Although it hurts knowing that my daughter-in-law took the kids across the country making it even more difficult for my son to see them, I am glad she decided to land within two hours of where I live. I don't currently have a lot...

Sheilamarie78 @jerzgirl Yes, it will. I have grandchildren across the ocean and another set two hours away. It's important to make the effort to see the closer ones often so you can build up relationships. I have a closeness with the distant ones, too, but it takes more...

Sheilamarie78 We are trying to see our granddaughters every year now but travel is so expensive. I hope you can find some creative ways to connect with yours.

It's a common interview question and we have all come across it in many circumstances in our lives. The question sounds so easy but again it's hard and some cannot put it down on paper or just say it. What are your strengths and...

Sheilamarie78 Good for you! That question almost seems like a trap because they are asking you to reveal what you don't want them to know. If you are a bit naive or just a very honest person, you might tell them something that will make them reject you. I like the way you...

All of this hot weather and waiting on my central air to be repaired has me dreaming of cold things to eat. I sure don't want to cook and make my house even hotter. If you know me, you know what a sacrifice that really is, as I...

We are going to Bunbury in the morning. We are having a mini-break, staying in a hotel within walking distance of a theatre where we’ll watch seven films in three days. We could watch the films individually in our own city but...

Hello everybody! Here I show you my baby turtles, which were born a few weeks ago, approximately. It is a very nice experience to have such little turtles. And especially to see them come into the world.

Sheilamarie78 @Sheilamarie78 Could be I spelled it wrong, too. It's much like tea, but it's a different plant and has no caffeine.

Sheilamarie78 @sjvg1976 My mother got her driver's license at the age of 65. I thought she was very brave. She also knew when it was time to give it up when she approached 90 and her vision and hearing deteriorated.

We lost my sister-in-law about 15 months ago. She was a great knitter but always had bad eyesight. Eventually, she had to give up her knitting and sewing. Her husband has given me a lot of her yarn and I’ve been gradually using it...

My daughter Claudia called me. It was a 2 hour conversation or, better said, class. She bought some asparagus plants. 10, to be precise. And she wanted me to tell her that she didn´t have to wait until next year to eat her first...

Sheilamarie78 @marguicha I think so. I put mine in a shallow pot so I can bring it inside once the weather gets cool. It would die if I left it outside in wintertime. I've read that a the pot should be shallow because the roots grow horizontal.

Sheilamarie78 @sallypup I only got one last winter when I needed it to travel to see my mum. Travel is so hard now without a phone as everyone assumes you have one. I resisted getting one for years.

Sheilamarie78 Hi Gabby. I haven't been on this site either for ages. I wrote this little "bug rant" over a year ago. No, I don't live in the city, which is why I have so many dear critters around. I hope you are well, Gabby @Gabugs .

Sheilamarie78 @enlightenedpsych2 I think all the talk of preserving the right to own guns is misguided. We should be more concerned with preserving the right to maintain life -- such as access to health care and sufficient food and shelter -- than to insisting that people...
