Snowing Again

Kathy @kamel622 (310) • United States 16 Feb 16

Yesterday my hubby and I spent about 40 minutes outside shoveling. While we do have a snow blower this was light fluffy snow that was easy to push with the snow shovel. We got the driveway, sidewalk and walkway all clear. This...

vivasuzi We have been very lucky here in MI this year! I think we only took out the shovel 1 or 2 times. We have my daughter's little pink shovel sitting in the frontroom for those rare occasions where we needed to clear the porch. It is a welcome break from the...

Seattle aquarium cancels octopus sex show because of cannibalism fears?

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Feb 16

A friend of mine just sent this one, and I must admit I had no clue. Apparently, the Seattle WA aquarium has a bit of a sense of humor, and it's been a tradition there to have an octopus sex show on Valentines Day. Well, a male...

Entertainment Critics Who Can't Write a Review

Patti Aliventi @PatttiN (6) • North Conway, New Hampshire 12 Feb 16

Ever look at a movie or theater review in your local paper and shake your head? I do that on a regular basis with the local newspaper here, The Conway Daily Sun. I had no formal training in writing when I ventured into the world...

vivasuzi I think you'd be surprised how little people get paid to work for local newspapers, some even do it almost like volunteer work! That's probably why they don't fire him and get a better writer. I actually don't even read reviews from critics. When it comes...

Crazy Weather in North Carolina

Ali Canary @AliCanary (3249) 15 Feb 16

Well, it's winter, but it's winter in North Carolina, so that means craziness. A few weeks ago we got almost a foot of snow, but then it was close to 70 degrees a few days, and last night it snowed again. We've even had a...

vivasuzi I used to think it was only Michigan that had the crazy weather changes, but I'm starting to learn more from those out of state! We always joke Michigan Weather - it's below freezing today, high of 57 Friday, was almost "spring" a few weeks ago. You really...

How much do you rely on online shopping?

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 12 Nov 15

I have a tendency, like most people I would imagine, to do as much shopping online as I can because it's convenient. My daughter is now taking up the habit, as well. She decided to order a rather expensive pair of headphones from...

vivasuzi I love shopping online but I would never pay extra for that kind of shipping :) I always look for free shipping or coupon codes or else it is not worth it. Lately I have had a rough time shopping online, harder to find free shipping or good coupons. Plus...

Trapped between sleeping and working

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 19 Jun 12

Because I had to meet three classes from 8 AM to 12:30 PM -straight- I was so tired I could hardly finish my lunch. After lunch earlier, I thought I would sleep for a while to recharge. Yes, I thought of taking a nap earlier. But...

vivasuzi I have been in the same situation so many times, often at night. I feel like I'm not tired enough for bed, but also not awake enough to be productive, so I end up wasting time online into the wee hours of the night. Then, I tend to get a second wind when I go...

Arguing with others

meemii @meemii (28) • United States 19 Jun 12

vivasuzi Yes you are right, shouting gets you nowhere. Well luckily he is your EX and you don't have to see him everyday. I would give it some time for you both to cool off and then, if you still felt bad, talk to him about it calmly. You need to work together since...

Will they ever end?

Lmfisher666 @Lmfisher666 (820) • United States 19 Jun 12

I hope that they don't end, because this is one of the best cartoon shows on TV today. And it is a classic. So many people enjoy this show, from kids to adults. They have some good messages to get across, and they have a lot of...

How to create a character

dansazz @dansazz (1058) • United States 19 Jun 12

When you are sitting down, writing a piece of fiction, how do you go about creating your characters? Do you have a unique process? Do you completely make them up, or do you get inspiration from real life. Is there characters that...

Why do Masterchef Judges bounce on the balls of their feet?

boyuancy @boyuancy (1708) • India 13 Dec 11

Have you noticed this peculiar trait of the judges: They bounce on the balls of their feet while critiquing the contestants and fold their hands? George Calombaris (Masterchef Australia - Short bald Guy), Gordon Ramsy (Masterchef...

vivasuzi Must just be a habit when they are thinking. Maybe just a coincidence that they all do it :) I think a lot of times the judges are thinking hard of what to say or how to describe the meal.

vivasuzi Yep I heard the news and wonder who she will bring in. I think she needs to bring in some notable people if she wants to replace those long standing favorites! I will miss Nigel and Jay. If she brings in some more nobodys, then nobody will watch!
