Democracy that I want

vanny @vandana7 (98729) • India 16 Apr

Power of the people to the people, by the people and nobody to be powerless anytime....Phew...that seems a tall order. But it is simple actually. In India, I would not want a person to be elected the second term. What more not...

April @thislittlepennyearns (58103) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Sep

So a couple months ago I got a wild hair and decided to buy some makeup. Many of you know that I am about as far from a girly girl as they come. I had a few years where I did the makeup thing on a daily basis, and then I...

Denise Knight I love makeup. I wear it, even, at home. I had 3 daughters. Two were girly girls like me and 1 was a sporty girl. My oldest (even though a girly girl) doesn't wear much makeup. Many days, she doesn't wear any at all. The other two, love make up, even my sporty...

Denise Knight I was never able to afford one of those kitchen aides. I either used a hand mixer or mixed by hand. A few months ago, my brother gave me our mom's kitchen aid. My dad died several years ago and my mom has been in a care facility because of dementia and...

Rate high

Faye @FayeHazel (40248) • United States 8 Mar 23

Denise Knight I always rate honestly. But I figured my ratings would be dealt with appropriately. I had no idea that anything less than the highest rating was treated as failure.

Denise Knight One of my daughters had a bed like this when she lived at home. Her room was small, so there was not a lot of room for chest of drawers. That is where she put her clothes. It allowed her to keep her room very tidy.
