A little long, sorry... I know I have not posted in a while, been busy since we moved to Alabama. So anyway I am frustrated with the IL's, all of them. Just a recap, before we left (in Feb 2011) everyone threw a fit saying how much they loved us and did not want us to go etc... Since we moved...

I feel like I'm alone here and would appreciate any input to help me better focus on a plan. My husband and I are self employed, so our income fluctuates each month, because of this we've always been very frugal with our funds. We don't spend a lot, we own our cars, no credit card debt and have...

My AC unit was working when I moved in a few months ago. The house had been vacant awhile before that, not sure how long. Now even when it is set at 78, it seems to stay at 85. It has one of those mercury thermostats. I will be changing that to a simple digital one. Could it be the...

This Saturday I am attending a baby shower. It is an unexpected invitation so I've had no chance to set aside funds for it. I have $ set aside in earmarked envelopes, I will not pull cash out from those even on a temporary basis (I do not want to risk not being able to put it back) We have an...

5 months ago my husband I took in a friend of the familys 9 year old grand daughter. Her mother left her when she was 2. Her grandmother who was her primary caregiver died 2 years ago. Her father who tried to care for her is now in jail. Before we took custody we used to take her one weekend a...

She is chow/Keeshound. Long fur thick fur. I know not to cut her undercoat so she remains protected from the elements. She has been clipped before and she looked beautiful. But beauty is not the reason behind the clip, she is suffering from allergies and is just scratching herself crazy. We...

I have a tiled wall shower and the area where the tub and tile meet are constantly turing green/brown with what I guess is mildew or something. There is caulk there, which is where it is "growing". I have tried bleach regular household cleaners but nothing is working. Does anyone have any...

Spent $$ to go see my sis and brother in law and their children / grandkids in another state. My mom and dad were there, which is one of the reasons why. It's easier (and cheaper) to visit that state than where my parents live. My parents both knew that my DBF was coming. The scenario...

I need some ideas on a new car. I had planned on keeping our 98 van until 09 but it may be taken out of our hands... it was wrecked Sat and though the damage was only the bumper fender and hood chances are they will total it due to its age. So what to look for.... I want good gas mileage...

DH and I have been talking about buying a house for a long time (like 3 years now). We've been talking a lot about waiting to be in a good position, and waiting for prices to come back down. However, we've gotten to the point where we're going to need more space soon (our son is getting to the...
