Solar eclipse in the UK

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2061) 29 Mar

It was an incredible sight in the sky today. Seeing the Solar eclipse was quite special. The phenomenon occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, so that the moon blocks the sun's solar rays. You have to make...

DB Solar eclipses are a remarkable sight! I was able to see the one from my deck. Watching with those special glasses, the event seems to last much longer than it actually does.

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2061) 30 Mar

I have read a number of news articles relating to Myanmar and the earthquakes. There were a many buildings destroyed, and surrounding regions also impacted. The saddest story I have read is that there are people beneath the...

Bucket Lists

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (52718) • Canada 25 Mar

With only a couple of years left of my working career, my mind often drifts off to the bucket list. You know the list that we fill when we do not have the time or the money to do something or go somewhere that we would really...

DB I'd like to go see Yellowstone National Park and the Rockies someday. I had a friend who went to Newfoundland to see Puffins. She had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the local's hospitality there.

It Wasn't Terrible News

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (52718) • Canada 27 Mar

As those of you who know me and read my posts, you know that I have been feeling rotten this week. I worked part of the day on Monday and haven't worked since then. I worried, so terribly, that I had pneumonia. You see the...

DB I just got over a 3-week battle with a virus or something similar to what you had. Seems illness is in the air as my brother also had it and a close friend did too. Coughing, chills, tired, sneezing, runny nose, but worse than a cold. I'm finally feeling...

I just don't know about juries

snowy @snowy22315 (186879) • United States 26 Mar

There was a case I was following on Court TV. A woman was on trial for killing her roommate in 2007. She was just found not guilty, but she told not one but two people she had done this. OK, I wasn't there to hear all the trial,...

DB Evidence connecting the accused to the crime or a confession make it a stronger case for conviction. A smart defense attorney can claim reasonable doubt even with hearsay evidence (telling others). I find that juries can have personal prejudices and bias...

Music Obituaries: February 2025

Four Walls @FourWalls (72855) • United States 20 Mar

DB The Flamingoes "I Only Have Eyes for You" and Oldies classic! Tommy Hunt captured the moment on that tune. Not a David Johansen music fan but loved him in the Billy Murray version of "Scrooged."

1985 Songs: You Belong to the City

Four Walls @FourWalls (72855) • United States 21 Mar

DB That sax solo is great! Almost forgot about this one. Glen ventured into the "Brave New World" of a solo artist and gave us some terrific tunes! Can't forget "I've Got Mine" and "Part of Me, Part of You."

chocolate chip cookies!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43125) • United States 28 Mar

Do what you can.

Judy Story @jstory07 (142794) • Roseburg, Oregon 24 Mar

Do what you can in anyway, anyplace and at anytime. For all the people that you can. As long as you can. Help those who need you and you will feel good for helping others when you can. That is what all of us should do.
