Lostinoz I'm not in an area that has hurricanes, though we do have tornados. I would think that she will be okay as long as she keeps an eye on the weather and listens to the recommendations to evacuate the area if it is supposed to be really bad. I hope that she...

Lostinoz I guess it has good points and bad. I can remember visiting my grandmother when I was a child and she would read all of the letters she had received and keep us updated on family members. I do miss those days, too. I am making it a point this year to...

I've had a couple of homies who sleep talk and it's hilariously annoying sometimes when you're in the middle of your REM cycle and suddenly you hear them talk or sing. People said you can ask their secrets and they would be open...

Lostinoz I had never thought of it as being unusual. : ) I may do a search myself and find out how unusual it is. This happens probably once every other month or so. Now my curiosity is piqued.

Lostinoz Isn't wonderful that we can stay in touch with family and it does not take days or even weeks to receive a letter! I am so grateful to be able to speak with family that lives across country at any time, day or night. When I was traveling with my job, I...

Lostinoz Okay, okay I give up! That last comment had me laughing so hard I know I could NEVER top that one. I hope I at least managed a chuckle from you. I saw a post you made on another topic referencing this one and I had to come and see it for myself. I am not sure...

Lostinoz Ambition requires a certain amount of imagination, does it not? Perhaps as humans they were never taught to spread their wings and fly? Or maybe they are afraid of strong wind currents? I am just a simple goose, too simple to be afraid.

Lostinoz My favorite snack is peanut butter and crackers. My second favorite would have to be popcorn.: ) My kids enjoy fruits and raw vegetables for snacks. They also enjoy cheese and crackers, salsa and corn chips and fresh fruit smoothies. No one in our family is...

If you get the paper on Sunday, there are always lots of coupons on them. Most people don't use nearly all of them. What do you do with the ones you don't use? Do you give them away? Trade them with someone? Sell them on Ebay?...

Lostinoz I usually pass the coupons that I cannot use to someone who can. I have friends who use certain brands of items that I do not use and we always swap. I hate throwing coupons away, too. There is only one person in my group of friends with a baby and we give her...

Lostinoz I wanted to respond to this topic with the grace and beauty of a duck. I thought perhaps I could wing it and somehow make it work. No matter how hard I try I cannot change who I am. With much regret I cannot reply for I am only a goose.

Lostinoz She sounds beautiful inside and out. It is so wonderful to have a mother-in-law who is loving, kind and generous. There are so many who do not have this in their family. They argue and this causes much division in the family. My mother-in-law is also beautiful...

Lostinoz I adore my mother-in-law. She is a wonderful person and very giving in so many different ways. My husband loves my parents, too. We are very blessed in that even though we were young when we married, we always had the support of our families.

Lostinoz I am not sure which change you are talking about when you ask. If you are asking what changes in my life as far as the church, I quit attending church every time the doors were open. I was taught to believe that if you are not in church EVERY time the doors...

The internet has become the hottest thing in socializing and making new friends. But do you regularly talk with people in your own area offline? Do you spend more time with real world friends or online friends?

Lostinoz I actually had not thought about it, but you are right! I use : ) quite often to point out that my conversation is not meant to be harsh. It really is kind of sad. I guess there isn't much of an alternative with more and more communication being online.

Lostinoz It does take a lot of time doesn't it! After January 1st, I usually turn to my husband and say, "We are not doing this next year." : ) Of course we always do and it just keeps growing more and more each year. I don't really do a theme either as I like all...
