Heather Echola I have an open field north of me, in front of my house. I have seen many things, including hawks looking for small rodents and snakes. Snakes looking for rodents. Deer passing through, etc.

I have been sad today.

Heather Echola I hate that as well. The most I remember having that problem was with a laundry detergent when my kids were little. I am now always skeptical of a label that says "New and Improved" because often it is not improved.

Heather Echola Been there, done that with hubby. The thing is, the newer supposedly better blood thinners that they all push are still under patent. It is hard to find them for less than $500 per month. Blood thinners did not agree with hubby in the long run, so it is no...

Have You Ever Been Ghosted?

celticeagle @celticeagle (170569) • Boise, Idaho 31 Jan

I value friendships very highly. I don't call just anyone my friend. I don't jump into friendships. I take it slow and see what type of person I am dealing with. I don't share a lot. I do post a lot of my personal life on Mylot...

Heather Echola I have heard it said that a good listening friendship is just as effective as anti depressants for some people. I knew Oreo, was not sure if she had passed or not. I am sorry about the other friend that seems to have abandoned ship.

Heather Echola I went back to chaos after two days off in a row. Chaos is courtesy of viruses and bacteria. Co workers are out. There does come a time when you see that a line has been crossed and not mess with it anymore. I am glad today's staff is well behaved. No, the...

Heather Echola I like to think I would be. For the most part I have been, but I would be tempted to turn my back, walk away, pretend I have no idea who they are. I am pretty non confrontational.
