I like children and people. The people I have problems with are usually ones with bad attitudes and have not been taught proper manners or respect. I was taught while growing up not to walk through another person’s yard. It was considered rude, and by law – trespassing. Why would someone mow or plant flowers […]
Single Versus Married, And Mingling With Friends
When I was married, it was like all my single friends avoided me. I made myself available at times, but I guess taking about my son or my ex husband put a wedge. However, even though I am single now, my friends who are married, are the same. It is quite confusing. Even being in […]
