JudithP I grew up in a place like that, Chesterville, Ontario. No one locked their doors and everyone knew everyone else. As a kid I knew all my neighbors in a four block radius. That's really nothing to brag about, there wasn't very many houses on each street. The...

How Does Your Job Affect You?

JudithP @JudithP (295) • Canada 4 Aug 10

I guess I just need to rant. I work at a small convenience store and my bosses are driving me crazy. I signed up for my summer holidays way back in February for the second week in August because that's the week I'm getting...

JudithP Hi Angelgirl, The wedding went off without a hitch and we all had a wonderful time. As for my boss, he ended up giving me a better position with full-time hours and I was able to quit the other two part-time jobs.

Are you aware that in whatever you do, no matter how ordinary it may seem to you, affect other people around you? Be it good or bad, you may change other people's life. You may not be aware of it but it's true, what you do affect...

JudithP What you say is so true. I work with the public on a daily basis and I try to always have a smile and a nice word for everyone. There are times when I just want to reach out and touch someone, (being sarcastic), but I realize that they too need something to...

From time to time the muse grabs me and I find the energy to burst into print and write a story or two. I am always searching for an appropriate showcase for my efforts and a couple of days ago seized upon HubPages. Being me I was...

JudithP Hi p1kef1sh. I started writing on HubPages about 2 months ago. You own your stories and articles on Hubpages. If you choose to publish them on other sites, your earnings drop slightly. I haven't earned a great deal yet but I only have 6 hubs. I've had more...

JudithP Welcome to myLot. The other day I was trying to find a way to earn more and I started the myLot challenge. I've been at it for six days now. I've raised my discussion level by 46 and tripled my earnings. I will easily make $10.00 this month....

What ARE they doing?

hvedra @hvedra (1619) 7 Sep 10

I've been trying to enrol at a local college for an evening class. They only take calls between 9am and 1pm except that they don't TAKE calls at all. It constantly goes to the answering machine and asks for you to leave a message...

JudithP Watching soap operas, playing video games, out to lunch since last semester. It can be so frustrating when people don't have the decency to call back, especially a business. You would think they would welcome new clients and more money. If there is an...

Silly Papers??

ANTIQUELADY @ANTIQUELADY (36440) • United States 7 Sep 10

My favorite grandson came to see me yesterday. I always have something for him. Yesterday it was a paint by number picture. He loves to paint, color draw or whatever & we usually do something like that together. It was way too...

JudithP Yup, I read the silly papers yesterday. I had a slow day at work, it was a holiday here, so I decided to read the paper. Shhh......I shouldn't say that to loud, I don't want my boss to find out. The funny papers have really changed since I was a kid but still...

Torunn @Torunn (8607) • Norway 6 Sep 10

There's been lot of moose wandering around in town this summer but I haven't met any of them. I haven't really seen moose, I've passed some while driving or riding but not very close up. Today when I drove home from the stable two...

JudithP Hi Torunn. I live in northern, Ontario, Canada. In our small town seeing wildlife isn't a once in a lifetime thing. Bears and raccoons are our usual visitors, but we get to see foxes, coyotes, moose, deer and the odd timber wolf. The bears can actually be...

Life can be so unfair...

julialois28 @julialois28 (105) • Philippines 6 Sep 10

I thought I'd be feeling fine now since it had been two months since my father left us. He died of an illness, and I really find it difficult to accept the fact that he's gone, that he's no longer coming back to us. I always pray...

JudithP Sweetheart, it's going to take time to get past this kind of pain. It doesn't happen over night. Gradually you will start to remember all the good things about your dad and it will make you smile. It will get easier. You just have to give it the time it needs....

Far tooooo many kids

cher8558 @cher8558 (425) • Canada 5 Sep 10

Hi friends, I purposely do not watch these shows about numerous children. I think it is very un-natural for parents to have litters of children (and that's what they are, litters). The latest one "19 Kids and Counting"....

Write How You Speak

T_Diamond @T_Diamond (965) • New Zealand 4 Sep 10

When I first began writing articles, the way I presented them, felt very stiff. Almost too formal. If I spoke, exactly how I wrote - you'd think I come from Mars. Then a friend of mine told me, why don't you just write the same...

The Pope will shortly pay an official State visit to the UK. Whilst he is here the costs of his visit will be met by the British Government (i.e. the taxpayer) and the costs of the three Masses that he will officiate at are to be...

Blogging and Domaine Names

JudithP @JudithP (295) • Canada 3 Sep 10

JudithP Yes Louie they had it first. I just don't know why it didn't come up when I did the search. I'm not to worried about it. It was a fairly new blog, only five months and I really hadn't even started throwing it out there to the net. Every thing happens for a...
