Judy Evans @JudyEv (364826) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Oct

Xavier Bage I'd be careful not to disturb them. Recently, a horde of red ants attacked me. I had some little wisdom to run for my life.

Q of the Day: No Kings Protests- Have I Lost Any Rights Under Trump

DB @dgobucks226 (36935) 24 Oct

I was wondering recently if all this outrage justified over the Trump Administration allegedly taking away our rights. I've heard terms like Trump's a Fascist, Nazi, Dictator, and now "King," but by strict definition, he does not...

Xavier Bage He is no king, no dictator. He can very well be out of office after the next election unlike our Modi.

I was talking to my dad today, and I mentioned the side effects of medication. He started talking about Gabapentin (Neurontin), a medication I took twenty years ago that did nothing. He said when his wife was taking it he thought...

By Decree of the King

Jim Bauer @porwest (110453) • United States 23 Oct

Why is the government shut down right now? If President Donald J. Trump is the king, why would he need permission to do anything? He could declare, by decree, that the government be open right now. On his terms. Under his...

Dignified fairy lights.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14569) • Ireland 22 Oct

We all have our own ways of handling bereavement and none of us (not even me) ought to stand in judgement upon anyone’s death-related foibles and coping mechanisms. However I did find myself unintentionally but unavoidably...

Xavier Bage Ultimately it's the person who has to find a way to deal with bereavement. A sister in law of mine is struggling to come to terms with the loss of her son. In my own way I have tried to help her but I believe only she can help herself.

The reason for long-handled pots years ago

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364826) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Oct

Xavier Bage That's exactly the reason. In fact, we still use long handled saucepans, though not that long. I prepare my first morning cup of tea in a long handled saucepan.

Do you ever put syrups either regular or sugar free in your coffee?

snowy @snowy22315 (198198) • United States 26 Sep

I am drinking some coffee from yesterday. It seemed a bit butter so I put some sugar free vanilla syrup in it. It vastly improved the flavor. I never add sugar to coffee, but I will occasionally use these delightful strips.

We've lashed out

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364826) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Sep

‘Lashing out’ can either mean either spending more than you usually would or to suddenly attack someone physically or verbally. In this case, it means spending more than usual. We’re going to a concert on 4 October. The concert...
