I don't know if anyone remembers that my DH was planning to go to law school in the fall this year. We've been struggling lately trying to figure out how much we needed to save up for tuition and books for him because student loans wouldn't cover it all. Well, we got a letter from the law...

Breaking news. The house just passed the bankruptcy law allowing bankruptcy judges to modify the terms of a mortgage IF the people can prove that the bankruptcy was unavoidable and IF they can show that with modification they can actually afford the home. Bank Executives had the gall to imply...

Of all the laws in the world there is one that I really hate and it happened to me today again - Murphy's Law. Why is that an appliance never breaks down when you are finished but always when you have LOADS to do? My dryer broke down today and it will not be repaired but replaced because it is...

And I say ugh b/c he was such a spiteful person. Everytime someone hurt him he would 1 up them by throwing his HIV status in their face. The one time my SIL asked him to move out so he slit his wrists and bleed all over her house while her girls were home. Any hoos someone in the family pissed...

I opened this Email this morning and I just do not know what to believe anymore! What are your honest thoughts on all of this? I personally just want to sweep it under the rug and forget about it but in the back of my mind the possibility of this lingers. I know that dh and i are prepared...

We are having a major Murphy's Law week. Our water line from the well to the house got a hole in it. We have the waterline on TOP of the driveway. We can't even drive all the way into the yard - can't drive over it. But at least we had water. Friday DD took a shower. A few hours later...

A very dear friend just sent this to me: One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by...
