I've had a not so boring start to this Saturday. A necessary evil refused to shut up. We have four smoke alarms in my downstairs plus a carbon monoxide detector. I came downstairs this morning and heard that ugly high pitched...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (340210) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Aug

We went to a choir concert last night. They were three a cappella groups but one guy used a microphone to provide percussive sounds just with his mouth and lips. Some of the people were in several of the choirs. Our niece’s...

Life At Its Extremes

Shiva @Shiva49 (26684) • Singapore 18 Oct 23

We always seek an oasis of peace, but it is a futile daily struggle for a few. The headlines sear through our consciences. Innocents, including children, are paying the price for no fault. Wars are like that. Humans are...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (69824) • Daytona Beach, Florida 20 Nov 22

It's another cloudy rainy kind of day. Cool, windy and just yuck. Yesterday turned into one of those days where, if it could go wrong, it did. Which quite frankly, annoyed me. I tried turning it around when I got home, but felt...
