Are you still using your air conditioner?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 1 Nov 07

We live in the south, so it's not uncommon to run the air conditioner late into fall. Last year, it didn't get really cold until Christmas day. As is, it's early November and we still use our air conditioner on a daily basis....

jjallwilliams5 Hello! I have never been in this situation myself, though I used to know a man who had his ex-wife living with him for the kids' sake. They acted as though they were roomates that were not close to each other (friendship-wise). Now, as for me, I'm not sure if...

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 31 Oct 07

Yesterday my future daughter in law was complaining to me about my son (as usual..lol) and his laundry habits. She said he takes off his socks and leaves them in a ball and doesn't turn them right side out. He does the same with...
