Cheryl - Because of the volume of calls going in and out of the city last night, a LOT of people couldn't get through. Prayers that your friend is OK and that it was only an issue of cell service being disrupted. Friend of mine's dad was there as well, and it took him two hours to finally get...

Yes I've had to do one before, but my situation was different and if I had the ability to see into the future, I would have LIED for mine. We had to do the "Now Discover Your Strengths" test and read the book. My number one strength was Harmony, which states, "People strong in the Harmony theme...

I'm going to be honest here...that's a really great job for smoothing canned icing! I hate working with it because it's a ... well, you know. But both look yummy. And quite frankly, when it's all said and done, nothing ends a meal quite like a homemade cake.

Thank you everyone! I had a really good day and it was interesting celebrating my first birthday as a mom. Spent time with family and friends and really had a blast.

AHA! Thank you!!!!

I really like how the circles allow you to EASILY set up groups. Facebook's privacy settings can be difficult to navigate and I have to always make sure certain people at work can't see my status updates there, as well as photos I'm tagged in. It's really a nightmare. There are some bits of it...

We actually do consider all of those things when we look over our budget in general, so it's already set up to consider if I were to not work. And I give props to those who can stay at home and not go stir crazy. I know it's a full-time job in and of itself, and fully respect the women who...

Thank you! I completely agree with you here! Thank you so much!

Thanks for responding! I'm hoping to get away from writing for a living, because I really wanted to do technical writing (which is what I was hired to do) but am being forced to do journalistic writing. The problem with not writing at my current job is that my performance has to measure my...

This will be long, so please bear with me. Many of you might know that I recently had a baby girl. I was home for 8 weeks with her and began to feel a bit lost as a woman and wife. I knew I was a mother, but I never want to be defined by my children, so feeling lost wasn't so great. I knew I...

Oscar gets so proud of himself when he plays fetch, that he starts to drop it further away from you because he looks up and gets excited and needs chin scritches. lol "I'm gonna get it, gonna get it! GOT IT!" *runs toward mom" "MOMMY!" *drops toy and runs to mom to rub her legs* "Look what I...

Yeah, I know it's not a new scam but this is the first time this particular one hit my family. My grandfather (her late husband), was mugged in his own home by a scammer. The guy said that he owed him money for a paving job or something and when my grandfather went into the house to get the cash...

My grandmother is 89, and two years ago was diagnosed with having onset dementia. Her memory is failing and she often forgets recent things, but repeats stories from decades ago. We know that her thought processes can fail and we try as much as we can to help her. She came VERY close to losing...

Are they threatening to prosecute you? I'm not understanding why you need a lawyer. If you are being charged with a criminal act, does Canada provide counsel? Or are they threatening to sue you? Also, from what I can find out about FASD is that it's not a diagnosis, but rather a term used to...

I'm not sure how Texas A&M decides on who is accepted, but I know that Purdue's vet school is really difficult to get into. My sister in law just graduated as a DVM. She majored in animal medicine as her undergrad and was put on the waiting list her first year applying. After speaking with an...

Ok, now that someone mentioned Rachel Ray, I have to ammend my previous post to include the word yummo. Maybe it's the way she says it, maybe it's the word itself, but it gets on my nerves! It's so bad that when my cousin kept posting to Facebook using it, I revised my settings so I wouldn't...

Irregardless always gets me, and my mother uses it with such enthusiasm when she's heated up about something. *facepalm* My family also says warsh instead of wash. Last I checked, there's no R in wash. :/ Overusing the word like is no longer something 80s valley girls overuse in daily speech...

It's not the coupon itself that makes it a great deal, but rather combining the coupon with a great sale. For example, I had a few Similac coupons and manufacturer's checks for $5 off ANY Similac product. This weekend, Babies R Us has all small-boxes of formula nursettes on sale for $5 (the...

If I were you, I'd try to make whatever you use to block the entryway at least 4 feet tall. I know Scotty, as big as he is, can clear 4 feet pretty easily, but if your cats aren't good jumpers, it might be tall enough to keep them from jumping over.

I missed out on the deal yesterday and am kicking myself. DH is telling me to buy it anyway at $6.99 US, but as I told him, I'd pay $0.99 for crap but now I have to decide if I actually LIKE the songs. They're a bit off from what her previous releases have been, so I'm still thinking. The...
