Gifts for my father - part five - a failure

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368157) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Dec

This is the last post I’ll be doing about Christmas gifts I bought my father. Over the years, I tried to come up with something different rather than just buying initialled hankies or jars of cashews. He was at the age I am now...

rsa101 Oh boy, I think it would be a good project to finish, at least to see the outcome and maybe make use of it. I know the intentions were good, but achieving the desired result has proven to be a bit challenging.

If you could have just one thing for Christmas, what would you pick?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (52810) 18 Dec

I should be noble here, and say I would pick something like peace on earth, no more wars or senseless killings, cures for diseases, and on and on...and yes, I do wish for those things. Maybe if everyone worked toward goals like...

rsa101 That was one of the first things I thought of when I read the title of this post. I’d love to wish for “World Peace,” but it feels like an impossible dream right now, with world leaders seeming indifferent to what’s happening both within and outside their...

Hijacking discussions - aye or nay

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368157) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Dec

I’ve heard about ‘hijacking a post’ and wondered if anyone would like to comment. I’m not too sure what it even is. The other day I found myself responding to many responses/comments then suddenly realising it wasn’t my...

What do you know about pawn shops?

Amber @AmbiePam (109026) • United States 17 Dec

Can you tell me what you know about them? I’ve never set foot in one, and if I did pawn something I wouldn’t be trying to get it back. Have any of you ever used them?

rsa101 I’ve never tried it either, so I’m not really sure what happens when something gets pawned. All I know is they’ll assess its value and decide how much they’re willing to take it as collateral for your loan, and if you don’t pay them back on time, they have the...

It's not a good idea to land a plane on a road

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368157) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Dec

MyLotter and friend @MarieCoyle wrote about an aeroplane that landed on a car, luckily without any fatalities. Something a bit similar happened to my husband, Vince in the 1980s when we were partners in a farm machinery business...

rsa101 I guess roads aren’t meant for planes to land. While it might be possible in some cases, they’re not designed for that purpose, as most of their users are cars, not aircraft.

Have you ever felt exhausted?

The Horse @TheHorse (233316) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Dec

I was pooped at work today. Our gig last night went way longer than it was supposed to, and I was "running on empty" today. I made it home this evening, and treated myself to some Sushi. It was good. Tomorrow is my "long day"...

rsa101 Being in the 50s I feel that getting exhausted can be more noticeable than it was 2 decades back. I think everytime me and my wife would go grocery and right after reaching home. I feel exhausted and would get a good afternnon nap after that.

rsa101 It’s fascinating to think they might help distinguish between malignant and non-malignant cases. I’ve seen dogs do this before, too, though I’m not sure exactly how they’re trained to detect it.

Shooting in Australia

Pitstop @pitstop (15500) • Australia 15 Dec

I was shocked that there was a mass shooting incident here in Australia with several fatalities. With such a complex interplay of factors, I am at a loss for words. It's been years since I was at Bondi Beach and a few months since...
