How is the time change treating you?

Amber @AmbiePam (105490) • United States 15h

I’m one of the few that doesn’t mind the time change (usually). However, this year, my sleep has been so messed up that I might have changed my mind. I woke up at 3:45am this morning, and never went back to sleep. I never have to...

A childhood song I have never forgotten.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50372) 2 Nov

Do you have one of those? A song that made you feel happy and loved, taught to you by a loved one? I do...and it's a somewhat silly little tune, but it helped me in my childhood and even now, it pops up in my head quite often. I...

Loving That Yellow Fruit

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90497) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Nov

The yellow fruit I’m referring to is the banana. It has even been sung about, and if at all it’s possible to believe, I discovered ten songs sung about this fruit, but the list didn’t include one of my favorites, a song from 1923,...

How old is too old?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (166255) • United States 31 Oct

Recall on a prescription drug that affects my son.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50372) 31 Oct
