Los Angeles is #1 in Worst Traffic in the World

Deborah-Diane @DeborahDiane (40361) • Laguna Woods, California 6 Feb 18

Once again Los Angeles has something to brag about. We don't just have bad traffic. We have the worst traffic in the world! If you have ever planned to leave the Los Angeles area on a Friday night, you know just how bad it is....

aneekebeth I go to school in the Bay Area one day a week.... traffic is terrible. Probably not as bad as LA. What I find most annoying is people in the far-left lane leaving enormous gaps between them and the car in front. I'm not saying it should be bumper to bumper,...

Making heaven as an atheist

enyi ada @Berrygal (5834) 19 Apr 18

Sometimes I wonder if going to heaven is only only about being a believer and following a particular religion and beliefs. What do you think will atheists make heaven?

god

religion

aneekebeth Atheists don't need the promise of heaven to be good. In fact, knowing that this is the only time we get makes the experience of life even more valuable and grants a bigger appreciation for every moment.

Jesuslovesme @MsBooklover (3974) • United States 22 Apr 18

https://thatsweetgift.com/segreto-creative-plants-flower-pot-for-succulent-plants/ I just found this planter. I think it is so adorable. Do people still give this kind of gift for a housewarming or some similar event?

aneekebeth Housewarming presents are the best. It shows that you care and are happy for your friend's new place. It's good to give useful items like toasters, blenders, etc... BUT believe it or not, unique and thoughtful gifts are most appreciated. Something the person...

aneekebeth You know, a lot of people have this mentality that travel is just impossible... If this is something you REALLY want to do, go for it. First off, open a savings account or something like that where you can put a little money in every month (or every paycheck)....

aneekebeth It's good to take a break. I'll work on a painting or drawing that I really like and then put it away for a few days. During that time, I'll work on something else and when I go back to the first one, I'll sometimes notice things that I want to change.

Mr. Anomaly @Mr_Anomaly (790) • United States 20 Jan 18
