_______ does a good job.

Amber @AmbiePam (85314) • United States 9 Aug 11

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...

Had a great idea for Mom's memorial but I need suggestions

dragon54u @dragon54u (31636) • United States 2 Aug 11

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...

You're odd. You're weird. You're not one of us. So why are you even here?

Amber @AmbiePam (85314) • United States 22 Jun 11

I know I'm different from my family. I may look like them, and I may share political and religious views with them, but I'm so different. And I'm very aware of it. My sister had been staying with my parents for an extended...

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.
