DJ Do you believe that you have it? I remember once a doctor said you are experiencing "phantom pains". Did they say how they can help you with handling this disorder?

DJ Of all the good things, I don't like this in you. At all. Your overwhelming people-pleasing thing. How about this? You create a personal scale of strikes. For example, say you have 3 strikes. If the other person does something that really hurt you or you...

Watching Monk for the first time. Laughed in the very first minute!

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60794) • Perth, Australia 16 Apr

I had a long sleep. Which is good. But soon as I woke I felt sick. It really gets me down. I'm very tired of feeling this way. In fact, I still feel tired as if I didn't sleep much but I know I did. I fell asleep yesterday...

DJ You can have lukewarm water or something hot like tea to soothe your throat. When you have something shoved down your throat, you tend to get a dry, sore or painful throat. I just finished watching "Wednesday" on Netflix. It was fun....

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60794) • Perth, Australia 13 Apr

I am happy that the Colonoscopy and Endoscopy are completed. I was very nervous about the whole thing. I was worried about the procedures itself but was worried for the results. I just kept on thinking that something had to be...

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60794) • Perth, Australia 8 Apr

I'm still catching up on here. Very behind as I've been absent here for so long. On the 20th of March an MRI was attempted on me. But due to having a Viral Infection at the time, I assume it played part in me not being able to...

Praying on the road...how is one to react?

vanny @vandana7 (100618) • India 9 Mar

I am perhaps the most religious tolerant person around here. That said, people have emergencies. Deadlines. Health needs. What not. Everybody is not moving onto those roads for window shopping. So the roads are meant for people...

vanny @vandana7 (100618) • India 18 Nov 23

Pollution, AQI, Crop stubble burning and 3D Printing

vanny @vandana7 (100618) • India 22 Nov 23

vanny @vandana7 (100618) • India 25 Nov 23
