Okay - I'm 34 weeks and this kid is STILL breech. My daughter was too. I know there is still time to flip, but there isn't much room in there. Has anyone else had this? I must have a tipped uterus or something. I must say, at...

Negative co-workers

countrylady28 @countrylady28 (153) • United States 18 Apr 07

I have a co-worker that I don't see very often because she works at a different office than I, but it seems I only hear from her when she wants to complain. I'm actually very good friends with her, but she's not easy to work with....

As a Christian, how do you handle it when you're in difficult social situations?

countrylady28 @countrylady28 (153) • United States 17 Apr 07

I have been a Christian since I was a child. Unfortunately I backslid and wasn't in fellowship with the Lord until about 3 years ago. Because of this, my girlfriends that I made in high school aren't Christians (most of them). 4...

How to handle a "chaotic" mother in law

countrylady28 @countrylady28 (153) • United States 17 Apr 07

My mother in law is very "chaotic". That's the only way I can describe her. When she comes over it's like she's trying to dominate and control everything that goes on. She's not happy unless she's the center of attention. She...
