News; birthdays/events; HR managers say this "politically incorrect" thing still happens at offices...have you ever done it?; word of the day.
News; would you cut up soap and put it in your yard to repel pests?; game: what year was it?; have you (or would you) use a drone for delivery?
News; are your friends your same age or do you have really young or really old friends?; game: mind the gap part 1; game: mind the gap part 2.
News; do you have any of the "ugly" personality traits?; embarassing jobs...would you tell people you did something else?; goodbye/fun facts....International Waffle Day. Waffles came to Sweden near the early 1600s and quickly spread to nearby lands. They were often eaten with jams and fruits, establishing themselves as a beloved treat to be eaten at all times of the day. The day itself is the result of a mispronunciation that brought two holidays together. In Sweden, Waffle Day is known as Våffeldagen, which sounded a lot like Vårfrudagen a day that celebrated the Virgin Mary's conception. Because of this lingual connection, it became customary for Swedish families to celebrate Vårfrudagen by eating waffles on Our Lady Day--which is March 25. In 1839, the Belgian waffle was created much thicker than regular waffles and with deeper grids so they hold more butter and syrup!
