I think I have a terrible habit of writing the term "lol" when I'm typing on forums way too much. LOL is the abbreviation for "Laughing Out Loud" ... and half the time I write it I'm not actually laughing out loud, though I do...

makelifehappy I don't really know how anything works here, lol...so I'm not a good person to answer these questions! But, I will say I have searched in the search box for different topics, and I'd imagine the tags help make it easier to find topics that I am interested in....

It's always very hard to discern between who are your real friends and who are not Even if we go the conventional way and say, true friends are those who stay by you whatever the situation, you will assuredly confirm that only...

makelifehappy I have sadly had a lot of friends who I thought were real friends, but sure enough I was always there for their problems...they were never there for when we would be going through rough patches! There is something I was reading about for friends and...

I'm just trying to feel something right now. It's really tough because I've become a "non-person". I don't have a home any more, just a huge pile of twisted metal and charred ruins. I have the bare minimum!m in clothing because...

makelifehappy That must be so hard! A lot of people don't understand the need for creative expression - art is as good as therapy in my opinion, especially if you are in a place where you feel like you can't express yourself and you have gone through a lot of hard times! I...

makelifehappy I like the snow, we usually get cold temperatures with no snow - my thought is if it's going to be freezing cold, we might as well have pretty snow to look at. It's not so bad this time of year because at least the daylight starts coming back! Those dark...

makelifehappy Google, Facebook, and EVERY thing tracks us now. It sounds like crazy conspiracy theory, but it is reality - just what types of things you search in Google can influence what type of results you see and what kind of ads are displayed! Facebook also tracks so...

A recent hobby I have started learning is how to spin yarn. I fell in love with how rhythmic it is to spin wool into yarn. I learned at first on a drop spindle, and then eventually was surprised when someone gave my husband a...

makelifehappy There is a lot to explore in the fiber arts world! I agree sewing is an artform - I barely can get my machine to sew a straight line, so when I see others making dresses and quilts I am in total awe. Spinning came super natural to me - like you I've explored...
