lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 3 May 08

Don't get me wrong, I love having adult children, but sometimes they make me crazy and drive me nuts! Just one example: I came back from a vacation and noticed my stroller was missing from my locked garage. I always keep it in the...

Spaying and neutering dogs and cats is imperative!

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 28 Apr 08

As a pet owner, it makes me sick when I think of all of the beautiful, sweet animals who are euthanized every year in animal shelters. Much of this agony could be eliminated if people would have their animals spayed or neutered...

People who are always late for everything are rude!!!!!!!

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 28 Apr 08

I have a good friend who is always late. I was taught that being on time is a value and an expectation. This person has sisters and brothers who are always late too. If dinner is scheduled for 5P.M., most of them show up at 6 P.M....

My brother has vascular dementia

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 28 Apr 08

My brother just turned 77 and has dementia. The last 2 years have been awful for him. He resides in a 'hospital', has good and bad days, but lately more bad than good. Until the last month he kept asking to go home. Dementia is so...

Judging people by other's comments

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 28 Apr 08

For many years I thought my brother-in-law and his wife were inconsiderate and down right hateful because of the way the father of my children kept telling me they treated his mother. I was 'cool' at family gatherings and never...

John Lennon......can you even Imagine?

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 28 Apr 08

Yes, I clearly remember the day John Lennon died. I think often about how much the entire world has missed since his death, all of the great music never written and enjoyed by millions of people. What a waste of talent! Anyone out...

How can a grandparent give advice without being intrusive?

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 27 Apr 08

I absolutely love my grandchildren and their parents. I do find that sometimes it is extremely hard not to 'step in' when something, such as a behavior issue with one of the children could, from my perspective, be handled in a...

Should cats be allowed outside or should they be inside pets?

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 27 Apr 08

I have a seventeen year old cat that has always been an inside cat. I think she is healthy and still alive because she has not been allowed to roam outside. Some people believe cats need to be outside at least part-time because...

Grandchildren are the BEST!

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 13 Apr 08

Many years ago I cross-stitched a picture for my mom that said "Grandchildren are the Treasures of a Long Life". I didn't really understand it until I had my own grandchildren. After my mom died, I kept the picture and it has so...

Being considered a great mom-my life goal

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 13 Apr 08

The hardest job I have had in my lifetime is attempting to be a great mother. I made many mistakes, especially when my kids were young, but they seem to have forgiven me. The extreme groundings, not listening, complaining about...

I'll die from them.

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 13 Apr 08

No matter how bad they make me feel, I more than likely will die from cigarette related illnesses. Every day I think about it but not hard enough! Even knowing I will miss seeing my grandchildren grow up doesn't stop me. After 45...

Wish I would have had grandchildren FIRST

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 13 Apr 08

How much easier raising children would have been if the grandchildren came BEFORE the children. They would have been great 'practice' before the actual all encompassing responsibility of child rearing. It is wonderful that I don't...

Euthanasia is too hard!!!!

After having 4 wonderful dogs, all of them are gone. All had to be euthanized due to health problems. 3 of them were nearly 15 years old. I have decided not to get another dog as the end is just too hard. Anyone feel the same?

The only place I haven't gone that I really want to before I'm 68, is Hawaii. Would love to hear about all of the wonderful places in Hawaii that others have seen and experiences.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to do the 'right thing'.

lhw7661 @lhw7661 (51) • United States 13 Apr 08

My adult children are wonderful, but no matter what I do, I get the feeling that I am not what I should be. I agonize over some of the stuff I didn't do when they were growing up. Is there any way to quit beating myself up?
