dustinnikki I avoid going anywhere that day. I never have any money to go at that time anyway. It just always seems to work out that way. We went one year but we will never go again. It's a big time waster. After spending 3 hours in a store just to check out is not my...

dustinnikki I don't think I could part with anything in my house. We have been struggling but haven't had to get rid of anything. I think it will have to be something really bad before we had to. We are lucky and have a landlord that will allow us to pay rent late without...

dustinnikki Children are definately not saviours for a relationship like that. They are kids and that's all they should be. They aren't the ones that should be doing the saving and they shouldn't be put in that position. It's the parents' job to protect them-not the other...

dustinnikki I use Norton antivirus. It costs us $40 for 18 months but I think it's worth it. It scans for viruses, spyware, scans my email (using Outlook), and it has a firewall. It also updates pretty frequently to keep up to date with the new viruses. I have never had a...
