Ink, Piercings, and Awkward Compliments: A Tattoo Parlor Tale

Raine38 @Raine38 (12391) • United States 5 Dec

A few months ago, I decided to get some additional earlobe piercings, because why not. I have always wanted some when I was younger, but my mom would kill me if I did. I figure now that I am an adult who has her own money and...

@n.J I have a similar experience with an old Korean cab driver who is over 60+ years old. He asked what my nationality was because my daughter and I communicate in English. He was curious. I told him I am Filipino. He asked the same questions like, "Do you have...

Gastric problems again

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (5896) • Calcutta, India 2 Dec

As I had written in the past about my chronic constipation problem, I also have gastric flare-ups sometimes. I cannot digest anything. Not even rice and dal which is like the diet here. I am taking a medicine two times perday...

@n.J At times, I experience irritable bowel movements. Just last night, I pooped three times. My stool was loose. I am thinking maybe I overdosed on vitamin C. I took 3000 mg of it in the morning, and inadvertently took another before bedtime.

News: Automated Cargo Transport: What?!?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140119) • Philippines 6 Nov

Were you aware that Japan intends to develop an automated system for transporting cargo? You read correctly. The main cause is the decline in truck driver employment starting in 2024. Between 2027 and 2028, the project's trial and...

@n.J I am curious as to why truck driver employment is declining. One of the traditional Korean restaurants in a rural area we frequently dine in has robot waiters serving food to customers. I am sure robot waiters replace human servers in popular restaurants...

Storm shutters, garage locked, rain is here.

April @thislittlepennyearns (62929) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 25 Sep

Supposedly the rain we are getting now doesn't have anything to do with the hurricane coming. We went to Chris' uncles house and fed the dogs, closed up his shop, shut the storm shutters, and made everything else was secure. In...

Ugh I am so done trying to be nice to neighbors

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120122) • United States 28 Aug

As obnoxious and abrasive as I can come across online I really am not. I'm pretty mellow. People who first met me online and then met me in person (no one here) will attest to that. I'm very chill unless I'm at work...

@n.J Yeah! Not inside our house though. But from the outside. It's a monotonous grinding noise that kind of bites your ears. What's more irritating is, that the noise happens only in the evening when it's pitch dark and you want to retire from a long day. My...
