    ...and I don't know how to feel about it. She is a nice enough woman, moved here about 4 years ago, has one son just off to college this year and one son about 11. They are nice people. She can be a picky-picky type person, and is kind of a health nut (rightly so, she has had tongue cancer...

She made it through...

    Is it bad to stockpile wine, beer, and liquor? She was wondering if you stockpiled, would it be bad to stockpile a bottle of wine for every 2 days if you were going for a year's stockpile. I told her no. I think you should stockpile what you will use. If you use the wine, stock it if possible

    Eight years ago my husband and I were both out of work, and deep in debt. Today we are debt free (aside from utilities, taxes, and living expenses). How did we do it? The same way the rest of y'all are: instead of taking on new debt, we started paying off what we owed. There are a lot of books...

After each bath, they get a flea spray. It is Frontline. I just spray on when they are wet. Starting in...

    Okay...seriously, this is an odd question, but it's plagued me for years and I simply MUST know. For those of you who pluck your eyebrows... Does it make you sneeze? When I pluck my eyebrows, it always makes me sneeze, multiple times. I don't think it is necessarily eyebrow related, however...

    Do you feel better in general if you keep busy? As someone who suffers from depression, I feel so much better if I do lots...it doesn't matter if they're the smallest of tasks. If I can make a list of things that I've done during the day, then I feel better. Most people would laugh at what I put...

    I am excited for him, but that would be a big change for our family. I have tried to weigh the pros and cons. I would honestly have to say that the cons outweigh the pros. I don't want him to say no because this is a big opportunity for him, but I don't want to uproot our family either. I do...
