People can have more power without violence than they think

Except the whole story was never really proven. There is no specific dates or locations. No full name of who actually bought, where it is, who sold it - a bank or auction-house or someone else. A story circulating on the Internet is not necessary true, just because someone rally want this story to be true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/200-nebraska-farmers/

This makes my heart so very, very happy.

Indian food for me is galloping across the playground at primary school with the wind in my hair, squealing into the air and pretending to be horses with to my (Indian) friend whose mum came to the school to teach us how to make samosas. (Deep frying at primary school wasn't an issue in the 80s!) Like everyone at my primary school, she moved away because her dad was in the air force but Natasha, I will always remember you like this!

This is really beautiful. Many of my favourite things are tied to memories of people that I love. I always love asking my friends if they have any good book, movie, hiking, or food recommendations. People really like sharing things that they love with others. I still listen to an old, burnt CD that my roommate made for my friend group over 10 years ago. The CD is so scratched up that it skips. I can't throw it away though as it just reminds me of happy memories and people that I miss.

this is beautifully poignant and poignantly beautiful. it has made me reflect on my past and realize that i, too, am a mosaic. i still am partial to dyeing my hair shades of red because my bestie from 1st grade started dyeing hers red in 9th grade (miss clairol "sparkling sherry"), so i did, too (mama dyed it for me. BEST. MOM. EVER!), because jackie told me it looked great on me; i love sushi because a man i once loved took me to a restaurant he loved; i love rock 'n roll to this day because the 1st man i ever truly loved was the singer in a southern rock band and took me to his gigs; i still squeeze lemon in my tuna fish salad because a man i once loved told me it adds "brightness" (it DOES!) and cuts the mayo...and those are just off the top of my head. ... this entry has given me rich food for thought, as i now will sit and ponder what other aspects of my current life i owe to those who have long since passed into the far corners of my memory.

YES! Very small life piece but there was a boy in primary school I was "madly in love with" for years. 20 years later--we never dated, never even held hands, I have been over him for 18 years, he has an amazing husband (so I'm told), and all my 4 digit pins are his soccer jersey + his track jersey. 😂

This hits in the wrong spot for me...

Jesus f*****g Christ BP, I read this s**t at work, I can't be looking people in the eyes with them all puffy like this.

Nope, not crying. Not crying at all. Dementia is such a cruel disease (for the person diagnosed and their family) so I am so glad that these two women found one another.

My Mom died from Alzheimers. It is a brutal disease...to watch your loved one be robbed of their minds.

Beautiful

Very glad(ys) for both Gladioli.

How could you not pet that fuzzy face?

While I aww at this one too, I don’t think dogs should be allowed to wander loose on ANY form of public transport, even if they’re allowed on said public transport. People have allergies. People have phobias or fear of dogs. A dog should never be off-leash or out of its carrier on public transport.

I would have taken him home,😚

That is an ADORABLE pupper! He almost looks to cute to be real!

Dogs are the best, mine is sleeping next room and already I'm miss her ( my husband is strict on no dogs in bed policy 😒 )

I love to think like this, especially when I'm feeling a bit depressed. It's just a nice thought, to know that however sad I may feel, I have what is needed to survive and thrive, plus more 🧡🧡

I do this when I get stressed and go into "poor me/why is this happening" mode. I remind myself that I have a roof over my head and a little money in the bank, etc. and other people have it much harder. My problems don't compare to what other people are going through.

So true. I know I have said it in other threads but I've been to countries where these things were not a given. I've seen people scavenging from dumps, diving in a sewage filled river for coins, begging naked and filthy on the streets, handicapped people in countries that treat them as second (maybe 3rd / 4th) class citizens. So many things that most people in my country (USA) take for granted. I know poverty / need exists here as well but most Americans do not realize how spoiled they are compared to many.

Same here!

This is very true, however it is still possible and allowed for a person to be sad/anxious/depressed despite having all this, and their feelings aren't any less valid.

Absolutely. If I ask someone what they do and their reply is along the lines of "you won't be interested, it's really boring" I am ready to go! Whether you're the kitchen porter for a restaurant or an accountant working in a specific industry you know stuff I could only dream of :-)

I love hearing about people's jobs and how they do whatever their thing is. One time in the 80s it was a stranger next to me on a plane. He was an engineer (scientist? don't recall which word) but his job was to try to figure out how to make disposable diapers more absorbent. Back then a 48 pack of Huggies was about the size of a hay bale. Now twice as many of the same size fits in a much smaller cardboard box. I think about him when I see them on the shelf. Might not have been him of course but people with his job figured that out. A neighbor was a hydraulic engineer. An old navy buddy is a programmer, now Chief Technical Officer in charge of the programmers. So many others - But I love hearing how things are done that I don't know how to do. People seriously into hobbies too.

More people need to learn this skill.

Love this

ABSOLUTELY!
