mintchocolatechip Maineiac55, you must ask yourself this question: Do I want to spend the next 25-30 years living like this? That's what I asked myself after 24 years of marriage to a man who was an intimidating bully who always wanted things his way, who totally neglected my...

mintchocolatechip I think I can fast forward the clock a little bit for you, ladysurvivor. I was in a similar situation about 18 years ago. My family was just unbearable to me and finally, the only thing I could do was walk away for good - that was the plan anyway. I can't tell...

We went to the Merrifield Fall Festival on Saturday and there was a Dr and his assistant there giving free stress tests/consulations and it just so happens that when my husband stood on the scales, he actually leans a lot to the...

mintchocolatechip Make sure you tell your husband that the chiropractor will not "cure" him in just one visit. I went to mine for a pinched nerve in my back that was excruciating. I had to see him 3 times a week at first, then 2 per week, down to once a week. The entire course...

I am getting very frustrated searching for a job in the new city I've just moved to. Have been here for 6 weeks and applied to over 40 positions without any luck. I realize that making a career change as I am, going from classroom...

I first saw Guster when they opened for John Mayer in 2004. I'd never heard of them until I read on the ticket that they were the opening band. Went onto their website and listened to some of their songs and thought, hmmm, they're...

Does anyone know of a good arts and crafts supplier in or around the Glasgow area? I am especially interested in unpainted wood pieces.

mintchocolatechip Great tip, Beauce. I've suffered with sinus infections for years. If I can hedge one off by using your method, I will give it a try.

mintchocolatechip Criminal Intent is definetly my favorite. I know it's the writers actually, but I love watching how Detective Goren gets right into the criminal's mind, how he psyches them out. It's not quite the same when Detective Logan is handling the case, although I've...

I know he's not a child any more, but I'm feeling very sad because I am 3,000 miles away from my son today on his 20th birthday. It's not him who has moved away for college, the military, or even a job. It's me who left a couple...

mintchocolatechip Thanks summer218, you make some good points. I did feel like I was going to completely disappear before meeting my present husband. Your encouraging words are helpful.

mintchocolatechip You've given me food for thought, palonghorn. To be honest, it has been a rocky road since I moved here. I do love my husband and he treats me well, but we have been through some very rough personal and financial times. All part of life, I know, but I would...

mintchocolatechip Thanks for the comment wotfpatty. I would have loved to bring my son, but he didn't want to move. He had his friends, school, girlfriend, and preferred to stay with his dad. At the time, my self-esteem was rock bottom and my ex worked hard to turn my son...

mintchocolatechip I really enjoy painting on unpainted wood items, such as sign boards, stools, containers, etc. However, since moving to the UK, it has been difficult to find suppliers. If anyone out there knows of a good website, or shop in the Glasgow, Scotland area, please...

Do you only have just one bottle of perfume that maybe you've been suing for years and that you wear all the time so that it's become your 'signature scent'? Or maye you have different perfumes for night and day, casual and smart,...

mintchocolatechip Iused to have loads of different perfumes that I used depending on my mood or what message I wanted to send that day. Now I'm down to just two; Stella and Escape. Stella was a gift from my husband and I really do love it. Escape was something I chose, but he...
