On a side entry to the house, I recently had to change a door handle to a door knob because the cat named Penny learned to open it. It took a few days to figure out how the hell she was getting outside...she was jumping up and grabbing onto that handle, opening the door with her weight on the...

I'm sure it's a fairly common habit, but one of my cats, Charlie, has a consistent habit of hiding his toys when he's finished playing with them, usually in places where he can't retrieve them later, like under the fridge, short-legged furniture, and the spare toilet-roll holder that sits only...

Birds are happily chirping, the orange tree has blossoms, and the AC is on. And I'm gonna be wearing shorts while I harvest some of our tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers this evening.

We can only guess, right? I'm guessing no. 200 years ago (in the US), people were closer to God, practiced their faith, went to church every Sunday, husbands and wives had traditional roles, and children were treasured. After all, it wasn't uncommon to lose a third to half of them to common...

Online porn, including child-porn, is a multi-billion dollar industry. Clear evidence of its prevalence. That begs the question, have masses of people always had this propensity, and it's only come to light since the invention of the internet? Maybe we've become a sicker society over the past...

The US penal system castrated convicted pedophiles for a while. They'd have gotten the same result if they'd cut off an ear. Removing a body-part doesn't change their desires. You can no more "cure" a pedo than you can a serial killer. They have to be separated from the rest of society to keep...

I've been feeling much older for the past year and 3 months, ever since I hurt my back while I was taking down our Christmas tree in 2024. Pain really drags you down. It takes a toll on you, physically and mentally, especially when you know there's no way to fix it...maybe in a decade or so, but...

Is Canada familiar with Peanuts...Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, etc?

In the Peanuts cartoons, the Marci character always addressed Peppermint Patty as Sir.

I'm glad for that. Don't let that elbow stiffen up. Don't over do it, but do make sure to move it some every day. I know you know better than to do anything remotely like this, but I'm reminded of an aunt whose elbow was injured (severe hyperflexion) and she wore a brace + sling for at least 5...

I believe all medical cannabis is sourced from the Cannabis Sativa plant. The 2 other strains of cannabis are Indica and Indica/Sativa hybrid. Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects, Sativa strains are energizing, and hybrid strains have characteristics of both, but must be...

This record was played at a former girlfriend's "figure salon" while all the ladies exercised.

That's a strong possibility @Blessed. There's also a possibility your mom never realized or recognized how much you matured and accomplished as an adult...like, she just wasn't close to it, didn't see you in action on a daily basis, so she was still fixed on a much earlier, maybe less...

Barbie dolls are produced at two factories in China, one in Indonesia, and one in Malaysia. Maybe that's got something to do with it. The original dolls were made in Japan, and then in a number of other countries, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Korea and Mexico. Some of her...

The apartment was great. The complex only had 52 apts, broke up into 12 separate buildings. It had 1 bed/1bath apts up to 5/bed/2bath apts, so lots of families, but the grounds were really well-planned: a playground for kids, a gazebo for the adults, a basketball court for teens, and...
