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....

Who are your true friends? are they those you know better?

Basilo @Basilo (670) 8 Feb 18

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...

On the outside looking in?

Toni LoCicero @BearArtistLady (6036) • United States 9 Feb 18

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...

I turned on the TV last night and that guy on FOX News was on. Tucker Carlson had a clip about how we who have cell phones are being watched by Google way more than we realize. The news clip went like this: A man had done an...

makelifehappy It depends on what type of work you want to do and what your personal goals might be. Most restaurants don't pay prep cooks and line chefs very much, but there is opportunity for advancement into management and overtime pay if you are in the U.S. The hardest...

Abraham Emmanuel @timely (90) • Nigeria 8 Feb 18

When you have an appointment by 7:00 am in my city... You just have to be ready by 5;30 am, if you want to meet up with schedule because the road is hardly free. I have a class in school by 9:00 am today but in the next few...

makelifehappy Traffic jams are never a fun way to spend the mornings! I used to work a job that started in a big city at 8am, and I usually left my home by at least 6am to get there, even though during non-rush hour times it would only take 20 minutes to get somewhere....

What's Up Everyone?

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 8 Feb 18

makelifehappy How old are the photos? You might be able to scan some of them and post online to see if someone can identify who the people are. That could even make a very good "viral news story", because there are people all over the world who could potentially try and...
