So my mother had surgery yesterday morning (LONG)

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128403) • United States 6h

Who knew? She had mentioned that the doctor thought she should have her gallbladder removed. I know all about that as I went through a really difficult experience with mine. She said it didn't to seem super awful so the surgeon...

Is there anything wrong with you?

Amber @AmbiePam (132993) • United States 11h

Let me explain. Most of us have something with which we deal. Even if you make it to old age, by the virtue of making it to old age, you’re going to have arthritis, even if it is mild. I’m wondering about things undiagnosed. I...

Another fun day at the dentist.

The Horse @TheHorse (241314) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Nov

I got a molar removed this morning. It was a crown that mysteriously broke off a few weeks ago.There was not enough tooth left to put on a new crown. There was no pain. Dentistry is pretty painless these days. I'm walking around...

A Little Less Hair

Amber @AmbiePam (132993) • United States 10 Nov

Amyra (my niece, far left), you might have noticed got a haircut. She wants it chin length, but when you’ve had long braids like she had (with African American hair) you can’t just unbraid the hair, and cut it when you want the...

It used to be you could not delete your discussions here

MJJR @TheRealMcCoy (171) 10 Nov

Yep, back then when you stuck your foot in your mouth you couldn't later realize your error and hide the fact. There also was no 'block' option back then to hide behind when people called you out for your...

I Finally Took a Stand On Tipping Entitlement

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (81) • United States 8 Nov

John Roberts I am anti tipping because servers in CA get the same minimum wage as everyone else and demand tips as an entitlement with the who cares if I provide crappy service attitude and no regard that we the customers can only afford so much.

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 45 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore at 4am. The high for today is 60. That is as low as I ever want to go. I woke up stupid early because of course I did. I...

NJ Chicaa Yeah they've said I shouldn't take anything but I just needed some relief from the pain. I'm not stupid and I have a very high tolerance for pain but I just needed a break. I feel so much better and if that makes me bleed more then oh well. I'll be watching...

It's So Exciting When Something You Wished For Actually Exists!

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (81) • United States 8 Nov

They sent me home with a small cold gel pack that goes over your eyes that has an elastic around the back of your head. That was to keep the swelling down after eye surgery. Then I've been having all of these migraines and...

snowy @snowy22315 (214930) • United States 8 Nov

So, as I have mentioned on here before the closest grocery store here unless you count the Dollar General market is Food Lion. Food Lion is a good clean basic store, and I usually like them, however, this particular store that...

Would you rather get up a little early and depart for somewhere as the day brightens, or come home as the sun is setting. Put me in that first camp. I had rather start a journey going into a sunrise, than travel as the sun...

snowy It really depends on the circumstances. In the fall and winter I try to leave early enough so the night time driving is at a minimum.
