Taking a break

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160933) • United States 29 May 20

We have sun today, you know what that means? It means I am outdoors. Mostly mowing, and trying to kill poison ivy. I feel good when I get to be outside. So glad the pesky rain is gone for now. Other good news. Hubby finally...

Things you do to keep yourself sane

agent_iii @unsulliedcatt (278) • Philippines 30 May 20

I received yesterday seeds I ordered online so I went to the local plants supplier and score bags of soil. I also had a plan to make terrarium out of my grandma’s old aquarium. Most of the seeds ordered were flowers (white and...

Good morning, friends. The sun is shining now. It is a chilly fall sun, but I have covered my terrace with plastic and Luna is behaving. I have read about how to help the seeds grow and after wetting the soil over the little...

A Lot of People Went Back to Work Today

Jaymie Suh @cherriefic (10399) • Philippines 18 May 20

Although we are still in quarantine, a lot of people went back to their jobs today. It sounds very risky to me. But they have to earn a living so off they go! The only problem is, it only takes one infected person to make...

Zoos I have visited: Los Angeles Zoo

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109846) • Los Angeles, California 14 May 20

Yes, I am blatantly ripping off Lori A. Moore’s series on her favorite zoos. That prompted my thinking about zoos I have visited and realization of how few I have visited despite all my travels and advanced age. I am not...

Obeying parents: Where do you draw the line?

Amabelle D @Marshmallow_03 (45) 12 May 20

It's always been stressed that obeying your parents is the right thing to do. But as you age and become more aware of the ways of the world, you will eventually ponder: Are my parents right? Do I follow their ways or follow what I...

saundyl It is a fair question. Sometimes your beliefs evolve from what your parent's beliefs are. That being said if you refuse to follow the rules of the household then it might be time to branch out on your own. Some rules are actually common sense. Some are...

Internet dating and relationships starting on the net.

Joanna Truscott @KeepCalmdrinktea (29) 14 May 20

I am 35 and I find it hard to meet people that I want to date. It seems to be a global problem recognised and felt by many. So we tend to look on the internet for that companionship that we feel we are missing in our lives. But...

Cigarette smokers LESS vulnerable to Covid-19?

The Horse @TheHorse (220191) • Walnut Creek, California 13 May 20

I just read a New York Times article that, overall, was not very encouraging. In the article, some scientists are cited as saying 70% of US citizens will get the covid-19 virus. What will vary is how severe their reactions are....

saundyl I read that somewhere as well. I wondered though if it was more a case of smokers dont notice the symptoms as much and thusly dont go to the hospital for them because smoking already causes breathing and coughing issues.

I May Never Leave the House Again

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 11 May 20

What's the best "book find" you've ever had?

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 8 Aug 12

I mean in garage sales, second-hand bookstores, and the like. I've had my share of good "book finds" but the best one is when I found all 7 The Dark Tower books in one store for sale. It was roughly $10 for *all* of the books and...

Kareng @kareng (61479) • United States 6 May 20

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 2 May 20
