What is your opinion on gun laws? Should they be tougher? Should they not?

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 7 Jan 13

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 7 Jan 13

People who whine on Facebook

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 4 Jan 13

I am so tired of some people who whine, complain and put their fights, with others, on Facebook. Sure, we all have a bad day, or need support, but some I had to remove them from my newsfeed, because they were so annoying. I...

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 20 Sep 12

Home from work, a little late. There was an accident on near my home. Luckily no one was hurt bad. I was coming up the hill and someone flashed their headlights at me, but my brights were not on. Then it dawned on me that...

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 10 Aug 12

I am always glued to the tv, or taping it, if I am not there. I love the Olympics, and not just my country, but watching all of the amazing people, who work so hard and give up so much, just to try and be a part of it. I am...

I had to share this video of my granddaughter in interview at a pageant.

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 28 Feb 12

She is four and did a natural pageant. She won, too. All of the kids were adorable but I think her interview, which had the judges and audience laughing, won it for her, because she is not shy and extremely...

Don't drink and drive! My son is dead for 8 Christmases. It's not fair.

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 20 Dec 11

This is how I have celebrated Christmas, for 8 times now, without my son. I get to decorate the telephone pole where he was killed. Why? Because someone thought that drinking and driving was okay? He died horribly and was only...
