Teaching their children that it's ok to banish family members who don't live up to their expectations - Will it come back to bite them - Thank you for your empathy and support, @owasco!! Ironically, this

What a great review! The romance genre is one I usually avoid, but this one sounds appealing, with the silent hero and the way "disability is a central focus, and I found it refreshing to see a story

Thank YOU, Jessuses, for reading and commenting! It's a mystery to me - how forgiving some people can be, and how punitive or uncharitable (harsh) others can be.

Rude neighbors - now there is a prompt for the next freewrite! You want "to go up and talk to her, as a good neighbor, what remains is to make a first contact, to try to resolve the situation before

A bad sign, indeed, to be so excited over a new gadget that leads to Brain Rot. Love your spelling - "Brian" rot - poor Brian. :) ‘Brain rot’ is defined as “the supposed deterioration of a person’s

Anywhere Imaginable by David Demro

Ohhhh but I love your freewrite - it reminds me of a Billy Collins poem! Flaubert As he looked for the right word, several wrong words appeared at his window. David Demro has just published his second

My middle child does acknowledge her childhood was one of privilege, and that I encouraged my kids and nurtured their talents and interests, and all was well, until college... Never did I lie around sobbing

Thank you - and thank you for this: 'How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.' How did I fall so far from the freewritehouse? You - @owasco, @deirdyweirdy, @myjob, all of you

First, the epic and most endearing BAD SIGN is this satire in The Onion, in 2009: Click on it! I hyperlinked it just for you! Second, I finally (FINALLY) wrote today, first freewrite in forever: THANK

Ohhh THANK YOU @honeydue! You nailed it: these days, POLARITY is more common than family unity, it seems. Therapists keep telling clients that forgiveness does not require reconciliation: that we can forgive

I love this! And I love your intuition about not entering a house - you were spared the civet cat because you sensed something off. So many good signs - yes - and so many signs that we should steer clear

Oh dear. Today marks the third time I have visited this post. My short -term memory is declining at a scary pace!

Thank you for this - 12 days later, I find it! So many things to respond to - of course I'll choose GO WALK THE DOG (not dogs - alas Prince can no longer go on walks thanks to the dog bite).... So much

She's still alive!!! Whenever I see "I miss" whoever, I think oh no, another lost (dead) loved one. This is lovely! .... they were there, at the foot of the canyon, looking after my children,

Homeopathy - yes! My niece whipped up a lovely lotion of shea butter with St. John's wort, from a miraculous field of the golden blossoms which manifested to her when she was in Germany, mourning the loss

Thank you Sam for another inspiring report from your garden! Electro gardening never ceases to amaze me. I'll never grasp how or why it works, but you demonstrate that IT DOES WORK, and I believe you.

Today I revisited this post, and wow, THANK YOU AGAIN, you really know how to lift me out of the abysss!! I keep lamenting my sins of omission (the good that I fail to do) along with my sins of commission

How brave of you to "Go There" with this one, @my job. (I'm not going there - not today.) You've suffered so many huge losses. The dream that a loved one is still alive - may it be so! Some say
