M Cheung @Beestring (15248) • Hong Kong 17 Nov 22

Nowadays, a lot of people don't send physical greeting cards anymore. Instead, they send greeting messages via the net to their friends. I like to send physical cards to my friends living overseas. As I have many friends and...

Ali Canary I like to send physical cards, but only domestically. For my overseas friends, I use the net. Overseas postage is really expensive!

Honey143 @sw8sincere (5554) • Philippines 21 Mar

We all know that eating healthy and staying active are key to good health, but what about sleep? Many people sacrifice sleep to hit the gym or stick to a strict diet, but studies show that lack of rest can undo all those...

Ali Canary Definitely sleep, because a lack of sleep affects both physical AND mental health. They are definitely all important, though.

Everywhere I Go . . .

much2say @much2say (57477) • Los Angeles, California 24 Feb

I am not kidding that everywhere I go, "somebody" recognizes me. We joke about it in the family, but it's true. I don't even live in a small town where everyone knows each other. I will walk in a public area, like a store,...

I just don't know about juries

snowy @snowy22315 (188193) • United States 26 Mar

There was a case I was following on Court TV. A woman was on trial for killing her roommate in 2007. She was just found not guilty, but she told not one but two people she had done this. OK, I wasn't there to hear all the trial,...

Ali Canary If the evidence isn't there, it's very hard to prove a case. The police DO screw things up on the regular, though. I was on a jury once, drug trial, and they caught a dude with a HUGE bag of crack cocaine but they gave him a deal so he would turn in his...

School bullying, will it ever change, i wonder?

Greenery8 @grenery8 (16096) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 26 Mar

I read a news about father here that was arrested for bullying young school pupils in the street, age 12-13 years old with whom he had no connection. After 2 days, the story is different and it turned out that parents of these...

Ali Canary It seems like the police should have been able to get this sorted out much more quickly! It's so common for kids who are bullies to have terrible parents, too. They deserve for the man to sue them, but he probably won't.

Ali Canary Oh, I used to watch The Time Tunnel! I think they played it on Saturday mornings on our local cable channel. That picture of him looks a lot like Walter Koenig, who played Chekhov in the original Star Trek series.

Florida Freezes Over

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (84225) • Daytona Beach, Florida 21 Jan

Well, that’s it we’re done for. As much as the saying is “when Hell freezes over” it might include places that have scorching temperatures at some times during the year. So what are we to think now that Florida is freezing over?...

Four Walls @FourWalls (73910) • United States 21 Jan

Dry Shampoo

Amber @AmbiePam (97464) • United States 23 Jan

Do any of you use dry shampoo? I know “experts” say washing your hair once a week is ideal (with some exceptions, of course), but I imagine dry shampoo is a must for people who use a lot of product during the week or just for...
