend and shows no remorse, that speaks volumes about their...

I must be getting old

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364832) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Oct

I really think I’m getting old. While we were away, we ran out of instant coffee which is really the only coffee we like. I buy the large tins of our favourite brand as it’s cheaper that way. So I bought a large tin in...

rsa101 Out of nowhere, this storm has suddenly formed. The typhoon is now starting to impact the Bicol region and might just graze us this evening or early tomorrow morning, Sunday. It’s probably a good idea to have your umbrellas ready just in case.

rsa101 That is really surprising to see an alligator entering a bar. Although that can happen to a place where they are commonly seen. It still is odd yo witness this one entering a bar in that case. But l doubt if they can do any harm since they move slowly.
