Linda Cann Pearson Sorry about your loss. I lost my best friend a few months ago and I know how hard it is. Nothing but time takes some of the loss and pain away. Good memories help.

Anna @LadyDuck (471436) • Switzerland 6 Nov 18

Do you like squash?

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38865) • Midland, Michigan 25 Oct 18

I didn't enjoy squash of any kind when growing up but eventually began trying various ones figuring they must be healthy. I've eaten a lot of spaghetti squash in recent years, but I only enjoy it with butter and either parmesan...

Linda Cann Pearson I love squash, both summer and winter. I add zucchini to lots of my foods as it has such a good strong flavor. I love winter squash but now buy the already-cubed squash as it's much easier to prepare.

Something new!

The Horse @TheHorse (218691) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Nov 18

I may be wrong, but I think Something New was the name of a Beatles' album in the 1960s. I was a child then, and the name sticks in my head. Anyway, today, my music buddy Michael and I went cycling from Antioch toward the Black...

Hi MyLot, First, let me be clear. I'm no expert on kids. I don't have any and I don't want any. My own choice. However I'm also not close to any. Not my own choice. Extended family isn't very family like and I don't have...

Linda Cann Pearson It's tough raising kids but I agree, it starts with the parents. When my daughter was very young and also very sociable, and knowing how many people aren't fond of other peoples' kids when in a restaurant, I stuck mostly with kid-friendly places when we ate...

I've had enough of goats - for the moment at least

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339782) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Nov 18

For the past fortnight I’ve been helping my sister and nephew with their goat stud. One of the main chores was bottle-feeding 40+ little goats. This might sound a cute and cuddly job but let me assure you it was a fight for...

Harvey Weinstein trial collapsing?

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 28 Oct 18

With the first Harvey Weinstein trials likely to collapse due to the evidence doing likewise, it seems 'professional litigants chasing money' are most of the claimants. Case one fell apart when i was revealed by lawyers that the...

Linda Cann Pearson I hope he doesn't get away with everything he's done. He's really not a nice man. It looks like a lot of the claims again Justice Kavanaugh as a rapist are falling apart. I am not at all surprised and hope all the people who lied end up in prison.

Age is just a number

Always smiling @allknowing (136219) • India 3 Nov 18
