leeandrew @leeandrew (1225) • Philippines 7 Mar 13

Yup!, no rice and no coffee for 40 days for me and I'm on day 19, then it's 21 days more to go. Since I made it this far I know I can make it. :)

imsilver wow. Way to go. The rice maybe but there is no way I could go without coffee for 4 days nevermind 40 of them. Why are you going without the rice? Coffee, I can kind of understand but the rice I don't.

Sensory Garden

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 25 Feb 13

A sensory garden is full of wonders and delights for the five senses. Start with a pond, bench and shade tree. Add wind chimes, rain bells, a waterfall and a fountain for soothing sounds. For pleasing sights, plant water varieties...

imsilver That sounds so nice. One day when I have my own place that I can work with I'll have something like that in my back yard. Right now I settle for going for a 20 minute walk to the riverbank and do my relaxing there. Your description sounds so lovely. You've...

A community garden is a situation in which a designated garden area is enjoyed by multiple gardeners. They might live on the edges or visit it on a regular basis. The land might be donated by a concerned citizen. I read about a...

My Huge Baby Boys

AQDGVal2013 @Adval2013 (436) 25 Feb 13

It's funny how one could regard a dog as his or her bestfriend instead of another human being. Indeed dogs are one of the most adorable creatures God has created. They are exceedingly loyal and faithful. I can confidently say...

Struggling with depression

dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 25 Feb 13

What motivates you to earn online

elitess @elitess (5070) • Ipswich, England 20 Feb 13

imsilver The same thing that motivates almost everything else in my life - my children. I like to earn money on here and i don't cash it out until closer to Christmas time or near their birthdays. It just gives me a bit of extra money to spend on them :)

Writing in the Morning

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 16 Feb 13

imsilver I know I'm saying what everyone else has said but you did the right thing. It's tough being a single mom and yes sometime your kids will use the "dad" threat to push your buttons. Be strong for yourself and for them. They won't hate you. As young as they are...

Have You Read Any Good Murder Mysteries Lately?

flyinghi @flyinghi (130) • Canada 13 Feb 13

I spend much of my spare time reading murder mysteries and right now I am reading a murder mystery by a new author Jeffery Deaver. This is a great book so far, very fast paced. It leaves me wanting to keep reading even when I know...

imsilver Jeffery Deaver is an amazing author. All of his books are really good. If you like his books you might also like books by Lee Child or Robert Parker. They are the same style of writings. Not always necessarily a murder mystery but they are mysteries that are...

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 25 Sep 12
