Stacey @xstitcher (36918) • Petaluma, California 4 Dec

My step counter says 2,318 now. I started off heading to the mailbox to put a card in so it went out today--planning to go around the other side of the apartment complex and through the back to the mailbox so I could get my...

Where do you NOT like going during the Christmas season?

Amber @AmbiePam (107825) • United States 3 Dec

My answer? The post office, which I needed to go to today to mail a package. The line was to the door, and only three of the four windows were open. I was afraid I’d be standing forever, but it just took about 8 minutes (I timed...

Melanie Marie Definitely would avoid malls ( I never go to malls.) There’s too much static electricity with all the talking & multiple people and stores jammed into one building.. it does something to my brain. But to be honest, I’d avoid the roads in general. People are...

celticeagle @celticeagle (182948) • Boise, Idaho 23 Nov

Trump recently proposed a $2,000 dividend check to all Americans under the $100,000 income bracket. Nice idea which I had nice daydreams about But-- It is estimated it would cost about $600 million to do that. Trump's tariffs have...

Making a Comeback

Amber @AmbiePam (107825) • United States 23 Nov

Is there anything making a comeback that you are happy to see? This crossed my mind when I saw a commercial for the TV show, “Landman”, and saw Demi Moore. I always thought she was so pretty, and I loved her voice. She made a...

Do you know the meaning of your name?

snowy @snowy22315 (199832) • United States 23 Nov

I was cleaning the corner where I will put my tree, and found a key tag with my name on it. I knew this before but I read it. It said my name "Karen" is oringinally from the Greek and then the Danish form of Katherine meaning...

What do you after vacation?

Amber @AmbiePam (107825) • United States 23 Nov

So I woke up this morning, and took my medicine, checked Mylot (wrote a discussion), and then went back to sleep before church. Only to wake up at 11:27am. So with the exception of thirty minutes, I slept twelve...

Melanie Marie That was a good sleep though, wasn’t it? A 12-hour sleep stretch is always my fave. After a vacation, I do all the things I couldn’t do on vacation. Like sleep in my own bed, spend A LOT of time alone without a bunch of people swarming around me, and then I...

Anyone Else a Fan of Jeff Goldblum?

celticeagle @celticeagle (182948) • Boise, Idaho 23 Nov

I really enjoy this guy's personality. He's suave, confident, charming, funny, intelligent, and has good sense. I have seen him in some crazy movies and of course most recently he has been in the Jurassic Park franchise. But even...

Why I Do What I Do. No, Really, It's the Why

Jim Bauer @porwest (111560) • United States 16 Nov

I can't count the times I stood on the production line beside someone grumbling about how much they hated their job. "Why not find one you'd actually enjoy?" I'd ask. "I can't afford to quit," they'd reply. That always stuck...

Melanie Marie This was beautifully written, and I happen to agree with every word of it. “I can’t afford to quit.” Ummmm maybe use your spare time or even your lunch break to find a job you actually enjoy? The people that stick with jobs they can’t stand and then complain...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (52027) 16 Nov

Melanie Marie When it comes to getting something I want, I become very stubborn and fixated on it. I don’t know if that’s willpower but it might be. I know I can hold a silent treatment longer than anyone else, so that probably takes willpower. Well, maybe not longer than...

Thanksgiving.

Judy Story @jstory07 (146889) • Roseburg, Oregon 13 Nov

Thanksgiving is a time for giving. A time for forgiving. A time for enriching your life. A time for dismissing the past. A time to chill and have some thrills. A time for cheering. A time to kick back and relax.. A time for...

I decided to quit taking some of my pills.

marguicha @marguicha (229573) • Chile 13 Nov

Melanie Marie I love my pills. There are only 5 things in this life that I truly love. Myself, my Timmy, my Dad, my sleep, and my pills. Side note: Maybe slowly taper down on the pain meds so you don’t get the shakeys. They might sneak up on ya. Good luck :)

The Horse @TheHorse (232868) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Nov

This Lady is so Fun

celticeagle @celticeagle (182948) • Boise, Idaho 9 Nov

This last summer my daughter meant a lady at a park event. They have become friends due their enjoyment of crafts and that they are both bi-polar. She will come over when she is manic and just talk a blue streak. For ages. My...

Melanie Marie Bipolar people are a blast esp if you can catch them in the manic phase. I had a boyfriend that just “bordered” on it, but whenever he’d drink, he’d go full blown manic on me. Strangely enough, I’d get the same way, but only when I drank. I remember I’d walk...
