Silly mistakes you've made, DIY etc?In my teens I wanted to reduce the ground clearance of my little, very old car. I visualized a way to do it that involved turning the rear axle upside down. With much labor and some fabricated parts I actually managed to do it: Happily fired up the... (...)

Confrontation, do you thrive on it or avoid it?I am in the later category. I hate confrontation and have a long history of trying to avoid it. I have a lot of respect for people who, obviously, don't create it but know how to handle it. Those can turn a hammer into anvil, I salute them.

How can people see things SO differently? I was driving a friend of mine to his oncologists appointment on Monday, and the sky was just breathtaking. It looked a lot like this, but the navy blue streak was huge and dramatic...more pronounced, and there was a tiny patch of white on white... (...)
Why does life have to be like this?In a world with so many people, why do so many of us feel so alone? Me being one of them. I'm tired of being lonely but it seems the older i get, the harder that it is to make friends.
I love it when catastrophic situations pass….My man’s laptop screen turned black the night before a major presentation at work. He’d been working on that project for months. Thing is, he’s had the laptop for FOUR years. Why did that damn thing decide to go nuts on that very important day? He al... (...)
I found this interesting...In trying to find the difference between the words "Democracy" and "Republic", Merriam Webster says this: " democracy is to republic as monarchy is to kingdom." The United states is a Constitutional REPUBLIC.

Labour had less people vote for them in 2024 than in 2019.How is it possible they got a landslide victory, not a landslide defeat? Firstly, the maths. Lanour's vote share went up from 32% to 34% but the overall election turnout was much lower this time (60% vrs 68%). So more people did vote labour in.... (...)
I'm sorry for leaving...... all of a sudden for a few days. This one guy got so much on my nerves that I couldn't take it anymore and I deativated my account. Regret it now, I could have just blocked him, most of you have been very nice and I'm sorry that I don't have the... (...)
