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 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.

Kids and email

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 25 Jan 13

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...

Is it water or liquid intake?

Always smiling @allknowing (136481) • India 23 Jan 13

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.
