Vickie7978 No sympathy needed, but I've got one. My birthday. Last year, my dad died and this year I got out of the shower to see that my hubby had written "I need a divorce." Waiting to see what happens next year.

Vickie7978 I don't have this problem yet, but a friend of mine did. She didn't want her daughter getting one either, but as soon as she turned 18 she did. Biggest thing is to discuss placement. She didn't talk to her mom beforehand since she knew her mom would just say...

What do you do to save on groceries?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 18 Jun 09

wittywriter @wittywriter (86) • United States 5 Jun 09
