We Think Hubby Has Gout

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (80) • United States 21h

Hubby woke up with a red, swollen, painful, angry-looking big toe on his left foot. He's had gout in the past so he pretty much recognizes this as being gout although he fears that his diabetes might be causing it and he'll lose...

Something I never thought I would need to do

Are you in favor of toy guns?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (15237) • Philippines 11 Jul

I don't allow my grandkids to play with toy guns, because they may think that it is the same when they see a real one. So, I prohibited them from playing with toy guns. What's more, there are people in the family who own guns, so...

As most of you know, I have a tremendous problem trying to sleep. I get no more than 4 hours of sleep a day; and it's not unusual for me to be up 24-48 hours at a time. I'm always tired; and I know that lack of sleep can cause...

Amber I’m not a big fan of KFC. They used to be so good around here, but like 20 years ago their food started getting super greasy, and kind of sloppy. However, that doesn’t mean it is like that everywhere. It could be just in my area.
