marguicha @marguicha (223767) • Chile 7 Sep 19

After a wonderful lunch (wine included) and a big nap, I will have to think about what to have for dinner. I don´t want too much dinner. Just a little something will do. I have yogurt and I have eggs. I have tortillas and could...

crochetkid I had a large salad, mashed sweet potatoes and some mixed veggies. I made both my lunch and dinner salad this morning so I could just grab it from the fridge and not be tempted to eat junk.

crochetkid That sounds lovely. We live in an apartment, and we enjoy sitting out on the porch in the evening and listen to the crickets. We put a few birdbaths out, and the Robin's really enjoy that. We don't get to really plant flowers and a garden so we don't get to...

My Vegan 'Pizza'

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 17 Jul 19

Before I gave up meat and dairy I loved a pizza but I've found the vegan versions aren't particularly pleasant. The vegan cheese is a bit slimy when it's melted and all vegan pizza producers seem to think we need blast your head...

moonchild117 @moonchild117 (1987) • Philippines 23 Feb 16

For some reason, my husband got a copy of Justin Bieber's latest album, Purpose, last year. To be honest, I didn't like Justin and his music so I put off listening to the album. All that changed when I listened to the song Sorry...

crochetkid I think he really does have a nice voice and some of his songs are pleasant. But he really let his popularity go to his head. Hopefully he has done a lot of growing up because his past few years behavior was just horrible.

Does a full moon really elicits weird behavior

Mavic123456 @Mavic123456 (21893) • Thailand 25 Jan 13

crochetkid I think that full moons effect everyones behavior. Whether its so slight that we don't realize it, or it maybe very obvious. I've been told by Doctors that more babies are born during a full moon, and police say that they get more calls during full moons. But...

crochetkid Yes it is scary, shocking, and heart stopping (no pun intended). Like others have said, treasure every minute, make the most of everyday, tell those that you love them, hug them, you never know when you won't be able to. This is one of the sadder facts of life...
