What are your favorite songs/songs that you replay often?

Alexandria @searmiel (61) 7 Jul 20

So I decided to do a 30 day self love challenge. I think we all need it even more now, since we're spending most of our time (if not all) indoors. The only thing I needed to do is just listen to music today. I made a playlist...

skydancer Anything by Garth Brooks or Meat Loaf -- both their "hits" and their lesser-known songs as well. The country hits of the mid 1990's that I grew up on will always be played frequently. I am also loving a lot of Sixx AM lately ("Prayers for the Damned" is...

Some people will throw out anything

snowy @snowy22315 (182175) • United States 25 Jul 20

So, I was at the trash collection center earlier, where people bring trash and recycling. Someone was throwing out a beautiful, and totally undamaged large wicker hamper. I rescued it from being crushed in the compactor. Maybe it...

skydancer I also can't stand seeing perfectly good items thrown out. This includes items that are undamaged, and those that are fixable. I probably would have "rescued" it myself. Anyway, you know what they say, one person's trash...

Do you CHECK on an EXPIRATION DATE before buying them?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140119) • Philippines 25 Jul 20

I am sure most of us do this simple protocol before buying canned goods or any other products in the supermarket. We cannot afford to be poisoned and die because of eating goods that were expired. Some supermarkets intend not to...

skydancer I always check the date on everything, not just canned goods. I also make it a point to consume it before it reaches said date because if you don't, not only did you just waste money, you also didn't get to enjoy it!

Jobless

Dhiane08 @Damon31 (81) 26 Jul 20

Does it troubles you being jobless this pandemic? I would really say, yes I am. This may triggers anxiety but I guess we need to stay positive to survive. This is just a challenge right? Thus, it will make us a better person in...

How many of you have recliner chairs and do you enjoy sitting in them?

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130213) • Israel 21 Jul 20

My grandfather had a recliner chair and I loved it. He used to let me sit in it when I would come to visit him. It was so comfy. I do not know what happened to it when he died. I wanted one, but, we live in a small place and...

Ever See Your Outfit on Someone Else?

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 25 Jul 20

Diana @dya80dya (36774) 22 Apr 20
