Emergency surgery!

The Horse @TheHorse (223331) • Walnut Creek, California 21h

My music buddy Michael's daughter just exploded. Her new baby was due in two-and-a half-months, but her water broke, and it was an emergency. The baby was born in the hospital, weighing under 3 lbs. It was born by c-section....

Old-fashioned perambulators

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346573) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb

When we were first married, just about everything we had was second-hand or hand-me-downs. Even my maternity dresses were given to me by a friend. I think I made myself maybe one or two new ones. We were given a cane pram like...

Loretta That's quite the name. I heard of pram but never knew it was a short version of perambulator. Those strollers can really tell a story!

How far the jokes...and where does the freedom of speech stop

vanny @vandana7 (101267) • India 10h

Recently, we had a comedian who put his foot in his mouth, coming up with obscene and crude remarks on parents and sex. There is an outrage, naturally. I have unfortunately not come across the controversial content....

Loretta If you look at comedians of the past, many were so funny without offending others. They did so without sex, body shaming and other "jokes." Some of the best true comedians were Lucy Ball, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Jeff Foxworthy and yes, he did redneck jokes...

What a Name Change Can Do

celticeagle @celticeagle (171528) • Boise, Idaho 19h

A one-string 'banjo' of sorts

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346573) • Rockingham, Australia 16h

How Can One Not Believe?

celticeagle @celticeagle (171528) • Boise, Idaho 14h

My grandmother was psychic. She knew when my uncle passed. I have always believed in psychics, clarvoyants and mediums. How can you not believe in their abilities? They describe the person to you. They know how the person died?...

Don't Compliment Him

lilacskies @lilacskies (4537) • United States 15h

Loretta If he is creepy to you, I would tell him to stop loudly and firmly in front of people. Tell your parents how you feel. He knows it bothers you and continues. Definitely not a gentleman for sure.

Some of These 48 Hrs Episodes Are so Sad

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (92063) • United States 5 Feb

I do like the show alright. I admire the detectives sincerity in their work to catch the murderers. But seeing the families left behind of the victims is very moving. Do you ever watch this show? I usually have it on while I am...

Loretta I watch sometimes. I'll turn on the TV about once a week to watch a show's newest episode. 48 hrs, Dateline, 20/20, and other detective shows are some favorites. It's sad to see some of those episodes. I can't imagine the heartache with the families.
