  1. Meal planning
    DH and I have been discussing the gluten free menu that we've had in place since August. While we have seen some marked improvements in DS11's behavior, we're not certain if that's something dealing with the diet or other means. This other means includes a change in medication dosage and...

    Yep. You heard me....NOT switching. On one hand, I'm proud. On another, I feel kinda bad. See, I was price shopping for tv/internet deals just to see what was out there, and it turns out we could switch to Verizon Fios and get a 2 year price guarantee for faster internet service and more HD...

    For all of you tech savvy folks. Am I nuts for considering this? I am seriously entertaining the idea of saying buh-bye to windoze and swithching to Ubuntu (linux) My only big hang up is that I have a couple of websites that I maintain that use Frontpage file extensions. I'm not sure if it...

    :dancing: Yep, that's how I feel right now. It's only been a week and it's already affecting me. At the start I was feeling like it wasn't right, that I just didn't know what I was getting into and that I was shortchanging my family. You know what? Those thoughts are gone! Now my head is filled...

We might be getting a grant from the city where we live, they came and did an inspection today and they asked us before they started is there anything in our home that we think needs repair, we of course said yes, the heating system which we went on to tell them is...

    I've been trying to switch appliances off instead of leaving on standby. However, my husband says that I'm not to switch the computer off as continual switching it off (computer is only not in use at night) will break it. I'm no expert but I think this is unlikely. Who is right?

    We had some problems with our new insurance agent that we got when we moved here. I had been with this company since I started driving but since we moved we figured I would leave my agent for one closer to here. Well to make a long story short we never got anything from him. We lost our...
