Sometimes its not about the words.
I've always been a giving person. I don't necessarily tell the world or people what I do - I just do it. I have no expectations so even though I may not be talking to you does not mean I don't care. I am making sure everything is taken care of. The house is clean - I bought stuff you like when I went food shopping... see I do things. What I do ( Read more... ) -
I can't talk to you if you won't
I get that I can be real stubborn and not talk when I am angry - which I am not. I am however upset over the recent spate of perceived nastiness and I am not sure where it is coming from. I will sometimes state the obvious things not to tell someone something but to open up the lines of conversation. When someone states back yeah I know and agree ( Read more... ) -
Revisit the agreement...
When we first got married we had an agreement - I cook you clean or you cook I clean. It served us well for quite a long time. It seems as if that has been unintentionally(?) forgotten on someones part ( Read more... ) -

Look I realize times are hard and you have a steel wallet but seriously not even a review??? I asked our new boss (been here a little over a month) about reviews for 2 other ( Read more... ) -

A few weeks ago our Weight Watchers leader announced that one of our members applied to become a leader. In most cases I would be cheering for any member because weight lose is not easy no matter how much you have to lose. It is about commitment to self and feeling good. Unfortunately I don’t feel that way about this member. She is perhaps one of ( Read more... ) -
Another SMH
My neighbor across the street (I live on a cul-de-sac) runs what may be considered a boarding house. She rents out the basement, garage, and 1st level of the house. The house is in terrible disrepair. She had the roof replaced this summer due to the superstorm - but they neglected to replace the roof over the front porch/door - so that is a ( Read more... ) -
Wonders and Miracles
Yes there are what I consider miracles that happen. Like actually receiving two hand made thank you notes from my niece and nephew. The envelope was addressed by their father (I know my sisters handwritten)- which I am not surprised at. It is like the mechanic who never fixes his own families car(s). So it is not the person with a degree in ( Read more... ) -
