What is your floor made of?

Pitstop @pitstop (14044) • Australia 19 Sep 18

Lynn Fowler My house is carpeted, except for the kitchen (tiled) and bathroom (lino.) It is a rental, so I can't change it, but if I owned it I would rip up the tiles in the kitchen (very cold to stand on in winter) and put vinyl through the kitchen and diningroom, and...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341743) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Sep 18

I’ve been writing about Western Australia’s attractive but wild orchids. These are not the same genus as the more commonly seen hothouse orchid. However, yesterday I poked my nose in my shadehouse (greenhouse) and low and behold...

Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?

The Horse @TheHorse (220068) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Aug 18

Lynn Fowler I love Prolific, not just for the money (which is nice) but because their surveys are really interesting. Unfortunately, as I am in Australia, there are not that many available for me.

Lynn Fowler I've traced my father's side back 4 generations, then came to a dead end. On my mother's side I've got absolutely nowhere. It seems that to pursue it further I would need a lot of money that I don't have.

Lynn Fowler Some things, particularly white goods and technology, are comparatively cheaper now than when we were growing up, other things are more expensive. I guess it is all about supply and demand, and balances out in the long run.
