1grnthmb I like what DaddyoftheRose said. Our society is to have to be. The more you have the more successful you are. I do not and never have followed this path. I have always made my life simple. Have what I need and be content is what I live by. No need for the...

This time it's my FIL who's getting under my skin, gosh I just can't stand him. I know it's been awhile since he's gotten on my nerves, but honestly I wish he just wasn't in our lives anymore. He has to call us every single...

1grnthmb especially since when you were in need he would not help you. Now you can use that against him.

1grnthmb It makes it real hard when they hold something over your head like that. It doesn't make since if they own the house out right and you are paying them rent then they are coming out ahead because of that. They are just making excuses for the sake of being...

Many people these days are fed up with the Christmas season. It's overly commercialized, it's expensive, it's busy. It's not what it used to be. It used to be a happy time of year, where everyone's spirits were lifted. Now...

1grnthmb It has been that way for us since I got married and had an instant family. It does not have to have a lot of money to make a good and fun Christmas. It is the time spent together that makes it special. Basically we are on the go from Thanksgiving til New...

1grnthmb It was really amazing. I have been back into the Sanctuary twice since then and both time I was trying to figure out where the light even came from. It really did not look like any of the windows would allow the light to shine in at an angle that would high...

1grnthmb I am not one to look at signs and omens to really mean anything. But we have had a lot of problems the last couple of years and just recently I started going back to church. A different one then I went to before I got sick. I really kind of felt out of place....

1grnthmb As well as just having part D you need to have a supplement that covers the gap. That is what the worker who helped me said. So she figured it all out for me and found a company that covered the GAP amount where you have to pay the additional coverage....

1grnthmb It is surprising what people send or post and think is appropriate. You are lucky that you were there when your son got that. There really are to many perverts on the internet.

1grnthmb I guess I have a pretty cool landlord. If I call him up and have a problem he asks if I can fix it and says that I can subtract the cost to my rent as long as I include the invoices. It is your In Laws house, they should be happy for you guys to do the...

1grnthmb Jenny has been like that since she was young. Maybe it is because she herself is handicapped and can see that their are others who are in need. She is a really good girl.
