What is the most vile thing you’ve ever tasted?

Amber @AmbiePam (103041) • United States 15 Sep

Up until this point, I don’t think I’ve tasted a lot of things that could be called vile (maybe medicine). Then, I got this tea (pictured) to review. I can best describe it as tasting like medicine with cleaning toxins included....

@mayka123 That sounds awful. Some teas really can have that strange mix of medicinal and chemical taste, and it is no fun trying to drink them. I do not blame you for tossing the rest of the pack. For me, the worst thing I have tasted was cough syrup as a kid. It was so...

Wedding Talks on a Rainy Sunday

Curlann @annierose (21660) • Philippines 14 Sep

It’s a rainy Sunday here. After mass and a bit of house cleaning, I had a nice long talk with my fiancé. We went over a lot of details for our upcoming wedding—like the cake, the guest list, the invitations, the reception, and of...

@mayka123 That sounds like such a lovely and productive Sunday. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming at times, but it must be exciting to go over all the little details together. The rings are such a special part, and it is great that you will get your size measured...

I got a text saying I have an appointment in a town about 35 miles away. Tomorrow morning, I'll have to call and see if I can get a ride with my Health Plan's transportation. If I can't, I'll have to call and...

@mayka123 Sounds like you have a bit of a scheduling tangle there. Good idea to call first thing and clear it up before making travel plans. Hopefully it is just a mix-up between the in-person and telephone appointments. At least you still have Bible study in the...

I went to the jewelry store and got the three rings I took looked at. They were all kind of cheapy this time around--one was silver tone with rhinestones, one was gold plated with rhinestones, and the other was 10 karat gold with...

@mayka123 Sounds like you had a pretty full day with the jewellery store and grocery shopping. Too bad the rings were a bit disappointing this time, it is always nicer when your regular friend helps you out. At least the groceries will come in handy, even if you picked...

Robert Redford R.I.P.

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (5267) • United Kingdom 16 Sep

I just heard that one of my favourite actors has died. Robert Redford has died aged 89 years old. It’s certainly a good age. One of my favourite films is ‘ Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ‘. I also remember watching him in Out...

@mayka123 So sad to hear Robert Redford has died at 89. He was such an icon in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Out of Africa. His films gave us more than stories, they gave us moments to remember. Thank you, Robert Redford, for everything. Rest in peace.

He Took His Emotional Support Alligator to Wal-Mart

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 16 Sep

People are ridiculous. If you want to have an exotic or unusual pet, fine. But don't call it an emotional support animal. An alligator is NOT an emotional support animal. Some old dude in Pennsylvania says he's been taking his...

@mayka123 Wow, that really is ridiculous. I cannot imagine anyone thinking an alligator is safe to bring into a store, emotional support animal or not. Dressing it in sweaters does not make it any less dangerous. I think Wal-Mart was right to step in and make the rules...

Bowed but not beaten

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363020) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Sep

The area around Elachbutting Rock is quite different to some other areas. The tunnel I wrote about is a bit eerie and many of the trees are quite misshapen as though they’ve had a very tough life. There is no bright green foliage....

@mayka123 That sounds like such a fascinating landscape. The tunnel must feel even more mysterious with those twisted, weather-worn trees around it. I can imagine how eerie it would be to walk among foliage that is dull and bent from years of harsh winds. The tree you...

Slower Dancing Songs: The One You Love

Four Walls @FourWalls (78766) • United States 14 Sep

This morning provided a good laugh for me. We had some rain move through the city; however, watching it on the radar, it was like the eastern side of the city had a restraining order against the rain! I live on the...

@mayka123 That gave me a laugh about the rain radar, it really can look like storms are dodging one side of the city. Glenn Frey’s solo work is interesting because it really shows how different he could sound away from the Eagles. The One You Love is such a smooth...

@mayka123 Those glass skywalks look both thrilling and terrifying. At 13,000 feet the view of the valley and hills must be breathtaking, but I can understand why many people are afraid to look down. It must feel like you are walking on air. Such an amazing way to...

It Matters

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (51177) • Mojave, California 7 Sep

It matters how you treat people. It does not matter where they come from, but if you treat them dumb, they will treat you dumb. I was reading how a guy was in prison and he was like they kept me going. You should not crap on...

@mayka123 You are right, how we treat people makes a huge difference. Respect and kindness go a long way, no matter where someone comes from. It is sad when people dismiss or mock others instead of seeing the value they bring. Everyone has a story, and sometimes the...

@mayka123 Sarputi sounds delicious. I like how there are two varieties, with the smaller puti and the bigger one. Fish curries with rice are such a staple in Bengal, and it is interesting how different types like sarputi and katla each bring their own taste and texture....

Is the 8 hour sleep a night a fantasy?

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (839) 10 Sep
