Do pineapples cure floaters?

Jandie @tech40 (23214) • Philippines 21 Mar

I've seen many people sharing their experiences about how eating pineapple helps reduce or even remove floaters from their vision. Has anyone here tried it? Does it really work?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (93044) • United States 20 Mar

Xavier Bage I love nature. Both mountains and seas are dear to me. However, I am a person from the foothills of the Himalayas. I grew up looking up to mountains but now I live near the sea. In my heart, perhaps I love rivers more than seas.

New fence and gate

Daniel @Danielclark691 (1712) 19 Mar

Last week we had a new fence and gate fitted. I think it is a huge improvement on the conifers we had there previously. I think it looks smart, do you? It certainly makes the garden look better, and gives more privacy, too. It...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41939) 19 Mar

Do You Slack off at the Gym?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (93044) • United States 19 Mar
