Ever felt like you lost many friends at once and don't know why? sm

Have you ever lost touch with someone you used to know and really liked for a friend, but so many other things like career, family, etc., just made it difficult to get together very often until eventually those times became less and less? It happens, I know, probably all too often. I met a gal in college and we managed to stay in contact for only a few years before life just got so much more busy for the both of us. The years went by. Now, I'm feeling just terrible after finding out she bat ...

From The Atlantic Magazine The Greatest Risk to the U.S. Economy Is Still the People in Charge of It The recession gave us a lost decade. Congress added a lost year. The budget wars since 2010 have cost us 12 months in job creation. DEREK THOMPSONOCT 17 2013, 8:03 AM ET 21in Share More Reuters The 16-day shutdown of the federal government cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars in lost economic activity, from an idle district, to lost personal income ...

Remember when we were young girls and boys? That "crush" feeling you get on a same-sex person because you thought they were so awesome? I feel like a silly school girl with a crush! I reconnected with an elementary school friend about 6 months ago, and she is so successful (not super rich, just owns a local business), so fun, so beautiful and is so generous and friendly and loving! I find myself wanting to just hang out with her, her husband and her kids all th ...

still in office, and so was Saddam Hussein. The European Union didn't exist and neither did China's economic powerhouse. The Berlin wall had just come down and Germany had finally reunited. Hillary Clinton was a little-known mouthy First Lady of Arkansas and the media gleefully predicted that Donald Trump would never climb back to the top after his Atlantic City fiasco. On the other side of the Iron Curtain, the Eastern bloc was in shambles, but the USSR was still standing with Mikh ...

I have three very close friends, two of whom I have known my whole life and one I've known since the sixth grade. Whenever it's someone's b-day, the other three take her out to dinner. We started doing this a couple of years ago. It's sort of a girl's night out we do four times a year. We go out to dinner and sit and talk forever. Anyway, the friend I've known since 6th grade has all of sudden decided she wants to bring her husband ...

To all my "ageless" friends!! ...

my husband (soon to be ex) has said some things to me that are hurtful. He complains I don't clean house well, I have let myself go and hateful to his mom. I tried to fix the things that he said needs fixing. I stepped up on the house cleaning, lost a little weight though I still am not skinny. I have tried to be more inviting to his mom, apologized for any wrong doing, took her on trips, tried to make her feel welcome in my home, fixed meals for her but he was still ...

I found some text messages on my husband’s phone to this other woman. They ready “hay miss you shouldn’t have to work so hard” and “You working behind a counter is not right” and “Hay a friend of mine sent me this and said it was the answer to all my problems” A picture of a man kicking a woman out the door. I confronted him and his explanation was that “Hay miss was him addressing her as a Miss.” And the p ...

I wanted to play Words with Friends with Facebook on my PC. I get to the point where it wants to load friends but then it says retry later. My question is can it be played on a PC or do you have to have a Ipad or Iphone. My daughter said maybe my computer is too old. It is only five years old. I got addicted to that game on a friend's Ipad. I do not play any other games. TIA ...

Rand Paul. He goes on the record as being concerned about Hagel's "ties" to Friends of Hamas. Don't senators have better sources of information available to them? ...

Have never been to this church, know about it and the pastor is well known in America. I have read reports about their standing, singing with band, loud blaring music because the auditorium is huge for almost an hour and cameras all over the place filming people close up I guess for the TV crowd. I am so not into this. I was brought up wearing dresses to church, music was soft and that is how I would want if I went to church. I have mostly pants I wear all the time. I have said do not care to g ...

I spent hours while growing up doing things I enjoyed. I spent hours at my house in the attic looking through big storage trunks that contained so many interesting things to me. I also loved going to a small stream close to my house to watch and collect things like minnows that I tried to grow into a frog, salamanders. Now as an adult I have not really one close friend, no one that I talk with on a regular basis. Am married and that is a close relationship, not lonely because I keep busy with my ...

