birthday delay is a blessing

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42854) • United States 18h

Dale will be 80 in May (I can't believe it!) and we planned to celebrate at our granddaughter's house in Charlotte. They just moved in, but the renovations won't be finished by then, so we'll wait until probably the summer. I was...

Did anyone go outside to see the ''blood moon?''

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41813) 14 Mar

What can I say, my family has always been into this kind of thing...my son and I made a point to go out there at 2:10AM to see what was happening. It was dark orange and a beautiful red. Worth staying up for! Unfortunately, it's...

How can I do it more quietly?

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13332) • Ireland 13h

Most human activity is accompanied by at least a little noise, and most of the time it’s within acceptable limits. But one thing we do from time to time that is very loud and unpleasant to hear is vomiting. I know you don’t want...

First student no-showed--we'll see on the second one

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121896) • United States 20h

Ugh. That is unlike her and $45 out of my pocket. Because she didn't cancel and she has no-showed once before I don't get paid for it. The second student has cancelled the past 2 weeks in a row so I don't have high hopes for her...

Workplace Drama Is So Pointless

lilacskies @lilacskies (10682) • United States 13 Mar

Workplace drama is so pointless. It's completely unnecessary and useless. I don't understand why we can't just go to work and earn money to pay our bills and call it a day. Why do people have to engage in this twisted behavior and...

The Horse I have seen resentment at work. Resentment toward those who are really good at what they do. It can make for an uncomfortable environment.

The Horse Good one! I like the expression, "There is no bad weather. Only appropriate clothing." Or something like that. Note the typo in your post. Correct it immediately or I am going to tell Maluse on you! "Well you're neigher sugar nor salt"
