I am a member of a club in our town. The lodge is right on the lake. Today is the family picnic and it ended up looking like it is going to be a nice sunny day. They have hotdogs, ice cream, games, relays, pony rides and much...

SweetVTmom I bet your daughter was really excited to win the $5. Does she have plans for all that money yet? I am glad it didn't rain where you were. Some pretty awful storms went through the Albany, NY area yesterday. They have been getting hammered. Of course we are...

Well as we all know energy costs are going up, up, up...But I still can't believe this. I just got my electric bill. Now you have to realize, I live in a glorified studio apartment. I don't have air conditioning, only one fan...

Last Sunday Matt and I were supposed to go to dinner together. For those who don't know Matt is my boyfriend and we have been together as a couple for 9 years. We do not live together because Matt is taking care of his mother and...

SweetVTmom I do agree life is short--but you can neglect your current boyfriend/girlfriend either. In your case--I think he is doing the right thing being there for his children. In the case of my friend, I think he needs to be alone and cater to his ex if he would like....

No, I'm not pregnant but I have a good story about a lady who is. I'm a bartender and I was working last night. The night was fine until a very pregnant, we're talking more than 7 months, woman came up to the bar and ordered a...

SweetVTmom I completely understand that she shouldn't have drank--you really didn't have to point that out to me. My main thing is how you had to serve her even when you didn't want to---my suggestion--don't be a bartender. I am sure on top of this horrible story--you...

We are having black eyed peas cooked with smoked ham hocks, cornbread, rice, and BBQ cocktail weinies. What are you having for dinner tonight?

SweetVTmom Cool, thanks for that. My sticks are actually metal ones. I will cook the meat separate then and the veggies and pineapple together. I am marinating it all together. It should be pretty yummy.

SweetVTmom To be honest--I have never made them. So, it will be interesting. My daughter has wanted them since last summer. I got as far as buying the shish kabob sticks and they have been stuck under the counter all this time. Hopefully, they turn out okay. I...

Many people believe that fat people are just lazy. People who don't understand and judge think we chose to live this way. I may be opening up a whole can of warms here--but I thought I would try to explain it. Just like a drug...

SweetVTmom Many people don't understand why we can't just put down the fork. It isn't all that easy. You commented on how you had just bought groceries to "diet" again. I probably go through that once a year. Usually right around this time. I think it is something about...

I believe that one of the best times spent together as a family is watching a great funny movie. Our family watched Unaccompanied minors this weekend. We ALL laughed. There are some spots in the movie that will make you laugh so...

SweetVTmom I understand what you are saying about eliminating the gap. In some families, yes I believe there is a gap there. I had one growing up in my family. That taught me how to communicate better though. My children and I talk to each other. I just love the feeling...
