I saw my grandsons and granddaughter Monday

Wendy @jerzgirl (9327) • United States 6 Jul 22

Although it hurts knowing that my daughter-in-law took the kids across the country making it even more difficult for my son to see them, I am glad she decided to land within two hours of where I live. I don't currently have a lot...

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.

I Think I'm Just A Curious Person By Nature

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83109) • United States 22 Jul 22

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.

I am not motivated when there are too many posts.

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.

Off to watch foreign movies

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342088) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Jul 22

We are going to Bunbury in the morning. We are having a mini-break, staying in a hotel within walking distance of a theatre where we’ll watch seven films in three days. We could watch the films individually in our own city but...

Sheilamarie78 I do enjoy foreign films. They give you a little window into how others perceive the world.

I got the cash that was owed to me. Apparently, they were able to get all of this straight this afternoon. I was really relieved as I generally get payments almost every day, sometimes alot and sometimes alittle depending on how...

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?

Paternity Leave , Yes Or No?

Kandase @Kandae11 (55162) 21 Jul 22

There is no need to dispute a mother being allowed maternity leave, but should the father get leave too - what is called ' paternity leave' ? Of course a father being there sharing and caring during the first weeks of his child's...

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...

A Small Laundry Load

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 20 Jul 22

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.

Ugh, that air mass is disgusting

snowy @snowy22315 (182175) • United States 21 Jul 22

Today is actually less hot than yesterday because it has been overcast almost all day, and it was breezy this AM. However, the combination of the heat and humidity is just really uncomfortable. I was just outside for maybe 5...

What ever happened to ''ice milk''...is it still out there?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38702) 21 Jul 22

All of this hot weather and waiting on my central air to be repaired has me dreaming of cold things to eat. I sure don't want to cook and make my house even hotter. If you know me, you know what a sacrifice that really is, as I...

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.

vanny @vandana7 (100617) • India 20 Jul 22

Sheilamarie78 This is an interesting perspective for me as I am not well informed about Indian politics during that time period. Every country has their "baggage" and things to own up to. We are a complicated human family, full of contradictions. I look forward to reading...

Sheilamarie78 Crazy? No, I think you're brilliant to know so many languages! You were probably tired when you spoke more than one in a sentence. They say that knowing more than one language makes you less likely to get dementia when you get older.

Sheilamarie78 It's hard to let your children move on. Our job is to give them the confidence to go out and begin their adult lives, but when we look at them, part of us will always see that beautiful young child we once held in our arms. I still miss my adult sons, though...
