Oklahoma Rose

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160879) • United States 11 May 17

This lovely rose was blooming at Easter in Oklahoma. It is always interesting to me how the climate varies when we drive less than four hours from our home. At our home it was still winter like. My brother had tulips and iris...

What is one big life lesson you would like to pass on to others?

Claudia Kirkland @CRK109 (14556) • United States 10 May 17

In our lives, whether long or short, we always learn lessons. Mostly, I've found, we learn lessons from the tragedies that happen to us along the way. We learn how to be better people, better in relationships, better at work,...

I am in so much pain and no, it's not what you think!

Claudia Kirkland @CRK109 (14556) • United States 2 May 17

Starting yesterday afternoon, I began to feel a slight twinge of pain under my wedding rings. My diamond ring is sometimes a little tight, so I took it off and left my wedding band on. But then it began to feel very sore, so I...

How do You Prepare Steak for the Grill?

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 3 May 17

Although this is a rack of lamb which I served to our new neighbor in Florida, I am interested in how you prepare your grilled steak. Do you toss it onto the grill sans nothing? Do you marinade it? Do you season it? I love...

A very wet day

Jekca @Jessicalynnt (50523) • Centralia, Missouri 3 May 17

Today was a field trip day, to the capital with 4th graders, in torrential rain. I am still wet, and really tired. After the first rough hour, it actually went pretty well, so I count that as a win. I think those who didn't go,...

7th April. 10 years since my mum left.

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60794) • Perth, Australia 6 Apr 17

10 years ago today, I thought I was finally getting things under control. A lot had happened in my early teen years that just added to my depression. At 16 years old, I thought things were getting a little bit better. Until my...

How to deal with such a neighbor?

dpk262006 @dpk262006 (58678) • Delhi, India 5 Apr 17

Neighbors are very important in our life. We have very good neighbors, however, there is one who is peculiar in nature. She would come unannounced with containers in her hand, bringing a dish or snack and would hand over to us...

Wendy789 I would suggest to her instead of bring food unannounced, maybe we could get together one weekend and have a dinner party, like once every 2 months or something.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341742) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Mar 17

I've been documenting some of Australia's big icons which have appeared here and there, usually in the hope of attracting additional tourists to an area. Another of these big icons is a mango. It is 10 metres tall by 8 metres...

How to exfoliate a lot of potatoes

Fleur @Fleura (30539) • United Kingdom 3 Mar 17

This post came about because (1) @JudyEv mentioned that someone in her writer’s class used their list of words to ‘exfoliate a potato’ and (2) that reminded me of this video I came across the other day which really made me laugh....

Which way would you like to pursue your dreams?

dpk262006 @dpk262006 (58678) • Delhi, India 5 Mar 17

We all have dreams and goals to achieve but we may not follow the same path to follow our dreams and goals. If there are following three paths, which one would you prefer:- 1) You run alone, keep all others behind you and achieve...

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 25 Feb 17

My husband did it again. He came home with a painting he loves. We first saw it in an antique shop in December. We were looking for a large painting for our family room back home in Connecticut. I thought the blue was all...

Wendy789 I like the painting, but it definitely suits a blue velvet drawing room with maybe burgundy drapes used sparingly. This painting has the classical look though, more regral than a casual impressionist. Your husband has excellent taste! But then we should know...

Modeling #1

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 23 Feb 17

I'm not a tall, skinny person, but I did model professionally. Being a lover of clothes, hair, and makeup made it easy, albeit a fluke. And I loved it! I was "discovered" by the owner of a huge modeling school in a hospital, no...

When Is A Buddhist Not A Buddhist?

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44998) • Preston, England 23 Feb 17

Among my pet infuriations is people who have statues of Buddha all over their homes without being Buddhists, and often being people who argue / fight with one another quite aggressively. Buddhism being very much about peace,...
