Do they annoy you? Do you find it pleasing? Personally, if someone broke into my car and set off the alarm I would run out there and hand them the keys so that they drive it away quickly and I won't have to listen to that awful...

M. K. Albus It seems unanimous. I wonder if there is anyone at all who likes them (besides the insurance companies).

I recently read a short news report about a new world record being set. The record was for the highest low temperature ever recorded. Every day we have a high temperature and a low temperature. The high temperature yesterday in...

I used to be a fast shopper--that is until recently. Something horrible happened at the local grocery store and I'm a bit bummed out... When doing my grocery shopping I never lollygagged around. I knew where everything I needed...

M. K. Albus Free samples and coffee? Wow, I haven't seen that in a grocery store in decades. Sadly, there is no Trader Joe's anywhere near me because that sounds like a much better shopping experience. Sometimes I really miss living on the West Coast.

M. K. Albus I had a mother-in-law once who would go into a Wal-Mart and not come out for FOUR to FIVE HOURS! She had to pick up, touch, and inspect every single solitary item in the entire store! I eventually refused to ever go shopping with her. If I am in a Wal-Mart for...

M. K. Albus Actually, they did it in two phases. The aisles with non-food items were done first then the following week they did ALL the food aisles as well as the produce and meat departments as well as remodeling the deli. They did all of that at once. It was a complete...

M. K. Albus Yes, I've worked in retail as well and I know that there are two sides to this and it is very frustrating for both sides. I also know that it is possible to add new items without rearranging the ENTIRE store. Although I've noticed that there are some items now...

When was the last time you ate mulberries? You won't find them at the grocery store. But in my town they are everywhere, growing on hundreds of mulberry trees throughout town. I never pass a mulberry tree in season without...

M. K. Albus Not only do they turn our fingers purple but they also make quite a mess of anything that is underneath the tree. I think that's one of the main reasons people here in America don't plant them anymore.

So here in Wisconsin we have 3,809 hospitalizations because of the flu. It's expanding really fast. In this week they reported 16 more children passing away. It's really sad. In this few weeks is going to grow more.

M. K. Albus @Maria24 People pass away from car accidents every single day. People pass away from cancer every single day. People pass away from gunfire every single day. Sure, we can be scared to death of all these things but what kind of life would that be if we were...

If you were to fill a glass with tap water in the town where I live you would not be able to see through the water. It's very cloudy and it has little particles of stuff floating in it. It also smells really bad. The town I live...

M. K. Albus If all the pollution in water isn't bad enough out municipality puts in all sorts of chemicals in the water such as chlorine and fluoride and fluorine and about 20-some other chemicals. A lot of bottled water has some of these same chemicals so I am very...

M. K. Albus @prashu228 I'll eat most any kind of chile pepper. My favorite is New Mexico green chile. But I also eat jalapenos regularly as well as sorano peppers. I don't eat Habaneros very much because they are all hotness with very little flavor. Green chile has the...

M. K. Albus I wish I could say the same but there is a house a couple of blocks from where I live whose occupants don't take down their Christmas decorations until late spring or early summer.

M. K. Albus Thank you so much for your response, @kobesbuddy . You've made me see clapping in a whole new light. We smile with our faces but we can also smile with our hands. And it is not only about smiling but drawing out smiles in others. Smiles, clapping, and music go...

M. K. Albus @Plethos perhaps you are over-restricting your clapping. Like I said to @amadeo , clapping is not just a passive response to something we like but it can also be an active calling forth of what we like and want. It can be a matter of what comes first; the...

M. K. Albus I may be wrong about this but I think that the more we clap, the more we have reason to clap. We clap to appreciate something but we also clap to bring something on. (Or to turn on lights.) Sometimes two quick claps is a signal for something to begin. Now...
