Rhombus If I was an author I would definitely use my real name. Your name is your "brand", and people will become accustomed to your brand and seek you out. These are modern times, use your name, get it out there, even if you publish a book now that you are not proud...

The story behind my cute kitty photo

The Horse @TheHorse (218570) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Dec 17

Even though I claim to be a dog person, not a cat person, kitties always find me when I visit friends' houses. I think it's because I'm good at heavy petting, and kitties remember. A couple of days ago, we have "movie night" at...

Rhombus Not sure what I would do, maybe move before sunrise.... Keep us posted, perhaps there is a way you could communicate, I'm not sure...and yes, it is friendly - if it wanted to cause you any harm it would have done so a long time ago.

Rhombus I would suggest that you use the least expensive paper you can buy to practice on. With oils it's slightly easier (you can wipe the canvas), watercolors much more difficult. As others have said, try YouTube. I hope it goes well, you must post some pics...

A SLAP IN THE FACE?

Kandase @Kandae11 (54986) 18 Dec 17

Do you get annoyed when someone responds to your discussion with three words or one line? Depending on the topic, sometimes a very short response can pack more of a punch than a lengthy one . Some time ago I received a very...

Do you believe a mobile app for a non profit organization can really help for charity?

Spyros Archimidis @bluetechno (38) • Cyprus 20 Dec 17

Rhombus Congrats on helping a charity. Even though I am from South Africa I have never heard of them. It's not surprising though considering we have so many charities. Curious why you are not helping Greece (it's closer).

I want to make Mango Pudding

A loves B @A_loves_B (1608) • Indonesia 14 Dec 17

Since there are many mangoes at home, I plan to make mango pudding with them. But, this is just a plan. I don't know whether I will have much time at home to make the pudding today or not. There are lots of work to do at school....

Rhombus I remember my grandfather used to wash and freeze the excess mangoes. On a hot day it was like eating an ice-cream. They were the small mangoes though - not those huge ones. Mango pudding sounds delicious.

Do You Bounce Out of Bed Every Morning?

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (82715) • United States 14 Dec 17

Rhombus While we (the locals) find dentists extremely expensive, I think we are cheaper than other countries. I know of foreigners who save money by actually flying here for expensive procedures.
