Reply to Two Minutes of Terror at the Mall in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Gosh, you poor mom. It's so hard when you want your children to be free to enjoy their childhood. That happened to me with my first child, she was three years old. I know the feeling of terror that comes with that experience. Like your experience, I'm so glad everything worked out. No, you're not a bad mom. Keep on giving them all the love they'll be better for it. As Poetmom says, have a glass of wine and take deep breaths.

Friends....after all these years in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I'm awaiting the arrival of my friend who will be here in another week. One more week - I can't believe it's almost time. I'm happy, yet very anxious, and so is she. It's funny that we're both feeling the same way. We had this conversation, on the IM recently where we talked about what it would be like when we see each other, would we recognize each other? Then w

Mig, I hear ya. It's sad when people die young. It would be great to "go" after you have lived a long and fulfilled life. To actually pass on while in a peaceful sleep. It's sad to lose people when they haven't had a chance to live their dreams or "see" what life have to offer them. When it's your time to go, it's time. Such is life! But I understand your sentiments.

This is interesting. The title alone was enough to get me reading. But I have one question, why? Have you never been to a funeral or is it just curiosity and you wanting to attend one where the person actually died from old age and nothing else?

I'm glad your mom's health is returning. It is true that God can use any circustance to bring about his purpose. So insightful! And kuddos on "Steve's Assist". He didn't have to do anything and yet he took the time out to help his fellow woman. Great!

Does It Really Matter? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

How important is it for you to have a great life? Is it really necessary to have the financial capabilities for you to have a great life? I bet it is pretty important. How on earth do you have freedom to do anything at all if you don't have the money to take care of it? You have to be able to pay your way in this life, no question about it. If you can't do that

Reply to What to do about my mom? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Thanks WiseFawn. I have to get her checked out to make sure she's ok. The good thing is, when I got home yesterday, she looked so much better and said she felt better. But she didn't eat dinner yesterday. She said she wasn't hungry. So I made her some tea and asked her if she wanted anything else with it and she said no. Of course I had to bite my tongue to not say more. I'm trying not to be too pushy with her. Then after talking to her a while,

What to do about my mom? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

My mom is visiting and spending some time with us. I'm trying to make sure she's comfortable in our home and that she's fine. I've noticed recently that she doesn't seem to be eating and I keep asking her "mom did you eat today, what did you eat?" as if she's the child and I'm her mom. I know she's getting tired of me asking so I decided to leave her alone on that

Life can be so frustrating! in Welcome JoeUser Forums

Have you ever wonder if the things you experience in your life happens only to you? It feels so all the time. Yes, I know there are people out there who are going through so much more than I am right now. Much deeper stuff that is life threatening and so much more painful because it is happening to them. However, this is my life and is important to me. There are things that ar
