Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Gerbil ! Wanting the truth shows how much you value honesty in your relationships. Do you find that people are usually straightforward with you, or do you sometimes have to ask for the full story?
Thank you for sharing your view @Bojamin . It takes real strength to choose truth, even when it’s tough to hear. Do you feel that hearing the truth helps you cope better in the long run, compared to being comforted in the moment?
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful perspective @tb8462 . You’re right—it can be tricky these days to know what the “honest truth” really is. Do you find there are certain people or sources you trust most to give you that unbiased honesty?
Thanks for keeping it short and strong @Wiseoldone ! Choosing the honest truth really says a lot about how much you value openness. Do you think most people in your life feel the same way, or do you sometimes find they lean more toward giving comforting words?
Thank you for sharing @Crone455 ! You put it so clearly—truth really is vital. Do you feel that being told the truth strengthens your trust in people, even when what they’re saying is hard to hear?
Thanks for sharing that @NIBOR0 . I admire your willingness to face the truth, even when it’s not easy to hear. Do you find that people usually respect your preference for honesty, or do you sometimes have to encourage them to be more upfront with you?
Thank you for sharing your perspective @Cindy k . It sounds like honesty is something you really value, especially to avoid that sense of being let down later. I’m curious—have you always felt this way, or did certain experiences shape how important truth-telling is for you?
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts @tennis . I can see how being told the whole truth from the start saves you from that feeling of disappointment later on. Do you find that you prefer truth straight up in all situations, or are there times when you’d rather hear it softened a little?
That’s wonderful—thank you for sharing @steverino ! It’s amazing how music helps things stay in our memory for a lifetime. I still remember a little tune we used in school to memorise multiplication tables, and it’s stuck with me too. Do you ever find yourself singing the states song just for...
Thank you for sharing those @Gibb — I love memory tricks like HOMES and ROY G BIV, they really do stick with you! I remember learning ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit’ for the musical notes on a staff, and it’s still the first thing that comes to mind when I see sheet music. Do you still use these...
Thank you for sharing that @Marilea — I love how your mom’s routine has stayed with you and that you’ve made it your own. It’s amazing how those rhythms from childhood can stick. Do you find having a set schedule makes chores easier, or do you sometimes like to mix it up?
Thank you for sharing that @Hazeleyes — I love how some expressions just stick with us. ‘A lick and a promise’ really does paint such a vivid picture! Do you find yourself actually using the phrase in day-to-day life, or is it more of a fun one you like to keep in your back pocket?
Thank you for sharing that @families2008 — 8 cans of poultry seasoning is impressive! 😄 I’ve definitely been guilty of letting spices linger a bit too long myself. Do you enjoy cooking a lot, or was this more of a cupboard surprise discovery?
Thank you for sharing that @GrandpaGrumpy — 1066 really is one of those dates that sticks with you! Your teacher clearly made an impression if it’s stayed in your memory for 50 years. Do you still enjoy reading or watching things about history these days?
That’s a brilliant fun fact @susanb3957 — thank you for sharing it! I’m impressed you knew both the word and the spelling, no wonder you won the bet. 😄 Do you have any other quirky words tucked away that have come in handy like that?
Haha, that one gave me a laugh—thank you for sharing it @Bobg ! 😄 Do you enjoy collecting little puns and wordplay like that, or was this one just too good not to keep in your memory?
Thank you for sharing this @NIBOR0 — it really shows how much you cherish your mom and make sure she feels celebrated and remembered. I love the tradition of tulips, especially with her saving the bulbs to see them bloom next year—that’s such a beautiful, lasting gift. And the Word of the Day...
Thank you for sharing that with us @angib55 . It must have been so disappointing to have such a special milestone pass by without the acknowledgement you were hoping for—especially after all the times you’ve celebrated others so thoughtfully. I can understand why those feelings linger. I’m glad...

Thank you for sharing that @Geri ! 🍰 Even without the eggs, I love that your grandsons still thought it was yummy—that’s true family support right there. Have you ever tried remaking the cake with all the right ingredients since then, or has the “mushy version” become its own little family classic?
