How long have you stayed at the same job?

besweet @besweet (9859) • Ireland 1 Oct 15

I've been in my current position for two years and I am still enjoying the day to day job. It's unpredictable and I don't have the same routine every day so it's still interesting. But I have too many responsibilities and work...

Rachel Young If you're too tired to do anything when you're not at work I'd definitely consider moving somewhere else, although if you do you may not enjoy the day to day routine as much at a different place

leaves have turned that dead brown color. Out my bedroom window is just a sea of leaves in the two trees out there in the backyard. I see Norman occasionally. That is the name my daughter gave the cute squirrel. Even he has...

I Stopped by my Parents' House

Morgan @OneOfMany (12150) • United States 1 Oct 15

I stopped by the house today to drop off trash (it's because I produce so little that I just put mine out with theirs) and recyclables, and ended up chatting with my mother. She's been writing grants lately to try to get funding...

How do you like your tea?

Shyamala annavarapu @Shyamalaa (525) • Udaipur, India 1 Oct 15

Tea, I feel is one of the most flexible drinks. It comes in a variety of forms, from the delicately brewed teas of Darjeeling, Assam or China, to the strong and sweet chai served on roadside of most Indian cities to the milky...

should we work hard to be healthy ??

Kevin Akash @kevinakash (2084) • Sri Lanka 1 Oct 15

Good health means the physical and mental wellbeing of a person. Day to day activities can be performed more efficiently by a healthy person. Physical fitness could be achieved by nutritional food, enough exercises. Carbohydrates,...

Rachel Young I think people should try and be healthy, but obviously if you don't enjoy it then I dont think it should be central to your life. Also there are more important things than fitness such as happiness...

DO age DOES really matter?

AR Dianon @dianon_ice14 (461) • Philippines 1 Oct 15

I am 28! I am liking someone but he is way too young for me. I can even be an aunt to him I guess. (haha) He is 23 and we seem to know each other for a long time since we go to the same church. I even saw him grew up! One...

Rachel Young I wouldn't say that was too bad an age gap, it's obviously not ideal, but if you both like each other why does it matter what other people may think about the age?

Rachel Young My school never taught any Charles Dickens, it was all Shakespeare, Carolyn Duffy, An Inspector Calls etc... I guess they spend a long time on a single book rather than learning about lots of different works

Ban on smoking in cars in front of kids starts today

Boingboing @boiboing (13153) • Northampton, England 1 Oct 15

As of today - October 1st - it's against the law in the UK to smoke in your car if you have kids on board. The fine if you're caught is pretty paltry - a mere £50 but I still I predict lots of protests about the driver's right to...

Rachel Young I think it's wrong when people smoke in the car with their kids as it is such an enclosed space, my friend's mum used to do it when i was in the car when I was younger and it was the most horrible drive ever, always made me want to throw.up, so I'm glad it's...

Why are escalators always sealed off when they do not work?

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 1 Oct 15

Escalators are extremely common these days and we encounter them on a regular basis. Despite being very convenient, they can really cause havoc when they break down because they are often cordoned off, which results in having to...
