I have a job that is so so boring with little/nothing to do for hours that I found a new diversion staring at the computer. I watch the digital time and date minute by minute and add up the numerals in the date and the numerals in the time and see if they are the same. It surpirses me how many...

Have you been to Athens lately? How did you enjoy it? How long did you stay there? How was the food?

I read a lot, mostly books. Magazines waste my time mainly because of too many ads and pictures. I enjoyed reading Getting Back by Maller. A little known book with romance and humor, partly about a man's experiences at Catholic college in U,S. I also read Mother of God (new) about the Amazon...

Well, I am not pleased when I call an American company (travel agencies, bank, etc.) to get my call answered in the Philipines or India or somewhere. I understand that their wages are lower so that the business saves money. Their accents are thick and unclear. (To me) They talk much too fast...

Last week I saw a pigeon who ate an order of large McDonald's fries off the sidewalk. He flung the fry in the air until it broke then he could pick it up better.

Do you think it is appropriate for an unmarried man to exchange friendly emails (nothing romantic) with a married woman who is acqaintiance only? Both these women know that I like them and have some feelings for them as well. I have not seen either one for a long time,and have no other...

Ugh, I can't stand mayonnaise on burgers. Yet Wendy's and Burger King always do this. Do people tolerate it or really like it?

What is wrong with living in the past? The older I get, the more I seem to do so, and I don't see anything bad about it. Philosophically, the past is all we have as long as it is remembered or recorded. Our future actions are a result of past decisions and things that happened. We live through...

Have any of you living in America and especially living alone, moved a long way away after or possibly before retirement and in your late fifties or sixties? I have thought about doing that for many many years now, but my work and a sense of family obligation stopped me. I know absolutely no...

a few overrated people, as I see it. Marilyn Monroe (famous for being famous) Pres. Ronald Reagan Pres. John F. Kennedy Andy Warhol (comic strip art) Paul McCartney (I love Beatle music, but he's had enough accolades. and a few overrated, expensive wines, vegan diets, pro soccer, in...

I have realized for a long time that no one really understands and know me. By that I mean, deeper desires, needs, values. Superficially, yes. Since some of you are married, can I assume that your spouse really knows you as you know yourself? Or do they just think they do? Do they care about...

I see cactus sold in produce sections of supermarkets where I live. What do people do with them? Do they make jelly, or what? I think that this is a Mexican thing. How do they taste?

I wonder if there are others here that never married or something like that? Stayed single, alone? If so, how do you feel about it? Any regrets about it? Do you kick yourself? Glad?

So many times I have heard people repeat these old cliche axioms as if they were golden truths-- but they aren't! Honesty is the best policy....... sometimes Follow your passion..............yeah but dont expect to make it your career There's someone out there for...

It seems to me that friends are basically conditional or contingent friends only. I mean real friends, not on the internet only. When I look back, I see that my friends shared a common interest or bond or circumstance or situation, and after that changes, or one friend no longer has that...
