Melanie Marie I had trouble sleeping in my early 20’s. It was ruining my life. One day, I got fed up and found a doctor. Told him the problem, and said I want you to make this problem go away. And he did.

snowy @snowy22315 (204553) • United States 7 Mar

One thing sis and I both liked was this talking Woody the Woodpecker puppet. You pulled his string and he would say a funny phrase. There were about 12 of them..and we memorized them all. We both still remember them all..and will...

Melanie Marie Was it always the same phrase? Or did he mix it up with different ones.. My favorite toy was this life-size baby doll with big blue eyes. I carried her around everywhere and truly believed she was my child. Because she looked like me, even her face shape. She...

If you could live in another country for one year, where would it be?

cuttyrish @cuttyrish (3078) • United States 6 Mar

If you could live in another country for one year, where would it be? If I could live in another country for a year, I’d choose Japan. I’d love to experience the culture, food, and everyday life there. I love Japanese food,...

A good-looking bird

Judy Evans @JudyEv (374554) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Mar

Don’t you just love this rooster? It is as high as I am. It stands at the entrance to Henley Brook tavern where we stopped on the way home from our bus trip to the Swan Valley recently. It was a weekday and not particularly busy...

How many rugs do you have in your home?

Amber @AmbiePam (115240) • United States 7 Mar

I have one rug in my “hallway”, and one in my living room. I have a mat in front of my front door, but if you saw it you wouldn’t count it as a rug either. My late grandmother used to have so many rugs at the entrance to her...

Melanie Marie White carpet IS a bad idea, yes. But white is always beautiful, esp when it comes to flooring. Amber, you know I can’t discuss rugs right now. All I have now is the carpeting that came with this bedroom. It is a cross...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126684) • United States 1 Mar

How many times?

Toni @toniganzon (74913) • Philippines 1 Mar

How many times have you thought of revenge, retaliation against those who have wronged you? Too many for me but those were only thoughts and plans that never came into fruition. I simply couldn't. And in time, I just realized...

Melanie Marie Thoughts of revenge? When people wrong me (and it’s usually workers at stores, fast food places, etc.) there are no thoughts. Just Google reviews, that’s where I nail them. I put the exact time, location, description of the person, what they did, all in the...

How often do you return things?

Amber @AmbiePam (115240) • United States 1 Mar

I don’t have any problem returning things from a brick and mortar store, but I can’t think of a time I have returned something from an online site. Now, I also haven’t needed to take anything expensive online back, or my hesitancy...

Melanie Marie Hi Amber, if I don’t like it, I return it. Usually Amazon stuff. Because online pics of products are so deceptive these days. I’m fixing up my room temporarily while hotel-hoppin’ and I ordered this white-tile looking area rug. When it got here, this thing...

The affects of war. What to expect?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56026) 1 Mar

Melanie Marie Well, that sounds nice. I also appreciate the fact that you refer to your husband as The Mister. It’s creative, different, and cool. When I see someone call their husband “hubby” or even worse, “hubs” I actually cringe and feel like throwing up. Hope you guys...

Wheee! I paid off my credit card today. Have you ever paid "interest" on a credit card?

The Horse @TheHorse (235716) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Jan

I understand that credit card companies make money by charging their customers "interest" if they do not pay off their credit card bill every month. They are basically loaning people money at a pretty high interest rate. I have...

Melanie Marie I have two (secured) credit cards, and I pay them off in full every month. The credit union is helping me get my credit up, and the 2 secured credit cards are all part of the plan. It’s working.

snowy @snowy22315 (204553) • United States 14 Jan

What small thing would save you money if you got free?

Amber @AmbiePam (115240) • United States 11 Jan

A lot of things don’t cost much, but when you buy so much of them, they start to add up. Is there anything that seems like an insignificant cost, but when you start to think of it, you realize you could really use getting a few of...

snowy @snowy22315 (204553) • United States 17 Dec
