G @freelancermariagrace (28886) • Philippines 14 Jan

Since I wanted something light for an early dinner, I decided to have Thai spring rolls. The restaurant that sells them offers them at a discounted price, so I ordered some right away through a food delivery service. They arrived...

New reading goal for 2025

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (45307) • Staten Island, New York 2 Jan

So last year my reading goal was 75 books. I ended up reading 76. Now that it’s 2025 it’s time to set a new reading goal. How much should I increase it by? What should it be? Potentially, I’d love to get to 80. But I may...

lilacskies You never cease to impress me. The fact that you can read so many books in a year is commendable. I read an article recently and it stated that the average person reads five books a year. I am way below the average because I can't even manage one per year due...

When you are young you are glad you have some friends to talk to and do things with. But you do take those friends for granted. True you like them but you do not realize the importance of having a friend in your life. It is...

The state in DRC Congo

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (1814) • Eldoret, Kenya 8 Feb

The ongoing conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is worrying. What if the war spreads and affects the neighbouring countries? Diplomatic relations between DRC and Rwanda have already gone sour. Uganda on the other...

Are Eucalyptus trees good for the environment?

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (1814) • Eldoret, Kenya 12h

On February 3, 1690, the Massachusetts Bay Colony issued the first paper money in America, known as a "bill of credit." Before this, settlers used silver coins, and in 1652, Massachusetts minted its own coins despite British law....

Storage Wars

Judy Story @jstory07 (141575) • Roseburg, Oregon 13h

We are streaming storage wars. We watched a lot of the new ones. But none of the old ones. My husband and I went a couple of years ago to some storage locker auctions. And there was nothing good in any of those lockers. It...

lilacskies I would never need a storage because I live out of a duffel bag. That's right. I am practically an extreme minimalist at this point.

celticeagle @celticeagle (170948) • Boise, Idaho 3 Jan