She graduated from nursing school last summer and went camping. A few days later she was in constant pain and severe muscle weakness where it was difficult to get out of bed. After months of testing, a muscle biopsy showed she has Calpainopathy, a rare form of muscular dystropy. She is in her early 20's. Her father doesn't have anything to do with her or her siblings, and he refuses to believe she has this debilitating disease, saying she is lying. He has ...

contenders at Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate will say they're the toughest on big business. What they won't say is their own policies favor big business, big time. Bernie Sanders, the self-described socialist who's been attracting big crowds and gaining ground on Hillary Clinton in polls, gave a glimpse of this over the weekend, telling "Meet the Press" how he plans to compare "my consistency and my willingness to stand up to Wall Street corporations, big corpora ...

For the progressives, we have the health care - hey, it's a start. We have a lovely family in the WH. Things are lookin' up. To the loyal opposition - We may disagree and bicker, but the board would not be complete without ya. Blessings to all. ...

I have friends (a couple) who, it is getting very obvious, are alcoholics. I don't see them for months at a time and recently met them and a few others out at a pub. - The woman, about a third into the evening, became belligerent and was bascially screaming their personal business out for a few hours and ruining the evening for the rest of us and those around us. (It's kind of complicated why I didn't leave, but too long to get into.) Anyway, long story sho ...

EXCLUSIVE: At least three of the five Taliban leaders traded last year for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl have tried to plug back into their old terror networks, a government official familiar with the intelligence told Fox News, describing it as an attempt to "re-engage." The new allegations come as Bergdahl now faces desertion charges, and as the one-year deal governing the former Guantanamo detainees' supervised release in the Gulf nation of Qatar is set to expire -- at the end of May.&n ...

Back in January, Huckabee questioned the Obamas' style of parenting while praising the Duggars, telling PEOPLE: "I've pointed them out as an example of something that's wholesome and wonderful." These Republican candidates sure do keep the subject field diverse. ...

I have a friend and she has 3 kids. I love to take them places and enjoy activities but there is a huge barrier and I do not know how to handle this. I have driven for years and years, never had an accident much less a major one. I have had probably 4 tickets in my life, years ago also, most for speeding, none in the last say 10 years. The woman and her daughter are terrible back seat drivers. I can truthfully say I have never had people to ride with me that act like they do. Yesterday I took th ...

This friends family has always treated my husband like one of their own, so it is sort of like an uncle finding a gift for his nephew. It has been 30 years since we had a 2 year old so we are feeling challenged about what to get. This is family #2 for the dad and mom who are ages 51 and 49 and both have children out of college. He is an only child of two avid shopaholics, so needless to say he has been indulged and spoiled since day one. What do you get for the ...

Nice bunch of guys, no? ...

I don't think this is a coincidence. They aren't shy about talking about it, either. I mean, I'm all for medication to treat an illness, including mental illness, but I wouldn't broacast it. What happened to pride? It's like having a mental illness or a disorder is a badge of honor. I am all for being oneself and having confidence, however, that used to mean having ethics, integrity, working hard and helping others. Now it means being ...

My soon-to-be ex recently moved in with his buddy and his buddy's wife and their grandkids (whom they are raising) because his utilities were shut off because he doesn't have a job and didn't pay his bills. Long story short, he hasn't even looked for a job since moving in with his buddy. His answer to his financial woes is to try to get into a drug study where they pay you cash for being a lab rat. He has tried to get into three studies. The first stud ...

Tony Gwynn, AKA Mr. Padre, passed away today, 06/16/2014. Our mayor, Kevin Faulconer, said something that will resonate for the ages: "Our city is little darker today without him, but immeasurably better because of him." Rest in peace, Mr. Padre. May God bless your soul and heal your family's sorrow. There is a beautiful statue of Tony Gwynn in front of Petco Park in downtown San Diego as seen in the below-noted link.

Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation and Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign. By all accounts, the money and what it was meant to do never really reached the Haitian people. While the Clinton Foundation only puts 10% of its donations towards charity, the IHRC was a real racket for Clinton pals, 1% went towards Haitian groups and agencies on the ground. All that is transparent is that the money didn’t go to Haiti, beyond that the trail goes cold. The money for earthquake relief ...
