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...

Shiva @innertalks We gave away his books to a library that was run by parishioners of a nearby church. I recall taking furtive looks at my father's stamp collection and some from countries like Italy and Denmark looked attractive. I had no idea where they were...

Shiva @innertalks I recall the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure". In this case, what I treasured will be a trash for others to clear up after me. My father had a varied collection of books and stamps dating back to a century. Sadly, reading those...

Shiva I need to check more thoroughly as we take much for granted. We will never know for sure what all have happened when we stay in Lodges/Hotels. At a few places our sleep is disturbed as we feel uncomfortable.

Shiva I find it difficult to "rise and shine" now as I feel tired in the morning till I get up! I am retired and a senior citizen in whatever way you label them. I spend my day following up news and enjoy those I did not have time when I was working.
