About a week ago when I went over to my parent's home, I could tell both my mom and dad were upset. Just a recap for people who don't know me, my mom is 52 and has dementia very badly. She knows who everyne is, she just forgets...

gdesjardin My sister use to do that to me, until I finally had to tell her how it really was. She would come into town for a few days and say "oh, it isn't that bad", sure for a few days nothing is that bad. Sometimes you have to make decisions in the best interest of...

I was bored on the net the other night after I had caught up in my emails & thought I'd look for old friends on facebook & searched a guy's name that I met when I was 14 (we met 19 years ago)..I thought I had found him so messaged...

gdesjardin It is kind of funny...he signed up on FB about 2 weeks ago, and has been on it all the time now. I have been trying to get him on FB for a long time now and he never seemed to want to. Then all of sudden, he had a nostalic moment and wanted to look up old...

I do. My latest was just a few minutes ago when I was writing about a soccer team whose theme is "You'll Never Walk Alone" but I wrote---"You'll Never Walk Again". I don't know why that made me laugh so much, it's...

I was appalled the other night when I saw breaking news that 179 teachers were involved in a huge cheating scandal in Atlanta Georgia. 179! They were changing test scores and giving children ansewrs so they could meet the criteria...

gdesjardin My brother-in-law is a teacher up in Chicago. He works in an intercity school and not in a great area. They are trying to get the teachers to go to the students house at least once a month or so. So now his day won't end at 3:00, it will be much later than...

gdesjardin @ stephcjh You must live in the Southeast. I live in Tennessee and it is terrible down here. Very humid and very hot. I am scared about our electric bill as well, it definitely won't be a cheap one!!!

gdesjardin I should have tried to keep up with reading the discussions, as now I am really lost. In the beginning of tax season I would work 12-15 hour days. I would come home exhausted and of course have the spend time with the kids and hubby. I would end up looking at...

gdesjardin Oh I don't show cleavage, I just can't wear turtlenecks or even t-shirts with a collar close to my neck drives me crazy. I prefer to wear v-neck t-shirts...not low cut, just not too close to my neck. I don't know why I am like that, but anything too close...

gdesjardin @ purplealabaster. Where I love rice, I do believe it has to have something on it. It is hard to eat just plain white rice! And mixing stuff in rice I think is normal, no matter what it is. To me, just plain rice is hard to eat by itself.

gdesjardin Okay, would you hold it against me if I said I love to put butter and garlic powder on my rice as well...LOL. I haven't tried rice with sugar in years...and it probably now is good that I don't like it that way being that I am now diabetic. I remember when we...

gdesjardin That reminded me. My dad puts sugar on his rice. Yes, I said sugar...which I think is gross on white rice. I do use salt if the rice isn't salted already when it is prepared....which my dad thinks is gross. Go figure!

gdesjardin I agree with Gerty..maybe someone "borrowed" it for a Dr. Who convention. They just had a big one in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Of course, stealing is stealing and to steal from a little girl is terrible! Apparently you can't have anything unique anymore...it is...
