Some packaging is just awful! I spent many years in the retail industry, and an awful lot of packaging is not designed to protect the products but to fit a certain type of retail display fixture. Home

I suppose I would have fewer issues with this whole ball of wax if things could actually be repaired when they break. Doesn't apply to cheese bags, of course! My stepdad was a car dealer and skilled mechanic,

Thanks Joan! Sometimes it just makes me sad that some people seem absolutely terrified that someone else might hold a different perception of reality than they do... and then feel the need to beat down

Hello @cuddlekitten and thanks for coming to visit.

I think you are quite right, we are a rare breed. The majority of Internet users are more into memes, Tiktok and Twitter than traditional blogging and story telling. I'm glad we do have venues like Hive!

Just another Hallmark holiday. Sad... and it scares me a little that there are gradually no people left who lived during a world War. No voice of direct experience... just a "concept" in a history

IF I were to vote, which I am likely not... I would be more inclined to say that I for sure wouldn't vote for a candidate who was openly anti crypto.

Being in nature is definitely a good start. I work online, so pretty much anything analog is a welcome break... particularly when life is bringing me down.

Sometimes people just need a "space" in which to tell their story. When I do decide to ask someone how they are doing, I am fully ready for them to share sincerely...

Thanks! We look for patterns all the time... surprising how often they appear when you keep your eyes open. 11:11... and 222, as well.

How awesome is that?!?! Love it! Love. It. Came across Silver Sky on YouTube because I'm subscribed to Mhammed's channel; and then — no connction — came across one of your posts in the "Amazing

I'm glad Denmark offered you shelter and a place for reflection, for a while. Safe travels, and may your return to Romania offer you up all the good things you wish for yourself!

It very interesting how we "experience" other places. When I moved from Europe to Texas (college) it was not so much a case of culture shock as it was the fact that my surroundings felt wrong.

It's a strange thing that I can't really explain. And I'm not sure anybody would really understand it unless they had lived in a country other than the one in which they were born, and for an extended

Well, something new for my "watch later" folder! Yes, because it is one-fifty-aye-em right now, and I also have lots of spinning plates. But really... interesting.

Sloth on! I just don't have mornings "in me," and only try to get up early to the degree that we live in a world designed around life's early birds.

Allright, I'll be my own testimonial here: I joined this gig 6 1/2 years ago, not because of some promotion or ad, but because someone sent me a link to an article that just happened to be published on

He'll @cuddlekitten and thanks for visiting!

Very wise move, says I. However, the idea was to give people free Legion, and not free hive. I fear you were not even giving people "free Hive."* You were giving them free fiat. For most people

I prefer weeding in late spring when the weeds are somewhat larger, but haven't yet set flowers and seeds... and the ground is not a muddy mess, but still moist and soft enough that it's not like working
