A baby-soft sink?

Fleur @Fleura (34588) • United Kingdom 7h

The new kitchen sink came with instructions in the form of pictographs. And the final step of the installation process seemed to be wiping it with paraffin. Well this seemed a bit odd, I wasn’t sure I wanted to use the old can of...

Which sports do you like to play?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (74) • United States 13 Apr

I don't know the distinction between calling something a sport or an event or an activity. When I was younger I played tennis. I was decent at it. A little older than that (20's) and I played for a short time on a company...

Michael Duff @Wrexxo (765) 18 Apr

Today, as we celebrated my brother's 39th birthday, I am realizing how fast everything is going around us. I will be 38 this year. Mom will be 58, and dad will 66. I remember, they were on their 30s when we were little boys. I...

Amber That’s so wonderful to hear! And how cool for your mother to suddenly start a side business. I worry about my dad getting older. My mom died at the age of 55 (11 years ago), and I just keep praying my dad, at aged 70, still keeps on going. He’s retiring next...

Amber That’s wonderful. When you give forgiveness to others, I think you should definitely be open to forgiving yourself. Sometimes it’s easier to forgive others! We can beat ourselves up so badly. I am glad you were able to let go of your past.
