My uncle had a crazy Jack Russell. I was the only person he liked besides my aunt and uncle. He had crazy energy and would just hop in the same spot for hours. Sometimes I miss that little freak!

I forgot all about Z for Zacariah! Good and scary story.

Thank you! It was quite a night.

My brother's friend insisted we go to Waffle House when I said I had never been, he told me it would change my life. It was about 1am and we were the only people there not drunk or high. Our waiter had no teeth and cursed at us. It was great!

Disney seems to really try to be accommodating with allergies. My family was having dinner at one of the Disney restaurants and a family seated near us had someone with allergies. They told their waitress who returned with the chef. He sat at the Theirtable and asked questions to the family, answered their questions,…

When I was about 4, my aunt bought me the cast recording of Annie and I became obsessed. I listened to it constantly, my Grandma made me the red dress, and I'd walk around everywhere singing or rather yelling. My parents took me to see the show that summer but told me instead we were going to a Yankee game. My parents…

I'm so glad to read all these responses and I know it's not just me! I love to clear out junk but I can't bring myself to get rid of my books or my Ernie doll. He's permanently stained, his head had to be seen back on twice but he'll live on my dresser forever. I'm also anxious all the time.

My brother and my Mom are huge Patriots fans so they're watching the game together tomorrow at his house. I'd go but their superstitions drive me insane! The right colors have to be worn, everyone sits in a certain place, it's a pain in the ass! So, I'm staying home and watching Call The Midwife on Netflix. I…

I wonder if Rosie O'Donnell has her booked on The View yet.

I went to a Fantastic Sams out of desperation to get my eyebrows waxed. My family had just moved and I hadn't had the chance to go out and find a hair salon or a good nail salon, so I decided once wasn't a big deal. The woman who waxed me did a nice shaping them but she burned me. By that evening my eyebrow was…

When I was about 13 I decided to grow out my bangs because I wanted to have bangs long enough to tuck behind my ears. My Mom bought me clips and hair bands once my bangs were a little long and they were helping me get through the awkward part in the beginning. My bangs were getting long and I was so proud of myself,…

I thought the same thing too!

I agree. Jackie had such an interesting life. I've read a lot about her and my favorite time to read about, still, is her time as First Lady. She preserved the White House and made it welcoming to everyone, she studied US and world history, made the arts popular in the US. Jackie also wanted to be a good mother, so…

My Dad was in the hospital until the 23rd and I had a bad sinus infection. We couldn't really decorate and my Mom decided our little Charlie Brown tree would have to be it this year. Christmas Eve is my favorite day all year and I wasn't feeling it. My brother kept my glass full and his MIL insisted a nice shot of…

I love getting bath stuff. My sister in law always gets me little Philosophy sets or something that she thinks smells nice. This year I got an adorable set of holiday shower gels with a little red shower puff. I also get a mug every year, which I look forward to. Little things make me happy.

My Grandmother gave me a biography of one of the popes for my birthday. I opened it and she said "Don't throw that away." I couldn't understand why she would give me a gift she thought is throw out. I was staying at an aunt's house in my cousin's room, he was away at school. So instead of packing the book I'd never…

I'm with you!

That's the most beautiful Christmas story I've ever heard! As a life long book worm, I like how your brother admired that in you and as someone in healthcare who has seen people truly in need, it makes me feel gratitude for the generosity of your brother and you. The world needs more of you both! Have a great…

My Dad loves technology. He loves his laptop and the iPods we've given him, and his blu ray, but cell phones? Forget it! He goes on these rants about wanting a phone that can only make and receive calls. No texts. I texted him once and he called me to lecture me on how he doesn't do texts. One more lecture and he's…

I love that line and wish I had a situation to use it.
