If a person called a store's manager to say they appreciate how clean the store was, and how nice the employees were, and then named one employee in particular, do you think the manager would go tell that employee someone called...

mamacathie Yes! I think we should let employers know when someone treats us good and when we see good things going on in a store. I think it is great that the manager would go tell this particular person. Nothing boosts the morale better than encouragement.

I've been up all night. I'm tired, but the pain I'm having in my legs is keeping me up. I've been putting off taking a pain pill because it makes me sleepy and plus, I really don't want to take a pain pill if I have to. It's like...

I thought that giving each attendee a sheet to fill out would help with the grief and also make a wonderful keepsake that I could distribute after I collected all the sheets and got them copied and bound. My idea was to have...

mamacathie Dragon54u, at my mama's funeral some of my cousins stood up and spoke of what my mama has meant to them in their lives. That meant so much to me. I would want to know how my mama touched their life in a special way? Something funny they remember about my...

I am reading an article that really hits where I need it. It is talking about living a life of peace by living simply. I do not have any heath problems except vitiligo, which is the loss of color pigmentation. This is worsened...

mamacathie You have a good points, frontvisions, but I guess it is the way we pursue our goals. I know sometimes it seems we have no choice but we really have a choice in the way we are feeling inside and the choice of how we are dealing with the "stress". Thanks so much...

So I didn't do myself any favors earlier this month. I haven't mentioned this to anyone because I feel badly about it enough. A lot of you know although I've had migraines since I was little, I've had a batch of them back to back...

mamacathie God made you special and don't let anyone make you feel bad. We are all made unique in a very special way because God made each one of us like snowflakes, different. Most of the time when we are told we are odd, weird, "dumb" etc, the person telling us that is...

mamacathie AmbiePam, I wonder if you were to delete her out of your address book and re-enter her in if that would work. I do not know that much about it but know that is what I have had to do with other problems on my email and computer. Maybe you will find the answer...

mamacathie I rush and pick up and try to make it look a little more presentable. I don't know why, I know they have seen it all. It just makes me feel a bit better I guess if I do make the house a bit more presentable.
