My latest incredible culinary invention. Am I going to be RICH?

The Horse @TheHorse (218921) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Nov 19

I love Gatorade. At many gas stations here, you can buy two "large" bottles for $3.00 (or sometimes $3.33) or so. A bottle of Gatorade is perfect four a four mile hike. Or general hydration if you're cycling or drinking wine....

M. K. Albus Water. Water. Water. It's just about all I drink. Pure water: no sweeteners, no artificial additives, no ingredients. Just pure water. To me, it's the best tasting drink of all. It's the best hydrator of all. I don't understand why people can't drink water...

Anybody hitting the stores on Black Friday?

Laurel (L_B) @Happy2BeMe (99380) • Canada 25 Nov 19

We have lots of good deals here in Canada for Black Friday but it is nothing compared to what you have in the states. Our stores will be busy but not crazy but there will still be lots of good deals to be had. I still have...

M. K. Albus I have been boycotting Black Friday now for 23 years. It's the one day of the year that I refuse to shop anywhere. More evidence that I'm a total weirdo.

Actor or actress

Jojo @Sojourn (13837) • India 25 Nov 19

We know an actor is a performer and an actress is a lady performer. In modern days, we can see actresses being referred as actor in the media as if the term is gender neutral. But this did not stop the debate. Now I can see some...

M. K. Albus I was married to an actress for 20 years. She considered herself an actor. An actor is one who acts. The term is delineated into 'actor' and 'actress' for the sake of awarding prizes and designating the gender of a specific role in a play or movie. She was...

I never sent a note to any Attorney-General before

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 15 Jun 18

But I did today. Jeff Sessions is defending the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy on illegal immigrants. This is the policy which has separated nearly 2000 kids from small babies to teens from their parents and put...

M. K. Albus Forcibly ripping an infant from the arms of its mother is one of the most barbaric, cruel, inhumane, disgusting, and evil things anyone can do. How can any American look the other way as our current government does this? With this current administration it is...

What time do you sleep on weekends?

peachpurple @peachpurple (13962) • Malaysia 15 Jun 18

Usually, I sleep around 1am or 2am in the morning since it is weekends. However, the next morning when I wake up, it would be 12pm , 10 hours of sleep and I get a bad backache with headache. DO you feel the same? Maybe I am not...

M. K. Albus If I wake up in the morning and the sun is already up that ruins my entire day. For me, it is utterly imperative that I wake up BEFORE the sun rises. It doesn't matter when I went to sleep the night before or whether it is a weekend or weekday. I guess I'm a...

How many of you when you went to a movie theater snuck in your own snacks?

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130218) • Israel 6 Jun 18

I know movie theaters were pricey when I went and then on top of that buying snacks which adds more to the bill. I like others used to sneak my own snacks in because I bought what I wanted to eat. So, how many of you because of...

Flu Season

Mari24 @Maria24 (2661) • United States 2 Feb 18

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 I have experienced dogs blowing bubbles but never cats. Wow, this is mind-blowing. (And bubble-blowing.) It definitely blows.... in a good way. I miss my kitty and doggie so much. I'm trying to remember the last time I personally blew bubbles.....

Getting old?

Tacia Elise @taciaelisepeace (1809) • United States 30 Jan 18

I have often wondered why getting old is really that bad? I am a culprit too, I have always wanted to be in my twenties and I am and I don't ever want to age out of it, but I will. As we age we get wiser through experiences and...

M. K. Albus What a great post, Tacia! As an old fart I can testify that life gets way, way, way better once we've passed the 50-year mark. After that it just keeps getting better with every year.
