I've been frugal for nearly ten years now, primarily out of necessity. My boyfriend hasn't really had to I guess-his last wife made more than enough for the two of them, but she also didn't practice good money management skills....

ladynetz It is very hard to keep everything balanced and paid up to date. I had a long period of time when I used coupons. Used them my self, what I did not use I exchanged with others for something I needed. At times it could have been a gift card to one of the chains...

ladynetz Judging others and what you see is easy when you are not involved.I was thinking the same until I was so outraged that I did have a fight in front of my kids. We are not divorced, and hope not to be either.

My 6 year old wants his own email address. I am not sure it's a good idea. I was thinking that with supervision and only giving his email address to family and close friends, maybe it would be a good learning experience for him....

ladynetz in my opinion, he is too young to have a personal email. Mayb the age of 10 is a little bit more appropriate. But again, nowadays kids know much more then us and technology for them is as natural as was for us going out with friends.Just make sure you have...

ladynetz being happy it's not only to find love. It's also being grateful for your health, family and friends. Love will come when it's the proper time. And after it comes, if you want it to stay you'll have to work really hard at it. As everything else, love is...

ladynetz I would not drink water during meals as water dillutes the gastric juices and the result is that the food does not get digested properly. You can have problems later with your stomach. Finish eating and then drink.This is my opinion.

ladynetz I think that people start to smoke or take drugs first of all because they want to show their friends their are "cool". After that they like it and slowly become addicted. Takes a long way and a strong will to get rid of these addictions in the long run....
