I was cleaning out some stuff in my closet when I came upon an audio cassette that belonged to my sister (even after over a year of both of us having left home, I am still finding some of her stuff in mine). This tape was dedicated to her from a guy she used to go with in high school. It read something along the lines of “I thought of you when I put these songs together. Hope you like it and know how special you are to me.” Even though it sounded corny, I still thought it was sweet. I did...

Looks like anonymous poster has struck again tonight...bumping up articles of long ago. I don't know what the purpose of this is, but it's getting pretty annoying... Will pushing our mental "Ignore" button make him/ her go away? Dunno....it hasn't worked so far. Ah well...what a kook.

I attended a “Goodbye and Good Luck” dinner tonight for my cousin Eileen, who will be leaving for Army basic training tomorrow. Eileen is 18. She is so young, so it’s natural that the family worries about her making such a huge decision. She herself is nervous and sad about this departure, but she also looks forward to the opportunities that it can give her in life. I will miss Eileen...she is one of the cousins I am most close to, for she and my sister basically grew up together. She was...

Nostalgia can be a beautiful thing. It allows you to go back in time and mentally re-live moments in your life. It brings smiles and laughter to your lips. It floods you with all sorts of good feelings. However, sometimes nostalgia can hurt me. I was playing some music last night...and it began to remind me of my family. My mood started out with smiles...but it soon turned sad, really sad. The music I was playing especially reminded me of my sister. When she was younger (from child...

I've been replying to a few JU articles tonight, and after I type up my response and press send, the page does not show my reply.    What in theee heck is going on.

Give me a 5 Sentence Update on Your Life, fellow JoeUsers.   Why am I asking for 5 sentences? Well, I have been suffering from short attention span-itis lately, so 5 works for me...lol. Here are mine: I have been having some health troubles.  It might be GERD or gastritis...who the hell knows (might need to see a doc again).  I now have an elliptical trainer that's up and running!  The question now is if I will use it regularly.   I have a good c...

~~ I used to swear by Caress beauty bars...then I got hooked on Dove. Now, all I do is buy Bodywash. I've tried everything from Aloe, to Cucumber Melon to Lime Verbana, to Lavender Chamomile (sp?). Just wondering if anyone out there still lathers up with a bar. ~~Christmas went by so fast. I feel like I didn't even have time to enjoy it. It was nice overall...but you know, I really do want some more Christmas. Maybe part of the reason my holiday is rushing by so fast is that I wa...

~Auntie Rose again~ I finally have a nephew. He was born at the end of August , and he is such a tiny little thing! It feels weird AND wonderful now being able to buy green turtle shirts and little blue baseball caps. I will continue to enjoy giving my nieces pretty, pink, girly things, though. It's been over 12 years since we've had a boy in the family (and I'm counting close cousins, aunts,and uncles, too), so this has been a pretty special event. ~Yuma~ My honey and I we...
