I was supposed to be doing a "gig" on Monday. This is by a company that usually offers focus groups. They did this one other time, and it was much closer to where I live. However, this one was supposed to be in Maryland. The...

marguicha @marguicha (230405) • Chile 11h

Only once in a while I watch a film that is totally funny. Comedies, like horror films, tend to be much less than what I expect of them. I stopped watchibf horror films some time ago because I don´t like to be alone if I find a...

I am Up Early.

rakski @rakski (159659) • Philippines 13h

Yes, at 5 in the morning. The reason for that is I have to pick up my daughter for her to go home. She brought some clothes for washing. The Mayor suspended their classes in anticipation of rains today. But they have online class...

I live in very close proximity to 3 bodies of water. One is a very large lake a few blocks away. The other two are right behind my home, one is a lot smaller and should be termed as a pond, but the people here call it the ''little...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I’m a stickler for training a dog the way they should act. While doing rescue work for so long, I discovered that was often the number one reason that dogs end up in a shelter or simply get dumped-because they aren’t house trained,or they bark...

Today at the pharmacy there was a mother trying to cope with a very tiny baby who was absolutely screaming and wouldn't stop. The baby could barely even get her breath, she was crying so hard. The pharmacist came from behind the...

How do you deal with stress and worries?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62115) 22 Aug

I try very hard to deal with stress in a positive way, up front and head on, so to speak. Everything from deep breathing to walking to sitting calmly to do something that calms me--and I can generally get past the extreme part....
