Amber @AmbiePam (99162) • United States 12 Jun

It’s so funny my brother-in-law asked me why I wasn’t more forceful with management to hardwire my smoke alarms (because if they don’t by Tuesday I’ll have to move). I said, “Forceful enough?! I can’t REACH anyone!” So it’s been...

MARILYN What a fiasco! I feel so bad for you and it's beyond frustrating that no one answers the phone or responds. Praying for a miracle for you.

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (30) • United States 13 Jun

A bit backwards, but things are getting done.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (78076) • Daytona Beach, Florida 13 Jun

It's morning, and while I wish I'd gotten on an hour earlier, I'm thankful that things worked out the way they did. I've got laundry going, George is set with his shake, and I'll get the dishwasher after the washer is done....

The Horse @TheHorse (227597) • Walnut Creek, California 13 Jun

Often, when I get home from Guitar Center, I want to be alone with Kitty. I can work on my book, do some MyLotting, and have another sip of Scotch. But yesterday evening, I had a couple of hot babes over, Tereese and Edith....

Book Update

Jordan Lader @JordanLader (6031) • Sparta, Tennessee 13 Jun

I can't remember where I left off again lol I guess there's a lot going on that my memory is just off. So I figure that it is just better to make the list of the books that I read from the beginning. I know that I am behind on...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (355950) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Jun

MARILYN It is funny how these sayings become popular but I do know what each of them means I remember when I was in school and the teacher would say you have "ants in your pants" to students who couldn't sit still.

Some People Will Never Be Happy

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (30) • United States 12 Jun

My mother-in-law (82 years old) is saying things like "I want to be the "happy" me" again" and "I just need some happiness in my life." The truth is, she's never been happy. I was reading an article about the habits of people...
