Two of my kids have been divorced and one is remarried and one is going to be remarried. I have been changing out pictures of my son and his ex wife and I really don't know what to do with them. Since that was part of our lives I...

abitosunshine Good question! I would put the photos in an album or a special photo box. As you said, this is part of your family life as well as part of the life of your children. I know when I got divorced I was quite tempted to destroy photos with my ex in them but...

In light of the homework assignment that Kathryn brought home from school yesterday, I got to thinking about ourselves. Yes, I discovered upon reflection when working through her assignment with her that I can say something nice...

abitosunshine What a great homework assignment! Curious, what class and grade was the assignment for your daughter? I so agree with you that I can think of a compliment for nearly every person I have known in my life, even the worst of the lot. Complimenting myself is a...

I hear so many people complaining about every tiny infraction in their lives, but seldom hear them speak up when all goes well. I went to McDonald's the other day. The lady taking the order was cheerful, upbeat and made me feel...

abitosunshine I applaud you for going the extra mile in showing appreciation for good service. Being in the food service industry, I know that makes a good worker smile. Those two little words ... Thank you! ... make giver and receiver feel good. I always like a win-win...

Do you like to read? Do you sign up for book giveaways online? If you win a book in a giveaway or contest, do you read it and then write a book review on the book? I love to read, although it's something I have to make myself...

abitosunshine Yes! I still receive free books online, from giveaways and from a book review website for authors. If I receive the book via the Reviews4Reviews site, then I post my book reviews on site. For all other books, I post them in articles on Squidoo or on my Ruthi...

abitosunshine I see you react about the same way I do when you cannot be internet connected. Oh, I have a dog, but I don't kick her either, though with all my carrying on I think she may think I am going to kick her, ha!

abitosunshine What do I do when I cannot get online? I cuss and carry on! Fortunately, the only time I cannot get online is during a storm and when the power goes off. If it's daytime, I go mow the lawn or sit outside and read a book. If it's night time, I usually use a...

As children, my siblings and I all enjoyed playing with a yo-yo. I was never really good at performing tricks with my yo-yo, but did enjoy the repetitive action of the yo-yo bobbing up and down. I think it was soothing...

abitosunshine I love vegetables! And as far as I know I have always loved them, even as a child. Same with fruit. I like variety, though, so I do not like to eat the same thing all the time. Thankfully, there are plenty of vegetables and fruits to keep me happy. The only...

abitosunshine I agree completely! I know I will be energized by the excitement of it all, no matter what it is I decide to do. I still have not made my impulsive move but I have sure been thinking about it a lot and plan to do it real soon... whatever "it" is!

abitosunshine I do know exactly how you feel about the need to do something different and impulsive. I have been having the same feeling of late. Mostly due to finances, but also due to just allowing myself to get in a boring rut of the same work-sleep-eat every day. Yes,...

abitosunshine My preferred takeout food these days is either Mexican foods or seafood salads. My roommate eats neither of these, so it is easier for me to get it carryout than to cook it myself.

abitosunshine For that dog's sake I sure hope you can find someone to contact to get him taken from those who abuse him. I would be reporting them and possibly even cutting him loose myself. I have no tolerance for those who torture animals this way.

abitosunshine Yes, toys have definitely changed since I was a kid, too, and I am sure they will continue to change along with technological advances. Like you, I would rather see vintage toys make a comeback.
