My Mom used to say I've learned to swear while working as a journalist, in a predominantly male-dominated environment. Probably true. Also, those were educated people, some of them very smart. I don't

Challenge accepted :)

What a great reading year so far... i envy you for having many of these books still fresh in your mind. Definitely agree with you on Rama and Cixin. Loved them both. I will keep in mind the fan fiction

No, I don't think I'll require their services in the near future. They're old so they could use a break. On the other hand, I was telling you about moving into the crone archetype. One side of the crone

I don't have a garden so I only do house plants. Lots of them. I have a zebra plant which is so easy to propagate that I know have it in six pots in various stages of growth. All of them seem to be thriving

Although I've been single all my life, I somehow still believe finding the right guy to spend your life is possible. I also believe in aliens and other weird stuff :)) The question is finding the right

As a frequent flyer with low-cost airlines in Europe, I can tell you that I also try to do my best at cost-cutting. Years ago, we'd take a paid carry-on on most flights. Nowadays it's let's see how much

The other day I happily distributed a Youtube audio recording of Ozzy Osbourne singing one of my favorite Aerosmith tunes, Dream On. Ozzy sang it beautifully... but it was, of coure, AI generated. The

Great song! I didn't know it, so thank you very much. Also, devastating as I realize my friend surely knew this song. He knew music inside out, but most of all he was a Rolling Stones fan, to the point

I was blessed with quite a bunch of half-siblings. Currently, I am trying to negotiate some sense of closeness with the eldest of them, who has just returned here after spending 35 years in the US. She's

I don't think there will be a day of judgement for the war pigs. I'm a little cynical like that. That's my complaint with this song, which I adore. I keep waiting for the hand of God to struck the hour

I think I've had this feeling of being a treasurer of memories after my mother died. I realized I am the only one to remember various moments I shared with her and my sister, also long gone. Not to mention

You should be careful with that empathy if you work around people in desperate circumstances. I was reading the other day about a therapist who provided services to AIDS patients back in the day when they
