This is When Things Get a Little Crazy

Jim Bauer @porwest (111594) • United States 23 Dec

Well, here we are again, facing a massive, and I mean massive, jackpot for the Powerball multi-state lottery. It's currently sitting at $1.7 billion. And as things generally go, when it strikes, it's likely going to go to a...

DB Man, those lottery jackpots keep getting higher and higher. I remember when it first started as just the millionaire lottery. Thinking off the top of my head, just take care of the necessities first like paying off my mortgage. Then donate to causes I like,...

DB Seems like you whipped up some comfort foods to get you through that cold spell. We've had some weather in the 20's after a snowstorm, but then an unexpected warm up to the 50's with rain melted it away. Glad about that. I'm not a fan of winter weather,...

I was reading somewhere on the internet and was saddened to learn that over 70% of deaths are caused by Lifestyle Diseases which are also known as noncommunicable diseases. From cancers, heart diseases, strokes and diabetes, they...

I love the habitats of ducks

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (22041) 15 Dec

In many countryside resorts they create artificial habitat of ducks. While these ducks can swim in the artificial water bodies, there are places where food is provided and also they can fly and roam around any part of the...

DB I often go to a pond by my home to take a walk and watch the ducks. Peaceful creatures gliding along the surface of the water, sometimes with their mate right by their side. Your video captures the serenity perfectly.

Santa Claus came about in the 4th century. From the bishop Saint Nicholas. He gave gifts to children. That spread to other countries who used the same concept and called Santa by different names. There were poems and stories...

Here Comes Santa Claus

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (92084) • Daytona Beach, Florida 17 Dec

Just a little silliness for the holiday season. Imagine if there really was a Santa Claus. I still believe there is magic in Christmas, and I also believe that Christmas should be celebrated with a bit of faith too. Having said...

DB Love the song as kids can't wait for Santa to arrive. Fun fact: Gene Autry also wrote that song. Many contributed to the idea of a fat jolly fellow bringing gifts. Sinterklaas in the Netherlands brought the tradition to America. My thoughts on Santa. Well,...

DB I like the older classic one from 1951 with Alastair Sim. He plays a great Scrooge. The scenery and story make you feel like you're in London, England. Plus, this version feels like a ghost story, and the black and white version adds authenticity to the movie....

These calls are annoying me.

Amber @AmbiePam (108582) • United States 19 Dec

DB Spam calls are a nuisance for sure. My phone has the potential spam ID too, plus a screen that asks the caller what they are calling about. That extra feature helps. I don't know if they will ever stop it. I am registered on the do not call list, but it...
