The photo shows another of the woodworking items being displayed in the clubhouse. I seem to be on a health kick today. I don’t have much to do with teenagers and young adults so I don’t know how common it is for this age group...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (59266) 6 Jun

A new danger down under

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382326) • Rockingham, Australia 5 May

Marie It looks like a beautiful spot. I have had people tell me that they would be afraid to go to Florida. They seem to think that alligators are roaming the streets. All the years that I was there I only saw them in the places you’d expect them. We lived on a...

How do dark and gloomy days affect you?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (59266) 5 May

Add rain to the dark and dreary, and I find that the perfect scenario for a nice peaceful nap. The deep gloom and the sound of the rain can be very tranquil and relaxing for me. We have had a lot of storms, gloom, and rain...

Amber @AmbiePam (120982) • United States 30 Apr

I heard a song by Boyz II Men on a commercial just now, and of course the words had been changed to fit the product it was advertising. Obviously, done that way the song becomes corny. However, I wondered if the music I listened...
