clary21 I pick up every penny I see because it is a learned habit from childhood. My first-grade teacher did not believe me when I told her that a dime she found was mine. So, in order to get my brownie-scout dues paid, I searched for pennies underneath the monkey...

clary21 I understand because I have been there. How come your fiance said some things you can't repeat? I hope he was not cursing in front of the children. It is human nature for mothers to be protective of their young, and us mothers do not like to be told we need...

clary21 I know what you are going through because I listened to all the excuses my ex used to give me. Finally, I got an attorney that handled the situation for me, and I never went without the payments after that. It's strange how my ex came up with the back child...

clary21 I know after a certain amount of time (I think it's 7 years in Texas) you can have your records sealed. You can go to a law library and get the paperwork to do the legal proceedings yourself for a fraction of the cost to hire an attorney. For an example, an...

clary21 I guess I am pretty cheap, too, because I prefer cloth towels so I can use them again and again. It just seems so wasteful to throw them away. I know paper towels are probably a better way of fighting germs, but I just hate to waste the extra money on them.

clary21 It is hard to say, but I believe our society is getting worse because people do not seem to be able to handle their frustrations in the traditional way. Maybe these individuals get so deperate and have a feeling of being trapped that they do not know what else...

clary21 Rozie37, I hardly know how to respond to some of your beliefs. You say that freedom of speech should have limits. How can an individual think twice before offending others when he/she does not know they will be offended? I think intention must be a part of it....
