Do you or have you picked up a hitch hiker?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 29 Dec 08

I see people hitch hiking from time to time and always consider giving them a ride. I never do because of the danger of doing so. I watched on the news a couple of years ago that someone stopped to pick up a lady and a couple of...

Crying...

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 29 Dec 08

We cry for different reasons. We cry when we are so happy over something. We cry when we are broken hearted. We cry when somebody accuses us about something we didn't do and we cry to ease our miseries. They say that crying is...

buttercup100 Masmasika, Yes, we cry for all kinds of reasons. I cryed today, because someone was thoughtful. They did not see me cry though. I know that for me I have not allowed myself to cry much any. Things can happen in life that turn off the emotional button in us....

buttercup100 ellie, Yes, sad to hear you are troubled. It is hard to lose someone we care so deeply about. Somedays we must yet pick ourselves up and brush ourselves off and go on. That not so easy I know. If you have people depending upon you, you should know they need...
