Are you annoyed when people tell rumors about you?

cokiemich24 @cokiemich24 (55) • Philippines 3 Mar 07

when you've done something wrong, rumor starts and spreads very fast. On the other hand, when you've done right or good, people would invent rumors just to ruin your reputation. I'm really irritated to these kind of persons. I...

Metallion @Metallion (2227) • United States 4 Jan 07

lexieburgess I know that I had great fun watching my kids as they grew. they are all grown up now. What I have found is that there is something at each age that will get your attention. You have to pick those times that they are engrossed when they are small say up to 5...
