My father in law died over two years ago and my mother in law is still grieving. His clothes are still hanging in his closet. We're about to go to my mother in law's house for about a week to help do some things around the house....

daycarepal Maybe she finds comfort in having his things around. People all grieve differently. For her, maybe she still isn't ready to let go completely. I know 2 years is a long time, but when you lose a loved one, it can be very hard to move on. I would sit down and...

daycarepal I always take the pots and pans full of food and set them on the counter and everyone fixes their own plate. When my kids were little, I use to fix their plates for them.

As an adult, who usually pays when you go out to eat with your parents? My dad is visiting with us right now and he always tries to pay for meals when we go out to eat. Sometimes we are lucky enough to grab the bill from him, but...

Is there anyone that solely watches movies based on the reviews of movie critics? Do you agree with everything they say about each particular movie? Most of the time I will go see a movie without reading any reviews. If the...

daycarepal I don't always pay attention to what the critics say. I usually base a movie on who the actors are and what the story is about. That will determine if I go see it or not.

daycarepal I have done both, rented and owned. I like owning my own home much better. When you own your own place, you have the freedom to do whatever you want to your home. You can paint the walls any color you want. In an apartment you are limited to many things. Also...

daycarepal Do the lillies bloom every year? I bet they looked really beautiful when they were in full bloom. I love flowers but never have alot of luck with them. They usually end up dead before their time is up. Do you plant new flowers every year?

daycarepal Nope he's not an engineer. He's actually a car salesman. He probably could have had a career as a builder or a contractor. He is very handy and can build just about anything.

daycarepal The blue shades are actually pop up canopies that I bought at Walmart. They really worked out perfect for us. We will take them down in the Fall and Winter months so they don't get ruined.
