Nurfadillah @Bubba90 (1755) • Indonesia 20 Feb 21

It was 2 years ago that I had the opportunity to picnic with my friends at Malino Park. It was a sunny day, but breezy and cooling, In this photo of me riding a horse it was my first experience, I was very nervous and worried if...

Yvonne You look like you are having a great time on your first horseback ride ! The horse looks like she is enjoying the leisurely stroll on the trail as well. They do not use baby horses for riding stables, and usually it is the very settled older horses that are...

Received my Misfits Market order

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119514) • United States 12 Feb 21

I skipped it 2 weeks ago because I had too many fruits and vegetables. It is a lot of stuff for just 1 person--even when you get the small box. This is what I received today: cilantro, parsley, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli,...

Yvonne We just received our box from Misfits Market yesterday, too. I sometimes skip a week or two if I still have fruit and veggies left over; but I really enjoy getting the Misfits boxes. This time, I tried some of the extra things that they have besides the...

The Beverly Hillbillies

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 11 Feb 21

Does anyone remember watching the tv show called The Beverly Hillbillies? I remember it well, back in the day. Granny was my favorite character. Funny, today they would probably not be allowed to call a show "Hillbillies". It...

Yvonne Poor old Bernie Sanders had no clue that he was going to become the “star” of so many memes and photos when he was sitting out there looking cold and miserable at the Biden inauguration. He probably hates it, but they are mostly all funny. I remember...

We're going out for the afternoon

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339431) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Feb 21

We’re leaving shortly and heading south to take photos at a Horse Trekker’s Club event. We regularly take photos at endurance rides but the trekkers do shorter distances at a slower pace. It’s really just a social ride. But every...

Yvonne That looks like a lot of fun to do ! Back when I had horses, i used to go on a lot of trail rides, and I really enjoyed doing that. I lived in north Idaho when I was growing up, and there were a lot of mountain areas for us to go trail riding in. I belonged...

Accidents on Horseback

Jabo @jaboUK (64354) • United Kingdom 7 Feb 21

Racehorses are very highly-strung and most of my accidents have been when they have taken fright at some small thing. Anyone who rides almost daily for 50-plus years is bound to have a few mishaps. The first bad accident I had...

Yvonne I have also had several falls, and scary horse-riding accidents; but only one really serious one. It was a new horse that was green broke when I got her, and for some reason she must have been having a bad day that morning. When I went to get on her, she...

Facing My Own Mortality

Jabo @jaboUK (64354) • United Kingdom 9 Feb 21

When my husband died my son and daughter wanted him buried, not cremated. I didn't mind either way so I agreed. Ever practical, I bought a double burial plot so that when my own time came they could bung me in there too. Today...

Yvonne I think that when we get older, or have some fatal disease, then it is natural to think about death. I wonder each night if i am going to wake up the next morning; but I do not worry about it. I have asked my family to just have me cremated, and I do not care...

Link between the pacemaker and lightening/thunder

Vinaya Ghimire @VinayaG (550) • Kathmandu, Nepal 6 Jan 16

Pacemaker is heart tissue which controls the heart beat. When pacemaker cannot function properly, an electronic device is installed in the heart which is also called pacemaker. The electronic pacemaker takes over the function of...

Yvonne I think that this might have been true in the past; but the newest developments in pacemakers have stopped a lot of this. Anyone is in danger of being electrocuted by lightning if they are out in a thunderstorm, but people with a pacemaker are in no worse...

Carnivore, omnivore or vegetarian?

Bill McAlpine @ScotMac (1335) • Edinburgh, Scotland 6 Jan 20

This may be a little controversial but I freely admit that I am a committed carnivore! Although I do eat up all my veggies they have to be accompanied by some kind of meat. That, of course, actually makes me an omnivore - which is...

Yvonne I have always been an omnivore, and enjoyed both meat, dairy, and vegetables . Because of being overweight, I have followed a low-carb (Atkins) type of diet for the last few years. I lost weight and then gained it back this year, a lot because of the covid...

Gotta love my iPhone and Apple Watch

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119514) • United States 29 Oct 19

They are synced together. When I get a call on my iPhone my watch rings too because I can actually talk to people through the watch. (cool! I feel like Inspector Gadget or James Bond) Anyway, iPhones have had caller ID since...

Conspiracy Theories

celticeagle @celticeagle (166671) • Boise, Idaho 16 Jan 21

Yvonne There is as much mis-information going around now, as there is true information. Even worse, many things are partially true, which makes it even more difficult to try and weed out the fake news. Since all of our mainstream news media is owned by about six...

Do People Prefer to think a Vaccine is 'a Cure' (rather than What It Actually Is)?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 8 Feb 21

I'm sure people talk about it all over the news ... the main two places I've seen it are The Rachel Maddow Show & CBS Sunday Morning. Maybe they all understand (like older Christians understand that 'going to Heaven...

Yvonne It appears that you are one of those people who think that anyone who disagrees with you is probably wrong, rather than someone who likes to hear different opinions to learn from them. Nevertheless, I do partially agree with you, that the vaccine is not...

ANTIFA/White Supremacists: Same Hate Different Costumes.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 30 Apr 19

Hoods, Clubs, Ignorance, Arrogance. Hate is all the ANTIFA and White Supremist low lifes know. Each acts like they are better than the other. Both are just lynch mob losers. I see no reason to respect either. Both are enemies of...

Epstein update

Gary Sibio @garysibi (702) • Chicago, Illinois 13 Aug 19

CBS News is reporting that screams were heard coming from Epstein's cell the morning of his suicide and that one of the corrections officers on duty at the time was not one of the usual ones. Not hard proof of murder but when...

Yvonne There are a lot of people who believe that Jeffery Epstein did not kill himself, and it is very likely that he was murdered in his cell to keep him from testifying. However, it is also possible that the whole thing was faked and Epstein was put into a safe...
