If aliens really strike will it be America that saves the World like in the movies?

Pitstop @pitstop (13727) • Australia 18 Dec 18

Rock Painting

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317004) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 13 Dec 18

I was a little depressed this morning and didn't know what to do, except I didn't want to be here, at home in my apartment. I messaged my friend who takes my pictures and is in Writer's Guild with me to find out what she was...

Dave Franklin Where I live in the UK there is a wonderful activity where people paint rocks and then hide them around public parks so that children can go out and collect them or even re-hide them. It encourages kids to get out in the fresh air rather than sitting indoors...

I go berserk when nature behaves like this

Always smiling @allknowing (135331) • India 13 Dec 18

This plant (Tulsi) has cracked open the concrete and has emerged. It is a plant that the Hindus worship and our workers are Hindu. It is right in the middle of the path that we walk on and we have to be careful not to trample...

Dave Franklin I get elder tree shouts coming through the stone floor of my garden. No matter how strong we think man made substances are and how much we think we can change the world, the power of nature will always surprise you.

Pete Shelley Dies

Four Walls @FourWalls (67382) • United States 6 Dec 18

The “December surprise” music obituary hits in the gut again. Last year, it was Pat DiNizio of the Smithereens. This time, it’s Pete Shelley. Shelley, the lead singer and songwriter for the legendary British punk band the...

Dave Franklin I think that we are at a time when the wave of real innovators from 60's and 70's the generation that really defined contemporary music are starting to leave us. I think we feel the impact more as this group of people really are the inspiration for everything...

I was asked this question

Always smiling @allknowing (135331) • India 8 Dec 18

Being on writing sites that pay a user asked me if I do this for a living. I had to clarify. When sitting in the confines of your home you get an opportunity to earn why would anyone not take advantage of that? I do not depend...
