Another useful find

Fleur @Fleura (30172) • United Kingdom 11 Jan

As I’ve doubtless said before, I never pass a skip without a quick look to see if anyone is throwing anything useful away. And a few months ago I found the Christmassy headband shown. I thought it would be just the thing when...

WorDazza The headband is fine but I think you might have overdone the botox!

Could You Run A Mile To Get Into College?!?!

Danna B. @db20747 (43440) • Washington, District Of Columbia 30 Aug 23

Vivek Ramaswamy is running for president of the US of A! And he wants college students to run a mile!!! He proposes they run a mile as part of the SAT entrance test. This might be no easy feat. Many students are very smart...

WorDazza Aside from some exceptional cases due to illness and other health conditions I find it an absolute disgrace that a teenager can't run a mile. As we (that's the entire Western world) seem to be in the midst of a mental health crisis there isn't enough emphasis...

Do you believe in Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster?

The Horse @TheHorse (217941) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Sep 23

As a kid, I was fascinated by UFOs, or flying saucers. I even read a few books on the subject before I hit my teen years. I've grown a bit more cynical, or practical, in my dotage, but old interests die hard. Of course, I was...

WorDazza Call me cynical but I hardly think it's a coincidence that there have been a couple of fresh 'sightings' of Nessie just as the newly re-vamped Loch Ness Centre has opened.

The cost of housing in Canada is ridiculous!

Starmaiden @Starmaiden (9311) • Canada 29 Aug 23

My landlord puts the rent up every year. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this as it was only allowed to be raised by 2% because of a rent cap. Recently, the province raised the rent cap from 2% to 5% of the monthly rent....

WorDazza Just be thankful you live somewhere that has rent caps. There are no such thing as rent caps in the UK. Basically landlords can charge whatever they can get away with and in a lot of the major cities, where demand for accommodation is high, being a landlord...

Why are men so dishonest?

vanny @vandana7 (100127) • India 30 Aug 23

I baked a cake after real long time. I am not satisfied with it. My father says its great. My neighbors say it is great. Even a 11 year old boy says its great. I now know that all four are liars. What is common in all of...

An alligator on the loose closes down a park in New Jersey

George B Vieto @Deepizzaguy (102110) • Lake Charles, Louisiana 30 Aug 23

WorDazza I think I'd find it a bit unnerving living in a country where such beasts roam freely. Just about the worst thing we have to contend with in UK lakes is the odd frisky pike! Or maybe the Loch Ness Monster.

WorDazza I like that you give names to your household appliances. I'm lucky in that I don't get billed on the amount of water I use. I pay a flat yearly amount. The water company keep trying to get me to install a water meter so I can be billed on the amount I use. I...

A challenging home-made jigsaw

Judy Evans @JudyEv (338685) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Aug 23

While we were house-sitting, I finished two big jigsaws. I started a home-made wooden one which was created by the father of the lady of the house. I didn’t think I’d get it finished so I’ve packed it away again but it’s obviously...

A bear makes an appearance at a high school football field

George B Vieto @Deepizzaguy (102110) • Lake Charles, Louisiana 22 Aug 23

A bear was seen in a high school football field in Gatlinburg Tennessee eight days ago running across the gridiron. The good side of this story is that the high school football players who attend Gatlinburg-Pittman High School...

A mug for our hosts

Judy Evans @JudyEv (338685) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Aug 23

Age is just a number

Always smiling @allknowing (135362) • India 18 Aug 23

The physical or mental state of an individual has many a time nothing to do with one's age. I have known oldies having an alert mind and body but some youngsters would have lost both their physical and mental capability. Here...

WorDazza As a 58 year old who has always exercised regularly, and still does, I can tell you that age definitely takes it's toll on the body no matter how fit you may be. I suspect I'm a lot fitter than most people but I always have some level of discomfort in some...

WorDazza Might be a bit risky (or even risque) doing a jigsaw which you have no idea what it depicts. It could have been made from the gentleman's personal photo collection if you know what I mean!

WorDazza I walk my dog every day after work. As I work from home these days I find it acts as a buffer between my work day and my personal time a bit like my commute used to. It helps that I have some nice hills and woodland to walk in too.
