She was talking!

snowy @snowy22315 (196227) • United States 17 Sep

So, when I went to my class reunion last month one of my classmates was there who was conversing normally with the people around here. It was a little bit shocking, but happy to see. She was a girl that during school simply did...

Heather Echola I do not think I knew anyone quite that shy. It was good for her to be talking at the reunion.

What is your favorite beverage?

snowy @snowy22315 (196227) • United States 17 Sep

I love coffee, but not sure it is my favorite. I like a White Birch Soda that as far as I know can only be purchased one place. I don't get there often unfortunately, but I think my very favorite beverage is cider. I don't buy it...

Back Home and Exhausted

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (52) • United States 17 Sep

It was a trying day. Mother-in-Law is really only hanging in there mentally by a mere thread. Which makes getting things done with her a challenge because she doesn't realize she's not well. I'm going to pat myself on the back...

Countdown of Sorts

Amber @AmbiePam (103110) • United States 17 Sep

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (53476) • United States 16 Sep

Amber @AmbiePam (103110) • United States 16 Sep

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (66031) • Centralia, Washington 16 Sep

The trip to visit with my sister started at 10 and ended at 8 pm. I'm exhausted and I wasn't the one who dealt with traffic. We did stop for a quick lunch at a Thai cafe. Reality really smacked me when I decided it was time to...

Heather Echola I am glad you had a good visit. Funny, not funny, I got locked into a lobby at a nursing home once. I do not even remember how I finally got out. Her green recliner is probably comforting to her as well as the family pictures.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124772) • United States 15 Sep

I didn't see him when I got back from work. I didn't see him at all. My ex showed up and he was still MIA. He LOVES my ex so that's when I really started to get worried. This place isn't that big. I checked all of his usual hiding...
