What are some ways, if any, that Blurt enriches your life? (Hopefully for the better...)

One of my own stories is the YouTube video someone posted here on how to cook rice. The chef took a fresh ripe tomato, and set it on the rice in the middle of the cooker. 

Well it was like a light bulb went on; so now, I put in all my fresh vegetables, two Hebrew National Beef Franks, and a can of tomatoes along with the rice. Very wholesome, takes five minutes, plus easy cleanup because the rice cooker is non-stick!

I've gained many, many friends from all over the world and I've gotten some pretty awesome and tasty recipes.

I've learned a lot of patience too. I can finally sit back and let this old mind stew about something before I open my big mouth.

Well, yesterday I learned the difference between the House and the Senate! I also learned that there are a few sites where you aren't attacked for giving your opinion. :)

The laughs by far are my favorite. Also the personalities we have out here are meshed very well. We have such a great bunch of people.

It is like enjoying a cup of coffee with a friend every morning.

It is like opening a letter from a friend every afternoon.

And it is like going out on the town with a bunch of friends come the evening time.

But when it has all been said and done, I think the most memorable has to be the heartfelt relationships we have accomplished with one another.

The friendship and support from the blurtit community is by far the best. I also learn many things from questions asked.

Somewhere to go that often makes me laugh. I learn something new every day, I envisage us like a big brain and each one of us is a neuron. It is fascinating to speak with other people from different parts of the globe and get to know their characters, and share a little part of each others world, in doing so it gives you a gain a more well rounded view of life.

I learn something almost every day and enjoy watching people impart their knowledge of things to others. I've been here a few years and have learned quite a lot about people from all over the world and it's great. The strength of blurtit is the wonderful people who make up this great community. We may not always agree about things but everyone keeps the peace and makes our job that much easier. I thank all the great people for being members. It's changed my life being around so many wonderful and knowledgeable people.

Get out of depression and learn something new everyday and friends and sell or give away shine

Your keyword is "changed" but I would have preferred "enriched" which would have made the question easier to answer.

I guess I've changed by being in touch with so many people from so many places. Being able to interact like this gives us all the opportunity to get to understand people of all levels in a way we couldn't do without otherwise spending time in their countries. So I'll opt for being more tolerant.

I guess we all change a little when we get into discussions with people who share different ideas, too, so there have undoubtedly been some changes there.

But basically I just like coming on a chatting with such a wonderfully diverse group of people whose backgrounds, education, and ages, bring a variety of ideas I might not otherwise have considered. I enjoy your company.

Blurtit has enriched my life by : 1) giving me a place to vent with out any " real" life consequences :p

2) Makes me laugh almost every time I log on :) laughing is awesome:)

3) the friendships I have made on here are cool' as ....this is one of the only places online where I feel people are mostly authentically themselves and very accepting of others beliefs ( which is rare online)

4) I've learned random things like  Americans have an aversion to the letter U ;)  ( I didn't know that before)

- the best way to peel a banana is from the bottom

- and just this morning I learned you can paint rabbit poop red with sparkles and make a Xmas wreath out of it ...I'm not gonna do that though :/

The landscape of intelligent discourse with others in a community format has become too diluted, too polluted in this age of Facebook and Twitter. A fog of superficial blather, and ceaseless selfies, memes and pleas for attention. Massive gigabytes amounting to nothing.

I value exchanging ideas with the small but diverse group who frequent here, though I don't personally know them, there is an inviting sense of incremental discovery. The anonymity of this format allows us to reveal ourselves in thought, at our own pace absent other petty distractions. I find this hugely rewarding; to confer thoughtfully on topics with strangers who are willing friends from afar, who won't ask me for money, show up uninvited, or presume to waste my time.
