    Yes, I understand that my relationship with my bf was rocky. But it was a 5 year relationship. I am not just going to "get over it and move on". I officially finally ended it on Sunday, today is Thursday of the same week. Why can't my friends and co-workers understand that I need time to...
  2. Debt Reduction & Money Management
    As you know we took out a loan to buy a van in July. This is our first debt in years and we aren't happy about it, but it needed to be done. We did put $10,000 towards the at the beginning. Anyway, our goal had been to pay it off within a year. Well, just as soon as I made that goal...

    I can't believe that I am complaining about this but I am. Each year my husbands family exchanges names. This year my brother-in-law's girl friend had my name. We each open our gifts one at a time. Our family limit is $20. People were opening their new dvd's pj's and other wonderful gifts...

  5. Debates, Politics and Personal Opinions
    well, i ventured out today to do my normal weekly grocery shopping, since my area was not hit hard. I will never understand people. I will never understand people who don't evacuate when told to do so (coastal areas) i learned that people had no ice. (duh, there has been a hurricane in the...
  6. Debt Reduction & Money Management
    I dont know if things have changed but when I was in high school we werent taught anything about personal finance and that kinda bugs me now that I had to learn the hard way. I cant understand why schools dont have required classes in dealing with personal finances, even just basic things like...
  7. Goals and Dreams
    Ok, I just finished responding to another thread that rising costs might see me biking to work. Nice goal, good idea under normal circumstances. Then we get to the BUT part (I always seem to have a big "but" in the picture). I am currently unable to walk, much less bike. So, while that might be...

  11. Education
    Damon has constantly been the brunt of criticism and mean kids - actually Aimee and Ryan went through a phase of it too, but Damon continues to have this. And he is also "such the victim" I don't understand - I don't know how to help. He always plays alone on recess and he is not afraid to ask...
  12. Debates, Politics and Personal Opinions
    This is one of my all time pet peeves. I get so upset with the media for not respecting the title of a person's office. I mean they don't refer to the Queen of England as "Mrs. ______________" so why do they refer to our president as Mr. Bush???? He is President Bush. Even if they do not...
  13. Health and beauty
    My dd is 9 and has absolutely no appetite, not even for junk. She is thin for her height and is really starting to look scrawny. I have debated taking her to the dr. but am afraid they will give me that line "oh, she'll eat when she's hungry". In her case its just not true, she's never...
