No Difference In Your Odds To Win The Lottery

Jim Bauer @porwest (92404) • United States 17 Oct 18

RK Finnell I've heard about a lot of complaints when it comes to Comcast. We have it here and have zero issues. Not sure what the company is doing right here but it seems to me all of the others should be able to provide good service. Hope it gets fixed and straightened...

Time in a Bottle

lady Di @lady1993 (27224) • Philippines 16 Oct 18

I heard this music in a tv series i am watching right now, and it is a really nice song. The lyrics are quite meaningful and the melody is relaxing and sad. Do you enjoy old songs too?

Autism and other disorders... what can help?

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 7 Oct 18

Here is an article written by Dr Mercola. I just saw a TV program about autism. The same good bacteria that can help for this disorder, can also help bipolar disorder and many more problems. If I feel depressed, I see to get the...

RK Finnell This might help with the gut issues Autistic people tend to have due to stress but it isn't going to do anything for Autism itself.

What do you think of the trend of Young people intentionally dying their hair gray, silver and white?

Your Highness Emperor Albert Whisker @CaptAlbertWhisker (32748) • Calgary, Alberta 30 Sep 18

Usually when people reach the age of mid 30's, gray, silver and white hair starts showing up. Many people hated these ashy hair colors because it is a sign of aging. So they either pluck it or dye it to more youthful...
