Did Albert Einstein really say "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds”?

The Horse @TheHorse (220116) • Walnut Creek, California 11h

Do you trust "wise quotations" that you read on the internet or see on bumper stickers? I do not. But I do believe that most of these quotations have their basis in truth. Mark Twain never did say, "The coldest Winter I ever...

much2say I'll read quotations and then decide for myself if I think they are valid - regardless who said it. But if it's really good, I might research the source - it'd be good to know especially if I were going to repeat it to someone else.

Can't believe Cristmas is next week:/

Greenery8 @grenery8 (11100) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 15h

I mean, i'm spending it the same way for another year and in a simple way but i really lost the track of time. I'm currently learning and preparing myself for some job testing on Monday (they finally published today the time and...

much2say Best of luck with the testing next week! Walking is good - for your health - body and mind. My year has not been kind, and I have been fighting it - and fighting myself. But some things have improved - it took a long time to get here and only now I am...

Wheee! Today is my funnest day at Guitar Center!

I Like a Happy Doctor

Four Walls @FourWalls (68915) • United States 15h

Yes, I’m the same person who was whining about getting a Medicare card as a Christmas present yesterday. I had my six-month check-up with my “civilian” doctor today, and she was HAPPY. I like a happy...

much2say You're ending the year on a good health note . "Happy" and medical anything in the same sentence/post . . . it's rare to hear that, so we'll take it! Darn about Chuy's . . . but you can always go there tonight .

The Sun Came Out

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (50604) • United States 12h

It has been windy and a bit gloomy at times today. The sun has finally come out. I hope that it shines for a while, but we could possibly get some rain. Tonight dinner will be easy. We are having leftovers of red beans and rice,...

I Think I'm going To Quit Wearing Make-Up

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (64) • United States 21h

Not that I wear it very often anyway. Maybe one night on a 7-night cruise on formal night. Or maybe once every 6 weeks at home. I'm happy with how I look naturally. I'm not really that skilled at applying make-up. And the...

much2say I do wear eyeliner - but not every day. I know what you mean about "fake" . . . I have stopped using foundation years ago because I don't want to look like I'm wearing a mask. Natural is convenient and healthier.

Hot Dr. Pepper

Amber @AmbiePam (93787) • United States 12h

I was watching the local morning news yesterday morning, and on the segment, “What Caught Our Eye”, one of the news anchors mentioned an online video she saw of a woman making Hot Dr. Pepper, a drink her family made every...

much2say Oh oh oh! So maybe about the mid 90s, I microwaved a mug of Dr. Pepper to drink it hot . . . I don't know where I came up with that. I liked it better than cold - and I wasn't even a soda drinker nor a Dr. Pepper fan . Interesting about the...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38571) 16 Dec

For the record, I live in a fairly quiet bedroom community, not far from the main city. Like most such smaller cities and towns, ours has the good areas, and a few not so good areas. It's been fairly quiet for some time now, until...

I'd Rather Keep Track of Santa Than See What Idiocy Trump is Embarking On

celticeagle @celticeagle (168163) • Boise, Idaho 17 Dec

Each year Santa and his reindeer make a 41 million-mile trek around the entire globe and thanks to a high-tech website kids from 3 to 103 can watch a website and see when he is expected in a given area. Since 1958, we can thank a...

Many people celebrate the 'birth of Jesus Christ' on a day that is not His actual birthday

Scar D. Cat @Scarred4Lyfe (613) 15 Dec

Do You Have a Bucket List?

celticeagle @celticeagle (168163) • Boise, Idaho 17 Dec

Ten or fifteen years ago I used to keep a bucket list. I used to be very adventurous and wanted to try a lot of things. Since my arthritis got so bad and my anxiety heightened I quit. But I used to put such things as hand gliding...

A fellow mom gifted me an angel ornament. As you can see in the photo, it is made out of shells. It is pretty, photo does not do justice. It is glittered and small white beads are around the head. I got two and I...

much2say I wonder why the package wasn't just delivered to the door . . . you'd think the carrier should know better than that. Was it crammed in or placed on top? I'm assuming they won't take responsibility for it.

Have you heard about the Amazon strikes?

snowy @snowy22315 (181997) • United States 17 Dec

I was wondering why they didn't discuss this on the news last last night but apparently only a few facilities are striking (how kind of them to do this just when people are looking forward to sending and receiving Christmas gifts)...

much2say I heard it on the news here - but I think it was just in NYC at the time. I would not be surprised if many other locations did the same - although I know they had strikes here in the past year.
