Our contribution to save the nature

Abhijit Bangal @abhi_bangal (5518) • Ahmednagar, India 13 Jul

We are all facing serious global warming problems. What are your contributions to save Mother Nature? As for me, I walk and avoid biking whenever possible. And a lot more things I do. How do you contribute?

mynameiskate I don't think mother nature needs saving but the people who live on this planet often do need some help. Myself I travel quietly around in my spacecraft observing. Yes, everything is changing. I've learned in the universe this is what happens. What it changes...

How Much Screwier Can Things Get?

celticeagle @celticeagle (168269) • Boise, Idaho 19 Jul

After Trump's RNC speech on Thursday, his odds of winning the 2024 Presidential election went from 2/5 on Thursday to 8/15 on Friday. Percentage-wise it went from 71.4% to 65.2%. The guy can't seem to do a speech now without...

mynameiskate I don't know that much about politics. It might be best to get some new blood in both parties? How does that work? I remember when Trump was center stage and got to be leader of his party. Who decides to have leadership conventions? Is the party themselves and...

Good night, dear friends.

marguicha @marguicha (223773) • Chile 30 Apr

It will be a chilly night as it was a chilly day. So today I decided to use my electric heater instead of buying an electric blanket. And I added another light blanket to my bed. Being cold makes me more sleepy. So I will turn...

mynameiskate It's amazing how much heat the body makes if it stays under the covers. My place tends to go up and down though with the furnace so I try to remember set it lower at night but not too low.

Yup, some of the stuff I was thinking about doing the other day. I cut the grass, did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed. Didn't do the dishes, though. And now I'm going to clean the tub and take a bath, then off to read...

Daniel Flanagan @Danie75 (3) • Gosford, Australia 27 Apr

Hi all, I'm from Australia & my name is Daniel. I am diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I am a shy, quiet, introverted kind of guy. I'm just posting to hopefully make a new friend or two and interact with other like minded...

mynameiskate Lots of people are quiet and shy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being introverted. Sometimes it can even be a big plus. The label introvert can sometimes unjustly have a poor reputation. Not true. I had a friend at one time who had to deal with that...

Self-Worth

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2575) 30 Apr

The world is full of hurting people. For many, social media has become an outlet to express their pain and disappointment. We are taught in middle school the hierarchy of needs: food, clothing, shelter, and some include love. I...

Just as I thought. My daughters want me in a senior home.

marguicha @marguicha (223773) • Chile 15 Apr 23

They came with brochures (I confess that they were good senior homes). My granddaughter read there how wonderful were the menus. Because they offered a room with no place to cook. They told me how happy would I be there, with...

mynameiskate The great thing about home care is that they look after people. You don't have to cook. Its nice there if the people running the show do care. The thing though about home care is that it is not a home. It is an institution. And institutions have rules. As...

Artificial Intelligence - For or against

Roland Pinder @rpinder (48) 20 Feb 23

If you have faith....

Jojo @Sojourn (13837) • India 28 Dec 22

I heard that faith can cause miracles. But this news is quite unbelievable. A pastor in South Africa has made a woman lose fat around her waist and reduce it by two inches in a matter of a few minutes. Now, I am also growing fat...

Living In The Woods

popciclecold @popciclecold (39512) • United States 11 Dec 22

As you all know I live in a very wooded area. Every since I saw these animals attacking kids, it has made me wonder what all can be lurking in the woods. I already don't go out at night, these kids were attacked in the city, and...

mynameiskate I like that idea. That sounds like a good plan. I guess it isn't a sure bet though? But I suppose the point is to give and not think about the receiving part that might come some day. Glad you got something you own. Hang on to it.

Will You Continue To Mask?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28955) • Canada 24 Apr 22

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120121) • United States 16 Apr 22

Weird Word Wednesday- Pullulate

Diana Bauder @BloggerDi (3113) • United States 30 Mar 22

Pullulate is a new word to me. I chose it because it's Spring in the US now and many plants are blooming! Two synonyms for this word are budding and germinate. Pullulate is not used in everyday conversation, with the exception of...
