Oh my heavens, that's terrible!!! We bought a house at the end of '23 and the first thing we did was replace the main valve in the basement. The inspector didn't say anything about it, but when my nephew

I've never seen snake gourds before. They are gorgeous...and long :) The garden looks hot, and dry and beautiful.

Sea otters really know how to chill. Check out this live feed and chill with them for a while.

It's interesting, this dilemma we face with Hive engagement. Hive is for sure a crypto platform. That was a lure for many participants. That was the glue that held them here. It turns out, that is a rather

It is short, a quick read. I wanted to compare it to the film which is, as you say, unforgettable. I think the film does a better job of sharpening the message, of delivering the startling impression Harrison

I love fall. It's actually my favorite season...the weather, the colors...but it marks the end of something. You can't escape the metaphor. Life (summer, spring, plants--even insect life) ebbs away as

Hello @seki my young friend. I think you will enjoy this book. Try to keep in mind that it was written more than 50 years ago. A lot of stuff that has been written since is derivative of this, although

It's cicada season now, where I live. More than Auld Lang Seine, more than the falling of the crystal ball at New Year's, the sound of the cicada for me signals the passage of time. There they are, every

I'm sorry you had a bad week. No matter how strong we are, no matter how persistent, bad weeks will happen. I hope this one is better🌸

I think the issue of migration to cities is serious, but I think more telling is the issue developed countries are having with immigration. I think that is a symptom of overpopulation in the same sense

I grew up in school doing an exercise called "Duck and Cover". This was intended to protect students from nuclear attack. We were supposed to duck under our desks and cover our heads in case

Hello @goldgrifin00 I don't have a fortune :)) My modest possessions will certainly be passed on to my children and granddaughter. When we reach a certain age, most of us think about our kids and not our

Thank you🌞

I love Timothy Spall! It sounds like the kind of movie I would love to go to sleep by. Trains have always been associated with memories for me. When I was a child we would take the train Christmas and

I know you're not looking for a critique of your writing, but this is a perfect essay :) You take something simple--the scent of your father's shaving cream--and you created an experience around it. We
