Kamala Harris Is The Democratic Nominee

Jimmy Dozier @JimmyDeen (252) 2 Aug

Kamala Harris has secured the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. However, many contend that there was no primary where she received votes and that a primary of some sort should be conducted. Is there a...

UmiNoor Wow. The Democrats really have no confidence in Joe Biden. I guess when a President steps down, the Vice President should automatically replace him?

neighbors moving

rachel pell @pellwell (262) 2 Aug

I found out my neighbors are moving, and I have to admit, I was quite upset about it. We've lived next door to each other for years now, and we've developed a nice friendship over time. I'll miss our little chats in the driveway,...

UmiNoor I feel the same way when my children move out. But I know I can't have them to myself forever. They have to learn to live on their own two feet one day.

UmiNoor Crocheting can be healing. I can get lost in another world while crocheting. And I can even forget to eat and forget the time. So if anyone wants to lose weight, start crocheting. It really does help. For me at least.

Working on my unfinished projects

Lee Ka @kaka135 (14931) • Malaysia 28 Jul

I am cleaning up my study. A box of unfinished crochet projects keeps taking up space and I would really like to "get rid" of it. I discovered the crochet along events on Instagram since March 2022, and I just kept crocheting...

UmiNoor Recently, I was doing some cleaning up of my crochet workspace and I found so many unfinished projects. Some I frogged and others I just kept aside to kiv for some future time. I hope I can finish all of my unfinished projects.

Life

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (4798) • Calcutta, India 2 Aug

I found this one quote from a movie "Love Sonia" and it still resonates with me. "Life is like a movie. So, whatever is happening with you will be over soon." This kinda gives the drive to carry on. I feel like there's a real...

How long can you talk over the phone?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 2 Aug

So far as I am concerned, it'll run to half an hour max. My sister is talking over 5 hours now. It's raining cats and dogs since yesterday. So when we started from home for work as no 'rainy day' was declared and she found that...

UmiNoor I can talk to my eldest sister for hours but my younger sister, No. Because she doesn't like to waste time so she'll call me on the phone and talk about what she wants to talk about and then she'll just say goodbye. My eldest sister and I are chatterbox. When...

April @thislittlepennyearns (62185) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 16 Feb 23

UmiNoor I kept getting Temu ads when I surf on my cellphone. Then one day I was offered to buy stuff on Temu for $0. I was intrigued. I went to sign up and then turns out it was just a scam. I have to purchase stuff before I can get all the stuff for $0. I hate it...

This Needed Called Out

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3144) • United States 8 Apr

Someone recently said that if a parent and adult child don't have a good relationship, it's NEVER the child's fault. Wrong! In some cases it is. I've seen some adult children who take advantage of their parents,who abuse their...

UmiNoor Once you're an adult, you're responsible for your own choices. You cannot continue to blame your parents.

Instant Results

Curlann @annierose (21583) • Philippines 1 Aug

Feeling pressured to achieve dreams quickly? Keep in mind that life is not a sprint but a marathon. Reaching our goals takes time, effort, and a lot of patience. We’ve become accustomed to seeking instant results in many aspects...

UmiNoor I think we can blame the Internet for the need for instant gratification so much so that people are always resorting to short cuts to achieve success.

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (105945) • Marion, Ohio 1 Aug

Wonderful rain and beautiful smelling air. I have the windows open enjoying a nice easy breeze. It looks like it will last for awhile. It's not to hard or windy. At least right now. I didn't do much today. Mostly relaxed when I...

UmiNoor Usually, middle of the year is the dry season for my country but occasionally it does rain. We just had rain yesterday morning. But it was just very light rain. I love it when it rains.

UmiNoor He really had a long life. I was just a young teenager when he was president so I have not much info about he'd done. But I seem to recall that some say that he's a weak president. But maybe this is from his enemies.

UmiNoor Relying totally on the Internet to make money is unrealistic. You have to find something that you're really interested in and then try to monetize that. For example, if you love to write then start a blog. Don't start with the mindset that you want to earn...

UmiNoor It's nice that you've found a job to fit your schedule. I'm a little averse to being a Virtual Assistant because I don't like to be tied to a project and deadlines. My sister asked my opinion about a course in being a virtual assistant. Did you have to take a...

UmiNoor I'm like you. I joined myLot many years ago; about 15 years ago. Left and came back many times. You're right in saying that in the early days, it was easier to hit the $5 minimum payout. Now it's more difficult. I guess it's the economy. Good luck in hitting...
