My sister is battling stage 4 colon cancer and the nearest place for her to get her treatment is in Houston Texas at MD Anderson. The problem is that she has to fly to Texas every 3-4 weeks. We have done fundraisers and she has contacted Angel Flights, and Continenntals special rate for medical...

While adopting our new baby yesterday someone brought in a dog to give up. They charged them $40 to do so. It was a young couple and they didn't even act upset.

(I know this is long - if you get tired, read the end and kindly think on answering my questions? Thank you!) I recently realized just how bad my family was eating. I have read up on things like fast food and prepackaged before, but never took it seriously. I knew it was bad for us, but how bad...

And they are going crazy tonight. I love the sound of them and the dogs in the neighborhood are having a fit at the moment. It's been an all out war for the last ten minutes. We have a big field behind our house and I love the wild life and trees. One thing I was happy about, was the housing...

What are some of your favorite excuses you hear for people NOT wanting to make a budget? My SIL: I don't want to hear the "B" word. My Brother: We don't spend that much. To which I replied: How come you are behind in payments then? So lets hear them. Did you laugh? Did it make you angry? Or...

We're going to take the kids there when the leaves change color this year. :cheer4: Ringing Rocks Park, Bucks County, Pennsylvania

..at this very moment? For me it is one of the nicest moments of the week. I am sitting in the shade on the swinging couch with my laptop in my back yard/garden which has some mature fruit trees and evergreens and I can hear the little birds which have come out of the nest in the bird house...

She's never had lessons. Entirely self-taught. If she has heard the song before, she can pick it out on the piano. She reads a little music, but mostly plays by ear. This is one of the theme songs to the tv show LOST: View My Video <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...

Just curious about the diversity of pets we all have. Many of you know that I have a LOT of animals; however, many of them I don't consider as pets. Among those I DO count as pets are: Riley (8 yo lab/pit mix) Chewy (8 yo Chow) Crash (4 mth old chocolate lab) Kenya (10 yo African Grey Parrot)...

When I was little my elderly neighbor would have me over for dinner. I remember her washing the dishes with a powder she kept under the sink. It appeared to be TIDE laundry detergent! Anyway, she was definitely a frugal woman, having been through the depression. I remember her putting about...

My 15 yr old daughter hurt her wrist in gym last Thursday. My hubby took her to the ER to check to see if it was broken. Not broken, but the ER doc and doc reading xray said there is something in the bone of her wrist could be a bone cyst but they are not sure what it is and we have to go to...

I stockpile in part to save money, in part to guard against lean times, and in part to be prepared for emergencies that might make the store inaccesible for a bit....imagine my shock to learn some folks pick it down to 0 and start over! I guess, after living through the NH ice storm with no...

Now that I've dipped my little toe into the world of soap-making, I have found that every soap-making website I visit also has candle-making supplies. Must be some fetish with melting and reforming things. Or maybe molds. Anyway, prior to learning how to make soap, I was not aware of all the...

I have been hearing on the DR show that he wants to hear from people who either are or was a reluctant spouse. I immediately thought of y'all! I am sure you have heard him request the emails, so, are you gonna do it? You HAVE to, you are exactly what he is looking for, non-believer to DR evil...

going to start charging $25.00 to have a my space page? Just wondering as a friend said she would be canceling her my space by the end of June. Know a lot of you have them so I'm just curious...

A health-care debate you won't hear The presidential candidates' health-care-reform plans talk about things you want, like choice and affordability. They're mostly silent on what you might lose. As I write this, we don't know who the Republican and Democratic nominees will be, but since the...

started feeling really rough night before last but had youngest dd coming home so we could run an errand. My dad had lent her his car as a loaner for when her car was acting up. We had taken it to her (3 hours away) and left it. Well she now has a new car, so no need for the loaner. We had...

Dh is from California. I'm a very proud Texan and spent a few years in beautiful North Carolina. Anyways... Dh likes to bust my chops about the way I pronounce a few words here and there. We often times talk about work and how our days went. So.. Dh says this to me the other day (telling me...

I was creating my avatar in the Living Avatars section. And when it came time to buy the dress I chose the yellow one. Why? Not because it was a color I like...because it was only one point and in my head I thought "heck, for one point I could dress it up...and save the difference" It took me...
