Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85288) • Valdosta, Georgia 14 Sep 17

Good morning everyone. I hope you slept well. So the kids went to AWANA last night. My oldest son walked out of the classroom in tears for the second week in a row and he doesn't want to go back. My son has Aspergers for those...

Marcia I learnt something new just now because I had no idea what AWANA meant so I went ahead and looked it up. I hope this situation with Jackson is rectified ASAP...such a sweet child. I would encourage you to pray about it because this adult's heart needs some...

From now on I will answer the phone differently.

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27134) • Dallas, Texas 14 Sep 17

Instead of saying "Hello?" I will say "Hell-No!" I keep getting ROBO-CALLS every single day and I am frankly fed up with all those stupid calls. I want my money back from the telephone company for pain and suffering all these...

Marcia I share your pain but I am not sure which is more annoying those calls or your mobile service provider sending texts messages of varying sorts daily (up to 10 per day). The most popular one is for us to ask our family and friends in the USA to go online and...

My friend had a baby!

Babygirlrae @carebear29 (31962) • Wausau, Wisconsin 14 Sep 17

So on September 5th, 2017 at 2:53pm my friend had a baby boy. She named him Sebastian. He was 8 pounds and 11 ounces and was also 20 1/2 inches long. He's so cute and I finally got to see him a couple days ago and hold him....

Marcia @carebear29 Let me join you in congratulating your friend on the birth of Sebastian. That's a big baby, almost 9 pounds. I have two sons and they both weighed in a little over 5 lbs and that is partly because they would not allow me to keep down any food for...

Tea seems to have more going for it than we may realize

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27134) • Dallas, Texas 12 Sep 17

Tea might be the better choice than having a coffee as my morning daily startup beverage. Why do I say this? I say this because I learned something new online and that is why I am sharing it with you, dear reader of this...

Marcia @lookatdesktop I beg to differ, green tea is refreshing, just seeing that cup of tea in the picture just activated my taste bud. If it were earlier in the day I probably would go make a cup but its dinner time now. Thankfully, I am not a coffee drinker because...

Marcia Even though we know that death is the road for all of us, we cannot help but feel sad at the passing of our loved ones. Her memories will live on. I do hope that you took that encouragement that she gave you. Condolences to you and the rest of the family.

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 8 Sep 17

Marcia I chuckled when I read this because I remember the first (and only) time I drank beer, I got drunk. A coworker remarked that if he had known it was my first beer he would have told me to sip it. Luckily for me I only felt a bit tipsy.
