Hi all. It's been a while since I've posted. AGAIN. Seems like when I have something to say, I just don't feel like posting. Also, I've been very into politics. Maybe I'll post about that later. The reason I am posting now is...

Rocketj1 Hi, Dawn! Just popping by to see if anyone from the old days is still active here. I see you on fb, but somehow I missed hearing about your injury. I'm sure things must be healed up by now and you are out and about. I broke a bone in my hand once tripping on...

Rocketj1 Hi Cynthia! I'm just a little late to the party. Thought I would stop in here and see who may still be around. Seems a little different, but then I guess I've gotten pretty used to other social media now. You are special and loved :)

Would you replace your wedding rings?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 11 Feb 18

How symbolic is your wedding ring to you? If after a few years of marriage you were in a position financially to purchase a nicer ring, would you? We went in today to get my wedding rings resized. I lost a lot of weight a few...

Rocketj1 It seemed that my 2 kids went through phases where they got along wonderfully and phases where I didn't dare to leave them alone together. My advise is to hang in there! It may just be a phase and things will improve.

TANSTAAFL in Practice

Kyla Matton Osborne @Ruby3881 (1963) • Canada 8 Apr 16

Rocketj1 Nope. Actually, that's the thing about the US. Everyone has the right NOT to vote and yet still have the right to complain. Laziness and/or stupidity does not erase our right to speak our minds. Freedom is just that. It's FREE! Voting is wise, but it's not...

Falling hair... how to prevent it?

bellebads @bellebads (740) • Philippines 16 Apr 13

Rocketj1 Hair can fall out for many reasons. It could be stress or a medical condition. You may want to go to your doctor and see why this is happening. My husband has diabetes and whenever he has a time where his blood sugar numbers are varying wildly, he will leave...
