beckish I am happy that you are your brother and his wife are getting their vaccines. I fully support people who want the vaccine getting it. I will choose to decline it for myself - I prefer to let my immune system work and at the very least wait for a few years to...

Who should feed your children ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (1784) • United Kingdom 28 Oct 20

There is a lot of hoo haa about this at the moment and I am sure that my view is not going to be a very popular one....but I am entitled to my opinion …. I believe that if you have a child or children then it is YOUR...

beckish I agree with you. However, I do believe that social programs like food stamps are there for when people hit hard times to help them get through it. The ultimate goal should be to get off of food stamps, not consider them a lifetime benefit. Our society needs...

What are you having for dinner tonight?

The Horse @TheHorse (221710) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Oct 20

Last night, I was feeling unambitious and not very hungry, so I just redid breakfast for dinner: two slices of bacon and an egg. No toast. Tonight, I'm not sure what I'll have. Perhaps some Thai soup with rice. I haven't done...

Here We Go Again: Hurricane Delta

Kareng @kareng (64708) • United States 9 Oct 20

It seems like this Hurricane season doesn't want to go on vacation and wait until next year. We now have Hurricane Delta off the coast of Louisiana and set for landfall later today/tonight. Delta is currently a Category 2...

What are some of the best books you've read?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120769) • United States 23 Jul 20

You know the ones I mean--the ones you recommend to a friend when they say they need something good to read. Maybe we can all help each other out with ideas for new books to go through. Mine would be: The Glass Castle, Water for...

I have a question: How did you decide on what user name you wanted to use here?

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130213) • Israel 10 Jul 20

There are many user names here and very interesting ones. I was just curious how you decided on what name you wanted to use here for your username. Mine is part of my name. I just like that one so use it.

beckish My user name originally came from when I wrote for the Epinions site and I have kept it all these years with other sites. It is a combination of my first and last name (at the time). I can't even remember how I came up with it at this point.

Today's reassuring message from the President of the United States.

The Horse @TheHorse (221710) • Walnut Creek, California 12 Jun 20

During times like these, when we're dealing with Covid-19, racial tensions, riots and looting, and a troubled economy, it's good to receive words of reassurance from the President. If you read between the lines, you can tell...

Man-flu and mulberries

Judy Evans @JudyEv (343885) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Oct 19

I think I must have man-flu. Have you heard of man-flu? It’s the name given to colds and flu that men catch. Many women think men make a lot of fuss about having a simple cold, whereas the men affected think their complaints about...

Manterrupting Mansplaining And Manspreading

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44998) • Preston, England 26 Mar 19

I only heard the expression Mansplaining a few days ago though it has been around since 2015. Mansplaining is where a man addresses others, most often women, in a patronizing, condescending way, as if feeling a need to sound...

beckish I find all of these terms degrading. When someone doesn't like what a man says or does, they often try to shut them down with one of these terms. I believe that men and women should both be responsible to treat each other with dignity and respect without...

C @ShyBear88 (59347) • Sterling, Virginia 4 Mar 19

beckish There is simply no way for me to comprehend why or how a parent could throw cheese at their baby. Something seriously wrong with them. Poor kids.

beckish I clean it once a month and try to make sure to wipe spills right away so they don't get hard to clean. I also try to get rid of left overs and old food at least once a week so it does not build up. Not my favorite job!
