Life decided to bite me in the butt!!

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 3 Mar 11

You could definitely say I'm having a bad day today. I had been so proud of us, we were doing so well with our money. This week we still had $600 in our checking account, our rent was paid on the first (it's almost always late)...

aurorastorm I feel for you and have been through this and am still going through it. My husband and I both work two jobs and are not lazy at all but we just can't seem to get ahead and forget about savings. At times it feels like no matter what you do you are always...

aurorastorm I technically do not agree with lying and in my own situation, I wound up moving out of state for a better school for my child instead of trying to falsify our address to get him in a better school That being said I do not blame this mom at all for trying to...

Have you ever sued a company?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 6 Mar 11

I'm thinking about suing my dentist right now. A full month after having my teeth pulled I'm still in so much pain that I still can't eat, and now I have bone spurs poking out of my gums, that is extremely painful. Also my...

aurorastorm I have had a lot of dental work not to the extent of what you have described, but this does not make sense. What is the dentist want you to wait for if the dentures don't fit, they don't fit waiting longer and suffering and not being able to eat is ridiculous....

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 5 Feb 11

Have you ever seen the movie, 'Tequila Sunrise'? One of the questions asked in the movie was, why are friends you meet in high school, tend to be friends forever (or something like that)? I had some time this week, and I...

aurorastorm I have never really thought about this in detail, but for me when I am feeling low I like to surround myself with people that can bring me up. So not necessarily happy people, but positive people, that help me to see that there is a light at the end of a dark...

Learning the Art of Letting Go

screwdriver @screwdriver (643) • Philippines 12 Jan 11

My 2011 start with a blast! It's a total whirlwind when my girlfriend for almost 6 years ended our relationship. Last December 2010, I felt that something is really not right. She's acting so differently lately. We've been...

aurorastorm The very best thing you can do is to get away from her. One of you needs to move out, you will never be able to move on in anyway if you have to see her everyday. My cousin is going through something similar right now but with his wife of 18 years, really...

"If You disagree just shut up" is this appropriate in our discussions ?

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163776) • Garden Grove, California 11 Jan 11

telling us users before hand if we do not agree with a poster's belief on his issue to just "Shut up" is that really the way we are supposed to treat each other? What gives that person the right to tell any of us what we should...

aurorastorm My experience so far with this has been that some people on my lot do not want people to disagree with them at all. I personally enjoy hearing from people that agree with me and people that disagree with me, I think both adds to the discussion. I only mind if...

When does bad news just become white noise?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 6 Jan 11

New Year's Resolutions?

artistry @artistry (4151) • United States 3 Jan 11

Do you set yourself up for a letdown when you make resolutions which more than likely will not be kept? Or is it worth the try to make them and do the best you can to keep them? Share your thoughts.

aurorastorm This year I decided to not make my normal resolution to lose weight or exercise, I decided I needed to make a resolution for my mental health. So this year's resolution is to laugh more, worry less, that is my motto for this year. Easier said than done, but...

aurorastorm The thing I learned how to make that everyone really loves is lasagna in the crock pot. It is fairly easy and serves a lot of people. My husband really likes it because it does not dry out when you recook the leftovers.
