Bristol Is The latest Place For 'The Hum'

JENNY ARCHER @bookbar (1609) • Sudbury, England 19 Jan 16

Although that mysterious, low-pitched Hum has been experienced, virtually nationwide in the UK, it has now alighted on Bristol, in the South West of Britain. Not for the first time, apparently, it also happened in the...

My grandmother was 13 years old when she left home to work in the local 'Big House'. She was a live-in domestic servant - a scullery maid. She had no say in the matter as there were no other options available to English 'working...

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45494) • United States 30 Dec 15

Yesterday I posted one discussion where I stated I would only start only one discussion all day. I stuck to that by the way which wasn't easy as I always have ideas in my head! I commented on discussions, replied to comments,...

All I Want for Christmas Are My Two Front Teeth

paigea @paigea (36317) • Canada 30 Dec 15

I was a whiny little sister wanting to go everywhere with my much older brother. As he set off to go bike riding one day I started my usual campaign to be allowed to join him. I was about 4 and didn't have a bicycle; I had a...

Mine are shrivelled....

Max Crisp @Orson_Kart (6790) • United Kingdom 16 Nov 15

I don't think it's anything to do with the cold, more like they are old and past their best. I have kept them in the fridge for as long as I dare but I think it's time to throw them out. How do you know when grapes...

I am glad there were no video games when I was a child

paigea @paigea (36317) • Canada 28 Dec 15

I think I might have spent way too much time playing them. Instead I spent so much time reading as a child, my parents, who were both teachers and who had taught me to read, were horrified at how much time I spent reading. They...

shelly These are lovely memories, I love the idea of a tandem bike. My little man also helps with the washing but it is a lot easier now, he hands me the items out of the basket to put in the machine and hands them back to me to hang up once they are done, and he can...

Since When Is There No Room for Improvement?

ElizabethWallace @ElizabethWallace (12074) • United States 27 Dec 15

My HMO sends out emails every once in a while. They often include little tidbits of information about how to improve our health. Often they are lifestyle choices, preventative medical tests or vaccinations. I received one that...

shelly It is probably that there aims aren't as high as yours and if that's the case then maybe you have outgrown them. I don't really know what a HMO is but can you change to a different one ? If you want to improve your fitness and stamina further there are plenty...

Trust in a relationship

talithe @talithe (38) • United States 15 Jul 10

I recently talked with a friend about trust issues in relationships. I've been battling trust issues ever since my first boyfriend, back in 2004. He's a great guy in his own right, but in the first year we were together he did so...

Restraining Orders - is it too late to get one?

talithe @talithe (38) • United States 23 Mar 09

I'd like to post this as a more generalized topic, rather than a very personal one, and any comments, resources, and experiences are welcome. A year ago, Jane was involved in an abusive relationship with Matt. At first it was...

shelly It is still harassment can you not get a restraining order for that reason, if someone was hassling you everyday declaring their love for you it is still harassment. I don't know what the laws are in the US but I am sure it would be totally reasonable to get...

Almost a Meltdown

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21744) • Canada 28 Dec 15
