Hey, I am not feeling good, so I don't know if I'll be around much today. I just figured I would check in and say hey. My leg is hurting so much it hurts to walk, and when Chris gets up we will figure out if we are going to go...

paigea I have the kind of busy day that requires me to push myself. House and yard work. I’m much better under pressure but then can never get things done properly. I hope your day goes smoothly.

I got the funniest gift card the other day

snowy @snowy22315 (182204) • United States 7 Sep

Every one of us has a story. Don't judge a book by it's cover, until you read the book.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38734) 6 Sep

It's the story of us. Every single one of us has our very own story, a different past, different people and circumstances have come together to make us who we are today. At least, this is how I perceive it all at this particular...

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (90474) • Arvada, Colorado 7 Sep

Fleur @Fleura (30541) • United Kingdom 7 Sep

Second time is the charm.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (71804) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Sep

Well, around four this afternoon, George tried to sit outside in the sun and watch the school busses. However, about ten minutes in, the flood gates opened up and we were chased inside. Around eight, George decided to try again,...

Shavkat @Shavkat (140128) • Philippines 6 Sep

What do inverted commas indicate to you?

Fleur @Fleura (30541) • United Kingdom 5 Sep

My understanding is that inverted commas indicate one of two things. Either they are used as speech marks, to report the exact words spoken by someone else as in, for example, “Would you like a drink?” Robin asked. The second is...
