More And More To Do

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 26, 2021 / 3,525 views

When I was a boy we had a tiny 13" television set and an old antenna that brought in one channel clearly. I didn’t have to worry about the remote because I only had one choice of what to watch. Still, I would be in my chair when my cartoons came on. The one I liked the best was the Jetsons. It was a cartoon set in a future that was full of fantastic machines that could do anything. I always smiled...

By Emily on May 26, 2021 / 3,414 views

I just wanted to say thank you to the person who paid off my vet bill yesterday. So I had to take my dog to the vet for her allergy shot, it came to $230, well I’m still paying off her surgery from last year, the vet tech told me that I have a balance due of $200+ and I was like “oh ummm can I just pay for today’s visit?” she said “yeah, and you’ll just make monthly...

McDonald's Drive Thru

By JC on May 25, 2021 / 2,973 views

We stopped at McDonald's for breakfast. There was a car next to us in the other drive-thru lane with a couple boys in the back seat and since my window was down from ordering I waved like an idiot to them--just to make them smile while we were waiting in line. We get up to the window to pay and the mother had already taken care of our order. I know this isn't the grandest story of...

Prepare For Your Purpose

By Traci Neal on May 25, 2021 / 3,666 views

You can inspire. Learn to multitask. Be innovative. Create something from nothing. Some individuals neglect to tap into their purpose. There are a number of factors for why this happens. It can be fear, family, or finances to name a few. When people live out their purpose, they are unstoppable! I should know. I have seen this in my own life. Life has a way of shaping us. Life can make you doubt or...

I can remember once when I was just a little boy my Mom, Nana and I drove to my Nana’s sister’s house in the next town. It was a warm, Summer afternoon so I went outside to play in the yard while they all sat around the kitchen table to talk. After over an hour playing and exploring by myself I got bored and walked inside to see what they were doing. Laid out on the kitchen table was a large,...

Simple Simple Simple

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 18, 2021 / 3,339 views

After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start. With no computer repair places open my daughter talked me into purchasing a new laptop to replace it. What followed was two days of pure frustration. It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle. After my daughter set it up I looked for the old e-mail...

As nurse, ample opportunities to work overseas were being offered in my table. These offered are paired also with multiple qualifications like exams, working experiences etc. I have my license to practice my profession in middle east, I have a wonderful memories I will always cherish back then.

I told my sister if she graduated with honors I would wear a matching dress to her graduation. She said the thought of seeing me in a dress was her motivation when she wanted to quit. Worth it to me. Credit: ...

Don't Be So Quick To Judge

By Rhonda on May 11, 2021 / 4,357 views

I just thought I would share with y’all something that happened to me one day when I was driving home from work. There was a guy riding his Harley Davidson behind me. I didn’t think anything of it until I turned off the highway to head toward home and he turned off too. Then I turned into another street and he followed me again. I was starting to feel a bit nervous especially...

Hubby come home yesterday and told me a story with tears rolling down his face of a young guy he met at a timber yard he did some work for, telling him about their little 10 week old baby girl who has been operated on 3 times already and had a similar heart condition that our son had at 6 weeks old and also he experiences (had open heart surgery 2 years ago), he said it just hit home and he could...

Pay It Forward

By A Friend on May 10, 2021 / 3,169 views

So yesterday I went to the gas station to fill up my bike with my last $20 and found a $20 in the ATM. I don't like taking anything that is not mine, so I turned it in to the cashier. I was a little skeptical that she wouldn't just keep it, but after a very good interaction with her I was yeah she won't take I live about 30 min from said gas station so I told her that I probably...

Boxes

By Kay Heitsch on May 07, 2021 / 3,707 views

It wasn't long after the "For Sale" sign went up on our front yard that they started arriving in our mailbox; postcards. Each one asked to provide service for our impending move. As I sorted through the array of cards, I selected three and called the first number. A man answered the phone and stated that he would be happy to come out and give me a free estimate. He explained that he was planning...

An Adventure In Floof

By A Friend on May 05, 2021 / 3,434 views

I never get to tell my floof story anymore, since she's gone now. But you 5 people will get to read it today. Someone suggested I post here, so we'll see what you guys think. I was living in Denver near Sloans Lake and worked close to home, so I would regularly go home for lunch. One day, I'm taking a short cut through a neighborhood and reach the busy road, Colfax, that I had to cross....

The Intelligence Of Dolphins

By BrandoAngro on May 03, 2021 / 4,393 views

I see lots of comments about the intelligence of dolphins. I'll share a personal story of how amazingly smart these creatures are. I was on vacation in Cuba a few years back and during an afternoon my family and I went to a dolphin cove where you could have lunch and swim with dolphins. Now my expectations were quite mid level/low for this, I've never been a fan of captive animals so I...

Today I was on Witzel and Lake Pointe Drive in Oshkosh Wisconsin. It is a very busy street and I saw an awesome act of kindness. An elderly lady with walking assist was trying to cross. The UPS driver stopped and assisted her in the crossing. Let’s make this guy famous by sharing. There is kindness still out there. Thank you whoever you are, you made my day much...

Change

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 20, 2021 / 3,742 views

I was walking our new rescue puppy, Sweetie this morning. After we finished we came back inside. As soon as we walked through the door Sweetie grabbed my daughter’s new tennis shoe in her mouth and started prancing proudly down the hall with her new chew toy. I took a moment to laugh before snatching the shoe back and putting Sweetie in her crate with the four chew toys we had already bought...
