  1. Relationships
    I'm confused. All my life I dreamed of reaching the top of my career. Now I have such a chance. But for this you need to move to another state, because there is only a place for a top manager. My current husband is against this move, since all our relatives are here. And I've always wanted to...
  2. Dave Ramsey
    Hey Everyone, I just purchased two books that Dave always recommends-Dan Miller's "48 Days to the Work you love", and Jon Acuff's "Quitter". Witch one should I Read first?

  5. Drugstore & Grocery Store Deals/Product Reviews
    While I was shopping this morning I noticed the store (Price Chopper) had marked down Stove Top stuffing to 69c a box. I was looking at the display, wondering if I should use my "buy 4 get 1 free" coupon when I noticed some of the boxes were marked "free coupon inside". So I looked at the box...

    As a SHAM If I am at parent teacher conferences with all the other working moms and dads and my phone rings ( on vibrate of course) and realize that it is the repair man finally returning my call. Do I get to excuse myself saying "It is work I have to take this" :rollsmile:cap::bow::lol:
  7. General Chat
    So I took a huge leap of faith recently. Left job, drove to other state, got to spend Christmas with family for first time in years. Had no clue what I was going to do. House up for sale, living in someone elses home... blah blah blah. Guess things work for a reason like they do...
  8. General Chat
    Thought this was an interesting article. The Case for a 21-Hour Work Week - Yahoo! Finance Having more time for family & other interests would be great. However, I really couldn't see this becoming common place. How many could actually make ends meet on half of their current salary? So, what...
  9. WOTHM
    When I was younger and life wasn't so complicated, I found it really easy to go to work. This was back when DS13 was a tiny thing and a lot easier to manage. But now, speed up to 13 years later and it's a mess. He's special needs, which means it's a lot harder for me to go to work considering...
  10. General Chat
    I have this friend that I've known for about ten years now. We'd gone through a long time where we didn't speak to one another for a variety of reasons. But I'd say that over the last nine months or so, we'd been talking a whole lot more. This friend is a long-distance friend but because they...
  11. Preparedness and Survival
    I'm one of three afterschool coordinators in my school district. We depend on (mostly) volunteers for homework help, we also have 2-3 workshop presentors each day. If one, or more, of my staff are absent, I usually can cover. But, my director is facing two possible long-time absences of...
  12. Support
    I posted part of this story elsewhere but I know that there's really good support in this forum so I'm posting here with more details. DH has always been a very happy and laid-back person who doesn't let things get to him, until recently. His salary was reduced (stepped-down many times) to...

  14. Christmas
    If you work outside the home (or if your spouse works outside the home), do you have a Christmas party through your employer? The water utility I work at has a potluck for all employees plus board members. I am taking a cream cheese appetizer with wheat thins, blt cups, and pumpkin spice...

    I know with the economy the way it is, I should be happy that OldMan has more hours. More hours = more money = less time with family. He is our hero... busting his butt 4 days a week and still putting in WELL over 50 hours... to a mandatory 5th day (which was suppose to be temporary). The...
  16. Sewing
    ~OK, somebody needs to join me today. ;) I should be easy to beat, I won't even be home half the day and the other half will be spent schooling and cooking. But I'm going to try to get in some stitching. I have so much that needs to get done! So here's how the work-along goes: -Post in this...
