Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62316) 25 Aug

I loved her dearly for helping so many people, and her dedication to philanthropy. She will be so sorely missed.

Can you imagine living for 117 years?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62316) 24 Aug

Usually if I don't watch the nightly news (I didn't today) I read an online news page to see what's up. I like the people stories the best--when people do good things for someone they don't know, when someone finds a long lost...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I try not to think about it all but its in our faces constantly...and it's worrisome. No one wants to go to war, and no one wants to get caught up in one. This war wasn't necessary, I don't see how it can end fast. We are all suffering the...

How do you deal with stress and worries?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62316) 22 Aug

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck They have informed many people that they are expected to work for their food now. And these are people that are sick or permanently disabled. It made me so, so sad. I hope Mike didn't get cut, either.
