Sheilamarie78 @jerzgirl Yes, it will. I have grandchildren across the ocean and another set two hours away. It's important to make the effort to see the closer ones often so you can build up relationships. I have a closeness with the distant ones, too, but it takes more...

Sheilamarie78 We are trying to see our granddaughters every year now but travel is so expensive. I hope you can find some creative ways to connect with yours.

Sheilamarie78 It's hard to be so far away from your grandchildren that years go by between visits. That happens to me, too. Kids grow so quickly.

Happy Friday Everyone! another hot summer day. No rain in sight and the storms they predicted must have missed us completely. Everything is so dry now that we have warnings about fires. Even the lawn crew didn't come this week as...

Sheilamarie78 Yes. I guess it's a process, a combination of figuring out what you enjoy and are good at and the opportunities that come your way. Sometimes, too, a person lives in a certain place and wants to stay there so tries to figure out what he or she can do locally.

Written by newbies who haven´t read the rules. I know that all of us do something that is not according to the rules once in a while. But is more so with newbies. When we were at school, we knew that we had to study before we...

Sheilamarie78 I tend to read posts by people I find interesting, even when the subject is not that interesting. We all have our good days and bad days. I know the kinds of posts you're referring to, though, but fortunately I haven't come across any yet.

It's a common interview question and we have all come across it in many circumstances in our lives. The question sounds so easy but again it's hard and some cannot put it down on paper or just say it. What are your strengths and...

Sheilamarie78 Good for you! That question almost seems like a trap because they are asking you to reveal what you don't want them to know. If you are a bit naive or just a very honest person, you might tell them something that will make them reject you. I like the way you...

Sheilamarie78 I also don't understand what you're talking about, but I'm guessing it's another writing site. Do you really usually get paid every day? That's extremely rare, isn't it?

Sheilamarie78 My sons took paternity leaves and their wives were grateful for the help. And of course, the first little while of living with a newborn means nobody sleeps. If we want to strengthen families and encourage fathers to be involved with their children, paternity...

Right now, I am just waiting for my small laundry load to dry. I am getting extremely sleepy and have no choice to have a nap. Not happy about this, but I can hardly stand up. Enjoy your whole day.

Sheilamarie78 I hang my laundry to dry outside. I like the way it smells after drying in the sun. Also it's more economical.

Sheilamarie78 I made some gazpacho last night. It's refreshing to eat something cold on a hot night. I'd stay away from too much ice cream and soda, though. I haven't seen ice milk for ages either. My mother used to get that sometimes.

Hello everybody! Here I show you my baby turtles, which were born a few weeks ago, approximately. It is a very nice experience to have such little turtles. And especially to see them come into the world.
