Toni @toniganzon (72549) • Philippines 12 Mar 12

You might wonder why i'm putting this discussion on here, but before death comes, we must have life first. My Uncle, the eldest sibling in my father's family was found dead in his apartment last Saturday. He was alone when he...

Jae2619 Sorry for your loss. I think we all wonder what kind of impact we've left on anyone we have had contact with through out our life. One hopes that they have done what needed to be done to have everyone say good things about you, and mourn for you. All we can do...

Jae2619 It's good to be frugal and find sales but sometimes "Sales" really aren't sales. You have to really take the time and figure out if what you are buying on sale is worth it. If there's something you have been wanting for a while, then you should check a few...

Jae2619 Guilt trips are always hard to deal with coming from anyone, but when a family member makes you feel bad for telling them no that you can't or won't do something for them, that's the hardest slap in the face to take. I can feel ya on this, my husbands side of...

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 28 Feb 12

Jae2619 Some parents think, that nothing is going to happen, they will only be gone a couple of minutes, or the child will sleep all night long. It's unfortunate that this child woke up to find Mommy missing, but thankfully a close neighbor was there to hear and help...

Jae2619 I can totally feel you on this one. My youngest, who is 4, still has issues with sleeping. She's like a caffinated hyena or something. She's always on the go, up at odd hours and never seems to bother her. She was born early, and had some issues with her...
