We can change many things, but we cannot change our family ties

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (85235) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 7 Jul

We change many things like clothes, shoes, bags, and other personal things, but we cannot change our family ties; they remain stronger with love. But if you have a lousy family, there will be no strong ties, and perhaps it will...

Respecting the Pain

Amber @AmbiePam (100474) • United States 14 Jul

I’m not a psychologist nor would I pretend to be. However, I remember reading a book about this in my twenties, and over the years it has popped into my head. It’s about minimizing or dismissing someone else’s problems or pain. I...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I understand. Our problems may not always be important to others like they are to us. And some things are too personal to just be ignored by someone who truly doesn't understand. I'm sorry you experienced that.

What Did You Have for Dinner Tonight?

Kareng @kareng (77662) • United States 8 Jul

I had put a small pork tenderloin in the slow cooker earlier this afternoon. It turned out so tender and juicy, and yes, was delicious. I served it with mixed vegetables: cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli steamed. This was...

Are you really going out dressed like that?

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13913) • Ireland 16h

I had a wonderful time in Manchester airport today as I occupied the chair of fashion judgement, casting aspersions on the travelling attire some folk deemed appropriate to step out in. I will be the first to concede that I am...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Those are some of the very reasons we will never go on another cruise. Too much fat nakedness much too close.

Are You Built To Survive Anything?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (71) • United States 15 Jul

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I really don't see myself as a survivor, although with God's mercy and Dale's care, I guess I am. Dale says I'm stronger than I think.

Do you have a cheerleader?

Amber @AmbiePam (100474) • United States 17h

This is my Aunt Lana. This photo was taken a few months ago on her 80th birthday. Her daughter threw a party for her (only aunts and girl cousins/nieces) with the theme of Lana’s youth, the sock hop. (The shoes were a gift from...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Dale's a most wonderful husband, but he's too much of a realist to be a cheerleader! Your aunt is beautiful, I can't believe she's 80! You're so blessed to have her in your life.

Three Kinds of People

Jim Bauer @porwest (103240) • United States 15 Jul

I Really Like Being Alone, Do You?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (71) • United States 15 Jul

No, not to the extent that I don't want to be with my husband, but I am perfectly okay being alone. Eating in restaurants alone. Going out alone. Going to the gym alone. Just being in the house alone is okay too. I read an...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl I know you enjoy cruises, but it's cool to be happy alone at times, too. I'm getting to where I really don't like people all that much. My favorite times (other than when the kids can be here) are when Dale and I sit in the shack in the backyard. It's quiet,...

snowy @snowy22315 (192782) • United States 14 Jul

The Baby AI Thing. I'm looking for my favorite.

The Horse @TheHorse (228609) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Jul

You've probably seen some of the toddler videos that are AI generated and quite cute. I am looking for my favorite, which involves the "dating couple" challenging each other, but I'll attach the Trump v. Musk debate one I just...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl Some of them are cute, but I totally object to using babies for sexual laughs. One baby shouldn't be telling another one that she's pregnant or if he wants to have sex with her. No wonder there are pedophiles out there.
