People give you advice on something you already know. This is a slight pet peeve of mine and it happens alot. Most people have good intentions,they just feel the need to offer too much help instead of just enough. Hard to be angry...

shiloh62 Good response! I have similar problem,only it seems I get asked the same question a hundred times a day. Elderly people can be understood, but this person is nowhere near that! I guess it's another human flaw that we put up with because it's in us too.

If you are a gardener like me, you've probably spent the first half of this fall composting. I could never get the complete answer on this. Should I cover my compost pile in winter? I never did before and it seems fine,but some...

shiloh62 Thank you. I've always had good flowers and vegetables,so I didn't think it really mattered. I really appreciate the advice from someone who probably knows a little more than I do on the subject. I guess everyone has thier own methods.

Last August,just before school began again, I was walking and came across two children playing at a pretend,make believe game. I thought for a long time about why I had such a whistful,sentimental feeling for so long, and I...

shiloh62 Keep a good face! Learning and working can be wonderful experiences. You only get what you put into them,however. As in my preceeding comments on this topic, I think we can rest easy knowing that we do have our childhood memories for comfort. But don't dwell...

shiloh62 Yes, most people can't. However we do know that we did have one, so I wouldn't be too sad. I feel sad for many children who don't get to have that experience at all due to abuse or neglect. I feel equally sorry for children who grow up too fast. A story in my...

shiloh62 AHA! The secret to a happy life. It looks as though you not only have a good head on your shoulders,but you've also discovered this. The trick is to balance maturity with the normal sense of discovery and wonderment inherent in human beings. It's a wonderful...

I do love it now but before? Oh my!! I don't like that food. I am just wondering why the kids in school here loves to have yogurt in their lunch? One time when I was volunteering in school, I have seen lots of kids eating yogurt...

A lot of people says that life begins at forty. Why, simply because, this is the age where the second stage of life begins. Wherein, you will notice that you are longing again on some ways that you have done before. But as you...

shiloh62 Hello airasheila! That is a very good point. Sometimes it takes some people longer to mature,or they have not yet run into those troubles and experiences that I mention. Perhaps, they just don't feel that age and so,it doesn't strike them that they are acting...

In another post, I mentioned that I got my nickname due to my love of history. My real name being George (rather common but I like it) I have also been called Georgie by family and close friends. I like that too. My granfather...

shiloh62 Absolutely! When I was a kid and I heard George! Or,even worse my FULL name - all three - I knew I was in for it! And, it is more casual and familiar. Puts you and others at ease. Thanks so much for the response Maezee!
