I am sure that we have all heard of people who laughed so hard at a joke that they read on a computer screen that they spit tea or coffee all over it. However, today I went a step further and managed to smear humus all over my...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure What a good score! We dehydrate or freeze our produce when we end up with bulk amounts all ripe at the same time. We always have loads of bananas frozen for our smoothies as back up when we run out of ripe ones in the fruit bowl.

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure Hi MsTickle, sorry to hear about your email issue. Did you get it sorted? Hotmail has quite a bad reputation and I know from past experience with it that it used to be really bad to use. Gmail is much better in my opinion. Far easier and more reliable to...

deceived with kindness

May2k8 @May2k8 (18391) • Indonesia 11 Jan 13

you may not have thought before because people seem nice, clever turn acting. Them from outside looked studious and polite, but it turns out that you can see fully just a hoax. Did you ever cheated by people who look good?

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure I have been deceived twice in recent years from people who were overly friendly and kind in the beginning, but then turned out to be nasty, argumentative people who were very difficult to deal with later on. One was a real estate lady who we rented our house...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure "the mere presence of blacks caused pain to white Americans" Gotta love that mentality! How about "the mere presence of whites caused pain to native Americans"? I think that would be a more accurate description. Nothing but gun toting...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure There is the possibility that Filipinos call their capital something else in their native language and that this maybe young person was not familiar with the anglicised name. I know that this is the case in many non English speaking countries. But I think that...

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 31 Dec 12

The latest years, my goal has been to read through the whole Bible every year. Yes, it has 66 books, but if we read a few chapters every day, it is possible to do it. I actually have made it even easier, as some parts, I listen...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure No I will not be reading the bible. I have never read any of it and do not plan on starting now. I could not think of anything more boring to read actually! I have many motivational and personal development books that I have not read before or...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure That is so wrong! How anyone can blame a woman for the way that she dresses in circumstances like this is beyond me. From a male point of view, I can understand being a tad more interested in a woman in public if she is wearing less clothing, but that does not...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure The very idea of wearing body armor or feeling the need to protect myself or my kids is just such a foreign idea that I cannot even think of how it must feel to seriously consider taking such extreme measures. So I guess the answer is no. I am thankful...
