Thanks, @Profile_Name. Been together 8 years, married 5, expecting baby #1 in 2 months. I hope we really are together 4ever! <3

Sorry to hear, hon. I hope your child's difficulties ease with whatever treatments they have. Have you considered getting involved with a charity or organization that could help you guys go on vacation? There are lots of groups for people with chronically ill children that try to make the parent's lives a little eas...more

My hubby actually NEEDS the wheelchair when we go to Disney. While he can walk, he can't go for long distances. He has a pronounced limp because of a misshapen foot and his foot swells after a good half hour or so of walking.   Why anyone would pay that ridiculous amount of money is beyond me. And the lines aren't TH...more

Whatever happened to solar energy? Wasn't that the big "green thing" a few years ago? I thought it was a heck of a lot simpler.

@Concerned, nope. It's not like I slather the newspaper in vinegar. I just spritz the window with it, then ball up a sheet of newspaper and wipe the window. Never had ink on my fingers... or the window for that matter. And I've NEVER had streaks, either. I suggest giving it a try. Worst case scenario... you decide you ...more

Maybe I'm special, but... we weren't dumb enough to try any of this crap when I was a kid. The most "dangerous" thing we did was sneaking out of a friend's house so we could go to the beach at night. All we really did was sit on the beach while some of the guys smoked cigarettes and talk about how "bad" we were. Then w...more

Hubs and I live on the cheap too. Around $50/week. Every couple of months we buy a sirloin roast and cut steaks out of it. (About 30 steaks from a $30 roast, plus bits for stew. Can't beat $1/steak.)   We mostly shop Aldi's and Sam's club. We also do batch and freezer cooking and eat leftovers for several days. And I...more

I dunno about a "tax on the poor". My grandmother called it a "tax on people who failed math". I've never played once. It's a waste of money. When my grandfather died, I threw away enough losing tickets that, had he kept the money he spent on them, I could have paid for my college school books.

I dunno what everyone's talking about. My life isn't boring at all. We went on vacation to Las Vegas last year for my friend's wedding. We actually take a trip somewhere every year. We have friends that we barbecue with and have family game night with. (Scribblish gets kinda funny when half the players have been drinki...more
